Today Show/NewsBusters ping.

From those of us who said protesting this stupid, hateful movie would do no good and only add to the publicity...

WE TOLD YOU SO!

[Shimmer128]

"Again, try to imagine a movie that, in the same way, treated Mohammed as a hoaxster and Islam as a murderous fraud of a religion."

But that would be NON-FICTION and this is complete fiction.

[CheyennePress]

Opie gone rotten.

[Disturbin]

"Howard let us know that "I feel that kind of engagement is a healthy thing." Thanks for sharing, Ron."

Go away, Opie, and take your anti-Catholic rubbish with you. Other than that, I have no strong feelings on the matter!

The Divinci Code is FICTION....FICTION.....NOT BASED ON FACT.... Just keep repeating that.

The Media is promoting Fiction as truth. Why, you might ask, to make money. The more hype, the more that will attend.

[Always Right]

And compare that to how the MSM treated 'The Passion'. All the media could talk about is whether that film will envolk hatred towards Jews and whether it should be edited. Not much was said about how much buzz there was about the firm in the Christian community. Of course, the media talking to real Christians is like going to a war zone. The media just doesn't do it unless they think they can smear them.

Not uncommon in the MSM is it?

I disagree, it has little to do with money. It is just most in the media love to bash Christians. Most people in media are not about the money, it is about the agenda.

[AmericanMade1776]

Not really.... Media follows Goebbels teachings...
Goebbels said that "If the lie is big enough and told often enough, it will be believed."

[AmericanMade1776]

Michael Moore mislead in his documentary, that tried to destroy President Bush, and the French Believed it.

[thirst4truth]

And the movies website, "sogreattheconofman" is disgusting. Once again the unbelievers/liberals accusing the Christians of what they themselves are guilty of.

[Pharmboy]

Great point.

[Paloma_55]

The Media is promoting Fiction as truth.

Up is down.

Right is wrong.

Wrong is right.

Lemme summarize the world as we know it today.

- Islam is a religion of peace
- Christianity is a religion of hatred
- Mexicans illegally entering our country are victims
- The cure for Mexican Govt corruption is to take their people
- There were no WMD in Iraq
- Ted Kennedy is a statesman
- Hillary Clinton is happily married
- Republicans are for fiscal discipline

"The Divinci Code is FICTION....FICTION.....NOT BASED ON FACT.... Just keep repeating that."

At one of the facilities I visit, the receptionist is shocked that Catholics have believed lies for centuries.

"...And it says right here, at the beginning of the book that this is all true!"

Yeah, fiction for some becomes absolute truth for all too many others.

[CWW]

There was an excellent show on the National Geographic Channel last night that not only debunked the entire Divinci Code theory of Christ's bloodline leading to French royalty, but is specifically demonstrated that the entire Prior of Sidon (Christ's family tree) matter was a hoax perpetrated in the mid-1950's that the author even admitted under oath was a complete fabrication.

"Go away, Opie, and take your anti-Catholic rubbish with you. Other than that, I have no strong feelings on the matter!

And anti-Christian

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'd appreciate it if someone would bump this thread to any Catholic ping lists.

[FixitGuy]

Can't believe any sane person would go to see this revolting POS, fiction or not!
