When Krauthammer speaks, we take the time to listen."""

I stopped listening when he denounced Mel Gibson, The Passion - and by strong implication, Christianity.

I checked it out and I am in disagreement with the whole "Blood Libel" concept to begin with.

This ultimately casts any Christian as a walking, talking, breathing hate crime just for having knowledge of His name.

Sorry to see Krauthammer throwing in with this crowd.

In the end, I'll blame the French anyway.

Many people did not much like The Passion. I personally found it anti-semitic and frankly, just a bad movie. Schlocky. I would love to see a movie about Jesus that informed me about the man, and his life, but I didn't see that in The Passion.

In no way does not liking the movie make someone ipso facto anti-Christian, just as liking the movie does not make one an anti-semite.

I believe Mel Gibson also cynically exploited religious tensions to garner interest in his movie. And it worked.

The attacks at FR on Jewish conservatives who did not like the movie were appalling, but transparent.
