To fight back against the perceived anti-Christian agenda, Hice today attended a two-day conference called "The War on Christians," sponsored by the conservative evangelical group Vision America.

It featured prominent conservative Christian leaders discussing how they believe they are losing the culture wars on issues such as abortion, gay marriage, liberal judges and the latest from Hollywood, like the movie "V for Vendetta."

"The message of 'V for Vendetta' is that Christians are plotting to seize the reins of power," said Don Feder of Vision America.

They also called the enormously popular Web site MySpace.com poison for its millions of young users. "It's a pornography hole," said Rebecca Hagelin, of the Heritage Foundation.

1. hmm, my space is owned by Murdoch who gives them a bully pulpit

2. Hitting a little close to home, maybe?

"The message of 'V for Vendetta' is that Christians are plotting to seize the reins of power."

Uh... didn't Randall Terry actually say that's what they were doing? Something about not wanting pluralism, but control.

6. Uhm

What does Christianity have to do with Randall Terry? Seriously fundamentilist of any ilk disgusts me though.

3. um-- aren't the xtians indeed "plotting to seize the reins of power...?"

Not to put to fine a point on it, but that protestation rings a bit hollow.

4. I really don't get this "liberal judges" thing

In the past 38 years, Republican presidents appointed judges for 26 years, and Democratic presidents appointed judges for only 12 years.

These people don't want judges. They want an American Taliban.

5. Chronicles of Narnia was worse.

How can anyone come up with the notion that a religion could be started from behind a closet is beyond me, let alone remake Jesus into a giant lion. Throw in the witch and you have a Christian tale? And V for Vendetta is supposed to be worse how????

You know what I just realized that this guy is probably some pawn just out there hawking a misleading point of view.

7. peace sign = V

I love that our two-finger peace salute can be interpreted as a "V"





Use it often!

8. Vision America is a christo-fascist organization

Scarborough, the groups leaderwas interviewed by Rachel Maddow the other am on Air America. He's an ass

9. Heh heh. She said "hole."

It must be tough being a tepidly criticized supermajority and holding the reins to at least three branches of government, not to mention the military and most state Governorships.

At this rate, we'll be feeding them to lions by the end of the week.

10. She's a terrorist.

[PatrioticLeftie]

11. Boo-fucking-hoo

You're the goddamn majority, no one is persecuting you. So shut the hell up.

(I'm a little pissed right now)

12. I have seen like two naked pictures on MySpace ever.

Someone needs to find a better pornography hole.
