Message to Mel Gibson's Father
Email | 4/11/2004 | Dan Barash

Bowing to intense pressure from Mel Gibson's father, Jews announced today that they would no longer control the world.

In a press release, Jews stated, "Although we have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of world domination for the last 3000 years, we feel it's time for gentiles to take control of their own affairs. We plan to spend more time with our families and pursue other interests."

Hutton Gibson stated he was pleased with the announcement, but expressed concern he was losing a scapegoat for all of his problems.

He said he would be launching a search for a new minority group to demonize.

Many Jews expressed relief that they could give up burdensome responsibilities. Retired accountant Jerry Friedman, who controls all media in Montana, said, "I would just as well let the citizens of Montana manage their own TV and newspapers. Don't get me wrong, Montana is a fine state. But it gets awfully cold, and there's nowhere to get a good bagel."

Attorney Allen Franks said he's glad he no longer has to manage Bulgarian monetary policy. "It was getting to be quite a hassle," he said. "I already have a full time job and can't even balance my own checkbook, let alone control the finances of an entire nation."

Homemaker Judith Levine said she would "...miss the hustle and bustle of setting the international price for magnesium every day. But my son is about to become Bar Mitzvah, and oy! Such a party we're gonna have, you wouldn't believe!"

Hollywood producer Sidney Greenbaum was pessimistic about the announcement. "Do you really think goyim know how to make movies?" he asked. "They'll all end up being high budget, technicolor snuff flicks if you leave things up to Mel and his kind."

Comedy experts expressed concern that the business would suffer if Jews suddenly withdrew. According to one insider, "Take away all the Jewish comics and writers, and all you have left is Carrot Top. That's not a world I want to live in."

I'm sorry to all the people who took offense to this, but it was pretty funny.
Christians get slammed but from what I can see (yet don't understand) the Jews are beated on more than anyone else.
BTW Mel's dad was mentioned once. He is an old man with old ideas. I knew many people who were bigoted against many when I was a child. The problem is not the old with the old ideas, it's the young that keep them up.

No, anyone being honest knows that the reason any of us even know the name of Mel's dad - let alone his views on the holocaust - is because Abe Foxman declared Mel the enemy of Judaism, and wasn't able to make a very good case of it with the material he had.

Amen. I never even heard of this guy until Mel made his movie about Christ and I cannot name any other celebrities parents, go figure. There are those that see anyone who is a devout Christian as ipso facto an anti-Semite.

But we are not supposed to see this as Christian bashing. Okaay.

The guy writing this has nothing to do with that. He is a rightwing Jew and this is directed to the dad, and in no way is he trying to descredit the movie Passion, in no way part of the ADL, etc. etc.

Strictly speaking, you are of course correct.

That said, Hutton Gibson would have remained a non-topic if it weren't for leftist groups trying to attack Mel Gibson and his traditional Christianity. Now that they have attacked his father and gave him a status he otherwise would never had enjoyed, if that is the right phrase, The author of the article seems to be piling on regardless of his political views.

He would be seen as more authentically right wing if he pointed out these salient facts.

Your god requires the tax paid support of the state and inculturation of the unwilling unbelievers in school?

On the contrary, those who worship the State and State control of education require the taxing of non-believers of their secular religion in order to inculturate the masses with their secular ideology.

Christians are second class citizens who are forced to pay twice in order to educate their children properly. And the first payment to the State is used to teach children values that are anti-thetical to their religious values as well as antithetical to producing decent moral citizens to maintain the health of the Republic.

He is, however, outspoken about some strange, and objectively incorrect, beliefs.

The beliefs strike me as strange as well. But I have yet to see a compare and contrast based on evidence between the differing points of view regarding the holocaust and yes there are several. While I've seen several articles quoting Hutton Gibson's views, I must say that he is arguing degree not denial.

Concerning Greenspan, I always thought he was some kind of Ayn Rand objectivist despite his Jewish heredity.

Ayn Rand was a Russian Jewish emigre who came to America and fell in love with it.

Apparently someone kept hitting the abuse button on Conservative Knight. Too bad, now I'll never know what his side of the story was.

I guess we've become just as tolerant as the left on these matters.

Nothing I saw he said was that bad. I'm suspecting he was a returning bannee who was caught.
