Bill Donohue Vs Bill Maher

“According to Maher’s logic, Africans in South Africa who lived under apartheid had no basis to complain because they constituted more than 90 percent of the nation.

Matt Barber’s Website: Bill Maher Should Be Publicly Whipped For Blasphemy

“I think it’s time to bring back blasphemy laws. Bill Maher is known for being an offensive anti-Christian bigot. It’s his trademark. But this time he’s gone too far.
