  • fireman8871, on 04/21/2008, -2/+25First of all, this is America, and we have something called freedom of speech. HBO is a paid channel, not a public one available to all cable subscribers. I respect Bill Maher, and it took balls to say what he did.
    • GhostyBoy, on 04/21/2008, -6/+8I dislike Maher entirely. I think he is a poor comedian and his social criticism is weak and often hypocritical.

      That being said catholics get up in arms about the stupidest ***** and should just shut the hell up. If Maher gets ratings then he stays on, I don't care if he offends you religious dumb-ass.
      • flip2trip, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1Wow when I started reading your post I couldn't understand why you got dugg up, then you bashed religion and it made sense.
        Bill Maher isn't funny, he's just a hand puppet of the left spewing his socialist views to the liberal masses who dine at the trough of Atheistic communism.
    • WiseWeasel, on 04/21/2008, -2/+3Don't worry; HBO won't give two ***** about the petition to fire the guy. As long as his ratings stay decent, he'll have a job. Petitions are completely ignored by TV networks, and ratings are the only factor determining whether or not a show is canceled.
    • masterm1nd, on 04/22/2008, -4/+2Ohhh, so Bill Maher has freedom of speech but not the Catholics...
      • smacksaw, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1When your username is masterm1nd, try to post responses that actually are logical and/or address the original comment.
  • whodat51773, on 04/21/2008, -25/+3The best part of Bill Maher ran down his father's leg...He should be hung by his thumbs, shot with bovine excrement and then drowned for stinking
    • vudicarus, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Scenes from whodat51773's past, #541:
      Daddy whodat51772: "Who the ***** spilled my beer? Junior! Get yo ass over here!"
      Junior whodat51773 (scared): "Uh...uh...yes daddy?"
      Daddy whodat51772: "Did you goddamn spill my beer?"
      Junior whodat51773: "No, I, uh, no I didn't."
      Daddy whodat51772: "Why you! Goddamn it, I swear the best part of you ran down my leg!"
      Junior whodat51173: "Please daddy, don't get mad. I'll get you another beer."
      Daddy whodat51172: "I should hang you by your thumbs, shoot you with bovine excrement I've got in the tub in the basement, and then drown you ***** for stinking!"
      Junior whodat51173: "No daddy! No . . . .ahhh!"

      • whodat51773, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Only if my son's name were Bill Maher.
  • ssn697, on 04/21/2008, -9/+9Ah, his years and years of anti-woman ***** is just fine, but now, he has slandered the Pope!

    Maher sucks. The Catholics trying to get him fired suck even more.
  • bcuban, on 04/21/2008, -1/+20Boy is that a ***** commentary on our country when we elevate talk show hosts to "hero" status BUT as a talk show host he has the right to voice his opinion. That is what he gets paid for.
  • Ferre1, on 04/21/2008, -3/+15Those religious folks are liars. The Pope WAS a member of the Hitler jugend, the Pope DID protect pedophiles. That man is a disgrace and all those religious folks can come up with is to try and censor Bill Maher who is just telling the truth. And BTW, that nazi pedophile protecting scumbag-piece-of-***** DOES wear silly hats.
  • YodaJones, on 04/21/2008, -0/+10Fired because he said something about a guy who wears a penis hat? Get real.
  • YodaJones, on 04/21/2008, -4/+18Screw the Catholics. Maybe they ought to look inward and solve their rapist child molesting priest problems before worrying about a guy who simply made a verbal comment.
  • whoreable, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7It is funny when people try to silence criticism. It only makes it worse for them.
  • Inthelight20, on 04/22/2008, -2/+4I personally can't stand the guy one bit, but I believe free speech would be threatened by creating petitions to silence him or other people like him. I would guess that this is the core issue here.
  • 7yler, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Silly Catholics.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2HBO doesn't give a ***** who signs the silly petition to get him fired.
    Remember, they jumped to pick him up after he got fired for saying something much more controversial.
    I like Bill Maher but this is a useless petition in response to another useless petition; the true form of internet masturbation.
  • floridiot2, on 04/22/2008, -3/+1Wow, you're a ***** idiot if you try to silence another American using a medium that is protected against by constitution to protect your freedom of speech.
    • KingMoses, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Well, they're really not. You see, they're not petitioning the government to censor Maher or HBO, they're petitioning HBO to fire him. Having a show on HBO is not anyone's constitutionally-protected right.
  • UltramegaOK, on 04/22/2008, -3/+1New rule: Lets stop empathizing and focusing so much attention on wealthy celebrities when more important issues (global hunger, US dollar, War) are staring us in the face.

    I like Bill Maher as much as the next guy, but he'll end up on his feet with a different network again soon.
  • MattBlackCat, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2***** the Pope
  • smacksaw, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Where's my personal army? Where's Anon?

    Tag team match: Anon+Maher vs. Co$+Catholics
  • Ichibanit, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2I like Bill Maher, but calling the Pope a Nazi is a pretty cheap shot. Yes, he was a member of the Hitler Youth, but every young boy at his age had to be a member. Do you think he had a choice ?
  • mikephimikephi, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Am I missing something?...there is no petition on the page
    If you want me to digg the story then say so.
  • eminiguy, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I like Bill Maher even if I do not always agree with him. He is better than most talking heads on the tube, IMO. I am not sure why he cares so much about the Pope. There are more important things than that...
  • eminiguy, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Here is some funny stuff from Bill Maher:

  • dpatel, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Bill Maher is an idiot not for dissing on the pope, but he calls people who think 9/11 was an inside job, "crazy". Hes the crazy one for believing the offical stroy put out by Bush & Co.
