Dear nopardons,

Mr. Ford was a bit nutty. Very successful, but a bit nutty.

However, it's one thing to believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 1926, and another thing to believe it in 2006.

Ninety years ago, it was rubbish, false, slanderous, but not formally proven false.

Today, it's still rubbish, false, slanderous. As well, it's formally proven a forgery.

People who believed this garbage 80 years ago were bigots.

People who still believe this garbage now entertain delusions.

"I just pinged you to a thread, posted in mid May of this yea, wherein Gibson doesn't call the president names, per se, but says that he based his new film on the president and his administrations 'barbaric' actions. This is a movie about ancient Mayans, BTW. Yep, President Bush goes to every football game and has the winners' sacrificed, with their hearts torn out of their quivering bodies, while still alive and without anesthetic."

If you read what Mr. Gibson actually SAID, as opposed to what you want to infer, he compares Mr. Bush thusly:

"The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys."

O! My! Mr. Gibson called President Bush a "fear-mongerer!" How frightful!!

Frankly, this is pretty mild stuff compared to what we say about Mr. Clinton and "Hitlery" and the like every day.

If you think this rises to the level of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, then I'll pray for you.

First of all, THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION is far older than you claim it to be. It was first published, in book form ( the pamphlets were older !), in Russian in 1902. At that time, there were so few Jews, anywhere, with any kind of power, it was palpably ridiculous beyond words. And for you to now say that it wasn't yet a "proven" fraud, in 1926 ( and WHY that year? Ford and Edison and D.W.Griffith, et al had been anti-Semitics for decades prior to 1926.) is irrelevant, irrational, and more peculiar than you can imagine.

FYI...........THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION were actually outed as and proven to be a fraud, in 1921, when they were shown to be a version of a French satire on Louis Napoleon...Joly's "DIALOGUES AUX ENFERS ENTRE MACHIAVEL ET MONTERSQUIEU which had been written in 1865.

It was again revived in 1930, by Hitler and is still being published and sold in most Arab and Muslim countries. Heck, a couple of years ago, Egyptian T.V. made and showed a T.V. series based on it, and people there ate it up with a spoon.

Words have meanings; set meanings and that you misuse words and then object to my correct use of words, is not helpful.

In fact, THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION, was the FIRST world wide CONSPIRACY book ever pushed by bigots and tinfoilers. It was a "forgery", it was and still is a PROPAGANDA hit piece and a fraud.

People who believed in this 100 + years ago were no different from those who still accept it as factual.

People who believed in it 80 years ago, AFTER IT HAD BEEN PROVED FALSE FIVE YEARS EARLIER were bigots and, to use YOUR word, "delusional"!

You cherry-picked that thread and what the article said. Nice try, but try doing THAT on someone else; in me, you have more than met your match and then some.

Geraldo was just on O'Rielly. Yes, yes, he's a joke, but he said that in 2002, when he was in the Mideast and peace really seemed to be at hand, Israel was bombed, yet again. Geraldo said that he asked a higher up on Hamas, how could you let what you want slip through your fingers like that, by attacking Israel? And the Hammas guy snarled at him, "ARE YOU A JEW, ARE YOU A JEW? THE JEWS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE WARS IN THE WORLD!". Sound familiar? It's exactly what Mel said, when he was arrested.

Oh, the "I'LL PRAY FOR YOU" gambit? Please don't...I don't need nor want your prayers and your snarky, sanctimonious, unctuous proffer is unwelcome. Go pray for yourself. Better yet....go learn some history before you decide to post about it again.
