Tape of Mel Gibson telling ex-girlfriend "that it would be her fault if she were raped" released

We make heroes out of people like this because they can act or direct a movie, but in real life, they prove themselves to be selfish, thinking they are above everyone else. Gibson left his family, started another one and then "allegedly" said it would be his girlfriend's fault if she were raped. What kind of a man thinks this way? Yet this man was among the many celebrities treated as if they should be held up as someone to honor? For what? Pretending he is something he isn't? He played heroes in movies, on a pretend set with a script and a director telling him what to do, how he should sound and look.

That's the problem in this country when we care more about a minority of actors than we do a minority of veterans risking their lives, unselfishly, every day for this country. Celebrities make the news but TV reporters don't really seem interested in how many were killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, or stories like the one posted today on the combat veteran with 4 small kids and leukemia. They don't seem interested in how many are wounded, in Walter Reed or Bethesda or Haley in Tampa, or back home in our cities and towns trying to get their lives back. The difference is while celebrities make millions pretending, the troops are paid very little. I guess it's true what they say and money gets to talk.

He uses the N-word at one point, and the recording is laced with his profanity.
