Oh, my. That 25% thing.
He mentioned he was in Guadalcanal and had malaria. My father was in Guadalcanal, doing malaria control. (Skeeter Beaters). He got malaria, too. He joined before Pearl Harbor as well. I wonder if he ever ran into this guy....
It appears Gibson's comments have exposed other seething emotions. Please let us know when Variety prints that you've collected your pound of flesh.
No doubt he said something, but MSNBC as a source? Get real!!!
My "Dan Rather" moment is continuing on into the wee hours of the morning.
Gad.
First of all, nobody called me from Variety...they just came here and picked the quotes...having no idea I am Jewish. Secondly...I LOVED GIBSON...I own Braveheart...can honestly say that movie is one of my all time favorite...I've seen it probably 15 times. I saw the PASSION OF THE CHRIST the first day it opened...so please don't speak of things you know nothing about.
We must read "trigger words" (as they are known down on the "block") differently.
My only emotion is that he revealed himself as a Jew-Hater.
How funny.
The who's a Jew game has been gone for awhile, long before the last Gibson controversies as I recall.
Posters stating that Jews posting here should be identified.
Others stating ther are more Christians in this country than Jews, the Jews better watch out.
I've been smacked around a bit for being a Jew, plenty of Christians on my list have been smacked for being Jews, I tend to notice these things, but I never knew Hildy was a Jew.
As though it matters, but how does that taint her opinion.
I suppose Variety should inquire about religion, before not identifying non-identified posters.
Next time, on the conservative forum Freerepublic, A JEW SAID.
As though that's important on conservative forums.
Hildy, my apologies, I don't know you, I haven't posted much to you, it sucks to have to have to say these things, but you were the topic. Whatever your faith, it's irrelevant to most Americans, even most freepers.
Veronica, your number I have. :>)
My question was, are those the threads where she was quoted in Variety? I'm not trying to make you go looking stuff up and searching; but I'm wondering if you're right that Variety knows that Hildy is Jewis and quoted her as a Christian anyway.
Gibson's been picked up for DUI at least twice and has talked openly, like Kennedy, about his battle with substance abuse.
What the heck are you talking about ???
I've never said any such thing
ROFL
It's good that you can keep your sense of humor.
I guess you haven't read Gibson's apology. I believe, and someone will correct me if I'm wrong, that he admits to saying terrible things. Things he didn't mean.
And for the last time, I'll post this to you:
Gibson has some high priced attorneys, press agents and publicists. Do you honestly believe they haven't heard the news reports about what Gibson is purported to have said?
If they didn't agree with those news reports, or if Gibson denied he said those things, they wouldn't have issued the apology they did and they would be sending those representatives to the cable shows.
MSNBC tonight said they contacted Gibson's "people" to ask them to respond; they declined.
Now I don't know about you, but if I was innocent of these charges and I was paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to represent my persona, I'd expect them to do a MUCH better job than to decline to defend me.
Excellent point. Also like the way you suggest that he's probably a hard-core Democratic party leftwingnut.
THE THREAD YOU ARE REFERRING TO WAS A VANITY THAT WAS MEANT TO BE FUNNY...haha haha...community service at the Holocaust Museum...Why I would exect people like you to have ANY sense of humor is a flaw on my party.
I was responding to several issues, but you said
You said
Hildy made a few post mentioning that she was jewishVariety choose not to mention those posts
Did you mean to say Variety knew she was Jewish, largely irrelevan, and ommitted it? If so, I'd be curious why they did that. If that wasn't your meaning, never mind.
Sheets Byrd's racism is current. He uses the "N" word for example.
People shouldn't really be bothering with the Pat Buchanan threads anyway.
It's the big story of the week...why shouldn't I talk about it? It's been a real eye opener of what people here really think...and the hypocracy is breathtaking.
The W-N word.
I'll never forget that interview, only cause my wife said "he didn't say that", and the racist *astard said it again.
