Donohue Says No Institution 'Has Less Of A Problem' With Sexual Abuse Than The Catholic Church

Right Wing Watch reports on the extreme rhetoric and activities of key right-wing figures and organizations by showing their views in their own words. In this video, Bill Donohue says Pope Francis doesn't have to address the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church because the Church doesn't have a crisis.

Beautiful Response To An Ugly Offer From a Known Bigot

"The Catholic League's Bill Donohue, pit bull of the Catholic Church in America and a man who now seems completely out of touch with his own pope, is furious that Guinness beer opted for diversity rather than bigotry when the company decided to pull out as a sponsor of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City this year. Donohue has now called for a Catholic boycott of Guinness beer (we'll get to that in a minute), and yesterday he also applied to the NYC Pride march committee to march this June in the parade under a banner that reads, "Straight Is Great," and the committee has agreed to let him march. I say: Bring it on! Let's let Bill Donohue march in the parade and show that we are better than those troglodytes who run the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York, increasingly out of touch with the world. Of course, the Pride parade is about LGBT pride, so perhaps Donohue has to tweak that banner a bit to say, "Straights Who Support Gays Are Great," or "Catholics Who Support Gays Are Great." After all, the LGBT people who want to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade don't want to march under a banner that says, "Gay Is Great." They want to celebrate Irish pride and being gay and would more likely have a banner that says, "Irish, Gay and Proud.""* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Anti-Gay Plan Backfires On Catholic League President

*Catholic League President Bill Donohue claimed he was forced to back out of his plan to participate in the New York City LGBT Pride parade because the event's organizers wanted to force him into "gay training." "Today, I informed Heritage of Pride officials that I objected to their rule requiring me to attend gay training sessions, or what they call 'information' sessions," Donohue was quoted as saying on Friday. "'I don't agree with your rule,' I said. They responded by saying that attendance was 'mandatory.'" As The New Civil Rights Movement reported, what Donohue is actually complaining about is a safety orientation meeting that is required for the heads of every organization taking part in the June 2 event...*

Atheists Insulted On Fox News Religion Panel

"It's Thursday on Fox's The Real Story, so you know what that means: Time to bust out the jokey "an atheist, a Jew, and a Christian walk into a bar Fox" lede graf. This time, Gretchen Carlson's religion panel went head-to-head-to-head over an organization's billboard declaring there to be no afterlife. The billboard in question, sponsored by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, reads: "Enjoy Life Now. There Is No Afterlife." American Atheists president David Silverman unequivocally praised the message as "the truth" and one that encourages people to pass a "good legacy" onto their children. "Take care of your fellow man because God is not going to do it," he added. In return, Catholic League president Bill Donohue took the opportunity to stab at Silverman's brainpower...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
