Fight Night! Donahue Vs. Maher

Man oh man would I love to see this, big Bill Donahue challenged Bill Maher to a good old-fashioned fist fight. Nothing says "Catholic League" promotion like challenging another to a fight, because, well thats what Jesus would want, right? Christ would duke it out fighting for conservatives anytime, anyplace, eh? Well we can call this the battle of the Bills and perhaps Mr. Clinton could take some time out of his busy...or now not so busy campaign schedule to referee.

From RawStory:

In what could be seen as an effort to resurrect its sister network's Celebrity Boxing franchise to boost lagging ratings, Fox News aired an interview Thursday with the controversial Catholic League president, William Donahue, who took offense to comments questioning religion from comedian, and prominent athiest, Bill Maher.

That Maher deigned to question the divinity of Jesus Christ -- saying he was more skeptical of Christian mythology than that UFOs regularly visit earth -- sent Donahue into an apoplectic rage. The 60-year-old Donahue challenged his longtime nemesis Maher to a fist-fight. Fox News host Megyn Kelly offered to televise the fight right there on Americas' Newsroom.

"Bill Maher ... constantly is going after not just religion in general, he really has it out against Christians," Donahue charged. "I'm at the point right now where I'd love to challenge this guy in a ring ... preferably Madison Square Garden. I'm a lot older than he is, but let me tell you something, I'd floor him."


Oh nice, in Madison Square Garden of all places. That's only a 20min walk for me, I'd pay to see that old bigot splayed out in the ring any day. I know Donahue hates to hear it, but America is one of these things called democracies. And in democracies people are allowed to express their opinions, even if they differ from your own theocratic drivel. If you need to act like a schoolyard bully and challenge Maher to a fight, it might be time to take a load off and go read what Jesus would actually do instead of what many televangelists preach.
