   am I supposed to agree with them?  Sheesh.  The passion play with its   
   emphasis on misery pain and torture has been the major tool for   
   anti-semites throughout the last 1500 years -- what is the point   
   otherwise?  Gibson is in love with gore and saddistic images -- a real   
   perve -- Braveheart was on the tube last night and in the first 10   
   minutes we see a small boy traumatized by walking through a hut in which   
   most of the leadership of his nation is hanging from the rafters -- he   
   grows up to be a vicious avenger --- Gibson KNOWS what these kids of   
   images are for -- to kindle hate -- and he chooses to do it.
