The following comes from a Dec. 8 story with the Catholic News Agency.
A new billboard campaign in Los Angeles leading up to Christmas is hoping to raise awareness of persecuted Christians both locally and around the world.
The Catholic League, a Catholic civil rights organization, has sponsored a Christmas billboard displayed in Los Angeles. Last year, the group sponsored a New York City billboard, and this year, it hopes to make its mark on the culture right outside of Hollywood.
“For the past several years, we’ve been engaged in a battle of the billboards with our atheist foes at Christmastime,” stated Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, in a Dec. 3 press release.
The large, illuminated billboard sits on Pico Boulevard, just west of Fairfax Avenue, one of the most heavily traveled East-West routes in Los Angeles. The Catholic League hopes to target the traffic between Century City and downtown Los Angeles.
The Catholic League’s message on the billboard reads:
“Not all Christian haters are equal:
Abroad we’re beheaded
At home we’re bashed.
The differences are profound;
So are the similarities.
Have a peaceful and joyous Christmas.”
The billboard will be on display until Dec. 28, and the organization says it hopes to highlight the reality of persecuted Christians domestic and abroad – emphasizing that any kind of religious discrimination is unacceptable.
“No, the Hollywood moguls who disrespect Christians are not the same as radical Muslims who behead us, but both are full of hate,” Donohue stated.
“Christians are fed up with the barbarians abroad and the bigots at home,” he continued, saying that “it’s time all these bullies learned to practice the virtue of tolerance and the meaning of diversity.”

Good for Bill Donohue and the Catholic League in this matter.
I am sick of the lies coming out of Hollywood (and the public media) that teaches hate and promotes hate and discrimination.
Hollywood does not use Sacred Scripture or the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition” for accuracy.
They do not care about accuracy.
They know that Catholics will not threaten or harm them or their families for their blasphemy or lies – like radical Muslims will if they blaspheme Mohammed etc.
Ah but they will be judged by Jesus at their deaths.
And Jesus said – few will be saved.
Most of those in Hollywood are idolators. They worship the dollar. They push their own political agenda as well to support their own sins.
They promote sex, homosexual relationships, fornication, and adultery.
They promote violence.
In the USA Christian Faiths stand in the way of their agenda. And they will do whatever it takes to destroy them.
Back in the 40s & 50s Hollywood produced some very fine classical films that had gruesome or violent subjects (such as Quo Vadis) but they produced a story that uplifted the human condition offering hope. Today it is just totally the opposite with almost all films and most medias, including advertising taking that human condition in a downward, denigrating spiral. Even the so-called hero good guys are generally unkempt, unshaven almost sleazy like characters. In the past one could view TV or walk out of a theater with a sore stomach from laughing or being uplifted by the moral thrust of what was viewed. Today it’s no accident that the number one prescriptions are for depression as this is how most of the media and our entertainment leave one today. Depressed!
Breitbart:
“The term gay mafia might not have been invented by former-Hollywood heavyweight Michael Ovitz, but it did enter the American lexicon in 2002 when Ovitz attacked the “gay mafia” for bringing down a company he formed in 1999.
In a 2002 interview with Vanity Fair, Ovitz blamed a cabal formed by the openly gay David Geffen for destroying his career.
The response from Geffen and a number of other media moguls was swift and severe. Ovitz was never able to recover.
Today, the man who once ruled Hollywood has almost completely disappeared.”
Funny that business at Ovitz’ level is definitely a cutthroat endeavor, yet when one cuthroat business person succeeds in cutting the business throat of a competitor, they have to look to the fact that the victor is gay to take issue. Of COURSE it has to do with his sexual orientation! It has nothing whatsoever to do with BUSINESS. Because, you know, businessmen play nice with each other ALL THE TIME! The fact of the matter is that Ovitz failed in his business endeavors, so he had to blame the gay. How is it even remotely possible that if Ovitz had the talent and the connections everyone thought he had that one man would be able to make “the man who once ruled Hollywood {} almost completely disappear”? This makes no sense whatsoever. Especially if you really believe other commentators on this post who say that Hollywood worships the almighty dollar. Do they worship the dollar, or do they worship the gay?
If sin gets them money, HOLLYWOOD will do whatever is necessary to get it.
However, there are several well placed homosexuals in high places at Hollywood studios who promote their sinful lifestyle anyway they can.
Funny . . . apparently not all Christians hate equally either.
Whomever you are talking about peter is then not a Christian.
Hating the person is not permitted by Christians.
Hating their mortal sins are required;
as well as not tolerating mortal sins of any kind.
There ARE all kinds of Catholic haters.
Some of the worst Catholic haters profess to be devout, but simply use their so called faith as an excuse to hurl abusive ad hominems at those they do not like. Clearly, such “faith” isn’t about God, or helping their fellow man.
This kind of “faith” is about asserting their superiority over those they see as beneath themselves, Such a person is a Catholic hater, because they despise the requirements of truth faith. Instead, they want to turn religion into a ranking game where they rate relatively high on the totem pole.
A perfect example we see here is Michael McDermott and his regular rants against those he hates—filled with irrational ad hominems rather than any attempt to help his fellow man.
Hatred for Christ and His Church is rooted in homosexuality. In the West, sodomites have taken over the media, education, and the government, hence the hatred in the West for Christianity. In the East, Islam, the religion of the sodomite practice of bacha bazi, has taken over entire societies, hence the hatred in the East for Christianity.

Resident Harpy Mau Mauing is as much part of the season as snow in the frozen north – meaning pretty much a year round downpour of Alinskyite ‘shaming’ ad-hominem attacks, particularly those directed against participants at whom the Harpy has shrieked at by name.
However – the purpose is not to harass me (I Scroll by the Trolls – as I recommend to others, although I can pick out my name in a pile of muck before moving on) – rather the purpose is to Scare the Rest of You into Silence.
And of course – Disrupt the board; although like others who would strike at your heel, they can only do what to you – what you let them.
Don’t – Let Them, ‘Stroll by the Troll’.

‘I Started A Whole Fake Hate-Crime Thing… So I Didn’t Have To Do My Homework’
05/04/2014 (Robby Soave – Daily Caller) https://dailycaller.com/2014/05/04/i-started-a-whole-fake-hate-crime-thing-so-i-didnt-have-to-do-my-homework/
The perpetrator of an infamous, decade old hate-crime hoax recently explained her motivation for deceiving friends, teachers and local police into believing that she was being terrorized by anti-gay bigots.
“I started a whole fake hate-crime thing with the police so I didn’t have to do my homework,” said the woman.
The incidents happened more than 10 years ago. The woman, who is unnamed in Buzzfeed’s interview, was a 17-year-old student at Tamalpais High School in Marin County, California in 2004.
She was out as a lesbian, and ran the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance group, seemingly making her a target of an anti-gay tormenter who scrawled insults on her car and locker. She also received death threats.
community banded together … teachers at Tamalpais were also targeted, & police became involved. Authorities eventually determined that the victim was in fact the perpetrator.
She had written the obscenities and called in the death threats herself…
– Daily Caller readers are familiar with the fake bias incidents that plague high school and college campuses. It is rare to receive such a candid explanation from a perpetrator, however.
