Well, the ends justify the means, right?

Oh please... on or off record his father is a loon to be ignored.

In many states, recording someone without their knowledge is a crime. Any experts on those laws here?

The fact is, he still said/thinks it. However, it is more than a little ironic that the people, who had a big problem with one particular line in the film, are trying to take the "sins" of the father and apply them to the son.
It is even more ironic that they are up in the air about Mel's father denying the Holocaust when they are trying to deny that some, not all, Jews played a part in the Crucifixion.

I believe in Txas and New York only oneee party to the conversation needs to be aware that the call is being taped. It varies by state.

Oh please... on or off record his father is a loon to be ignored. Exactly. The problem is that people insist on not ignoring him.
He's a crazy old man who apparently has never harmed anybody except for some Japanese during WWII.

But it still doesn't look good, baiting some 85-year old man into making some stupid comment so you can try to discredit his son.
To: westerfield
I thought the story was that Hutton Gibson called INTO a radio station, not that someone called HIM and recorded their conversation. How hard could it be to get the story straight?
To: wimpycat
A loon to be ignored. Exactly. Maybe so, but remember he's an old man. My dad is the same age and doesn't agree with anything I say. If I was famous, I can see him doing the same thing.
To: Always Right
Connie Chung knows all about that.

Hutton Gibson might be a nut, but still it's pretty sleazy to deceive an 85 y/o man like that in order to do a hit piece against his son.
To: westerfield
Oh, I agree. I'm just addressing the fact that saying "he didn't know he was being recorded," doesn't change the fact that he said this stuff, and thinks it, which he is free to do. If they have a problem with Mel, they should keep their focus on Mel.

If the detractors ignore him, then they are left to deal with the content of the movie itself. The movie is about Christ and a lot of these detractors hate Christ, hate anything related to Christ which would also be biblical Judaism which has always preached the ten commandments. I don't think Christ would approve of this open sodom and gomorrah marriage free for all going on so I'm not surprised.

Ignored yes, but a loon? that is a stretch. Would we consider Ronald Reagan a loon if he rambled on today about WWII? No, we would chalk it up to Alzheimer's.
Mel's father is rambling, but I'm giving him credit for raising a son so devout! We can only hope so many loons are present in Hollywood!

Notice how the left loves to indict all of Christianity for the Crusades.

It's a shame that Mel's father didn't make a documentary against gun-ownership; Follywood would give him an Oscar, regardless of this offbeat theories.

IMHO, For those with faith in Christ, all the attacks upon Mel's dad merely reinforces the obvious. Mel Gibson has produced something of divine good while in fellowship with God. Since Mel is unassailable, the adversary will attack all and any domains surrounding Mel like a raging lion.
So if Mel ever reads this, merely remain steadfast in His will and any cursing brought upon Mel will merely be returned by a blessing in eternity.
God bless Mel.
