| Turner Calls Catholics ‘Jesus Freaks’ Ted Turner, who in the past has managed to insult Christians, Poles, blacks and women, among others, called Catholic employees at a CNN gathering "Jesus freaks," according to Fox News and the New York Post, which is owned by the network. The occasion was a meeting in the Washington newsroom prior to a party for departing broadcaster Bernard Shaw, which took place on Ash Wednesday. Turner, who is co-founder of the news network, took notice of a few foreheads smudged with ash, according to the report. “I was looking at this woman and I was trying to figure out what was on her forehead,” he reportedly said. “At first I thought you were in the [Seattle] earthquake. I realized you’re just Jesus freaks.” ‘As Dumb As John Rocker’ Why would you support Ted Turner? Why would I see this Movie? Because it is good? |

NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (UPI) _ President Clinton (Monday) praised CNN founder Ted Turner as a ``truly visionary American for his remarkable donation'' of $1 billion to strengthen U.N. humanitarian institutions. He also told the U.N. General Assembly he hoped others would follow Turner's gesture.
I found it refreshing that a mainstream movie embraced strong leadership founded in Christian faith.
It was good to see strong Christian men protrayed favorably. If Turner is anti-Christian, atheist, etc....he didn't show that in the movie.
