First the Jews, now Bush and Iraq. Has Mel been channeling Pat Buchanan?

He's really good at kicking around the few friends he has left.

I wonder how quickly those FReepers who urged forgiveness for Mel's anti-Semetic remarks will abandon him now that he's come out against the Iraq War.

No surprises here. He's expressed this view before, though some chose to look the other way because they liked his last movie.

He's gone down at least two levels in my estimation. But this time he wasn't even drunk.

Will he ask for forgiveness this time?

I was wondering how he was going to get back into the good graces of the Hollywood crowd. A good career move, but I thought he was made of better stuff.

Just because a guy makes a movie about Jesus Christ does not mean he embodies Christlike attitudes or doesn't have serious personality disorders or is not filled with hate.

I have never admired this angry, narcissistic, intolerant and greedy man. ( I also don't like him). Most of his movies show his rage. It is possible to make a movie about the passion and death of Christ without the gratutious violence that puts it on the level of a snuff film.

The Mel Gibson themes just keep on...the narcissism, the greediness, and of course the rage. Note his bizzare comment re similarity of Mayan and American societies..." HUMAN SACRIFICE ".

The guy is sick, sick, sick~!
(later, I will tell you what I really think of him!)

I think he was looking for an easy way out of the kess he originally created w/o having to have to visit every rabbi in the world and beg forgiveness

"But this time he wasn't even drunk."

Wait until the figures come in on this movie.

I posted on another Mel site and give Mel the benefit of being human, living in California and in the Hollywood venue but as to his human sacrifice reference, I have not heard him complain about abortion and if that isn't a human sacrifice then I don't know what is.
This is always the problem with speaking out loud; You have to be without conflicting logic.

Mel Gibson is an entertainer. Let's not expect too much from him regarding politics.

Right. But you would've thought he had learned something from Braveheart.

This shouldn't be surprising to anybody. Traditionalist catholics are (generally) paleocons.

Did Mel hire Dixie Chick Fat Nat to be his new P.R. person?

Likewise.

And I'm not into watching human sacrifice.
