Anyone who is unfortunate enough to watch this self-righteous loser’s show on HBO (a channel that my apartment will hopefully be canceling on May 1st), knows that Bill Maher is a jerk. He’s the type of arrogant, pompous prick who thinks that his thoughts are better than everyone else’s and that – because he’s smarter that you are – you should just take his “witty” barbs in jest. In case you haven’t heard, the New York Daily News can fill us in on what this dirtbag said about the Pope the other night:
“Whenever a cult leader sets himself up as God’s infallible wing man here on Earth, lock away the kids,” said Maher, comparing the Catholic Church to the polygamist cult authorities raided in Texas last week.
“I’d like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult,” Maher said. “Its leader also has a compound, and this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats.”
After Maher said this, he flashed a picture of Pope Benedict XVI on the screen. Not only is this disturbing and disgusting, but it shows that Maher has a gross lack of understanding of reality. All this desperate-for-ratings-jerk had to do was listen to ONE comment that the Pope made since he arrived in America a few days ago to realize that he has reached out to the extreme minority of Catholics who have been abused by bastards who managed to make their way into the priesthood. All this loser had to do was open his ears (not even his mind, just his ears) and listen to the healing words spoken by the Pope. The Pope stopped and met with an inter-religious group the other night to let them know that we’re all in this thing together. The man has been the very height of religious professionalism and ecumenical evangelism since he assumed the Papacy and since he entered America.
Now, I know that this loser Maher said these disgusting, hurtful words because he wanted to get people like me to write posts like this. I also know that he wants to get people like me to watch his apology on his show tonight. Well, Maher proves once again that he knows nothing about our religion. If Maher is truly sorry for his words, then he has my forgiveness and the forgiveness of the Church. We don’t need to watch his stupid show to hear him say, “I’m sorry.” We are, however, also consumers of goods and as a consumer of HBO I choose to vote with my dollars and no longer have this channel on my lineup.
In the act of drawing a higher rating to his program, I hope that Bill Maher has set-off an Imus-like firestorm and eventually finds himself unemployed. He’s disgusting and should be shunned by all.
Update – April 2010: This has become one of my favorite entries on the entire blog. Why, you ask? Simple – there are so many brainwashed people out there who send in anti-Catholic, anti-religion, anti-white, and anti-Republican hate mongering comments that each new one I receive makes me laugh a little bit more. Let me make this clear – hate mongering comments do not get posted on the blog. So please, continue to send in your hateful comments, but know that I am the only one getting a kick out of them. That crap will never be posted on my personal blog.
Bill Maher recently said that the death of Dick Cheney may save other people’s lifes. Check it out.

Yeah – he’s not a good person.
One of the things that boggles my mind is that the whole world is generally afraid to condemn actions that are obviously wrong. What Bill Maher said about the Pope is WRONG – it wasn’t satire nor was it a perfectly placed barb at a religious leader – it was pathetic. It was wrong.
For those in this world who are so wrapped up in the day’s concept of “there is no right and wrong,” then I don’t expect them to understand why Bill Maher is a scumbag. That said, even in a completely secular world this man should be held to task for the disturbing things he said about the Pope.
And for what he said about Cheney – again, Maher seems to forget that the whole world doesn’t agree with him. Cheney’s time in the White House (and his boss’ time especially) may have lost them more support than they ever gained (I’ll raise my hand), but saying the man should die? Disgusting.
So here’s what I understand- currently there aren’t many people calling for him to be fired, only to apologize. And let me understand this…. Dog the Bounty Hunter gets his show canceled for a secretly taped PRIVATE conversation with his son in which he says the ‘n-word’ BUT the low-class Bill Maher will only get applause from his clueless audience for his heinous remarks about the Pope and perhaps a slap on the wrist by network execs (if even that).
You know, this world really does make perfect sense.
Bill Maher is a cancer who needs killed.I’ll radiat his liberal ass in :30 seconds.Faggot PIg LIBERAL SCUM.
I don’t understand where you you disagree with Maher. Is it with the Nazi remark/Hitler Youth? Or is it where the Pope covered up the molestations in the US? Either way this Pope has a checkered past and in a secular world he would have to answer for these things because the coverup was wrong.
BTW Maher never suggested that anybody harm Cheney he just said “IF” he died.
I agree with you that Maher is a jerk, but mostly because he is so full of himself and self-righteous.
Good grief.
If I have to explain all of the areas where Maher’s comments would send a Catholic living in 2008 (like myself) into an outrage, then there is no hope for this world.
I am a recovering Catholic and I think Maher probably is as well. Nothing you have said refutes his claims.
Again, I refer to my previous comment.
Anyone who uses the term “recovering Catholic” thinks their witty. To me you are just an asshole.
Real Christian of you Mike.
