Egad. I sleep late one day and all sorts of silliness breaks out. 🙄
Bill Donohue has released the hounds against a blogger. He’s an Atheist. He wrote a rather “smart mouthed” post on his science Blog. Well, Donohue didn’t like it and issued an call to arms towards this guy to get him fired. Well, now, the blogger, PZ Myers, is appealing for help.
Okay, first of all, in case Mr. Donohue has forgotten, there is a thing in this country called freedom of speech, this is not Nazi Germany, nor Russia, But the United States of America, free speech is a right, given to us, by the First Amendment of the Construction of the United States of America.
The very idea, that a man, who supposedly represents the largest “so called” religious organization in the World, would attempt to repress free speech in America, is absolutely reprehensible.
In fact, here is the contact information at the Catholic League:
450 Seventh Avenue
New York, NY 10123
(212) 371-3191
Fax: (212) 371-3394
and here is the contact information of the archdiocese in New York, call them and file a complaint against Bill and his League:
Cardinal’s Office
1011 First Ave
New York, NY 10022
Contact: Edward Cardinal Egan
Phone: 212-371-1000
This isn’t about Religion, this is about the repression of free speech, religious organizations have NO RIGHT to control ANY sort of free speech at all.
By the way, here’s Bill Donohue’s new mug shot:
