Patrick Nielsen-Hayden raises some interesting points about Mel Gibson, his family and his racism, sexism and homophobia.
According to the News, Gibsonreluctantlyremoved, from his weirdo ultramontaine Jesus movie, a particularly lurid scene involving Jewish high priest Caiaphas.I wanted it in,he said.But, man, if I included that in there, they'd be coming after me at my house, they'd come kill me.
Yeah,they.With their hooked noses, their interest payments, and their take-out Chinese food. Will their wickedness ever end? Quite the paragon, Mel Gibson.
Still, there's postitive news. Via the same source is this article about the effects of fundies actually paying attention to the words and actions attributed to Jesus, and becoming radicalised about the treatment of the poor in Alabama. Mel Gibson, Christian. I want to kill him. I want his intestines on a stick...I want to kill his dog.

Probably worth noting: While it was Patrick, in Electrolite, who was talking about Gibson, it was Teresa, in Making Light, who wrote about the fundies and poor people.

Teresa discusses it at length here: http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/003424.html#003424 and the comments are worth reading, but I first noticed the story in Partick's Sidelights because my links are in alphabetical order.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
