Now if only we could tackle that problem of the bears in the woods...

..Gibson's kids came home from Catholic school with a catechism titled "Shalom." "Shalom," ..

He must live in a Conservative Parish. In our school district, the textbooks all have "Salaam, Salaam" written on them.

He has 600 subscribers worldwide.... "Whenever you say 'plot,' people automatically think 'nutcase,'" Gibson explains. "But there's no way this could happen by accident. There's no way this was not rigged."

Man, this is just like a scene out of Mel's movie, "Conspiracy Theory."

You read this in your local paper there?

LOL.

Sheesh, when the press is out to get you, your parents become crazed lunatics instead of lovable quirky seniors like momma bubba.

And in 1923 I personally observed the elder gibson kicking a cat!

Where is all this crap comes from? Mel is not running for Prez is he? Why all this people are digging dirt on this guy?

I was just thinking that! If the media weren't so upset with Mel, this interesting old coot would never cross anyone's radar.

Gibson's kids came home from Catholic school with a catechism titled "Shalom." "Shalom," Gibson says, clearly horrified. Shalom is the Hebrew form of aloha, meaning hello, good-bye and peace.

The term "Prince of Peace" is a translation of the Hebrew in Isaiah "sar shalom." The entire Old Testament was written in Hebrew. Does this idiot think it was in English? In Latin?

Gee, Ms. Grossman makes Mr. Gibson sound like some kind of a "fruitcake"...shame on her!

Denying the Holocaust is certainly delusional, and perhaps he's a bit overly passionate in some of his other beliefs as well, but there are folks that would agree with much of what he says about "Vatican II"...

[carlo3b]

WOW, This is really interesting! Now I wonder if he is still going to make his wonderful movie about the Jews killing Christ??? I want to see it with a PASSION, even if his dad hears a different drum. WHATEVER!!!! SHEEESH, take a rest!

[Vesuvian]

or if Mel had made something like the Last Temptation of Christ his father would be considered charming

Thus far, he's the grandfather of 48 and has 15 great-grandchildren. He doesn't buy any of them Christmas presents.

The monster!
