You know, the liberals really are going crazy. I have no other explanation for these rants about a movie about Jesus, or their boiling hot hatred of the President, or their mocking of marriage, or...

I could list a hundred things over the last year or so. They have just gone flat-out nuts.

[Brasil]

I'm reading the Hirsen book and funny thing!! I haven't zeroed in on any anti-semitism. The liberals are desperate to paint conservatives as intolerant as they are.

[freebilly]

Frank Rich's quarrel is not with Gibson. His quarrel is really with the Book of John. Maybe he should file a lawsuit to have the Gospels removed from the Bible. Better yet, Jesus should be handed over to the Romans for crucifixion by a group of white male, right-wing conservative Christians....

[The Iguana]

"Indeed, it's hard to imagine the movie being anything other than a flop in America, given that it has no major Hollywood stars and that its dialogue is in Aramaic and Latin (possibly without benefit of subtitles).

Mr. Rich might wind up being very, very surprised.

There may not be many church-going folks where he lives and works, but out in Flyover Country many churches may end up making mass field trips to see the movie - repeatedly.

This isn't just any subtitled movie.

Its real tinderbox effect could be abroad, where anti-Semitism has metastasized since Sept. 11, and where Gibson is arguably more of an icon (as his production company is named) than he is at home."

I don't see why.

Muslims aren't likely to see this movie.

And that's where overseas anti-semitism has "metastasized."

[Fighting Irish]

Frank, just shut up! No one cares what you think, say or do.

[John Lenin]

His tirade against Hirsen is further buttressed, Rich says by more evidence of Hirsen's anti-Semitism, "because he makes a fetish of repeating Bob Dylan's original name, Robert Zimmerman

Oh my god, call the ADL. Dylan is Jewish, who'd a thunk it?

[goodnesswins]

There are three certain things about life....death, taxes....and when a Dem attacks someone about what they do or say....they are speaking of what they themselves DO AND SAY. (Who are the most racist, intolerant? Dems)

[Paul Atreides]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the left, just a few years ago, who were celebrating a movie bio of Larry Flynt (a man who has dedicated his life to degrading women)? Weren't they championing him as the very essence of freedom of speech? Weren't they saying, regardless of whether we like him, he is a hero?

I also seem to recall a little black comedy called "Last Supper," in which some liberals get together to kill off a group of conservatives, one by one.

I guess outrage is a selective thing.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Rich is mainly disturbed that the Anti-Defamation League's Abe Foxman was denied an invitation to any of the screenings, not surprisingly a result of his harsh criticism of a film he has not seen.

And that is true for Rich and other critics who attack a film they haven't seen but imagine what it contains.

Like other critics, Rich latches onto a report issued by a panel of nine Jewish and Roman Catholic "scholars" who read a stolen script and attacked the film."

Well, there are people who are "disturbed" that Jesus lives. There are people that are "disturbed" by the contents of the Bible. There are people who are "disturbed' by the 10 Commandments. There are people who are "disturbed" that followers of Christ, Christians exist in this world... and so it goes.

"NY Times' Frank Rich Blasts Mel Gibson, Drudge, NewsMax's Jim Hirsen"

I'm hurt. The bitch didn't include FreeRepublic.

[SkyPilot]

We must be living in the Last Days.

[kstewskis]

I am getting so sick of the liberal New York WHINES.

Their incoherent tantrums are really getting to be a bore.

[DB]

Evil hates truth.

Truth exposes evil for what it is.

Great job Mel!

[rockfish59]

Rich should work for Rich!

Warning! A bit of cussing here! =^)

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Good find, joobers! Calling Gibson an anti-semite? Rich? Rich practically ran off a cliff to save anti-semite, Saddam Insane!

[MeekOneGOP]

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[jagrmeister]

The New York Times really does a great job of liberal spin. They've perfected it into an art form. And I really laud them for getting so many people to take them seriously despite their laughing in the face of journalistic standards of evenhandedness and reporting the truth. While I can't say anything nice about their journalism, they are to be commended for their political communication skills.

[dansangel]

More leftist BS, pondscum-sucking drivel that makes me want to poke my own eye out with a stick.

The obvious spittle-flying hatred would be humorous if it wasn't just so darned tiring to read and listen to.

Gibson, Hirsen, Drudge, et al will prevail in the end. It's this belief that's the only thing that keeps me going.

[Petronski]

Excellent piece about Gibson's "Passion."

[PaulJ]

Further proof of liberals hatred for Catholics. (We need a word. Papalphobia, perhaps? Are they Cathaholics?)
