Will Hillary and Joe come out and condemn the "Left Behind" video game?
OK, so are these two self righteous blow hards going to come out and condemn "Left Behind" or is it OK to kill people on video games if they are nonbelievers? After all, didn't good 'ole Joe say there is "no freedom from religion"? Or will Hillary not be sufficiently pissed because there are no pixelated boobies in Left Behind?

I just thought of it as I watched Daily Show and frankly there wasn't a huge difference between Left Behind and Grand Theft Auto.

I really doubt we'll hear anything (but I will take back my words otherwise), after all, didn't I hear something about a strategy of them pandering to the RR?

3. criticizing
criticizing =/= calling for govt. control/censorship

i am 100% for criticism of certain video games

games that set as goals, the extermination of jews, such as mentioned DESERVE criticism

however, they are clearly legal expressions of free speech (in the USA. these games are illegal in canada, france, germany, the UK, etc.)

criticizing something is a valid use of the 1st amendment

4. the only way i see that happening is if
Left Behind sells a whole lotta copies, like in the millions....Games like GTA and DOOM before it were easy targets because even those that don't play video games knew of their popularity
