Bigots assail Christians on Supreme Court (or so says Bill Donohue)

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, is practically foaming at the mouth about "bigots"--atheist and abortion activists, this time--who have cried foul about the five Supreme Court Justices who, more than coincidently, happen to be Catholic.

"The only thing Julianne Malveaux likes better than abortion is Catholic bashing...We need more, not fewer, Catholics on the Supreme Court. But not of the Ted Kennedy kind. We need more loyal sons and daughters."

Umm-hmm. I'm sure Julianne, an American Atheist blogger, I'm sure she runs out to have recreational abortions at every opportunity, she just loves them so much.

Keep in mind, Donohue is the same rabid mouth who exclaimed that a plan by Cosimo Cavallaro, a New York artist (who like Donohue is Catholic), to build a 6-foot tall naked Jesus made of chocolate was "an all-out war on Christianity" and was "one of the worse assaults on Christian sensibilities ever." Perhaps a white chocolate Jesus would've been far more acceptable, we might infer.

Donohue has also received flack for various comments he has made on television and radio appearances, including a reference to Hollywood in which he stated:

"Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, okay? And I'm not afraid to say it...Hollywood likes anal sex."

Is he...is he insinuating that Hollywood Jews have a particular taste for anal sex? When confronted about his inane anti-Semitism, well, let's just say it contained a solid entertainment value.

Frankly, Donohue has shown a particular venom for all things anal--his own comments being the exception. A person frequently leaves his appearances with the distinct impression that they have just had a brush a particularly strong case of paranoid homophobia.

Could it be an indicator that Donohue is the Catholic equivalent of Ted Haggard? You know, viciously glib about gays and the gay lifestyle when the spotlights are on, but secretly harboring a muscular boy-toy and meth-addiction to fritter his away his free time?
