Fire Bill Maher

Bill Maher has managed to get himself into a little bit of controversy again. When talking about the Pope last week he make extensive mention of his past as a Nazi....going well beyond the generally accepted tales of his membership of the Hitler Youth and conscription into the Wermacht (that last would have brought a death penalty if he had not obeyed).

His non-apology apology overthe weekend has led to a campaign to get the TV station to fire him, thus the Fire Bill Maher campaign. I don't think it will work but everyone's got a right to make their opinion heard, especially consumers.

Hey, if he said this about Mohammad, he would be in a "spider hole" in Montana!

Had he said this about any other group, than Catholics, he`d been gone from the airwaves.
Ask Don Imus,Johnny Dark,Dog the Bounty Hunter or even the Grease Man how long you keep your job if say somthing negitive about blacks...but say it about Christians and you fine...its a total double standard.
