First Mel made a big deal on Hannity and Colmes about no WMD. Then Mel was on Sean Hannity's radio show the day before the 2004 election and after repeated attempts by Sean, Mel refused to endorse Bush.
Now, cozying up to Michael Moore. This is VERY bad.
So now Fat Bastard is a "practicing Catholic" (we already know he's a life NRA member) and Mel is coming out against the Iraq war, hmmm. Could they have taken a ride in the Starship Enterprise transformer together during an ion storm?
well, guess I don't have to shell out the money for the DVD of the Passion now. Works for me.
Or maybe they both got a little tipsy and tried out Dr. Seth Brundle's teleportation booths for a lark and the wires arced slightly.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Mel Gibson is a PaleoCon, a la Pat Buchanan.
Hollywood people should just stick to making movies.
Bravegirth
The Unpatriot
We Were Never Soldiers
He and his movies are off my watch list, permanently.
He is. Spiritual conservative that is, and I think he earned his colors better than any contemporary I know of - including the pope - regarding his religious beliefs.
Is Gibson just another Hollywood commie freak? I really don't think so. Ask Lt. Col. Hal More ( We Were Soldiers ) what he thinks of Gibson's patriotism, before mob rule sets in on this thread.
From where I stand The Passion of the Christ solidified the Christian vote against Kerry, and Stolen Honor locked in the veteran/patriot vote for Bush....both of which were the ONLY reasons why there will be a Republican in the White House, January 21st.
Mel Gibson has earned public support for his work the hard way. Cut 'em a little slack. He's all aces from where I stand.
Yeahhh...I see a buddy movie with Mel Gibson and Michael Moore.
Mel throws Moon Pies like Frisbees and Mike tries to catch them.
Men who drive a truck for a living have better experience than a Hollywood movie star when it comes to understanding war and peace. Many of them are veterans, even if they never pretended to be one on the big screen. Gibson's not a commie, that's for sure. But he does have some answering to do if he claims to be a "spiritual conservative". How does he explain movies like "what women want" then?
i think ole mel is angleing for an oscar and he knows theres no way in hell he is going to get it for a movie about jesus unless he starts leaning left but after the oscors are over hewill swing back around to the right again
"What Women Want" was a great movie! What are you complaining about?
On the war in Iraq, Gibson is a devout Catholic. In case you missed it, the Pope was/is opposed to the war in Iraq. So first you have to convince the Pope that the war in Iraq was a "just war", and then you will find Mel Gibson thinks it is a "just war" as well.
You really need to make use of the information available on the internet.
There are two camps in Roman Catholicism. Traditional ( conservative ) and Modern ( socialists ). Mel Gibson is up front about his support for Traditional Catholicism. He used his own money to build a church for the express purpose of giving the community an opportunity to participate in a 'traditional' Roman Catholic Holy Mass.
What Women Want was a romantic comedy. After an accident, a chauvinistic executive ( Gibson ) gains the ability to hear what women are really thinking. It was a funny movie.
Mel Gibson is a solid American.
So what's the beef?
Mel doesn't recognise the pope. He's the old kind of Catholic, services in Latin.
yeah i was a little miffed too
he probably is trying to appease Hollywood or some nonsense.
Fox did a little diddy on Hollywood Republicans and Mel was listed as was Robert Duvall (happy about that one), and the usual suspects such as Bruce Willis, Tom Selleck, Kelsey Grammar and a about two others. This Moore thing really has me agitated though
I believe Mel is also friends with Bill O'Reilly which explains ALOT. He makes O'Reilly's talking points.
But then, I'm a big believer of the following negotiation position:
1. Your knee in the Enemy's gut.
2. Your knife at his thoat.
Negotiating points:
You have a choice: (a) do it our way, or (b) take a long dirt nap. . .
Although, I do love Mel Gibson. :)
