MEL Gibson, a devout Catholic, is expecting the establishment media to come after him now that he

our spies say the New York Times is leading the Gibson investigation.

Is he being serious, or just taking a jab at the Post's main competition? Maybe its Mo Dowd, chasing around another good looking leading man.

but when you start picking on my family when I’m out of town, you know, get ready."

It should be interesting to see the 'for what' part of this. I bet that gibson will land a much needed libel suit on someone.

They showed some screenshots of the images Mel intends to portray of the crucifiction of Jesus Christ. It was painful to look at. There must be many who are fearful about this movie being produced and released at this time. It could have an exceptionally profound effect on our society and view of Christianity. Hard to describe what I felt seeing the first graphic image. I imagine this movie could potentially turn many to Christ.

[Claire Voyant]

The New York Times is ANTI-CHRISTIAN!!! Totally!

No one's perfect, and Mel Gibson has doubtless stumbled from time to time in his life.

But, on balance, he manifests an uncommon degree of right-mindedness while using his considerable talent to succeed in an industry that relentlessly selects against decency.

Nothing that the village idiots in the 'media' paint on the walls with their excrement will influence my opinion of Mel Gibson in the slightest.

Several of us saw this on O'Reilly last night. Gibson said that the reporter was "sent."

We don't think Gibson meant the reporter was sent by Howell Raines. We all got the impression, from Mr. Gibson's facial expression and vocal tone, that he meant "sent by Satan."

Honestly, when he said it it made the hair on my neck stand up. I think he was dead serious.

Where?

[angkor]

I read somewhere that Gibson has a chapel on his L.A. property and practices the Catholic mass every day.

[RightOnline]

I think Mel is quite right. Anyone who tries to paint Christianity...........that most non-politically correct of all major world religions...............in a positive light is immediately suspect, a zealot, a racist right-winger, and "maniacal Bible thumper".

Wanna know what else? It won't matter.

God will not be mocked, and He will continue to use Mel for His will; His purposes, and He will protect him. I suggest we hold Mel, his family, and his friends up for some serious prayer, for they will come under serious attack from numerous quarters.

[mystery-ak]

I see you're up bright and early.

I have to ditto what Miss Marple said....watching Mel's eyes when he mentioned that he thinks someone was *sent* gave me shivers....
The powers of evil are at work everywhere.

[Miss Marple]

I am up so early I couldn't remember who had seen this and agreed with me, other than A Citizen Reporter! I am SO glad you saw my post!

Do you remember who the fourth one was?

At any rate, I hope this gets repeated on Fox today. It was well worth watching.

[KeyWest]

The Times does not understand Christianity and the change that Christ makes in your life. You could probably dig up dirt on any Christian and what they were before. What is real is what are they now and what they are letting Christ make them into.

I am sure the NYT wants to show Gibson's wild youth and say "How can someone who did this portray Christ?"

He can because that is not who he is now.

[mystery-ak]

Make that 5....mware and rep-always.....

[Cvengr]

Well, IMHO, the NYT would qualify as tabloid journalism over the past 12 years.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

We don't think Gibson meant the reporter was sent by Howell Raines. We all got the impression, from Mr. Gibson's facial expression and vocal tone, that he meant "sent by Satan."

The chances that a reporter "sent by satan" would be employed by Howell Raines are probably pretty high.

I have not seen the pics, but I have heard it is intense. Gibson should really be commended for taking a stand for Christ by investing in such a production. God bless him and his family and hopefully God will keep the demons of liberal media at bay.

[glory]

Does anyone know where we can let Mel and his family know that they are lifted in prayer?

You could probably dig up dirt on any Christian and what they were before. What is real is what are they now and what they are letting Christ make them into.

Amen, their intention is to paint Christians as hypocrits because of previous actions. They don't understand that being transformed by Christ makes you clean of those past sins and totally capable in His name to do battle against those past demons and help turn others from them and to Him.

"...I read somewhere that Gibson has a chapel on his L.A. property and practices the Catholic mass every day..."

I believe that Mel Gibson is a good and decent man.

We could use several million just like him...

In every state of the union.
