Bill Maher Slammed For Controversial Tim Tebow Tweet
Posted on Dec 28, 2011 @ 08:00AM
Controversy is heating up about a tweet Bill Maher posted watching Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's awful performance during the team's 41-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills Saturday.
After Tebow was picked off by the Bills for the fourth time, the HBO host wrote to his more than 872,000 followers, "Wow, Jesus just f---ed #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler 'Hey, Buffalo's killing them.'”
The deeply-religious football star didn't acknowledge the tweet on his page, writing after the brutal loss, "Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB²." (GB² is Tebow's acronym for God Bless + Go Broncos.)

Maher, an avowed atheist, soon heard it from a barrage of upset Twitter users, as Fox News personality Eric Bolling called the comic "disgusting vile trash" for the message.
"I can't even repeat what he just tweeted about Tebow..on Christam Eve. #straighttohellBill," Bolling wrote.
In the wake of the tweet, a grassroots movement to have his HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher, cancelled has swelled on the social networking micro-blog.
Real Time with Bill Maher hits the air again January 13.

Just another example of the right trying to take away the freedoms of anyone who disagrees with them. Fortunately for Bill HBO is not ABC and does not depend on advertising dollars so their usual BS won't work.

Maher is not a comic...nothing he says has ever been funny, or will ever be funny. He's a poor excuse for the slithered up old slimey undeveloped form of life he represents.

As a Christian I do not think God cares who wins a football game. Having said that, Tim Tebow has my
respect for walking the talk and for being a role model for young people. Bill Maher is irrelevant.

Bill tells it how it is. When a doctor saves a person they call it a miracle. When people pray over someone and they die they call it God's will. Get real foks You special people all pray for world peace and see what your results are.

You REALLY have to wonder why he has such a deep hatred of Christianity.

Gee, could it perhaps be because most killing, hate, and lack of acceptance of others is hiding behind the 'love of God'? Religion is behind SO much hate and death. Simply NO tolerance!

Bill Maher is an embarrassment to humanity. Like most fuzzy headed Liberal-crats ( no media bias, I forgot), if it doesnt criticize morals, Republicans or the right to life, it just doesnt get aired/printed/played. Go Tebow.
