TORONTO - Comedian Bill Maher says he's not normally the type to make political donations.
But he says he was so moved by the words of Republican vice-presidential running mate Sarah Palin that he immediately cut a cheque -- for her opponents.
Maher, who is in Toronto to support his new film "Religulous" at the Toronto International Film Festival, has based a career on political humour and eagerly ripped into Palin when the topic was put before him.
He says she is scary and will send Barack Obama whatever he needs to keep her out of the White House.
Palin is a staunch Christian who has said, among other things, that the Iraq war is "a task from God."
"Religulous" documents Maher's travels around the world as he confronts Christians, Muslims and Jews about their faith.
The film's underlying argument is that religion needs to be abolished before faith leads to the destruction of humanity.
"Religulous" opens in theatres on October 3rd.
