Maher Attacks Religion and Sarah on The View (VIDEOs)

Cross-posted from the Palin Lipstick Brigade

Yesterday on the View, Bill Maher was on to promote his new movie, Religulous, but it became very quickly apparent that he was there for more than just that. Joy asked him if he wanted to “start,” and the conversation (read = attack) immediately started in on religion with Sherry and Elisabeth about Christianity and their beliefs. He called religion an “opinion,” and even said that the reason America is extremely religious is because we are “young and dumb” as a nation.

Justin McCarthy over at Newsbusters has a great piece on this, along with relevant portions of the transcript. Here’s just part of it, but I urge you to go to Justin’s piece to read the whole thing.

MAHER: Let me tell you, this Repu- this Republican party is so cynical, this is the third time in 20 years, Bush, Quayle, and now Palin, they have nominated a complete bimbo, which is a man or a woman.

SHEPHERD: Wow.

HASSELBECK: You say that in case-

MAHER: They have bimbos, like Dan Quayle I remember in the debate, that asked him something like, I forget what the issue was, but it was like “what would you do if it was nuclear” or something catastrophic. And he of course, started to crap himself and had that look in his eye. And he went “well, first I would say a prayer.” Yeah, that’s right, talk to your imaginary friend while the world is full of death, because that would really effectively do something.

HASSELBECK: You said before that George Bush is a religious fanatic like Osama Bin Laden. Equating the two I think is strange. But why do you feel this way just because he believes in God or because he, he does pray?

MAHER: Well, it affects his foreign policy. He says that.

HASSELBECK: But what about John F. Kennedy do you feel the same way about him because he’s said, you know I have right here, asking his blessing and his help here on Earth, God’s work must truly be our own, FDR used similar comments, Lincoln-

MAHER: Of course, it’s, it’s a religious country, unlike every other civilized western democracy in the world, this country is still extremely religious because we’re young and dumb.

Could this man be possibly a bigger douche than he is already?
