If Don Imus could be fired for offensive racial remarks, Bill Maher certainly deserves discipline from his employer for bashing Christians, including his description of a Catholic Mass as graphic homosexual acts, charge media watchers.
Explicit sexual mockery of Scripture and Catholic theology on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" should be addressed by parent company Time-Warner, say Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center, and Robert Knight, director of the MRC's Culture and Media Institute.
Maher's comments began with a verbal assault on Jerry Falwell three days after the Baptist minister's death May 15 then "escalated into a vicious attack on Christianity in general and Roman Catholicism in particular," MRC says.

Maher said, "'We weren't having sex, officer, I was performing a very private Mass, here in my car. I was letting my rod and staff comfort him. Take this and eat of it, for this is my roommate Barry. … And for all those who believe there is a special place for you in Kevin."
Bozell said Time-Warner "needs to hold Maher accountable for his despicable remarks."
"We're asking, 'Are you okay with what he said? If not, what are you going to do about it?'" he said.
Bozell noted his friend Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, has documented a pattern, calling Maher "a serial anti-Catholic bigot."
Knight acknowledged Maher is "entitled to his vile views, but he's not entitled to an endless ride on the airwaves courtesy of Time-Warner."
"If Don Imus's offensive racial joke was too much for the public to bear, certainly Maher's sickening description of the Mass and Communion as graphic homosexual sex acts is beyond the pale," Knight said.
As WND reported, Maher stirred controversy two years ago when he said Christians suffer from a neurological disorder that "stops people from thinking."
Appearing as a guest on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country," Maher told host Joe Scarborough:
"We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. If you look at it logically, it's something that was drilled into your head when you were a small child. It certainly was drilled into mine at that age. And you really can't be responsible when you are a kid for what adults put into your head."
A blasphemer, publicly mocking God and the ordinance of the Last Supper.

Did Bill Maher’s parents have any children that lived?
YOU take that back.
That is an insult to nappy headed hos.
Maher is antiChristian. He hates us. There is no tolerance in his speech.
If he wants to be an atheist, fine. He can worship his “no god” god. But he feels he is a “cut above” those who follow Christ.
His smugness is acceptable too. But then he chooses to denigrate those who worship Jesus. He doesn’t ridicule the Jews or Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists. Only the Christians. Some atheist. He is selective in his scorn.

You can cancel HBO but if you have Warner Cable, Time-Life-Warner-CNN-HBO is still getting your $$$.
He already said that the men who killed 3,000 in a suicide mission “were not cowards” and then said not like our guys who drop bombs from the sky.
He is one sick puppy.
Very good point
Now we know which end he came out of.
Nope!
A fool with a false sense of invincibility.
The title is so true.
What Don Imus said was despicable, but this is light years worse. Bill Maher’s credibility is gone.
This man is pond scum. He and Rosie O’Donuts would make a good pair on TV. Anyone who can attack Christianity and make such horrible remarks, yet in the same breath consider themselves “tolerant”, makes me sick. I’m tired of how those on the left are allowed to attack us nonstop, but any comments from us, and we are intolerant Christians. He thinks he is “enlightened” now and smarter than the rest of us, but he’ll see some day that he really is no better than the rest of us. He needs a lot of prayers.
What is it what that spyncster? Too much grass?
