Fighting Hate With Hate

On Friday, the Today show had a story on Anti-Catholic bias in the media. Who did they serve up as an expert on bigotry? None other than Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League. Here's a sampling of Bill Donohue's views:

On jews: "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, OK? And I'm not afraid to say it. That's why they hate this movie. It's about Jesus Christ, and it's about truth. It's about the messiah. Hollywood likes anal sex."

On AIDS: "Name for me a book publishing company in this country, particularly in New York, which would allow you to publish a book which would tell the truth about the gay death style."

On movie critics who didn't like Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ": "The new Puritans don't seem to worry about [15-year-olds who obtain abortions without parental consent]. They like gay sex. They like [the film] "The Dreamers", a brother and sister who bathe together and stuff like that. The same people in The New York Times who say that [Gibson's] movie isn't really right for kids, they have no problems when it comes to sodomy. It's smoking they don't like and Catholicism."

On gay people against abortion: "I remember when [Dean Hamer] came up with this idea of the gay gene. Gays were all of a sudden worrying if people would start aborting kids when they found out the DNA suggested the kid might be gay. God forbid we'd run out of little gay kids, so all of a sudden, they became pro-life."

I guess it takes a bigot to know one.
