You’d think they’d learn.
The Oscars have always been a venue where celebs bash presidents, governments and endorse leftist candidates. But this year the Oscars hit a low even for Hollywood – allowing Bill Maher to bitterly bash religion. For personal reasons. This earns him the title of Celebutard of the Week, in keeping with my new book: “Celebutards: The Hollywood Hacks, Limousine Liberals and Pandering Politicians Who are Destroying America.” (Kensington).
Maher, who became infamous for applauding the suicide bombers after 9/11, took the stage at the Kodak Theater on Oscar night to present an award for Best Documentary, and bitterly noted that his movie, “Religulous,” was not nominated for a gold statuette.
Because the film stunk? No, Herr Maher said. Because it was too controversial.
Now as a producer and a star of my own documentary this year, the one about religion that didn’t get nominated. I know, it’s a touchy subject. But someday, we all have to confront the notion that our silly gods cost the world too greatly. But there I go, ruining the ending.
This is a man who previously called organized religion a form of mass insanity, and praised Michael Jackson for “servicing” little boys.
If his film were nominated for an Oscar, however, you know he’d thank God.
