"Adolph Wasn't Understood!"

Mel Gibson, wow, what a path of self destruction he has taken. Mel, just a few years ago, was the sweetheart of Christians around the world. His version of the "Passion of the Christ" was so well received in the Christian community, he was practically canonized. The film made a billion dollars, and played to packed theatres. I attended with a church group, and as a student of the bible, I found it factual and compelling.

Not long after Mel's success with the "Passion" he fell from grace. Mel, who has admitted to problems with addictive behavior, got drunk and was arrested. During the course of his arrest, he made statements about Jews that were less than "complimentary"; revealing a side to Mel that was less than attractive. Recently, Mel has been involved in alleged domestic abuse. Once again, Mel let his mouth run and showed a side we didn't want to see. "Drunk and stupid is no way to get through life" was said in the movie "Animal House", that is a pretty good axiom. Our words have a tendency to follow us around for a very long time.

Last Sunday, Oliver Stone was being interviewed and said some things that will follow him around for a very long time.

Stone, a long time admirer of Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan dictator, is best known for his film "Platoon" about a soldier in the Viet Nam war. He also is responsible for the film "JFK", a compilation of rumor, fantasy and spurious conjecture. If you ever want to waste three hours of your life, rent this movie.

In his latest interview,he made these remarks, "Hitler was an easy scapegoat" and the "Jewish domination of the media" has kept people from a proper picture of Hitler. He wasn't drunk when he said this; maybe he's just stupid. Another statement was that "He (Hitler) was Frankenstein, but there was also a Doctor Frankenstein; German industrialists, the Americans and the British, he had a lot of support." From this statement, I realized that Mr. Stone is talking out of his BUTT! If he had any real knowledge of Hitler, he would know that Hitler played the German industrialists like a violin; that was his plan from the beginning (Rise and Fall of the Third Reich); check it out for yourself. British support, don't make me laugh. After Chamberlain screwed up in Munich, the British had immediate remorse. Churchill was an early critic of Hitler, recognizing him as a monster, even before he became Prime Minister of England.

It seems apparent to me that Oliver Stone is just enamored with dictators. I'm surprised he didn't defect to North Viet Nam during the war. Chavez, Castro and Mao are some of his heroes. Now, his anti-Semitic (he is part Jewish) attitude, has been revealed for everyone to see. He made a clumsy apology about his remarks, but the toothpaste is out of the tube. America now can see him for who he is, and it's not good for Ollie!

Mel was drunk and stupid; what is Mr. Stone's excuse? We should all remember this the next time we choose to go to any of his films. He has a poisoned mind. Don't let him infect you!
