Mel Gibson's father rants against Jews By Tracy Connor NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A week before Mel Gibson's movie about Jesus Christ hits theaters, his father has gone on an explosive rant against Jews - claiming they fabricated the Holocaust and are conspiring to take over the world. "They're after one world religion and one world government," Hutton Gibson, 85, said in a radio interview. "That's why they've attacked the Catholic Church so strongly, to ultimately take control over it by their doctrine." In the interview, Gibson also said Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan should be lynched and called for the government to be overthrown. The movie star's father has made outrageous statements about the Holocaust and Jewish conspiracies before. But the timing of his latest comments is certain to fuel the uproar over his son's movie, "The Passion of the Christ," which opens Ash Wednesday. Some critics say the movie blames Jews for the death of Christ and will provoke anti-Semitism, and they question why Mel Gibson hasn't denounced his father's views. Hutton Gibson spoke Monday to Steve Feuerstein of "Speak Your Piece!" Some of his most outrageous rants focused on the Jews exterminated by Adolf Hitler. "They claimed that there were 6.2 million in Poland before the war, and they claimed after the war there were 200,000 - therefore he must have killed 6 million of them," he said. "They simply got up and left! They were all over the Bronx and Brooklyn and Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles." He said that the Germans did not have enough gas to cremate 6 million people and that the concentration camps were just "work camps." "It's all - maybe not all fiction - but most of it is," he said. Gibson repeatedly smeared prominent Jews as money-grubbing power-mongers. "Greenspan tells us what to do. Someone should take him out and hang him." Mel Gibson's spokesman, Alan Nierob, had no comment on the elder Gibson's tirade. But Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League said they were the words of a "classical anti-Semite." "If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny," he said, adding that he's troubled by Mel Gibson's failure to condemn these beliefs.

I must say that it's odd to see civil disobedience practiced so blatently by elected officials The last time you saw it was when the ACLU sued Judge Moore in Alabama. You notice how the chattering classes unloaded on him. Since they are in favor of Gay marriage, they are silent on the Mayor.
