Chuckie Watch 34: Chuckie Gits Apocalyptic

Chuckie's up to his neck in the Dark Side in his latest post: Coming Christian Confrontation. Chuckie seems to think that the black helicopters are on their way to round up the Christians. My guess is that he saw part of Night of the Living Dead on TV and is having nightmares of Christian-hating zombies stalking around saying, "We're coming to git you, Chuckie." Chuckie has paranoid flashes when he's deep into the Dark Side.

Chuckie says:

Take a good look around you and you’ll see a consorted effort to belittle and discredit Christians and if you don’t believe it think about this.

Look at the reaction to Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ. It has been called anti-semitic and not historically accurate. I haven’t seen the movie but I think that the accuracy is probably what bothers it’s detractors.

Gosh, Chuckie, what kind of "anti-Christian" types might think that a movie that has hordes of murderous Jews killing Jesus in a blood-spattered spectacle might be anti-Semtic? Who, who, who could those people be?

This is the kind of weird play-acting you find among some of the less savory types on the Christian Right. I'm not sure it would be better in general, but it would be less nauseating, if they just came right out and said, "The Jews are Christ-killers because the Bible tells me so."

But Chuckie's more willing to overtly trash Muslims:

No other religion is persecuted like Christians. Although it’s a well-known fact that radical factions of Islam are sponsoring terrorism around the world. You seldom hear a disparaging word about their religion.

Uh, no, Chuckie, you don't. Except for on every conservative Web site and every conservative magazine you pick up.

As his column goes on, he starts to see visions or something, because he goes into how the ACLU will one day have to recognize that Jesus Christ is King and bowing and confessing and such. I wonder if Chuckie's into some real hard-shell religious kick like Christian Reconstruction or something.

Or maybe he's just gotten into Rush Limbaugh's stash. Either way, Chuckie, it ain't pretty.
