I just read Michael Medved's autobiography Right Turns from start to finish. What an amazing guy. He used to be on the Left, then moved to the Right. First time he voted Republican was for Ronald Reagan. He met him along with David Horowitz of Frontpage.com fame in 1986. He points out that Hollywood which is filled with secular liberals both propagates negative stereotypes of Christianity while looking in dread at films with a positive depiction of Christian life like in Mel Gibson's The Passion. I think if Mel knew what it was really about, he would never have put himself through the grief. It was never about anti-semitism; the movie was a really a full-press body slam against non-judgmentalism and moral relativism. And since those are things liberals hold dear, its no surprise they ultimately reacted as they did.

I will not make this into a Jewish versus Christian/Catholic thang.
Hildy, my best friend here, is Jewish and she loves Christmas,
even attended church on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
