I feel Democratic Underground errs when it accuses Mel Gibson of revealing his "true colors" during the notorious DUI incident.
I've known many (too many) people with substance abuse issues, and I refuse to accept the common perception that the drunken self is the truest self. I refuse to believe that everything outside the Id is mere veneer. Although a man may temporarily lose his reason, as Gibson did that night, reason is still a massive part of who we are.
Gibson's friend Dean Devlin, who is Jewish, has said that Gibson will say things during a lapse which do not reflect his innermost character. I see no reason to question this judgment.
Mel Gibson is no friend to the Iraq war. By taking an unforgiving attitude toward this man, the left has spurned one of the few famed individuals with an ability to present an anti-war case to the hard-core Bush supporters.
Hell. I may take another look at Passion of the Christ to see if it really was as bad as I first thought...

Don't bother. It is. It's a vile snuff film about a fairy tale with no supporting evidence.
joe, i agree with the notion that the media has so thoroughly over-reacted. it's as if the zionists smelled blood in the water and the rest is the feeding frenzy.
ran across a couple of interesting pieces that are food for thought with regard to the larger issues that are triggering all things zionist and anti-semitic. the first one is josh marshall's confession to being and believing in zionism. it was hard to read because i have oh so much respect for him. but he does not consider the history far back enough to recognize how deeply the arab nations were betrayed by the US and Britain and the UN in the late 40s after FDR had promised them a palestinian state when israel was given their land. truman did not honor this, and the wound has festered since, on all levels, as more than just land robbery, but humiliation. the zionist preservation of the israeli state does not seem to ever include this fact into the equation.
the second piece is from larisa at rawstory, where she says she is jewish and had the predictable objections to gibson's 'passion of christ' on historical grounds. that seemed generous on her part, actually; i haven't seen the film, but could not bring myself to such gore emphasized over the teachings of this man. but whatever.
larisa's larger point about mel and the feeding frenzy was interesting, because she pointed out the obvious facts that (1) the same christians who embraced the film are now skewering him as anti-semitic; (2) the same liberals who panned the film for being anti-semitic are now claiming that therefore gibson is; and (3) neither of these groups notice that gibson was never accused of being anti-semitic prior to his infamous film, so it hardly counts as logical to assume that one perspective as embodied in that film therefore makes him such.
it's all just obscene to me, but sadly not surprising. like any case of mass hysteria, no one has to pull any strings to make this cultural puppetry go after anything that can be remotely associated with anti-semitism in the current climate, as brought to you by... the american media.
this is how the manipulation of the public can become so damn effective, while the management of it is essentially passive. like jiu jitsu, the PRopaganda machine simply uses the weaknesses of the public system to destroy itself.
I simply can't believe somebody besides me isn't stating the obvious:
Mel Gibson play acted this exceptionally powerful psyop to support Jews, Zionism, and Israel.
I'm %100 serious.

I've heard two little tidbits from around. 1: Mel was going to start publicly opposing the war (real brave there Mel after 70% of the country). 2: Mel had exclusive rights to an inside story about Jeff Gannon aka the manwhore turned fake journalist and frequent whitewhouse 'overnight guest'. Perhaps I'm just paranoid.
