DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #531: Bill Donohue

We’ve already won. Who really cares what Hollywood thinks? All these hacks come out there. Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It’s not a secret, okay? And I’m not afraid to say it. … Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism. We have nothing in common. But you know what? The culture war has been ongoing for a long time. Their side has lost.

I steered clear of the whole “controversy” involving the two bloggers on John Edwards’ campaign staff. While the points they made about the Catholic Church were legitimate, they could perhaps have been made more artfully and in a less obviously offensive manner. Personally, I have no problem with what either of them wrote. While I respect Catholics, Catholicism itself is little than an oppressive, highly organized form of idol worship. The old, well-fed, out of touch males who populate the Vatican hierarchy care more for dogma and obedience to their diktats than the well-being of those Catholics who follow them.

The other reason that I blew off this artificial controversy was the the blowhard making the most noise was none other than Bill Donohue, the head of the oxymoronically named Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Donohue berated bloggers Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan as “anti-Catholic, vulgar, trash-talking bigots”, for having the temerity to honestly write about their opinions of Catholic doctrine on their own blogs. Bill Donohue is the LAST person who should be accusing anyone of bigotry. Anyone who has listened to him over the years knows what an intolerant, hateful, bigoted ignoramus this DUMB@SS truly is.

Donohue cited posts that the women made on blogs in the past several months in which they criticized the pope and the church for its opposition to homosexuality, abortion and contraception, sometimes using profanity.

“The Catholic church is not about to let something like compassion for girls get in the way of using the state as an instrument to force women to bear more tithing Catholics,” Marcotte wrote on the blog Pandagon on December 26, in an excerpt cited by Donohue.

Among the McEwan posts that Donohue listed was one she posted on February 21, 2006, on her site, Shakespeare’s Sister. She questioned what religious conservatives don’t understand about “keeping your noses out of our britches, our beds and our families?”

Frankly, I think both posts are spot on. Donohue knows he can’t argue on the merits, so he’ll do what he does best; he’ll resort to bluster, faux outrage, and he’ll accuse McEwan and Marcotte of the very same behavior he’s guilty of an a daily basis. If you don’t believe me, you can go here or here to catch Donohue in a performance that mirrors pretty much every other time I’ve seen him on television:

Donohue: They will do anything for a buck, they wouldn’t care. If you asked them to sodomize their own mother in a movie they would do so-and they would do it with a smile on their face.

Stewart: In my defense I was young, and I needed the money.

Donohue is an ignorant, intolerant, hate-mongering bigot who regards those who don’t share his narrow Catholicism as lower forms of human life unworthy of even the barest courtesy or consideration. To refer to Bill Donohue as a knuckle-dragging troglodyte truly worthy of his DUMB@$$ AWARD doesn’t BEGIN to do justice to the depth of his depraved indifference to the feelings or sensibilities of others. (Donohue’s attitude can be summed up rather simply: I’m right, you’re wrong…SHUT UP!!)

If Bill Donohue is a Christian, then I’m a practicing Satanist…and say, it’s about time for me to sacrifice a fat, balding White man to the Merciful and Almighty Lucifer, don’tcha think??

Jesus, save us from your followers….
