He's a flaming liberal. I refuse to watch his movie too.
No, but I heard them on 1210am in Philly this morning. He said he liked F-9/11 and totally ripped the mission in Iraq.
Say WHAT????
If true, I'll admit that I'm as surprised as anyone.
Sometimes there is a big difference between a "social conservative" and a "conservative."
He has said this before, he wants his Hollywood friends back.
Gibson's a nut, always has been ....but makes great movies. I'm particularly fond of Mad Max!
Well, I found this :

Seems Mel is a conservative, but not crazy about the Iraq war. That I can respect though. What I can't resepet is "liking" a piece of blatant propagandistic BS such as F9/11. There is nothing that makes sense about that.
Could you ping me when you get an answer? I'm interested to know what he said, not what people think he said or what the MSM interpreted him to say.
That said, I was one of few Christians who didn't really like The Passion. It was all right, but not amazing....
Fifty posts, and you still don't have an answer, do you? Lots of opinions and hysteria, but no answer.

Until I read or see the full text, I won't assume anything. I suggest the rest of us do the same.
I think there will be some clarifications of his (Gibson's) "words" in the days to come...
As I said before, he is an anti-war conservative, pretty much always has been. He has a GREAT respect for the soldiers. He was and still is Anti-Vietnam War. Folks shouldn't be so surprised.
Who cares? I didn't care much for F911 or the Passion of the Christ. Good Lord, some people have virtually canonized Gibson for his movie - it is just a movie.
Does this qualify ?? This thread is trashtalking hearsay.
If Gibson questions the war, that's his right. If he feels a kinship with fatso and loves F911, I have no use for him.
So, Stan was right. Gibson really is a raving, greedy, egotistical lunatic?
I haven't seen F-9/11, but Gibson's alledged comment of approval of it may have been purely a professional opinion, rather than a political one.
Gibson always struck me as a Chronicles-reading Paleocon. Hence, he was against the Iraq war.
