“The Passion of the Christ” is obviously a provocative movie, and will bound to provoke widely differing judgments. But what strikes me about the responses is how politically monolithic they have been. I’m especially struck by how the conservative media, press and intellectual establishment has been, so far as I can tell, completely uniform in its positive response. Among the theocons and neocons, uou are less likely to find a criticism of this movie than you are to find criticism of the president! Have I missed something? Has some brave neoconservative or any writer who gets his paycheck from the conservative media dared to criticize this movie? Or is the Popular Front intact?
