I don't have a dog in this fight, but I will point out that the Catholic Church's record of dealing with this issue has been unsatisfactory, to say the very least. And the current Pope was, in fact, in charge of that response at his prior post. So I'd the criticism has merit.

Get off the fainting couch, you hypocrites.

2. Freedom of speach, just watch what you say...
...coming from the network that suggested we should bring back the office of censorship, this is not a surprise.

3. Oh, brother. Doucey read a letter from a Marine who said
in protest of Maher's remarks, he was canceling HBO and would boycott all HBO's sponsors.

BWA HA HA HA HA!

That's the point of HBO - they don't HAVE sponsors!

4. let's email these reactionary creeps
foxnews has committed treason by aiding abetting a proven criminal gang like the bushes gaining power-the lies started long ago and have never stopped. Foxnews is criminal- george bush's grandfather was part of coup attempt stopped by patriot General Smedley Butler, and the pigmedia has hidden bush's rapes and other vicious crimes....shame on Foxnews for betraying America to murderous sexfiends/thieves like the bushes and reactionaries like hitler

5. Is that Faux News?
My wife was in the other room when I played the clip, and asked me if it was those stupid Faux News people.

HA! So easy to spot!

6. Why should he apologize?
He's a comedian for christ sake! And he's not saying anything thats not true.

Religion, cult, what's the difference? Catholics get together and pretend to drink blood. Sounds pretty culty to me.

7. This is what they do. They don't do facts or rational argumentation...
They do name-calling and fake outrages. And I think even most people who otherwise never agree with Faux, now do, because the pope is one of those figures you're not 'supposed' to joke about.

Watch the original Maher bit. Much more enlightening.

8. Has the pope apologized for his church's rampant pedophilia?...
That's far worse than a few words
