I would wager that if the movie had been about some murderer on death row, Cohen would not have found himself "at an emotional remove".

They're continuing the anti-semitic shtick after honoring one of Hitler's chief propagandists at the Oscars? Talk about chutzpah.

A hardened heart, more likely.

Maybe Mel should've had the soldiers kick a starving puppy or two.

But "fascist" is *such* a wonderfully volatile little "trigger word".
It's so useful when you have no real point to make.

Ideological ad hominem.

I hate this movie.

Coincidence?

Morons.

The shtick continues , but it doesn't seem to be having a negative effect now does it ? Anybody that could be swayed by this leftist pinko ponce wouldn't be moved by the flick anyway .

Event's written about a God in disguise as a man who was crucified because he loved the very ones who killed him.

I feel sorry for non Christians who don't get the message.

Richard Cohen should go back to shilling for the Clintons. In this article, he fails as both a film critic and theologian.

Richard Cohen is an agnostic of Jewish ancestry who hates Israel to boot. I don't think any faction in this debate really wants or needs him.

The funny thing liberals hold violence is okay if comes from the tender warm-hearted souls of Planned Parenthood, Jean Bertrand Aristide and Saddam Hussein.

And someday he'll return with -no- "disguise" and it'll be too late for them.
Anyone with a lick of sense would err on the side of caution, at the -very- least.

This reviewer reminds me of an older guy I had to work with at my job-- that I call a "Jewish atheist". He was born and raised in the Jewish tradition but he himself is not religious and is in fact a self-proclaimed atheist. So he has the ultra-sensitivity of someone with a religious chip on his shoulder but at the same time doesn't care anything for religion. He himself has a personal code that I can only describe as "amoral". Oh yeah, and he's from New York. Very confusing to me, being a Christian and not accustomed to Jewish people, much less "Jewish atheists".

I have a feeling there are a lot of people like that up there. And guess who they probably voted for?

Sorry, Cohen.....the Gibson Success Train has already left the station with a cargo of over a hundred-million clams.

Now be a good boy, go back to your barren cubicle, suck your thumb and have a good cry. You're so irrelevant.

From a NY Times editorialist who is so impulsively liberal, leftist, and socialist -- I am somehow not surprised by this comment. Richard Cohen doesn't like "Passion." Who cares?

This article is pretty funny. Cohen thinks he can snuff out the giant flame of success with his puny, little fingertips.

Ah yes, the true message of Christ's profound love and sacrifice is that I should engage in mindless violence. I'm glad this idiot leftist twit has set me straight. I feel better now... /barf

Maybe, strictly speaking, the movie cannot be called fascistic - but in the best sense, it cannot stop me from insinuating as much.
