In all his hero-themed movies...even Mad Max, the Patriot, Braveheart, and so on - he is playing the hero of a group who were wronged by a dominating majority. There are surely lots of Brits who didn't like the inferences... **] [**but Mel didn't rant on the many Brits who criticized that movie. That says volumes about this silly defense of having been "smeared". Where is this so-called smear, other than in a racist (juvenile) mentality?**] There was an unrelenting campaign, lasting for months, by the ADL and other Jewish organizations to paint the movie, and, therefore, Gibson, as anti-semitic. You can go to any search engine and find references. Naturally, the smear included mention of his father's dislike of Jews. Yet you pretend that the criticisms by Brits of Braveheart, if they really exist, are comparable to the shit that Jews threw at Gibson for months, simply because he had the gall to make a movie about the founder of his religion. His rant against Jews is quite understandable given their smears against him. [**...some of this paternal garbage has got to rub off on any kid - but it is no excuse at age 50 to have not "gotten over it".**] No doubt you have never met Gibson and can only guess about the kind of man he is and about how he was formed. Certainly, nobody completely 'gets over' the experiences of childhood, good or bad, but not getting over it isn't 'juvenile' and it is ludicrous to say that it is. You decided to casually smear Gibson by referring to him as juvenile, and now try to justify it by further smearing him as a child of his father, somewhat like the situation in Stalinist Russia, where the children of an 'enemy of the people' were treated like second-class citizens, if they themselves didn't end up in the gulag. [**and owe most of your considerable wealth and success to the very Jewish-named businessmen who control some of the movie industry...**] It's obvious that Gibson owes his wealth and success to his own abilities. By the way, what is it with 'Jewish-named' and 'control some'? What a strange view of reality you seem to have. Why not just say that Jews control the movie industry? Even Jews say it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail. http://new.mail.yahoo.com
