No Post-Imus Culture for Catholic Bashers |
http://catholicleague.org/07press_releases/quarter_2/070416_post_imus.htm
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on the latest
attacks on Catholics by comedians:
"In the wake of the Imus controversy last week, CBS chief Les Moonves
said that Imus 'has flourished in a culture that permits a certain
level of objectionable expression that hurts and demeans a wide range
of people. In taking him off the air, I believe we take an important
and necessary step not just in solving a unique problem, but in
changing that culture, which extends far beyond the walls of our
Company.' It was a great statement, but no sooner had Moonves spoken
when Catholics learned that his words represented wishful thinking.
"Friday night on the HBO show 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' the
comedian showed a picture of guitarist Keith Richards in his 'New
Rules' segment and said, 'New rules, snorting your father isn't
crazy' (this was a reference to Richards' hoax about snorting the
ashes of his dead father). Maher then showed a picture of a Catholic
priest giving Communion, saying, 'Eating your father, that's crazy.'
"The next day Seth Meyers read a news story on 'Saturday Night Live'
wherein he remarked, 'For the second consecutive year the number of
sex abuse claims against the nation's Catholic priests had dropped.
Undisputable proof that fewer kids are going to church.'
"Even the TV Guide Channel got into the act on Sunday when John Henson
questioned why anyone would want to blow himself up to get into heaven
just to be with 72 virgins when you could have '72 naughty Catholic
schoolgirls.'
"It is one thing when comedians like Maher label all religions
'childish, destructive and nonsense' (as he did today on 'The View'),
quite another when the Eucharist is mocked and priests are slandered.
The Catholic schoolgirls' remark was not offensive, per se, but it was
entirely gratuitous in both forum and context. All in all, it goes to
show that Catholic bashing will survive in a culture that penalizes
race and gender bashing."

i think the roman catholic community deserves bill donohue, or
someone like him to broadly present to the world an image of what
catholicism is all about.
donohue's presence and high profile keep the world aware of the true
ugliness of catholicism.
he is to the catholic church what ann coulter is to the gop.

Divorcee Donohue was against the Comedians, but for the Catholics, right
?
Me, a zillion percent for the Comedians.

The reason they can get away with this is because the Catholic priests
have a well earned reputation. If the Rutgers women had been caught
turning tricks behind the gym after the game, Imus would still have a
job.
"Even the TV Guide Channel got into the act on Sunday when John Henson

Again, naughty Catholic schoolgirls are... naughty. The joke doesn't
really make any sense so it isn't funny and I've never heard of John
Hensen. TV Guide is historically a conservative publication. Don't
know if that applies to the cable channel.
"It is one thing when comedians like Maher label all religions

Catholic priests deserve to be bashed. The Rutgers women's basketball
team did not. That is the part that the right-wingers don't get. They
can bash Hillary and Obama with impunity but believe Bush is beyond
criticism.

Ah, the usual balanced and unbiased source...
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on the latest
attacks on Catholics by comedians:
Get a grip, nazi boy, and stop winning. No one is attacking your sect.
What is being attacked are hypocrite bastards like you or illiterate
morons like Duke or pseudo-catholics perverts like Wentzky.
Try to act decently, and no one will attack you.

Aren't you upset about all the young boys that were raped by priests?
