Daughter of House Speaker Accused of "Attacking" Christians with Her New Film

The daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) has been accused of attacking Evangelical Christians and attempting to make them look absurd in her new film, Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi. Her movie has been airing all month on HBO.

Alexandra Pelosi was attacked by syndicated columnist Don Feder in an op-ed piece for USA Today Monday, and his comments were reported in www.onenewsnow.com today. Conservative television commentator Bill O'Reilly has also criticized the film.

Feder accused Alexandra Pelosi of focusing on the most "absurd, ridiculous" things she could find and displaying them as typical of Evangelical Christianity. Evangelical Christianity is a term often used of Christians who stand for certain Biblical principles or beliefs, such as the lost condition of mankind and its need for a Savior and openly proclaim that belief to others.

O'Reilly claimed the movie is a "battle between the militant left and militant Christians." He said Pelosi followed people around for months and said if anybody follows any group of people around long enough that person can find something that looks bad. He said Pelosi purposely only filmed "people on the fringe." Although O'Reilley was critical of the film, he said he does not appreciate "militant Christians" either.

O'Reilly had two guests on his show who also believe the daughter of the House Speaker is unfairly attacking Christians. One of them Sandy Rios, of the Culture Campaign, said the movie was "business as usual." She accused people in the media of always filming only the "fringe" people or people jumping up and down at pro-life demonstrations.

According to Feder, the daughter of the House Speaker is attacking Christians unfairly. He said that at one point Pelosi pointed her camera on "the Christian Wrestling Federation." He also noted the movie showed an interview with Christian teens with tie-dyed hair and nose rings and studs in their tongues. They had fuchsia colored hair.
