It is the way it was!

[Choose Ye This Day]

Wow. Just wow. Ann nails them, again, for their cluelessness.

Now, please, Ann, have a steak or a pastry or something.

[Rummyfan]

Ann Coulter Bump!!!

I was looking forward to Ann throwing her hat into the Passion fray. She didn't disappoint :) She almost never does. *applauds*

She is priceless.

You don't need a religion like Christianity, which is a rather large and complex endeavor, in order to flag that message. All you need is a moron driving around in a Volvo with a bumper sticker that says "be nice to people." Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of "kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed"). But to call it the "message" of Jesus requires ... well, the brain of Maureen Dowd.

I love this woman!

Need to read later (no....I'm not bookmarking the picture).

[anniegetyourgun]

Sure...that's what they all say....

[anniegetyourgun]

"But the loony-left is testy with Gibson for spending so much time on Jesus' suffering and death while giving "short shrift to Jesus' ministry and ideas"...

As if most libs could accurately articulate His ideas and ministry.

[Rummyfan]

And this one too:

In fact, Jesus' distinctive message was: People are sinful and need to be redeemed, and this is your lucky day because I'm here to redeem you even though you don't deserve it, and I have to get the crap kicked out of me to do it. That is the reason He is called "Christ the Redeemer" rather than "Christ the Moron Driving Around in a Volvo With a 'Be Nice to People' Bumper Sticker on It."

[KriegerGeist]

Times columnists repeatedly extolled "the great majority of peaceful Muslims." Only a religion with millions of practitioners trying to kill Americans and Jews is axiomatically described as "peaceful" by liberals.

It's funny how the liberals love to defend Islam as peaceful, but Christianity as anti-Semitic and that watching a movie about what we have read about in our Bibles for centuries makes us more dangerous or to be feared than Muslims...

Perhaps when Christians start flying planes into Mecca during Ramadan or the Haj or into the Dome of the Rock, then the liberals can call Christianity "a religion of peace"

[Zeppo]

Wow, Ann knocked this one out of the ballpark...

[ServesURight]

MARRY ME ANN! PLEASE....

[garbanzo]

watching a movie about what we have read about in our Bibles for centuries makes us more dangerous or to be feared than Muslims...

If nothing about the bizarre furor over this movie irks me more, it's the notion that old Baptist ladies are somehow going to run out theaters and torch the nearest synagogue they can find - it's the idea that modern American audiences are no different than the illiterate medieval peasants who got worked up over passion plays.

[Gritty]

That is the reason He is called "Christ the Redeemer" rather than "Christ the Moron Driving Around in a Volvo With a 'Be Nice to People' Bumper Sticker on It."

Ann skewering the Usual Suspects....

[perfect stranger]

I'm not Ann.

In the dozens and dozens of panic-stricken articles the New York Times has run on Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion of the Christ," the unavoidable conclusion is that liberals haven't the vaguest idea what Christianity is.

This is THE bottom line. The critics have not a clue about Christians or the New Testament, or the Season of Lent, The Passion, etc. To churchgoers this 'story' is relived every Spring. Mel Gibson chose to illustrate the story using the medium in which he is an artist. The lack of awareness of the 'elite' is really getting exposed as 'ordinary' Americans show that they have a much greater understanding of Christ's message than the 'big' media.

A must read from Ann Coulter.

I maybe crazy (I have the cats that could prove it) but Mel made this film with the message that we are all responsible for the death of Christ. I think some Jewish people look at the film and read the message they are responsible (AND total miss WE ALL ARE PART) for the death of Christ and then they start screaming.... We are being picked on again.

I can see a musical play written about the making of The Passion where that ADL guy sings and dancing to a song titled "It's all about Me".
