I like Mel Gibson and I love the conservative messages in his recent movies like Brave heart.
He has made the best, and the most pro American Vietnam war movie ever made.
His movie on the last hours of the Lord Jesus Christ's last hours is unmatchable in Hollywood history, and will endure far past his lifetime.
He is an alcoholic and got busted again for drunk driving.
So far I'm shocked at the viscousness of the feelings many on FR have towards him.
I think the liberals will be even worse in their responses, so it will be interesting to see how a DUI charge unfolds for the Hollywood directer that would dare to make "Passion of the Christ".
Before he made his pro Christian movie, nobody would have predicted that the popular movie star Mel Gibson would become a hated figure to much of the power establishment in Hollywood and opinion makers in the media.
So how is one supposed to feel when Gibson blames Jews for all the wars in the world, and even asks the arresting deputy if he's a Jew?
Or that he is going to sexually molest the arresting deputy?
Perhaps his next movie will be "Brokeback Station House."
viscousness of the feelings
Who ARE you??? It's just crazy to call the responses here "vicious" (not viscous!)
viscous |?visk?s| adjective having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid; having a high viscosity : viscous lava.
Vicious is killing or maiming, etc. Vicious is not being suspicious of an espoused (though drunk) Jew hater.
Grow up.
Why? If you've been here for any length of time, you'd realize that FReepers tend to take a pretty firm law-and-order stance when it comes to endangering the public (e.g. by drunk driving).
Add the embarrasment and anger of those FReepers who feel like chumps because they defended Gibson from the charge of anti-Semitism in the past, and this response is quite predictable.
