"Hell's Box Office?" (Pelosi's daughter attempt to make fun of Christians)
Michelle Malkin ^ | 1/25/06 | Michelle Malkin

Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra, is getting a lot of attention for her documentary about evangelical Christians, which airs tonight in less than an hour on HBO. Allah has video of her appearance last night on Hannity and Colmes here. She joked that evangelicals refer to HBO as "Hell's Box Office"--a sound-bite-friendly gag line that she has repeated numerous times in media interviews. Indeed, a Google search for the phrase "Hell's Box Office" turns up some 200 entries--the vast majority of them from news articles about Pelosi's film.

Her docudrama on Bush kind of backfired. She ended up liking him.

But with this, she's a coward. Make fun of Muslims, Alexandra. Mock the tenants of Islam. Do a re-enactment of Mohammed's life.

Theo van Gogh did. That's artistic bravery.

Considering her mother's party is trying to re-cast themselves as "religion friendly", this seems a little counter-productive, don't you think?

Other than Phelps, I, too cannot think of another 'militant' but I don't necessarily consider his type as Christians. (Too much Hate)
Those that "get in your face" are also very few.
Give an example of 'militant' that BOR is referring to..
Somebody? Anybody?

My previous SBC Pastor (originally from Mississippi), has been calling HBO that name for years, from the pulpit.

It's interesting which members of the unwashed for whom guilty rich liberals feel an affinity.

If the Dems win the White House, count on them to start taxing churches.

Every liberal I know shares that belief!

She isn't all that bad looking, she just doesn't do anything special to be more attractive. She had a sense of humor and was a good sport. Other than that...

"count on them to start taxing churches."

Doubtful, as they have been waging a campaign to seduce the "Christian" Left for the past 2 years. Of course, if they win the WH in '08, they might drop them fast too, I guess.

O'Reilly considers himself a Christian but he doesn't really have a clue as to what a true Christian is. He's very liberal about social values in many cases, especially homosexuality.

"ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. This is WAR."

And O'Reilly is a Catholic Culture Warrior. So he must be a militant too. ;)

I've noticed that he always puts down born again Christians who stand for something or against something like homosexuality. He's homo friendly and he criticizes Christians who aren't. Extremely annoying.

Good one! So he must. We all have our battles, don't we?

Isn't it strange that Pelosi portrays herself and her family as devout Roman Catholics yet she opposes every position of her church with respect to abortion,gay marriage, partial birth abortion,gay adoption and a host of other moral issues. She should be excommunicated from the church because of her views.

Don't know if anybody watched this last night, but Alexandra Pelosi's documentary attempted to cast evangelical Christians in a very negative light.

It's easy through the power of editing to make people look bad, or at the very least worse than they are. The trick is to not make it easier for people to make you look bad. Everything Pelosi edited together was real - if she found some kooks and recorded them, that's just a bitter pill for those sympathetic to swallow.

The question is just how representative are these fringy types of the overall Evangelical movement? The answer is probably not much, but that's not to say that the movement doesn't have its share of embarrassing cousins.
