the lds church noted in its news release that, "the jewish anti-defamation league in phoenix promptly condemned the distribution, saying that 'hate directed at any of us is hate directed at all of us.'" bill mckeever, director of an organization called the mormonism research ministry, sent a letter to the first presidency of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints protesting what he called the church's "tacit approval" of the anti-defamation league's condemnation of the video. mckeever states, "i wish to express my indignation at your church’s tacit approval of the anti-defamation league's accusation of hatred towards christians who were involved in a recent dvd distribution. it is one thing to disagree with the content of the dvd, but it is quite another to accuse them of being motivated by hate." he concludes by stating, "with all the talk of repentance at your last conference, i think you need to lead by example and offer an apology to the thousands of christians you have offended with this false accusation." mckeever followed up on this letter with an article posted in the "christian examiner online", in which he claimed that the "mormon church went into one of its most hypocritical frenzies in modern times." claiming that the media in utah is "either owned by the lds church or is sympathetic to it," mckeever claimed that "[t]alk show hosts did their best to stir up their listeners against the 'religious bigots' who dared come onto 'our property' with their 'message of hate.'"
