romantico, you don't have to believe me. Believe your own lying ears. Bill Maher states that he deceived people to get them to appear in the film.

1:45 mark

Maher: We lied

I HATE Mike Huckabee!!! There's not many people in the world that I hate, but he is one of them. Anyone who compares abortion to the Holocaust and feels that the Holocaust is okay to joke about is an anti-Semite, in my book. PLUS he's Evangelical Christian, which means he believes that you MUST convert non-Christians (particularly Jews. If you want to know why they pick on Jews, PM me. There's a reason you don't see groups like Muslims for Jesus, Atheists for Jesus, Hindus for Jesus, Buddhists for Jesus, but you see a group called Jews for Jesus.) If Mike Huckabee came ANYWHERE close to the presidency, I'd IMMEDIATELY buy a plane ticket for Amsterdam, Melbourne, Toronto, or London, although, I'm considering leaving the U.S. if McCain wins, anyway.

"There's a reason you don't see groups like Muslims for Jesus"

You do see the irony in this statement don't you?

Whether it was for a documentary, a film, or whatever these people interviewed agreed to sit in front of a camera and share their views. It is only when they see the finished product and see they may appear foolish that they cry foul! If they had seemed the beacon of reason and enlightenment you wouldn't have heard a peep out of them.
A seasoned politician should know better then to say something like "It doesn't take a lot of smarts to be in the Senate." (or whatever the exact quote was) in front of a camera. Doesn't matter what context it is in, it will come back and bite you in the ass.
Crying about it later makes one wonder just how many smarts he actually has!

Goth, you still keep running away fro my question. DID YOU SEE THE FILM? If no, how can you give an honest and fair account of the film? People who were dumb enough to appear in Borat also cried foul and claimed the old "He tricked Me" game as well.Like the guy who said he didn't know Maher was going to be interviewing him and how Maher slipped in.Oh, but the guy who was tricked still chatted and talked with Maher.If he was so upset, why give Bill the time of day? Love the excuses these poor victims have in their pathetic defense.Bottom line is anyone who is dumb enough to be suckered into this deserves to look like a fool.

I am not sure if the same goes for this film, but with Borat all the people had to sign and were paid. This is why all the law suits were thrown out with the Borat film. So, these idiots will talk to Maher, maybe even sign an agreement and take some money. However, when the film comes out and they see how its been edited or perceived THAT'S WHEN THEY CLAIM IGNORANCE AND ARE OUTRAGED. Goth, you sound like you would be one of the people who would appear in a film like this and react the same way.

Have you seen the film? For a person who hasn't you sure seem to have a lot to say about it.

Not really. Many Christians who try to convert people of other religions target Jews, because they believe that Jews and Christians have some special bond, because Jesus was born Jewish, and because the first Christians were originally Jews. Islam came hundreds of years after Paul spread Christianity (which was around 72 years AFTER Jesus' death, so is that a very credible religion? NO!), and of course, Christians do not feel a bond with Buddhists, Hindus, or Atheists, because Buddhism and Hinduism are Eastern religions that are totally unrelated to the Monotheistic religions that originated in the Middle East. That is why Evangelical Christians target Jews, because they think that it's normal for a Jew to convert to Christianity because all you would have to do is just learn 1 more book, the New Testament.

Yeah, well it's not Christians that are saying things like "Israel should be wiped off the map". And I can point to several Christians who helped hide Jews during the Holocaust. Can you give Muslim examples of people who hid Jews?
