Maher presenting $1 million to Obama's Priorities USA super PAC

Nice friends you have there, Barack.

Via WaPo:

Talk show host Bill Maher, a major financial supporter of President Obama’s reelection, referred to Mormonism as a “cult” on Monday.

Mitt Romney’s only foreign policy experience, Maher quipped via Twitter, was “trying to brow-beat Frenchmen into joining his cult” — a reference to the former Massachusetts governor’s time as a Mormon missionary in France.

Obama senior strategist David Axelrod told CNN on Sunday that Romney’s faith was “not fair game” and that the campaign “absolutely” repudiates any effort to inject religion into the race.

Maher is a comedian, not a political actor. He’s insulted Democrats and defended Rush Limbaugh. But Maher gave a hefty $1 million to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC backing Obama, and that connection has caused the president’s campaign some consternation.
