Character assassination? No, character suicide

[haggholm]

Bill Donohue is the President of the U.S. Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and one of the noisier Christians in the current wave of theist/atheist debates—notably he took great offence when a biology professor used some of his own spare time to post a compromising picture of an anthropomorphised cracker on his personal blog, and suggested that this was grounds for the university to fire him.

Bill Donohue, in other words, is effectively a spokesman for an organisation which he presumably considers a great force of moral good in the world. As such, it is not entirely irrelevant to consider the man’s own personal character. Since my words would clearly be dripping with negative bias, I suggest that if you harbour any respect for the man, listen to him in a radio interview and you will soon be disabused of the notion that he deserves it.
