Robin Williams Defends Catholic Bashing

Asked yesterday by “Today” show host Meredith Vieira about his recent bigoted jokes concerning Catholic priests, Robin Williams expressed no remorse for labeling all Catholic priests as pedophiles. (He has acknowledged that he wouldn’t treat other religions the same way for fear of being blown up.) Williams defended his unfair stereotyping of priests saying, “It’s my job as a comic sometimes to keep going…it’s not like it [the sex abuse scandal] didn’t exist.” He added, “They [the Catholic League] should have been up in arms basically after the Children’s Crusade.”
