Penn Jillette has displayed his 'artistic freedom' one too many times.. After admitting that he is a non-believer, and basically insulting those who are, he recently, on his syndicated radio show, called Mother Teresa a fraud, a sexual deviate, and commented that Paris Hilton is a more moral person than Mother Teresa.
Hey Penn.. enough is enough. Magician or not.. you have now officially worn out your welcome. Being a magician does not give you the right to trample on men and women that others around the world consider a saint. I am not a Catholic, but I defend the rights of Catholics everywhere to establish religious icons. And although you do not have to honor those icons, you would be well served to respect the good folks who DO honor Saints..
With all the true sexual deviates and perverts in this world.. lets pick a REAL one and discuss them on your radio show..
KIFR radio got it totally backwards. IF anyone was to be kicked from the airwaves, It's you.. Penn Jillette.. who should have been shown the way out the door. So says I..

Talk show host John London was fired by KIFR/San Francisco "Free FM" over the weekend after offering $5,000 to have comedian Penn Jillette killed. London, his producer Dennis Cruz and sports reporter Chris Townsend were all fired by the CBS Radio station over the weekend.
London, commenting on statements by magician Penn Jillette, said his offer was an "obviously sarcastic" response to a radio show that Jillette did attacking Mother Teresa and calling her a fraud, according to the Mercury News.
London extended the offer on Jillette after Jillette did a bit on his syndicated program last week claiming that Mother Teresa had set up refuges for dying people for her own "sexual kink" and "sexual kicks."
He also put Paris Hilton, rumored to be set to play the saintly nun on a tv special, on a higher pedestal than Mother Teresa.
London's show followed Jillette's program on the air, and he reportedly spent two hours raging about Jillette's show. On Thursday, he offered "5,000 dollars to the person that kills Penn Jillette. If he suffers, I'll make it $7,000," according to the Mercury News.
London told the San Francisco newspaper that the bit was a satirical response to Jillette's attack. "I was sickened by it,'' he said. "What he said wasn't satire. He raped her morally, when she couldn't respond."
London also commented that he was told that Jillette received death threats as a result of the broadcast, but added that such threats would be expected after what he said about Mother Teresa.

Are you actually familiar with the "work" of Mother Theresa. Don't believe Penn and don't believe the hype that she was a saint. She was an evil selfish person who collected milloins, let people suffer in squalor while she went to Mayo clinic.
Do you own research.
Actually.. I did my own research. And all I could find was two pathetic Indians that seemed to want to make a career out of writing derogatory things about Mother Theresa. Oh, and there was also 'one' nun, out of hundreds.
Mother Theresa did exactly what she was suppose to do, despite the politics of the church - She gave the donations to the Catholic church. It was never her 'place' to keep the money or decide exactly where the money was to go.
And it was not her will to go to the Mayo Clinic, it was decreed by Rome that it was their wish for her to go to the states.
I certainly can't find fault, despite the funds she did control, with someone who spent much of their adult life working, living, and sleeping among the poor sick souls of India..
