Pro-life action center HOPPING MAD at Denis Leary's war on Christmas

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The National Pro-Life Action Center (NPLAC)--the uncompromising voice of pro-life America on Capitol Hill--is outraged by Comedy Central's airing of and planned repeat showings of the patently offensive, Dennis Leary's "Merry F#%$in' Christmas." "With the airing of this so-called comedy show, another front has been opened on the war against the Christian faith and its holy observances," said Paul Chaim Schenck, director of NPLAC.

Among the more offensive comments in Leary's show is when he offers that the Christmas holiday is built on ". . . a bunch of bullsh**t," because he believes the real reason the Virgin Mary became pregnant with Jesus was because someone ". . . banged the hell out of his mom."

"Not only is Dennis Leary simply not funny on this show, but if such despicable statements were made about the venerated figures of any other major religion, it would be labeled hate-speech and never allowed to see the light of day," Schenck said. "But apparently, the management at Comedy Central believes this form of discrimination is still acceptable in 2005."

While NPLAC is a strong advocate of free speech and the intrinsic value of art, :rofl: be it in the form of comedy or other mediums, it also believes that the sacred nature of Christmas should not be so easily be dismissed or forgotten. "Christmas is the celebration of the Word made Flesh, the birth of the Christ. In a moment, Mary helped to forever change the world by submitting to God's will and choosing life," stated Stephen G. Peroutka, NPLAC chairman and a Maryland attorney. "This feast day is not only a fundamental mystery of the Church, but a profound example of faith and courage that is central to Christianity's belief in a true culture of life. To subject it to such public ridicule and debasement is the epitome of prejudice and intolerance."

NPLAC joins with Bill Donahue and the Catholic League in their request that Comedy Central cease to dishonor the Christmas season and the faith of millions of its viewers by removing this offensive production from its schedule. Currently, the show is scheduled to air on Dec. 17, Dec. 21, Dec. 24 and Dec. 25. "Truly adding insult to injury is the callous nature of this program's scheduling. To plan on airing such inflammatory material on the holy day itself is mockery at its worst," observed Peroutka. "We are urging our supporters and all Americans of good will to make their voices heard by demanding that Comedy Central remove this detestable show from their schedule."

3. ROTFLMAO. . .they can't make their minds up

if they can't stand the idea of "Holy-Days" yet the "sanctity" of their Christ-mas, with special rights sales in every retailer, national paid holiday status, must be honored by everyone, whether they are members of the crazed christo-fascists or not.

"dishonor the Christmas season". . .LOLOLOLOL. I think we know who is dishonoring the season - and the reason.

Just remember to tell every christo-fascist you know that you expect their sacred trees to be down on Dec. 26 - cuz New Year's Day belongs to the rest of us, and we don't want them interfering in our holy-day.

4. I would like to say

That man is hilarious.

[NVMojo]

31. I lurve him too! And NOW I really LURVE HIM!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

5. Well, see, you can't win with some people.

At least he didn't call it "Happy Fuckin' Holidays".

[SalmonChantedEvening]

6. Changing The Channel: An Overwhelming & Impossible

Concept to embrace.

Jeebus on a moped, these are some lazy Americans.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. I'm totally TIVO'ing that thing.

Thanks for the heads up, pro-life action dudes.

[kevinbgoode]

8. And I love this quote from the press release. . .

"Truly adding insult to injury is the callous nature of this program's scheduling. To plan on airing such inflammatory material on the holy day itself is mockery at its worst," observed Peroutka. "We are urging our supporters and all Americans of good will to make their voices heard by demanding that Comedy Central remove this detestable show from their schedule."

American Taliban censorship, anyone? They used the forbidden word "holy day!" I think I'll email them and admonish them about it.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Yep

First amendment! If these people don't like it too bad. They can air it!

[FreedomAngel82]

9. It's called COMEDY

Good grief. Don't like it? Don't watch it! What's funny to one person isn't funny to someone else. These people are getting ridiculous. Excuse me while I bang my head: :banghead:

[kevinbgoode]

17. I think we should write them....listen...

and remind them that they aren't honoring their "sacred" Holy-day if they are watching Comedy Central anyway. Baby Jesus expects them to watch the blue-haired lady show, the 700 Club, or Benny Hinn 24/7 until the sacred holy-day is over.

The Comedy Channel is for secularists. Stay out of our holy-day celebration.

[mcctatas]

11. Don't these stupid fuckwits have remote controls!!!!

Or do they just rely on prayer to change the channel? I think I should complain to the FCC because every time that proto-human Bill Donahue is on TV, I have to spend another 45 minutes in the shower trying to wash away the icky feeling he gives me:puke:

[kevinbgoode]

18. Every time I see him , I want to email his organization

and ask if it is anti-Catholic to wonder why they are even still considered a "church" after their neverending pedophile scandal.

[CatWoman]

19. you've GOT to see the Bush impersonation

it's under "Faves" :rofl:

29. Yeah, I'm far more partial to Bruce Mccullough.

[bammertheblue]

32. I've got a good buddy

[Warren DeMontague]

27. One question about that asshat:

WHY is the MD state police 'going undercover' with repeatedly-arrested members of organizations that have broken the law on numerous occasions... to infiltrate anti-Bush protest groups?

Does the MD state police use members of moveon.org to infiltrate anti-abortion groups? Or does that particular bias only work one way?

Memorable Moments . . . wedding to Melody Reece of Lakewood, California; knocking a few chunks off the Berlin Wall; rescuing unborn children from abortion in Poland; going undercover inside Refuse & Resist in cooperation with Maryland State Police, shark diving off the coast of the Dominican Republic; protesting in China; and playing catcher at the births of his children.

[AnnieBW]

21. It Was Hysterical!

We watched it a few nights ago on the Tivo. It was a SCREAM!!! If the Talibornagains object to "Merry F*&%ing Christmas", Gods help them if they watch "Rescue Me".

[bammertheblue]

23. no shit!

with Denis going in the bathroom to drink at his son's wake and seeing Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just generally seeing Jesus all over the place....they'd shit their pants!

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Whatever happened to not watching something that you don't like?

These people are acting like someone is strapping them into a chair with clothespins holding their eyes open, while the TV is turned to Comedy Central.

Why don't they honor this holiest of days by turning the fucking TV off?

I'm looking forward to watching and enjoying that show, and those assholes better not spoil it for me.:grr:

[Warren DeMontague]

28. And what the Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck does

any of it have to do with abortion?

[Swamp Rat]
