		<description>paradoctor, what in the hell does blood-libelous mean?  Oh yes, I know what you mean, but do you feel the same about Tarentino, Woo, Scorcese?  What you are really saying is that you just don&#039;t care for Mel Gibson of his movies.  Of course that is your choice, but millions have loved them, yes, he made seven hundred million dollars world wide for The Passion, but what do these people know?  

Oh, and you are enjoying this spectacle?  You are saying so much more about yourself than you are about Mel Gibson.  I think it is disgusting that this crap has been brought into the public by his ex girlfriend and radaronline.  

As far as the &quot;evidence&quot;, as I have already said several times, why don&#039;t you wait until the real evidence is evaluated, which will be in the courtroom.  In case you don&#039;t know, that is where we do it in this country.  Mr. Gibson and his ex have been ordered by the court not to speak about this case, and Mr. Gibson is the only one following the judges orders.  

Regardless whether you know it or not, you know NOTHING about this case, and won&#039;t know anything until everything has been litigated in court.  My sources who are close to the case tell me that the photos have been doctored, the tapes have been altered, and all of that will come out.  

But in the meantime, enjoy your fun at other people&#039;s expense paradoctor.  

Oh and paradoctor if Mel Gibson&#039;s movies are so bad and boring, why don&#039;t you make some of your own?</description>

		<description>Gina, making &quot;The Passion&quot; was only one of Gibson&#039;s many artistic sins. There was also &quot;The Patriot&quot; - also blood-libelous - and &quot;Apocalypto&quot;, a bloodfest, and boring too. He&#039;s been heading towards madness for a long time. 

I see the Gibson/Grigorieva fight to be a kind of asymmetrical warfare. On one side, lunacy and hundreds of millions of dollars. On the other side, desperation and a phone line connected to studio recording equipment. 

And what a show they put on! The male lead rants and pants with cinematic villiany; the female co-star (and director and producer) taunts and traps. We, the audience, are the third character in this playlet; invisible to him but visible to her; an ironic fact that turns tragedy into farce.

As for evidence, there&#039;s her chipped teeth, and her concussion. Also Sasha and the nanny were witnesses to his assault. And just listen to the tone of his voice. 

I eagerly await more news. Pass the popcorn.</description>

		<description>Can we review?

Mel Gibson&#039;s ex now under investigation for extortion.

Mel Gibson&#039;s ex&#039;s sister now under investigation for contempt of court for leaking (selling) sealed tapes to radar online.

Mel Gibson&#039;s ex under investigation for altering tapes she submitted to court, and that were released to radaronline.  

Here is a novel idea-lets see how this all plays out, and all the information is out there, before passing judgment.   Mr. Gibson and his ex have been ordered by the court not to say anything about this matter, and Gibson is the only one in this whole mess who is following the judge&#039;s orders.</description>

		<description>[...] Julian Sanchez on Goldberg: Can we review? The manifestation of Mel Gibson’s “tragic malady” in this instance is that he repeatedly roared threats to kill his estranged ex and burn down her house. And these aren’t exactly idle threats, because in what I can only assume was a terrifying exchange, he alludes to having earlier hit her hard enough to break several of her teeth—something he claims she “deserved.”  I suppose it’s accurate, in a sense, to say he’s “troubled”—there’s obviously something very badly wrong with the guy—though also unusually fortunate in that he’d have ample resources to discreetly seek counseling.

		<description>Paradoctor, you may be correct about &quot;that movie&quot; not having done him any good.  Personally, I did not have any problems with the film, I know that most people on this blog disagree with that, but you are probably correct, that in fact it was probably the worst thing to happen to him.  

But you and others like you continue with the line that Mr. Gibson, &quot;assaulted his girlfriend&quot;.  That is not at all clear, and on the contrary, his ex girlfriend, is the one who is now in legal trouble.   Can&#039;t we do Mr. Gibson the courtsey of allowing this case to come to trial? 

Haven&#039;t you been reading all the stories today about how furious the judge is at Mr. Gibson&#039;s ex, and she is right now being investigated for extortion?  

Oh, I forgot, Mr. Gibson isn&#039;t innocent until proven guilty.  He made The Passion of The Christ.</description>

		<description>Certainly Gibson&#039;s an alcoholic, and full of rage and self-pity; but not all self-pitying alcoholics assault their girlfriends. He has problems in addition to malfunctioning brain chemistry.

I think he did himself no favor by making that flagellation movie. Supposedly it was religious, but it did not help him tame his inner demons. I suspect the reverse.</description>

		<description>First off Eli, you have your facts wrong, this woman is not his &quot;wife&quot;, not that that makes any difference.  

His wife of thirty years has made a sworn statement to the court that Mr. Gibson has never engaged in any kind of abusive behavior to her or their seven children.  

It is interesting that you choose to answer only some points-there are experts not attached to the case who state the tapes have been altered and the photos have been doctored.  But why bother with details?  

And you also never answered the question as to why you feel it is fine to try this case in the media, before giving the man the chance to answer the charges?  

Oh, but I forgot!  He made a movie about Jesus!  Well, you know what Eli, THAT does 
explain everything!  You finally came to the real point.  And Mel Gibson is a bigot!

Oh, but yes, you are a liberal-one of those tolerant, open-minded one at that.  Well done!</description>

		<description>&quot;Wonder how all of you sound in the privacy of your own home? Perhaps there should be some hidden mikes on you?&quot;

In all honesty, I&#039;ve never hit, or threatened to hit my wife.  Nor have I made racially hateful remarks.  Nor have I made any movies about Jesus.  I think piling on in Mel&#039;s case is quite appropriate.

Now, as a liberal, I am certainly in favor of making excuses for him.  Just as I am for young gang-bangers.  Or anyone, really.  They are simply responding to the world they inhabit.  

That said, we are justified in establishing standards of social behavior norms.  So, in that spirit, shame on Mel.  

OK, that was fun.  Oh yeah, shame on Goldberg for being such a pompous knob.</description>
