maycocksean said:Wow, they musta thrown that ad together in five minutes. The production values are horrible. Anybody else notice the echo-y sound?
And using the Jim Caviezal, presumably as Jesus thing is just wrong. Unconscionable.

Could it be that they used Jim Caviezal because he is one of the most well-known celebrities that supports their cause?

Yeah, it is, I can tell because I recognize the phrase bar anash, "Son of Man," which is the form the Talmud always uses (ben enosh would be the Biblical Hebrew). I don't know Aramaic, but altogether the phrase--taking the above into account--sounds almost exactly like ha-ben enosh (only here it's bar anash) v'nashaq, which would be Hebrew for "the Son of Man with a kiss," which would make sense because that's a phrase associated with Judas and thus deception, betrayal, etc. (I don't, however, hear anything that sounds like the Hebrew l'ramut, "Dost thou betray...?"). I'm almost certain I'm right, though.maycocksean said:Can someone confirm that that was Aramaic (which if it was would definitely suggest to me a Jesus connection)

Ok, now you're just persecuting him.

Make no mistake, Limbaugh deserves your scorn. But if you're gonna lay-into someone for their insensitivity towards those stricken with a disease that causes neurological or cognitive impairment then...um...isn't there another word we might use?
MrsSpringsteen said:Someone e-mailed this to Andrew Sullivan
"In your post on the anti-Stem Cell ad featuring Jim Caviezel, you wondered whether he was speaking Aramaic.
As it turns out (according to Reason's blog), he is, and he's saying "You have betrayed me with a kiss." Who this is directed to I am not sure. (The voters of Missouri? Michael J. Fox?) It does seem, however, that Mr. Caviezel is confused as to if he once simply played Jesus or if he actually IS Jesus."
So if you support stem cell research (or specifically this amendment), you have betrayed Jesus-I guess that's what he's saying
