25. No - not NOW. It's intended to rile them up for the election.
I expect things to escalate, and Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Bob Jones, etc. to go on TV later this summer and start lumping the words Jews and Democrats together - in their usual code speak to the faithful. All very underhanded, but seen enough to stir the haters into acting stupidly, should Jr. lose. Some of my kookier extreme right relatives are warning me that if Jr. loses, they're going to riot. They say they're willing to incite civil war, if that's what it takes to keep the Repukes in power. I'd say they're mostly harmless, but they are heavily armed idiots. But, most of them live in the wilds, out west, so I don't worry about them...much.

I think this movie; while something I think Mel believes in and was done to promote his right wing version of Jesus, will ultimately serve only to divide Americans. And that's why the right wing is going to use it for their banner. They're too close to domination - they have no intention of backing down, and they are totally ruthless.
