Jack Chick

Perhaps America's most famous anti-Catholic and almost certainly the world's best example of a man who receives more attention than he deserves.  His ministry involves the distribution of short comic tracts and his series of "Crusader Comics" featuring Aberto the ex-Jesuit priest.  His comics range from the half-way decent (like his pro-life tract) to the very-difficult-not-to-laugh-at (like his 20-panel strawman refutations of Buddhism, Islam and Judaism) to the ridiculous (like his "exposure" of the truth that the pope's created communism and nazism) to the offensive and blasphemous (like the infamous "death cookie" comic about the Eucharist).  All this is interspersed with Jack's self-aggrandizing opinion pieces, such as how free speech doesn't exist in Canada because our government doesn't allow some of his comics in under out hate speech laws.  When asked if he must be so offensive Jack answers (in the thrid person, inexplicably) "Absolutely! Because in Jack's mind, it's better that he offend you than let you offend God. *Because you gonna burn, suckah!)"  If all this wasn't enough, Chick also pushes the once-saved-always-saved Protestant agenda, a doctrine that many people find so appealing that they seem not to notice how little sense it makes and what a total absense of support there is for it in scripture.  Nevertheless, even though he continues to be largely unsuccessful in recruiting people to his side and his arguments can be refuted by a boiled asparagus of average intelligence his ministry is actually a real threat to the Church.  His views are so ludicrously extreme that he makes plain vanilla fundamentalism seem pretty sensible by comparrison.
