Christopher Hitchens bags on Mel Gibson in Slate. Since he hates Christianity, I guess Gibson's the Fascist of Malibu now.
He says it's important to read the Reader's Digest article, then he puts words in Gibson's (and Peggy Noonan's) mouth, while leaving out others. And he just lies like a dog in general. For a brilliant guy, he made a poor factual argument and instead tried to sway by emotion (the word "Fascist" in the title is a big clue).
Anyways, here's a link I found to the Digest article and also to the Diane Sawyer interview.
