Here’s a link to an article in Slate magazine that discusses Mel Gibson’s appalling behavior and how his relationship with a particular Catholic sect influences this behavior and the attitudes that spawned it.

Am I becoming jaded? I’m not even surprised anymore when I hear about a member of a religion led by a former Hitler Youth kid espousing racist and anti-Semitic banter.

Religion is whatever you invent it to be. Under such dank and morally ambiguous conditions, hatred thrives.
wtf is that movie trailer at the bottom?
He pissed off some jews years ago and now they are out to get him every chance they get.Like he is the only jerk ranting/raving/hitting the wife.

So…what? The Salon article is a part of some jewish conspiracy?
Do you even listen to yourself?
& leaving his abused spouse for some younger chippie? Oh, hey, everyone does it, makes it all right.
SIGH – as always, only quoting the sites that you agree with.
KA
Why would i quote sites i disagree with.
The salon probably is jewish owned.
I think gibson is a moron by the way.
Zionism is a destructive force soaked in the blood of innocents both jewish an arab.You are i believe a decent and thoughtful person and i hope over time you will reconsider your support for zionism.
Yeah, who needs anything resembling objectivity anyways?
Standard cheap maneuver – I do believe that’s called poisoning the well. Can you prove it? (Why do I ask?)
No, it’s a movement that is trying to secure survival of the jewish people. Unfortunately, survival is rarely pretty.
I am all that, & it’s why I support it. A logical choice.
I’m partially with you on this one (not sure about the Revenge of the Jews thing), and I’m no big Gibson fan (OK he was HOT in Mad Max and Lethal Weapon 1, purely superficial). How many husbands/wives threaten ex’s during a messy divorce? ____% of them (fill in the blank). Ever been there? It doesn’t make it right, just idiodically human.
About the tooth thing? Is there evidence he did this with malice? I had a boyfriend that broke my tooth in half. It was quite the (fun) wrestling match! He felt horrible. Did Gibson even do it at all? Where are the pictures? Question everything!
I think the ex’s motivation is questionable. Perhaps someone should tell her that sometimes when you poke a snake, you get bit. It’s best to set the stick down and get the hell out of it’s way and chalk it up as experience. And next time, don’t breed until you know you’re NOT sleeping with the enemy.
Oh yeah, kids mean money. Sheesh!
I have some of old man Gibson’s books on my shelf, including his self-published classics Is the Pope Catholic?
Just out of curiosity…why do you believe Hitchens really does have “old man Gibson’s books” on his bookshelf? Sure sounds like an example of “blind faith”.
His tirades are the distilled violence, cruelty, and bigotry of right-wing Catholic ideology.
I wonder if Mr. Hitchens knows what a bigot is?
bigot- a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race
Phreedm
Gibson believes his ex-wife is going to hell for being protestant.He and his old man are bigots.So am i,heck 99% of us probably are.
