On Nov. 5.... the writer noted that "The Passion of the Christ" dwarfed the anti-Bush film "Fahrenheit 9/11" at the box office.

He could have also mentioned Kerry's huge mistake in downplaying The Passion of The Christ while millions of Christians were in its thrall.

With that commment, Kerry aligned himself with the Hollyweirdos whose hatred for The Passion of The Christ is unfathomable. So deep is the Christian-hating moguls aversion to the film about Christ that they intend to ignore the $650 million film at the Academy Awards.

Kerry unwittingly sent the message that he would strengthen Hollywarped's chokehold on American culture.

In the typically warped thinking of liberals, Hollywood firmly believes that 24/7 of sexually salacious and violent TV, movies and music they produce are not harming kids, and our culture.

OTOH, they also believe----with the religious fervor of Tammy Faye Baker---- that a single 15-sec commercial will compel tens of millions of Americans into thousands of stores to buy billions of dollars worth of soap, soup, breakfast cereal and cars. They can't have it both ways.

Har har har ...

I don't hate the Old Media ... I hold them in contempt.

Not the same thing ... Mr. Friedman might want to ponder the difference.

Man of the Year is the "Blogger". The men who fight for truth and accurancy around the world, see Dan Rather.

Statement: "Why Bush's America hates the media;..."

Response: Try treason, sedition, vice for starters. All of course, under the guise of fact, objectivity, rights, justice, fairness-in general all the big words are used to cover spiritual bankruptcy.(By 'spiritual' I do not mean the old time religion.)

Let them gallop over the cliff, the more they disparage the majority of the nation, the more that majority will vote.

Don't count on it!

The way that the media have been downplaying the role of the Swift Boat Vets in deciding this election is shameful, to say the least.

I doubt that they'll give them the credit they so rightfully deserve, considering the fact that John O'Neill et. al., played a great part in exposing the media for the lying shills that they are.

I think there's a real possibility they could make BLOGGERS the POY.

My dream cover, though, would be PERSONS OF THE YEAR:

"THE LIBERATORS"

GEORGE W. BUSH
JOHN HOWARD of Australia
& TONY BLAIR of Great Britain

Time's Person of the Year should be the American Christian. The American Christian made the Passion of the Christ one of the biggest movies of the year when every studio in Hollywood thought it would flop, re-elected President Bush and put Tom Coburn, Jim Demint, Richard Burr and David Vitter is the Senate.

I would add the outpouring for Reagan to that list, it sure befuddled the MSM.

On the Nov. 5 "O'Reilly Factor" program on Fox, viewers were asked "What influenced your vote?"
The answers offered:
Iraq?
Terrorism?
Economy?
Anti-Bush media?

What this Lefty cannot see is that no other network even recognizes that they are "Anti Bush" and would not have asked such honest choices.
