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.

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.

Cohen is so transparent. He writes it took him days to figure out the film was "fascistic."

I guess Cohen just happened to "coin the phrase just as the grosses started rolling in, and the film skyrocketed to the top of the box office, a blockbuster hit.

The original plan, as we all recall, was to make the film fail by slapping it with an anti-Semitic label. That plan backfired miserably. Poor Abe Foxman of the ADL had to eat his words.
