Campain against Jon Stewart Begins...

[cynatnite]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....

This is just the beginning. Over the next several weeks, we will contact every major Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Mormon and Muslim leader and organization in the nation; they will be sent the picture, along with Stewart’s remarks. We will contact Viacom (which owns Comedy Central, home to “The Daily Show”) making sure that all board members and senior management know about Stewart’s anti-Christian and grossly misogynist attack. We will take out ads in newspapers, etc. We are not going away.

Blah, blah, blah...

What a bunch of dips.

[Cleita]

1. Like Comedy Central is going to blow off one of their major

money makers.

[Roselma]

2. I'm not too concerned. The Catholic League

is just a handful of super-ultra-conservative windbags. Remember that group that wanted to take on J.C. Penney due to Ellen De-generous? Well...I think the Catholic League has even less relevance. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/catholic-league

[Confusious]

6. Handful?

I thought it was just du-nahue in his mom's basement.

The guy has got some anger issues. Therapy would help, not religion.

[earthside]

20. I like that.

Bill Donohue does look like he could be America's oldest 'mother's basement' resident.

Can't you just see him in the light of a 50 watt bulb organizing his boycott on his ten year old Dell with dial-up internet?

[Luminous Animal]

19. Why did you spell Ellen's last name like that?

[Roselma]

23. She is a very generous person.

[Politicalboi]

3. Gee not a peep out of them

Over Rush or pedophiles. Fucking jerk offs. This is going to be fun. I'm sure Jon will have something on about this tonight mocking it as he should.

[Initech]

4. I hate the Catholic League. They are a group of truly humorless killjoys.

Bill Donahue is a disgusting, ugly individual - he should just go join the Taliban - they're a group of like minded individuals and I hear they're recruiting.

[jillan]

5. Wow - what did I miss? What did Jon say?

[jberryhill]

7. He identified the lady part through which Jesus was born

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. The virgina?

[Confusious]

30. No, the hooha.

[jillan]

10. And that has them in a tizzy? Haha.... seriously?!

[Lucinda]

13. + 1

I'm clueless too.

[cynatnite]

17. Vagina nativity scenes...

That's what got their self-righteous danders up. LOL

[Lucinda]

25. LOL

Jeez

[William Seger]

31. After showing a series of clips

... of Fox "news" folks ridiculing the idea of any "war on women" and then another series of them yammering about a "war on Christmas" Stewart suggested that women might be able to use "vagina mangers" to protect themselves from right-wing attacks.

[Bolo Boffin]

33. It was a picture that accompanied the story.

When Jon said "vagina manger," a picture of a nude lady appeared beside him. The breasts were covered by the woman's arms, or just weren't in the picture, but the genital area was covered with a tiny little nativity scene photoshopped in. Jon mentioned that he had not seen that picture before the broadcast, but he continued forward, and later the nativity scene was replaced with a Vote GOP button.

It was one of those "I can't believe I'm actually seeing this" kind of things. Not that I was offended at all! But I'm not surprised that William "Professional Bug-Up-My-Ass Spokesperson" Donohoe has gone ballistic over it. I'll bet that what Jon was expecting was a picture of a lady with pants on AND with a nativity scene covering the crotch area.

Should they apologize? No. It's fun to watch that vein in Donohoe's forehead throb.

ETA: The picture is in post #14.

[GoCubsGo]

9. They didn't learn from the "Million Moms", it appears.

Their call to boycott JCPenney because they chose Ellen DeGeneres as their spokeswoman not only increased Penney's profits, Ellen's ratings went up. I only wish the grocery stores here had the guts to ignore these idiots' threats over the sale of Schweddy Balls ice cream.

[cr8tvlde]

11. These folk don't mind, shall we say, inappropriate attention

around the private parts of both males and females whether anti-contraception, trans vaginal wands, anti-gay, the not-married fornicators, etc. One might say a bit OCD. And they DO NOT think anything about sex is funny. Dirty and smutty and behind the barn or pics stuffed under a mattress, ok, yes. But having some fun, nope.

That being said I did see it and it was a bit beyond the pale even for Jon. And they did leave it up quite a long time.

Good luck, Jon.

[jberryhill]

29. Christmas is ABOUT Jesus emerging from a woman's body

Just how do they think Jesus was born? By using a secret escape hatch?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

12. What a tangled web we weave...

Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League (divorced, by the way...) is also a adjunct scholar at (drum roll please) the Heritage Foundation and is on the board of directors of the National Association of Scholars, an organization opposed to multiculturalism and affirmative action, and dedicated to countering "liberal bias" in the media. major funding for the NAS comes from the Sarah Scaife Foundation, which the Center for American Progress indicates has funded groups and individuals which contribute to anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States.

In 2010 Donohue appeared on Larry King Live, where he blamed church's child sex abuse scandal on gay priests, and has had an extensive history of blaming the victim in gay bullying cases.

So yeah- this is the guy who's out to get Jon Stewart. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Heritage Foundation promised him a nice big donation if he can get Stewart off the air...

14. "What Jon Stewart did ranks with the most vulgar expression of hate speech ever aired on television"

Quote from the site...

Really? That's what this is?

[progressoid]

24. Now why wouldn't the Catholic League put that picture on their website?

Hmmmm

[rurallib]

15. Goddamnit Donohue, contact the atheist leaders too.

I think you can find a couple on the Daily Show.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Oh. The Catholic League.

Donahue is outraged about something every two days.

Anything special this time?

[Luminous Animal]

18. So they assert that God and the Catholic church don't care what a woman does with her

vagina?

[piratefish08]

21. the defender of child rapists said what? he condemned the raping children??

oh he didn't.

oh.

okay.



back to real news.

[JackRiddler]

22. Check it out, they put him in hell.

Now that's an offensive image.

[Bolo Boffin]

34. So they're getting website tips from the Phelpses? Nice... n/t

[crunch60]

26. I just sent a letter of support to steve at comedy central. Link below if you want to do the same

Contact Steve Albani, Senior VP Comedy Central Communications: [e-mail]

[jwirr]

27. The rw leaders in these churches should try to understand that they are doing their churches no

good by attacking someone for telling the truth. In the end their people know what is happening and leave. I did and found a church that was as liberal as I am. The Nuns are correct in their protests.

[nolabear]

28. Yes, we all know that Mary had no hoo-hah.

[Tom Ripley]

32. And Joseph had no clue.

[LadyHawkAZ]

35. Oh noez, Stewart's gonna be boycotted by

a whole 5 or 6 people who had never heard of him before today! He's gonna TANK!!

[physioex]

36. Dont get it...

Catholics working with Musilms?
