Outrageous! Bill Maher ridiculing the Holy Father on HBO
I heard a report of Bill Maher totally ridiculing the Holy Father on HBO calling him a Nazi who heads a Church that is worse than the polygamist colony in Texas. Maher said that the Pope heads a Church of pedophiles-----and that at least altar boys cannot become pregnant.  Start at writing to HBO - and I humbly suggest that to make the point to their pocketbook - if you subscribe to HBO take it off your channels, and tell them WHY !!!!!!!! Write to the Catholic League, too.

Here are Maher's comments, from the transcript at HBO:
 
=======================================
 

[And, finally, New Rule: Whenever you combine a secretive compound, religion and weirdoes in pioneer outfits, there's going to be some child-f*cking going on. In fact, whenever a cult leader sets himself up as "God's infallible wing man" here on earth, lock away the kids.
 
Which is why I'd like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult. Its leader also has a compound. And this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats. [photo of the Pope shown]
 
That's right. The Pope is coming to America this week, and, ladies, he's single! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Bill, you can't be saying that the Catholic Church is no better than this creepy Texas cult! For one thing, altar boys can't even get pregnant."
 
But, really, what tripped up the "little cult on the prairie" was that they only abused hundreds of kids, not thousands all over the world. Cults get raided. Religions get parades. How does the Catholic Church get away with all of their buggery? VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME!
 
If you have a few hundred followers and you let some of them molest children, they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call you "Pope."
 
It's like if you can't pay your mortgage, you're a deadbeat, but if you can't pay a million mortgages, you're Bear Stearns, and we bail you out. And that's who the Catholic Church is, the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia. Too big to fail.
 
When the - when the current Pope was in his previous Vatican job as John Paul's Dick Cheney - he wrote a letter instructing every Catholic bishop to keep the sex abuse of minors secret until the statute of limitations ran out. And that's the Church's attitude: "We're here, we're queer, get used to it."
 
Which is fine. Far be it from me to criticize religion. But, just remember one thing: if the Pope was, instead of a religious figure, merely the CEO of a nationwide chain of daycare centers where thousands of employees had been caught molesting kids and then covering it up, he'd be arrested faster than you can say, "Who wants to touch Mister Wiggle?"]

Silent Scream is now on youtube!
This film made by Dr Bernard Nathenson, a cofounder of NARAL and abortion rights activist who ran the largest abortion clinic in NYC, is more than just an ultra sound of an abortion. Nathenson shows actual films of an abortionist and also describes in detail how HE did a suction abortion (apparently they have to the crush the head in a suction abortion also, as in the PBA). 
 
Warning - This is EXTREMELY graphic. It is very difficult to watch for many who have had abortions themselves. It is painful to watch for almost anyone with a heart. It's a must watch for those who want to inform themselves... watch it, SHARE it....
 
 
Silent scream part 1:
 
 
Part 2: surgeon describes EXACTLY how a suction abortion is done...
 
 
Part 3: the actual abortion commentated by Dr Nathenson, MD
 
 
Part 4: statistics about abortion by Dr Nathenson - astounding for example how huge an industry it was even in the 1980's i.e. 500-600 MILLION a year:
 
 
Part 5: the conclusion
