Gibson has proven himself to be a real jerk - I hope his "fans" stop defending his nonsense and his insane rantings.
YOu got that right. Buchanan, Michael Moore and Gibson are scum.
Mel is sucking up to the far left because he wants to be "loved" by them - it will backfire. He has made a fool of himself - again.
If he wasn't before, he is now. Gibson has now said something to infuriate pretty much everybody.
I am hesitant to broach the subject, and I want to give Mel the benefit of the doubt, but it makes one wonder. Is he truly antisemitic? Do his statements about Iraq grow out of a deep mistrust of Israel and a real belief that American foreign policy in the Middle East is driven by a Jewish cabal?
Everyone always wonders if those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. No one ever seems to ask if those who remember might be misapplying it today.
Conservatives tend to go overboard in their adulations at times.
I never understood the ga-ga attitude toward Mel Gibson. He has always been anti-war and has never hidden it.
That being said, he is pro-life and is a christian.
I am still just as grateful to him for "The Passion". But he certainly has always had his liberal side.

He is anti war?
What the heck was Braveheart all about?
The glory of fighting for the overall good cause?
Freedom not mercy!

I'm guess....yea!
The intellectual vacuity that equates ritual human sacrifice with defense at risk of one's life is stunning.
It's like equating water, vodka and bleach because they're all clear liquids.
Sometimes a movie is just a movie.
Yes, Mel is anti-war as far as the War on Terror as well as Vietnam.
He's fight the British though. He doesn't like them.
