TV reviewer Tom Shales, one of the more blatant members of the left-wing thought police at the Washington Post, says you can take it from him: Mel Gibson is going to hell.
In his review today of ABC's latest movie, he writes: "TV Guide reports that 'Judas' was made in 2001 but was salted away by ABC executives who feared the film would offend fundamentalists. ...
"Unlike Mel Gibson's notorious 'The Passion of the Christ,' ABC's movie seems happily lacking in anti-Semitic aspersions. Writer Tom Fontana, whose impressive credits include the uncompromising 'Oz' on HBO, has Pontius Pilate's wife tell her husband, as the assassination of Jesus is plotted on Palm Sunday: 'Fix it so the Jews themselves are held responsible.'
"It might have been better still if the conversation had continued with Pilate scoffing, 'Who'd believe that?' and his wife replying, 'You can always find a few bigots and idiots who'll believe anything.' Regardless, the Big Lie was born, and two millennia later, Gibson would find a way to recycle it and gross more than $200 million in the process. Surely his parking space in Hell has already been reserved."
Yep, that's the sort of thing the anti-religious fundamentalists of the left are writing these days in America's biggest newspapers.
