Brando went on an anti-jewish tirade on Larry King once.
He still got work,even though the films turned out bad.
If all they say is 'TMZ is reporting a story', then they can slime (if this isn't true) Gibson all day long with no risk to themselves

Supreme Court says you can be liable for pulling that stunt of repeating a story.
UPI isn't shieled from liability, as I understand it.
With intrigue, I noticed on the page a little box to the side of other reports on Gibson. Clicking the link on the "miniseries on the Holocaust," I read where he is "involved" with the making of this movie about a love story about a non-jewish boyfriend of a Dutch jewish lady, sheltered of her identity by her protector during Nazi occupation in Holland over a three year stretch.
To comment on the initial article of this thread, it is no big secret that police in the Malibu/Hollywood area have been stigmitized (true or not) as being opportunistic, awaiting the day they arrest a big star. And it should be noted Hollywood movie-making are owned and controlled by many non-orthodox jewish influences.
Having said that, let us assume there is a hint of truth in Gibson's anti-semite tirade. Having been angry at the direction of our country and the world at large for most of my adult life, I can attest that any particular "hate" for something is usually rooted in some personal experiences over a period of time.
I mean, given what we have been told of the Holocaust, and the myriad of movies showing the evil deeds of the Nazi's, we can deduce that the Jews hate the Nazi's...and probably for very good reason...Right? So, now that we have established that Jews can hate too, we can also reason that they would hate anything associated with bringing disdain upon any of their actions as a group, e.g. "Passion..."
My point is this: How does anyone even really know what goes on behind the scenes of Gibson's life? How do we know that he has not taken a strong hit of hate from jewish forces themselves? Heck, we all know that they have the power, money, and influence to perpetrate such acts; unlike any small-town, podunk, trailer trashing gentile commoner. Right?
The fact is folks, when I get angry about something, it just did not spring up out of nowhere for no reason. People get angry because something of an adverse nature happens to them. So, assuming the story is true, what was it that made him so angry, spewing the alleged epithets? THAT is the question we should be asking.
What really matters here is the truth. Conspircy theories of jewish power broking the most influencial communications industry has been around for years. The fact remains that "jews," at least for the unorthodox jews, they are not beyond reproach and they have the capacity, and means, to hate as well as anyone body else. The fact is, we are all capable of hating certain groups that we have-by experience in many cases-suffered the effects of their actions.
All I can say is this: So what? So what if it is true? Who are we to judge? You know, all of us who sit here offering up opinions when in fact, we too, hide behind our secret prejudices, covering our sins with a cloak of decency? Being a Christian, I can truly attest that I do my best to love my neighbor no matter who he is. As a matter of fact, I hold to a philosophy of trust that many say is gullible: I trust you automatically until you give me a reason not to. I believe we all deserve at least that. However, if you ever give me a reason not to trust you, and if those reasons are damaging to a point that it violates my rights or the rights of my family, jew or gentile, fat or skinny, black or white, you are scum in my book and deserve every angry feeling I can muster. While ethnicity is a shallow way to judge groups, make no mistake that SOME, let me say that again, SOME, have perfectly good reasons to hate them. IF, by chance, Gibson is one of those, the only question I would ask, if I was a reporter, is WHY? Barring all things but the truth, many of us would probably feel very uncomfortable with the answer.
Wouldn't be Mel's first. I tend to believe this story. His father is a Holocaust denier and a Jewhater. Mel say his father has never lied to him. You do the math.
What???!
Are you condoning anti-semitism? Sure sounds like it to me.
If Jews rule the world, they've been awfully nice to Mel Gibson. He's one the richest and most successful players in Hollywood. But clearly his success has not brought him peace nor happiness.
As far as his being a Jewhater, I've thought so for a long time. I hate to say I told you so, but...
Are you as sure on this one as you were that Harriet Meiers would be on the Supreme Court?
I'm not surprised. Mel was always a bit odd. But it won't be widely reported. He'll survive to keep going to doing it more.
I can relate.
Well said! I just wrote a piece (post 224) saying what you said...though from a more assertive tone, and with many more words. After posting it, I then read your post, so I wanted to compliment you in saying it more concise than I did. I only hope that the sound-bite mentality on this thread pick up on it as well as I did.
Some of the things he is supposed to have said sound like they came right out of Louis Farrakhan's mouth. Or Cindy Sheehan's. I have every right to judge them, and him.
Very successful people in Hollywood are surrounded by yes-men and sycophants. They begin to believe their own PR. They feel invincible. Directors in particular can be autocratic and spoiled. They are kings in their world (the movie set) and they don't like being challenged.
I should not even dignify your response with mine, but your yellow journalistic technique (whether aware of it or it) is a classic example of the sound bite mentality that prevails in forums such as these. You took one small piece and deem me of condoning anti-semitism without taking into account the WHOLE of the context. Regardless, I could really care less what it "sounds like" to you.
Not all of a sudden. For a long time Gibson was known for his rowdy behavior, drinking, gay bashing.
Or someone- or somebodies- Jewish have decided to try destroy the man, probably for making a movie like the Passion.
Jews held open his mouth and poured liquor down his gullet?
It sounds made up. Like someone didn't like The Passion of The Christ.
You decide
You decide, it's too early in the morning for this.
Good morning everyone:D
So...lemme get this straight: if--in Gibson's mind--a Jew screwed him at some point, then it's OK to hate them all? Is that "WHY?"
I call BS until this is corroborated by other media.
When it's corroborated by other media then you will know it' s barbra streisand. :)
Thank you. I'm a terrible typist so I usually try to say things as quickly as possible. ;-)
I'm nearly 60 years old and have experienced and observed "flaws" in people's characters for some time. Having had two parents take their own lives, dad when I was 13 and mother 18 years later, I have been quite absorbed in the study of our minds.
Sometimes, no matter if you recognize them or not, these "flaws" just seem to be caused by one's chemistry or genes ..... or both. That's when it is tough.
I'm not making excuses for folks, I just know how hard it is to totally subdue a seemingly destructive "tragic flaw".
Mel is a very nice guy. In my opinion, he really has to be careful now in this time of his life. I worry about him now. I think he needs to get away from serious thought and go away with the family. Stay in the woods somewhere...... paint, chop wood, teach a dog how to be a friend. I love this guy, but he has a problem that is beating on him.
****
I was praying for the good horse,Barbaro. Now I'll add Mel to that list.
:-)
