Mel Gibson Uses Racial Slur: Report (This is still shocking news to ABC ???)
ABC News ^ | 07/01/2010 | Bob Tourtellotte

Oscar-winning director and actor Mel Gibson, who caused a media storm four years ago over an anti-Semitic statement, is again making headlines for using an apparent racial slur in an argument with his ex-girlfriend.

Celebrity news website Radaronline.com Thursday published excerpts of an audiotape of Gibson telling Oksana Grigorieva, whom "The Passion of the Christ" director is battling in court, that they way she is dressed made her look like a "pig in heat."

"If you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault," Radaronline reported Gibson as shouting at Grigorieva during an argument she taped, apparently using an expression that is deeply insulting to African Americans.

Radaronline, which published the excerpt with the three asterisks, claims to have listened to the tape. A representative for the website was not immediately available for further comment.

A spokesman for Gibson declined to comment due to pending litigation between the actor and his ex-girlfriend, and Gibson's lawyer also was unavailable for comment.

I've seen LOTS of people use the same slur regularly here in New York City alone. I wonder why ABC considers this to be newsworthy...

Mel used the N word. I guess that entitles her to millions of his $$. [/s]

Apparently not, since they casually use it on each other all the time.

They'll never forgive this guy for making his movie, will they.

Some political books recount Bill/Hillary tirades in which —between the lamps thrown— she’d lambaste him as, “J*w N*gger”.

I...had never heard that slur b4.

Anyone who has seen his movies shouldn’t be surprised that he’s got anger issues.

Seems like some kind of warning shot - "remember what we did to Gibson, here's a reminder."

After all, Gore is being destroyed at the moment from the re-opening of a years-old criminal complaint. When Clinton people are tagged, they usually tag back if only to show they still can.

As Jim Caviezel (Passion of the Christ) said once in an interview you can not expect to make a movie about The Passion and not have some of it given back to you.

The demons are going after Gibson bigtime.

If he was black and had said “cracker” or “honky” or “redneck”.........no one would give a s**t.

So....I don’t give a s**t what he says in a private conversation with this wench. Neither should any of you.

Mind you most of those demons are of his own making.

How about those Black Panthers in Philly calling the Caucasion-Americans “Cracker” and “Whitey”? Those aren’t terms of endearment.

I think everyone should just put duct tape on their mouth and never talk at all. That way no one would ever be insulted. There, problem solved.

I don’t think Mel is the victim of some sort of persecution for his godliness.

He had an affair with a 20- something, and left his apparently faithful wife and several kids for her.

Also, he apparently drinks to excess and hates several different racial/ethnic religious groups.

None of this is Christlike in the least.

I’ll get real worked up over this after ABC does a retrospective on the racial diatribes of the “Revs.” Jackson, Sharpton, and Jeremiah Wright.

Not before.

Gibson quoted the lyrics from a rap song. Give him a pass.

It's for having made a Godly movie. Do you see ABC trumpeting what Jeremiah Wright says about whites and Jews? Nope.
