I'm guessing they're less angry than they are jealous of the attention and the money. It's all about the money

I think you are right. They are jealous. And now they are exposed as also anti-free speech, anti-relgion bigots who have an agenda to promote. Here is someone they cannot control.

re: about the money.

I really don't believe so--they've money past all imagining. What the rich want, after all that money, is to spend the rest of their lives congratulating themselves on their wonderfulness. I know a few rich people...

They hate Mel because he didn't ask permission--they had no opportunity to approve of him. They can't do anything now, but hate him.
