Hey, where are all the yapping media heads who were PRAISING 'Patches' Kennedy when he went into rehab after crashing his car into that barracade near the U.S. Capitol?

When Patches did it, it was "heroic", "courageous", blah-blah-blah, why isn't it the same way for Mel Gibson?

This is just another example of the hypocrisy that plays out in the media, in the public, and the only difference here is that Mel produced and distributed one of THE most powerful films in modern times, which has contributed to many people coming to know Christ as Saviour.

That doesn't excuse his behavior, but it certainly explains why we're seeing (and will see) so many people piling on Mel, because deep down they resent him and despise him for what he's done for the cause of Christ, and now it's PAYBACK time.

Mel is in my prayers, and will remain there.

Because "there but for the Grace of God, go I, or You, or ANYone".

I agree with what you posted.

Mel's Alcoholism may be addressed in a ReHab center and Mel may not drink again. However, his feelings about Jews will not be cured.
