Imagine a play where conservatives invite a far-left wing activist to dinner, only to kill him or her afterward. Would such a play get rave reviews, or would it be shown as an instance of conservatives and Tea Partiers inciting violence? Most of us know the answer to that question.
But such a play is making the rounds in Madison, Wisconsin. Except the killers aren't crazed gun-toting Tea Party activists, they're liberal students, and the victims are conservatives.
The Last Supper, a production of the Mercury Players Theatre, is set to run through Feb 12 in Madison, and the performance has sparked considerable controversy.
According to a Jan 22 article at The Daily Page:
Five lefty graduate students in Iowa City gather for weekly dinners to revel in their shared (and sometimes smug) world view. The first dinner we witness ignites a surprising shared mission when one of the students invites the truck driver who offered him roadside assistance to join them. This young man, a patriotic Desert Storm vet, first startles the group when he insists on saying grace before the vegan meal and then goes on to praise Hitler, alarming and repulsing the other dinners. Threats and violence ensue, and one of the hosts stabs him.
As he lies bleeding on an area rug, the quintet, after some debate and initial hand-wringing, decide that they have done society a favor by eliminating him and silencing his dangerous words. They also decide that since participating in protests and sit-ins has been a futile way to fight the power, this new dinner party/murder method may be a more effective technique in coping with right-wing adversaries.
According to another article at The Daily Page, Artistic Director Rachel Jenkins-Bledsoe said:

Good find. Not that unusual, though. I used to know a leftist Greenie aspiring novelist. His work-in-progress involved a protagonist who plotted and executed a plan to kill hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. This ended up making the protagonist a hero, because he’d done more than any other single green activist to save Mother Earth. This is just how they think. It’s what happens when they abandon God, and replace Him with leftist ideology.
Since then, it has played in Melbourne, Chicago, Perth, Oslo, New York, Buenos Aires and Mar de Plata, Argentina where it won Best Play 2009, according to the Daily Page.
Didn't the shooting by the wacked-out leftist in Tuscon occur last month? You know, january 2011?
Yet, AFTER that shooting, this ridiculous 'production' toured the world and won "Best Play of 2009"
WTF?
There was a movie like this.
Did you know that?
They first create a ridiculously false caricature of conservatives: pro-Hitler. They then use this straw man to justify their horrible crime. Leftism is lies. It is based on lies, proceeds with lies and ends up at more lies.
Madison is as close to Moscow as we come in this country.,..other than Badger sports, nothing good comes out of Madison....they are a pathetic city of socialist malcontents
It opened in Madison two weeks after the shootings, but it’s been around a while.
right. Hitler was never right wing
And what mainstream or even semi-mainstream Christian has ever praised Hitler? Yet it is a meme so deeply embedded in leftists’ minds that it surfaces relentlessly in their ‘art’. As someone said earlier in the thread, liberalism is lies. Can’t be repeated often enough.
No, offense, Mr. Holtz, but I already KNOW how devastating cold-blooded murder is for the victims and the victims' families without being preached to by some lame play. And I don't CARE how 'devastating' their murderous acts might be for any spoiled, rich, elitist, leftist perpetrators; even if they ARE 'turning corners'.
On second thought, forget the "no offense" and f--- off.
Let us do it.
Lets start a play where a Stalin lover is killed and the group decides it was a favor to humanity.
So they off an Animal rights moron who thinks the human race to be killed off.
Then an abortionist
A gay pedophile
Then an Islamic terrorist
Let us see if the left would complain.
nothing new—from Paul McCartney’s Junior’s Farm:
At the houses of Parliament
Ev’rybody’s talking ‘bout the President (Nixon)
We all chipped in for a bag of cement (cement overshoes)
The ridiculously false characterization of the Hitler-loving conservative is contrasted with the absolutely dead-on characterization of the Stalin-loving liberals. In the end of the play, they do to the conservative what Stalin did to his Nazi nemeses, and really to anyone who opposed him. They may not call themselves Stalinists, but they sure know how to play the part.
Hitler was anti-Christian. He called it a Gutter Religion and wanted to replace it with something else.
I guess they aren’t down with the new civility.
Okay, but the quote I posted is direct from the article and is in the same sequential order as in the article.
“other than Badger sports, nothing good comes out of Madison....”
This Hoosier grad with a Boilermaker son would strongly disagree.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Hitler into the Occult? Many high ranking Nazis were, iirc.
I think the author spotted it too, cause he’s corrected it since.
