*American Life League to Protest Bill Maher?s appearance at DAR 
Constitution Hall*

*WASHINGTON, D.C. (20 May 2008)* ? American Life League is organizing a 
protest against Maher?s appearance at the Daughters of the American 
Revolution Constitution Hall next Thursday, continuing its call for HBO 
to fire Bill Maher for his slanderous attacks on Pope Benedict XVI and 
the Catholic Church.

?There is a massive double standard in the media about what is 
acceptable and what is unacceptable speech,? said Judie Brown, president 
of American Life League. ?When Don Imus jokes about race, he?s fired for 
being a racist and a bigot. When Bill Maher slanders the Pope and the 
entire Catholic Church, he?s exonerated for merely making a joke. The 
real joke is media integrity.?

On his April 11 show, Maher called Pope Benedict XVI a former Nazi and 
the leader of a pedophile cult. The following week, he continued his 
assault on the pope and the Catholic Church.  In response, American Life 
League created a petition website, www.FireBillMaher.com 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=43333&N=237&L=602&F=H>, 
calling on HBO to fire Maher for his comments.

  ?Thousands of people have expressed their outrage at Maher?s comments
  and canceled their HBO subscriptions,? said Brown. ?When we show up at
  DAR Constitution Hall to protest Maher?s appearance, we will make it
  clear to Time-Warner that 70 million Catholics in this country are
  offended and for that Maher must be fired!?

American Life League was co-founded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death. For more information or press 
inquiries, please contact Michael Hichborn at 540.659.4171.
