Mel Gibson's mainstream Hollywood career is over -- for real, this time
L.A Times ^ | July 9th, 2010

Posted on 07/11/2010 3:59:49 PM PDT by TaraP

It's interesting to try to divine the chicken-and-egg of Mel Gibson's firing by WME last week: Was it his (first-alleged, now aurally proved) misogynistic and racist comments that enabled the agency to part ways with him, or was it the death of longtime agent Ed Limato that did the trick?

Earlier today the news surfaced that William Morris Endeavor had split with Gibson last week-- as Limato lay seriously ill, and just several days after Radar Online broke the news that Gibson had verbally abused his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva by using the N-word. (The reports were just that until today, when audio of the Gibson incident was released on Radar.)

There's of course a third variable in all this -- the fact that Gibson just wasn't much of a bankable star anymore anyway.

The only comment supportive of the practice of slavery was posted by you, Trumandogz;

On post number 425, on this thread, Trumandogz posted "The Bible says that a slave should be set free after only six years"

Based on this comment, Trumandogz clearly supports slave trade. Does anyone expect the Truman "the craven" dogz to explain his position?

“Yup. It’s all about YOU! Had enough attention for today? Crave more? Make more comments that are anti-American. Twist what others say. You may even get a Mods attention.”

Excuse me.

But, that has been others who have said those hateful things about me such as that I hate Jews, that I beat my wife, that I’m a racist and that I do not deserve to be an American citizen.

I’m sorry but it seems you do not understand that I was quoting the Bible and needless to say no one here wrote those words in the Bible.

So, you believe it is okay to hold slaves as long as you do not hold Hebrew slaves for more than six years?

Getting lost or twisting again?

Your Post 408

No, America cannot absolve itself from its violation of the Laws of God and the crimes against humanity from the days of slavery.

You claim slavery is a violation of Gods law. I asked you in Post 410: Btw, where in the Bible does Jesus speak out against slavery?

You have yet to answer.

To get to me all you need to do to get to my home from where you stay is to head North on Telephone Road, and then head west on 610 South and then go north on 610 West until you get to I-10 where you will go west until you get to 71 and you can follow 71 all the way to Austin where you will hit Loop 1 where you will head north and exit on Windsor Road.

Neighbor!

I’m a seditionist because I stated that I believe that slavery in America was evil?

No, you're a seditionist because you support slavery, per your post #425.

You also refuse to condemn modern day slavery in Africa and the middle east. Why do you support slavery? Shouldn't this evil practice end?

The Bible places limitations on slavery and those in America failed to follow those limitations.

No. YOU brought up ethnicity in post 429:I can only assume you guys do not believe I deserve American citizenship due to what you perceive my ethnicity to be.

I responded in 436: Yup. It's all about YOU!

I have condemned slavery wherever and whenever it has taken place in the world and the slave holder today in Sudan is no different than the slave holder in Mississippi in 1861.

Don’t try to redefine the issues.

Answer my previous posts or STFU.

Close of business CST is only an hour away.

And that's your justification for supporting slavery?

You disgust me!

Are you one of those false Christians in Rev Phelp's congregation who go to soldiers funerals with signs saying "God hates fags" and "God Kills Soldiers to Punish America?"

What is wrong with you people?

I’m sure you can walk right outside your house to a phone booth on Telephone Road and call ICE and give them my screen name and they will have no trouble finding me here in West Austin.

I can only assume you guys do not believe I deserve American citizenship due to what you perceive my ethnicity to be.

If that is your perception so be it as I don't care what your ethnicity is. I just know that you hate America and if you were ever given citizenship it is because you lied when repeating the oath.

Why else would you people say that I am not deserving of my American Citizenship?

And why is it that no one else is willing to say that slavery in America was evil, a disgrace and a crime against humanity?

And you're cool with it as long as it ends at six years.

How can you look at yourself in the mirror? How do you even live with yourself?

Don't you realize these poor people are kept in inhumane conditions, often in chains, without adequate food or medical care?

Is this something you would want for your children?

Shame on you!

First why would I use a phone on Telephone Road and second why would ICE recognize a goofy pseudonym?

Is your deportation already in the works?

And the only one in this discussion who has stated that Slavery in America was an evil institution and must never be forgotten.
