"Why on earth is he slamming the people who supported him?"

Simple. He does not need us any more. The Passion of the Christ was a religious movie. Hollywood does not like Religious Movies when the Religion is Christianity. Hollywood gave him a hard time as did the MSM. The made it clear the movie would be shunned by the Hollywood powers that be. Gibson needed us for the Passion. To sell this new movie, he needs Hollywood. In order to get back in good graces, he needed to make it seem that the theme of the movie was anti-Bush. Hollywood loves anti-Bush stuff and therefore will help him promote the movie. It has nothing to do with principle and everything to do with money. The only Actor in the past 50 years who was not about money was Charlton Heston. Gibson does not have what it takes to be like Heston. Therefore he will promote this move as having an anti-Bush message and Hollywood and the MSM will eat it up. I am a Gibson fan (Braveheart, The Passion, etc). I will not see this new movie. I don't like movies with Anti-Bush themes. Apocalypto could be the Brokeback Bush movie of 2006. Hooray for Hollywood!!!
