ADL INSULTS CHRISTIANS OVER MEL GIBSON FILM; APOLOGY REQUESTED

The following letter was faxed to ADL National Director Abraham Foxman today:

Mr. Abraham Foxman National Director ADL 823 United Nations Plaza New York, New York 10017

Dear Mr. Foxman:

Regarding the Mel Gibson movie, “The Passion of the Christ,” you were quoted on January 23 in the Los Angeles Times saying, “[Gibson is] hawking it on a commercial crusade to the churches of this country. That’s what makes it dangerous.”

This is very disturbing. To say the film is dangerous because the people who are previewing it are church-going Christians is an insult to practicing Christians. The subtext of this remark is that church-going Christians are latent anti-Semitic bigots ready to lash out at Jews at any given moment.

As president of the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization, I am requesting that you make a public apology immediately. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

William A. Donohue, Ph.D. President

Of course, no apology will ever be forthcoming. The jews lie, calumniate, and slander with impunity.

Well, that goes without saying.

But man, just think. Donohoe - the leader of the Catholic analogue to the ADL - publicly got into Foxman's face.

A lot of Catholics support Donohoe and his organization, including yours truly.

He's got cajones muy grandes, man. Finally a Cat-lick with testicles.

I love it!

Go Donohoe!!

Mel Gibson, who has been relentlessly hounded by Jewish control freaks, just may have found a way out.

It is reported that he'll be adding the following disclaimer to his film; to be wedged between the end of the final scene and the scrolling credits: "During the Roman occupation, 250,000 Jews were crucified by the Romans, but only One rose from the dead."

The disclaimer is being touted by Christian Zionists as something that will "stop those who might use the movie to incite Jew-hatred." Gibson adding pro-Jewish ending to 'Passion'?

How is that "pro-Jewish"? Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. No other Jewish person has done that, so the final scene is accurate.

...250,000 Jews were crucified by the Romans...

This little curtsey to jewish poisecution makes it "pro-jewish."

If Foxman didn't exist, some antiSemite would have invented him. Stupid little shit.

As far as the 250,000, it's just a guess like the unlikely 6 million.

Like the 6 million the 250,000 figure was taken out of thin air.

There's no source given; where does the 250,000 come from? Those super duper Romans (very much like the diabolically insane Nazis) must have been very busy crucifying all those poor, (always) innocent jews -- the entire thing must have lasted decades!
