Gibson never apologised for his anti gay remarks twenty years ago..........see we have memory like an elephant, and we hold a grudge like no one else. Gibson came off like an Opus Dei freakazoid after Passion of the Christ, he ONLY attends Mass in LATIN.
NPR just covered this, with a little back story. Apparently Gibson's father was a virilent Holocaust denier. When asked back in '04 if he subscribed to his father's views, Gibson denied being anti-semitic, but left it with a cryptic, "My father has never lied to me." Also, in his Passion of the Christ, he removed the 'blood curse' against the Jews as murderers of Christ... as least the english subtitle... leaving the aramaic dialogue in.

For all the, "aw, he was just an actor being drunk, what's the big deal", I find the whole thing a bit disturbing. Would anyone here be chuckling if he'd gone on about the damn 'niggers'?

Were you as harsh when Bush-hater Alec Baldwin was "outed" for beating his wife, Kim Basinger? Or when the 70s icon Jackson Browne was tagged for beating his wife, Darryl Hannah? I doubt it.

Gibson was drunk and said some things he shouldn't have said. There is ZERO evidence that Gibson has ever ACTED inappropriately toward gays or Jews. It's not enough not to discriminate. One's mind must be pure of any heretical thought as well.

The thought police are a danger to America. They must be stopped.
