Wow, this article was a shock to stumble into; it is called:
"Why are we crucifying Mel Gibson?
The actor's drink-fuelled outburst was odious but should not blind us to other, more dangerous, zealots "
"...Meanwhile, the fuss about Gibson's outburst has eclipsed less famous prophets, such as the Rev John Hagee. A Texan televangelist, Hagee recently told a meeting of Christian Zionists that the attacks on Lebanon are 'a miracle of God'. Several senators attended his symposium, at which he received a personal message of praise from President Bush.
Jews and Christians should be ignoring Gibson and denouncing the crackpot views of Hagee and his millions of disciples. They, not he, are the ushers on the road to Armageddon. Leave Gibson to his Latin masses, his tequila twilight and his demons and hope that he gets well. He is no threat to anyone except those blind enough to imagine they get some moral kudos from reviling a man high on the lethal cocktail of God and liquor."
