Coburn followed his call for Christian government with a denunciation of NBC's broadcast of Schindler's List as "an all-time low." The Holocaust movie, he declared, contained "full-frontal nudity, violence, and profanity." He was universally ridiculed. Even William Bennett flayed him. Coburn's political philosophy is essentially paranoia. He recently warned that background checks on gun buyers were preparation for "national confiscation of firearms." A year after the Oklahoma City bombing, he asserted that Americans should worry more about "our own government" threatening liberty than about terrorism.
