“Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It’s not a secret, okay? And I’m not afraid to say it. That’s why they hate this movie. It’s about Jesus Christ.”
— William Donohue, President of the Catholic League, speaking recently on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country.
Donohue indulged in this spectacular piece of anti-Semitic demagoguery in the context of a discussion about Mel Gibson’s controversial film, The Passion of the Christ. Donohue also added: “Hollywood likes anal sex.”
—Mimi Hanaoka
