I have just read the comments made by Bill Mahr on his HBO show and promptly called the cable company to cancel my HBO.

Bill Mahr called the Pope a former Nazi, compared Catholicism a cult that promotes “organized pedophilia” and said the Catholic Church’s attitude is “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”
HOW DARE THIS F^&%&*! A HOLE BILL MAHR MAKE A COMMENT LIKE THAT. HBO SHOULD CANCEL HIS SHOW EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY..IF NOT SOONER

This is the last straw for our household. We not only cancelled our HBO with our cable company but we sent a strongly worded letter to HBO telling them why we cancelled. We only have ourselves to blame if the Catholics don't stand up for themselves and cry foul. Bill is a chicken since he knows the backlash if he blasphemed the Jews or the Muslims!

When you think of it everything he said was true. the pope was a nazi until 14 and the catholic church has loads of pedophiles which the higher ups knew about, so why the outrage? all the lawsuits prove it and the people who are smart left the catholic church (like myself). hell, they even advertise on the radio to get children to go to catholic school. i went to catholic school for 12 years, it is like a cult. grow up, this is america, land of free speech

Bill Mahr is funny. The same way a chimp is funny when flinging it's feces at spectators.

No offense to any chimps on topix.

Bill is as funny as he is insightful. Ironic how the very rights we are fighting for around the world, when practiced here, inflame so many. Change the channel. We have choices........ you should be watching Fox news anyway.

I guess all those people who cancelled HBO will not get any of their exceptional new series that they always come out with, like Sex in the City. More for me. Besides in the Bible it says turn the other cheek not cancel HBO. Also for all the Catholics that hate HBO please also stop watching children's movies because Shrek was naked in bed with an audience of at least Donkey in Shrek the Third. I know most people let their kids watch that.

BILL MAHR SPEAKS "TRUTH TO POWER"......HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF HIS SOCIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.......AND EVEN IF HE IS NOT 100%,IT'S HEATHY FOR SOCIETY AND ITS MEMBERS TO DO A MUCH MORE HONEST SELF EXAMINATION OF OUR CULTURAL AND EMOTIONALLY BASED HYPOCRACIES....BILL MAHR IS THE COURT JESTER WHOSE JOB IT IS TO REMIND US OF OUR SHORTCOMINGS, BOTH COLLECTIVELY AND EVEN INDIVIDUALLY AT TIMES..HE SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT REVERED RATHER THAN HELD IN DISDAIN,HOWEVER HE TOO MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE, AND BEING CRITICIZED BY HALF WITS IS THE PRICE HE APPARENTLY MUST PAY THOSE WHO "CLING TO THEIR GUNS AND RELIGION"..........R.M.
