more insanity from the religious "right"

From Crooks and Liars :
Pat Buchanan compares The Da Vinci Code to Mein Kampf
---
These wackjobs really must be unhinged and/or bored to death when they have to get this worked up about a work of FICTION! How do these crackpots continue to get exposure? I suppose people must be entertained by the madness!
I just watched the video and Buchanan is truly nutz! With a banner reading "A Holy War" underneath him, he rants about how the fact that 17 million people bought this book, and because of its popularity a movie is being made, and that means that Hollywood is anti-religion! Whew! I would say that means that Hollywood wants to capitalize on it and create a money-making film! I always have a hard time imagining that anyone actually believes any of the absurdities spouted by these loons, but i suppose that some people do, which is scary!
I do find it interesting that Buchanan is not a Catholic and does not share their beliefs, yet is defending them. Doesn't he usually say that his religion is the only true religion and that everyone else is wrong?
