in the end, our desired outcome is the same - lets not support the guy, and lets not obsess over him, either. Am I too far off the mark?

Not at all... see MY above "modified" post. 8-)
its no surprise to me that this has overtaken the 24 hour news channels and such. Its sensationalistic and features a well-known face.

Again we agree (see it's possible :wink: ) I think 24 hour news has been a catastrophe in screwing up people's proper perspective of what IS important. I won't go into why I feel this as it's "off-topic" but yes, their "obsessing" over the same stories over, and over, and over again are badly influencing peoples' sense of priorities.
My intent was NEVER to offend anyone.....

Nor was mine. :wink:
for the record, I was using what Lott said to make a point

I had already gven you that benefit of the doubt.

Now to end this mutual-admiration society, and hopefully end it on a note of accord, I think we all agree on the "important" point, and that is that what Gibson said was both over-the-edge, and not to be without appropriate consequences. What we've all gone overboard with, was reading between the lines in efforts to either trivialize, or lionize its import. When all is said and done.. it's irrelevant. It was a distasteful repugnant diatribe that merits the contempt it garners--end of story.... NEXT ISSUE PLEASE!

:wink:

That's why I did post those rules stormie. Thanks for editting.

Unfortunately, I don't think that we're QUITE at the point yet where we can mention Ted, Hillary, Jerry, Rush etc. without any topic going way off base. I'm just trying to be proactive, but I do understand what you were trying to say with the comparison. :wink:

i'm not so concerned about what he said because i'm not a Mel Gibson fan and his opinions dont mean a lot to me. I am concerned that he's been allegedly pulled over several times before for suspicion of DUI and not cited.
