Mel Gibson Uses Racial Slur: Report (This is still shocking news to ABC ???)

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...

[rbg81]

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

[skeeter]

apparently using an expression that is deeply insulting to African Americans.

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.

[TokuMei]

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.

[Eyes Unclouded]

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

[Talisker]

I wonder why ABC considers this to be newsworthy...

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.

[Deagle]

Hey, it’s simply that Gibson is not a full blown Hollywood liberal..

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.

[mware]

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

[Kenny]

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

[brytlea]

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.

[mac_truck]

I find Gibson’s candor refreshing.

[grand wazoo]

They will never forgive him for making that movie.

[Randy Larsen]

That’s why I love them!

He has fire in his heart!

[Persevero]

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.

[SharpRightTurn]

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.

[Realman30]

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

[DJ MacWoW]

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

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