You are right about the eternal kind of judgement on Mel. No one knows Mel’s heart but God. I just see a very painful and self destructive dance he’s doing in life. I hope it does not continue for him like this.

You keep talking about a “larger agenda” and heaping doubt upon the idea that this Malibu cop was not part of something larger.

Wow, when you chop everything up into pieces an rearrange them you can get to any where. I never said anything about the cop being involved in a "conspiracy".

You don't think that Hollywood has a "larger agenda"?

The left and Hollywood went after Mel before his Christian movie was even made, because they heard about the script, now he is losing his career, and you are defending the left, yet you are uninterested in the industrial sized attacks against Christianity by Hollywood, where they spend billions to destroy, attack, create hatred against Christianity on an international scale.

No, Hollywood is just in business for the money. It is pure coincidence that virtually none of the big executives or stars are conservative Christians. /sarc

I think that the only reason Mel, with his religious beliefs, was allowed to become a star is that they figured he was too much of a drunk to cause trouble. Hollywood has since realized it miscalculation, and is trying to drum him out.

By all means, circle the wagons around this loony antisemitic Holocaust denier as a person worthy of defense.

You could do little else that would be more effective in discrediting Christianity as to try to set this guy is our poster boy.

He is a antisemitic conspiracy mongering Holocaust denying loon.

That is simply the truth.

He being an antisemitic conspiracy mongering Holocaust denying loon is serving the “larger agenda” of Hollywood more than it is doing anything conceivable to hinder it.

It isn’t a matter of circling the wagons around him, it is a matter of telling anti-Christian, racist bigots, (to use your language, since Christians aren’t Jews) that after all these years they can become a little less obsessed with destroying the man, at least a conservatives can.

Hollywood doesn’t bother you, a generations old war against Christianity by Hollywood doesn’t bother you, Gibson losing his career, doesn’t bother you, only his drunken insult against Jews bothers you, that is an unusual case of tunnel vision and selective outrage, and bigotry for a supposed conservative.

Destroying the man? He lost a job because people didn't want to be associated with him. Inconsistent as they worked on the prior movie with a convicted and unrepentant rapist.

Am I obsessed with destroying Mike Tyson's career as well? No. Would I want to be associated with him? Not ever.

It is you who wants to make this about Hollywood and about Gibson being ‘under siege’ by Jews.

I say it is about a raving antisemitic Holocaust denying idiot and the people who (inconsistent or not) don't want to work with him.

I like the guys movies, and even pay to see them in the theater - but let us not lose sight of the fact that the man is a CRAZY LOONY RACIST with no knowledge of history that isn't bent by his raving loony world view of Holocaust denial and the idea that Jews start all wars.

To you, it seems, he has the right enemies - so his idiocy and ignorance and racism can be excused.

I don't see it.

But I guess unless I declare the man a living saint without sin, I am not concerned enough with the “generations old war against Christianity by Hollywood”.

Baloney!

“all these years”?

Um..... it wasn't that long ago.

Is there a statute of limitations on being a Holocaust denying Jew hating loon?

LOL, nothing about Hollywood being anti Christian on an industrial scale, and making entire movies attacking Christianity, bothers you at all, by now your bigotry and racism (to use your language, since Christians aren’t Jews)is obvious.

Your lunacy is obvious.

I am a Christian and have there is nothing bigoted or racist in pointing out Mel Gibson's own words.

He denies the Holocaust.

He thinks Jews started all wars.

He is a loon.

People from a movie don't want to work with him. They are free not to.

This is only an attack upon Christianity if you are seeking to elevate Mel Gibson to be the poster boy for Christianity instead of the fringe nutjob (who thinks he is more Catholic than the Pope) that he is.

An attack on Mel Gibson is not an attack on Christianity.

Saying people are free to not work with Mel if they don't want to (while pointing out the inconsistency in that they worked with a convicted and unrepentant rapist) is not buying into the Hollywood “war” against Christianity.

Yet that is the entirety of your argument.

If I point out that the guy is off his rocker and a racist, I must hate Christians (I am a Christian), be a bigot and a racist, and be for the “war” against Christianity by Hollywood.

Preposterous! Ludicrous! Idiotic! Infantile!

Let me guess: you’re a redhead. And it all goes back to psychedelic mushrooms, flying reindeer and Santa Claus, who was himself in fact a redhead, who ate reindeer. And mushrooms.

When asked about his father's Holocaust denial and if he agreed or not he said “My father never lied to me.”

He advocated his Father's Holocaust denial. This was quite awhile ago, and many people let go his little equivocation and dropped it; he was making too much money for all the right people in Hollywood - and nobody wanted to dig too deep.

In light of his “The Jews are responsible for starting all the wars in the world” rant, his Holocaust denial and the abject lunacy behind his worldview comes more clearly into focus.

Yeah, we are in our almost 8th year of Gibson bashing because of “Passion of the Christ”, and creeping up on a half decade since the drunken slurs that got your and the anti-Christian, Hollywood set’s panties in a wad, yet Mel is losing work even now.

Nothing about Hollywood being anti Christian on an industrial scale, and making entire movies attacking Christianity, bothers you at all, by now your bigotry and racism (to use your language, since Christians aren’t Jews)is obvious.

What you keep refusing to do is show us Mel Gibson denying the concentration camp deaths, yet you keep posting that he does, show us the proof or drop it.

Your idiocy is obvious.

Four years ago is not “after all these years”. It was four years ago. 28 July 2006. Going 87 mph in a 45 mph zone, drunk to the gills with an OPEN bottle of Tequila, ranting and raving about Jews starting wars and “sugar t*ts”! (under siege by Jews, they must have used a mind control ray, and GIVEN him the Tequila! Yeah, that's the ticket!)

But unless I sweep it under the rug and declare him repentant (he didn't) and reformed (he isn't) I must be buying into the Hollywood anti-Christian war and be a bigot and racist.

Awwww, the poor widdle millionaire is losing work? Well, when you sh*t in your own bed, it takes some cleaning up.

But be sure to cry yourself to sleep that he will not be working on “Hangover 2”, no doubt it would just be a vehicle to further the “war” on Christianity anyway.

What a loon!

He was raised up in his father's Church, learning from his father. When asked about his father's WELL KNOWN Holocaust denial, he said “My father never lied to me.”

He supported and advocated as truth his father's Holocaust denial.

That sort of shoddy thinking is ALSO behind the lunacy of thinking and saying that “Jews are responsible for starting all the wars in the world”.

If you think a conspiracy on the scale of the ‘invention’ of a false Holocaust is possible, so would be a conspiracy whereby Jews are behind all the wars in the world.

The guy is a loon!

Besides all the stuff that happened four years ago (all those years ago!), he just recently was on tape saying things about “N*gger” this and “Wetback” that.

Oh, but I am the racist and bigot for pointing out that this is NOT a man worth defending! Sure, keep telling yourself that. Maybe make up some more conspiracy theories about Jews laying in wait with poor widdle Mel “under siege”.

Amusing!

“My father never lied to me.” is not a denial of the Holocaust. You are trying to read the man's soul. He has a very public forum and has never promoted anything having to do with the Holocaust. Your false accusations are a disgrace.
