W.W.J.K.: WHO WOULD JESUS KILL? (For those who missed Ann latest article)

[Burkeman1]

Baiters? No one baited Frum, Krauthammer, Jacoby, Safire and others. They have insulted virtually every Christian other than Unitarians who can't even really be called Christian anyway. From their reviews they A) Showed a total lack of understanding of what the Passion even means to Christians much less that it is THE CENTRAL EVENT for most every sect Protestant to Chatholic! And B) the underlying assumption that Christians are knuckle dragging morons who are going to start murdering Jews and hunting them down after the viewing of such a film that defines what we believe is quite frankly too much to bear.

My fear is not that this film will cause anti semitism. It is the ignorant, arrogant, and sickening slander on the part of a thin slice of Jewish Americans that will.

[Burkeman1]

Most Jews could care less about this movie and don't think it a problem. Many have courageously defended it as your thread shows. I think our media culture just craves controversey.

re: James Caroll

It always amazes me how many "religious" like Caroll (the Berrigans, et alia) have given up the Church, but cannot let go of the magisterium.

They have abandoned the truth, and transformed their authority into a shrill and bitter arrogance.

[Burkeman1]

I take it that you then read his review of this film? It was the worst by far because it was written by someone who obviously is well aware of traditional Catholic theology unlike many of the Jewish or non religious critics. I can't fathom how he could write such a review? His hatreds are deep. In fact- If you read between the lines it is Carroll whom I suspect has a problem with the "Jews" rather than Gibson.

This is from Michael Medved's appearance on the 700 club recently. He basically said the same thing you are saying.

ROBERTSON: You said this movie is like a speeding freight train coming down the track with its headlights on, and they are standing up there with a little stop sign. Why? It makes no sense.

MEDVED: I’ll tell you what part of it is, Pat. You and I very well know that there has been an increasingly strong coalition between committed Jews and committed Christians, to defend the United States, to defend the values that we care about, to defend the traditional family, and to defend Israel. And there are people in this country, particularly on the Left, who don't like that, who are very suspicious of it. And so this has been used, it seems to me in a very political way, by certain people on the Left to try to drive Jews and Christians apart. And it is our job, particularly those of us in the Jewish community, to not allow that to happen. This movie is an affirmation of Christian faith, and I am one of those Jews who believes that the more Christian America there is, the better it is for America, and the better it is for America’s Jews, and for Jews around the world.

Did you read this interview with the gay "reverend", Mark Stanger, from San Francisco about Mel Gibson's movie? Dripping with hate toward Christianity, Christians, Mel Gibson, and the movie. The interview was done before the movie's wide release.

Here's one of the unintentional humorous quotes from the interview:

"And I don’t think it’s going to make money"

I am not even angered over that. I just feel sorry for him and anyone who would bother to listen to him.

In strict accordance with the FreeRepublic by laws,
paragraph 4, section 7, stating that, and I quote:
"any mention of our beloved Ann Coulter
must include her image", I offer the following
pictures for your exclusive viewing pleasure.

Carville really IS gollum.

[beaversmom]

Did you see Mary Matlin on Miller last night? She said Carville is an acquired taste.

[beaversmom]

Well, I wasn't angered either but it was a real eye opener for me. I know leftists and anti-Christians exist in all walks of life but I had never read the unexpurgated thoughts of one that is a Christian reverend.

[Burkeman1]

The Unitarians say they are "Christian" and it is a joke. So is this guy. The most conservative Pre Vatican II believer in Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre Catholic has more in common with a Appalachian Pentacostal Christian than we do with such posers and liars.

I guess the muslims are counting on the Jesus "freaks" to turn the other cheek and forgive their trespasses.

re: Baiters? No one baited Frum, Krauthammer, Jacoby, Safire and others.)))

Frum at NRO? The one who's in Bush's ill favor because he used his tenure in the WH to get a book published?

I hadn't read what he wrote--can you direct me to it? I also didn't know about Jacoby. Did you read Charen's piece?
