July 9, 2010 \ DIVERSE NEWS \- In this audio tape exclusive from radaronline.com has Hollywood actor, Mel Gibson, using the n-word which is not a crime but aligned with political correctness.
It sounds like a scripted argument from a provocative movie. But is it or was the recording legal?
In many states, it is illegal to record someone’s telephone conversation. I asked this question to the FBI before, and an agent told me that in order for someone to record a telephone conversation with someone else, they actually would need written authorization as it is a federal crime under wiretaps.
So, is this just a provocative stunt to have Mel in the news again? I mean, with all his money and past problems with the police with the ‘Jews’ incident, it makes you wonder if he’s just trying to get press.
He is apparently being dumped by big time WME Entertainment.
One thing I know, all Hollywood is a fantasy land with scripts and cues even in the actors personal lives. I grew up with many Hollywood movies using the N-word and the actors were never censored.
I believe some folks have got it in for Gibson.

WASHINGTON, July 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The American Legion expressed outrage today over revelations that a VA medical center may have exposed veterans to serious infections through improperly cleaned dental equipment.
Because cleaning protocols were not followed by workers at the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis, more than 1,800 veterans may have been exposed to HIV and hepatitis viruses. Those veterans recently received letters from the VA center, warning them of possible exposure to the diseases and offering screening and support.
“This is an extremely serious problem that has happened before and will happen again unless VA ensures strict adherence to proper sanitation and sterilization protocol,” said Clarence Hill, The American Legion’s national commander.
“We’re talking about people who have risked their lives, who have lost arms and legs and who are suffering mentally and emotionally – because they served their country honorably.
“They should have no misgivings about getting treatment at VA facilities, and they wouldn’t if VA ensured that its staff were following the medical protocols already in place. It’s management’s responsibility to make sure the protocols are followed. This is a failing on the part of management that should not be excused,” Hill said. Read More »
