Bill Donohue's "Gook Joke" [VIDEO]
The Catholic League's Bill Donohue is typical. Just your garden variety angry blowhard who spies hatred at every turn. He'd be someone to pity were he not able to actually function as a commentator in the media. Were he not able to inspire a NY Times article attacking low-level staffers, causing them to eventually quit from the hatred and anger he unleashed.
Well, if his Jews control Hollywood crap doesn't sink his reputation as a legitimate commentator -- as a legitimate anything -- the embarrassingly sad confrontation in the video to the right should do the trick.
A bit of background. In a comedy bit at halftime of a Columbia U. football game, Andy Hao joked that "'Fordham tuition [is] going down like an altar boy." This was newsy at the time due to the rampant sexual abuse and cover up in the Catholic Church.
Donohue, who has a history of forgiving bigots so long as they're rightwingers, took offense and launched into the pathetic analogy that a joke at the expense of someone's BEHAVIOR is somehow equal to a racial slur.
If I'm a Catholic, I'm getting as far from this nutball as possible...
**HUGE Hat Tip to Media Matters, and Justin Cole in particular, for finding this footage.
