[iemanja]

2. racists of a feather

That said, I believe he is a major creep.

[MLAA]

3. Asshole antisemite

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Fuck him.

An asshole of the highest magnitude.

[ColinC]

[AZ8theist]

11. Yes he is....

[GiqueCee]

45. Gibson is also...

[rpannier]

There. Fixed it

[johnp3907]

7. We already knew he was a Nazi.

[Aviation Pro]

8. Figures

[Silent Type]

[yonder]

10. Mad Quacks

[texasfiddler]

12. Thank God!! Wouldn't want the backing of a racist/sexual abusing dipshit.

[AZ8theist]

13. FUCK this bigoted, rascist, anti-semite SCUMBAG.

I approve this message.

[Bristlecone]

14. "Scumbag plans to vote for scumbag"

In other news, water found to be wet

[Jakes Progress]

15. Anything smart or brave or tough he has said,

was written into a movie for him. . . by union writers he would spit on.

Moron

[dalton99a]

26. +1

[ChazInAz]

39. He lost me years ago

With his two big ego-productions: "Braveheart" and "The Patriot". Utterly cringe-worthy writing, where not just the historical details, but the historical big pictures were tossed out the window to make Gibson look like a comic book hero.

[kelly1mm]

16. I give celebrity endorsements of EITHER candidate the same weight, aka NONE! I don't understand why

anyone cares what a celebrity says about politics .....

[RussBLib]

17. no, no surprise at all

...birds of a feather.

[RockRaven]

20. What exactly, in your opinion, happened to him which was undeserved?

By all means, please explain with specifics...

[RockRaven]

19. Mel Gibson is a scumbag, water is wet, the sun rises in the east.

[2naSalit]

21. Who?

[Cha]

22. Mel Gibson is an Idiot backing Shitler and Not surprised.

[ZonkerHarris]

23. I've noticed mostly unemployed has-beens of Hollywood support Trump. Gibson, Roseanne, The Quaids, Dean Cain

etc

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

44. They've been experiencing economic anxiety

[LudwigPastorius]

24. Rave-shart

I'm all for friendship and loyalty, but c'mon Jodie Foster! Ghost that shithead.

[keopeli]

25. In my opinion, this is just fox stating the obvious for their lemmings, which is hardly LBN.

No offense. I'm not accusing you of breaking the rules. I just can't stand that twerp mel and I don't think I'm alone feeling that way here in the DU community.

[JoseBalow]

27. There are few actors more repellent than that asshole

I won't watch anything he is in anymore, I've boycotted his work for years. Fuck that guy.

[diane in sf]

28. Dumb and nasty, not a surprise.

[mahina]

29. Mel who now?

Oh this is his legacy. How much did they pay you, great thought leader Mel?

Yeah, we didnt ask what you think buddy.

[4lbs]

31. Mel is the guy whose dad went overseas with him to avoid the Vietnam draft.

It seems fitting that one draft dodger would back another.

And then he makes a movie about Vietnam ("We Were Soldiers" ). LOL


Although, the NYT and its sister pub TBT don't want to label him as such (surprise, surprise).


https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2002/04/05/actor-mel-gibson-is-not-draft-dodger/

As explained in Current Biography Yearbook, Gibson, 46, was born in Peekskill, N.Y., the sixth of 11 children. Fearing that his older sons soon would be drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to fight in Vietnam, his father, Hutton Gibson, a brakeman for the New York Central Railroad, decided to immigrate with his wife and children to Australia, the homeland of his mother, Eva Mylott, an opera singer. Mel was 12 at the time.


PO-tat-o Po-TAT-o.

[mwb970]

32. Ahole.

[Roy Rolling]

33. Fvck him

I’ll never watch any of his work again. Knuckle-dragger. Supporting a**holes like Gibson is why royalties and entitlements for above-the-line employees is a bad idea in 2024. It’s just (bad) business.

[Skittles]

34. omg a racist and misogynist admires Trump

STOP THE PRESSES

[RealityCheque]

35. And the hypocrisy continues...

The actor who played what role in The Passion of Christ?

Once again we see the deluded confusion of the Christian right heretics.

Hey Mel, maybe you and trump and Franklin Graham could go back and watch the movie you made a bundle off of and sit completely confused about the main character.

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. Fox, of course, doesn't mention his convictions for DUI (plus antisemitic rant) or assault of his girlfriend

both of which happened more recently than 'Braveheart' or 'Lethal Weapon', which did make it into their characterisation of him.

[LilElf70]

37. Toopid is as toopid does

What an idiot. Toopid people just don't get it.

[LymphocyteLover]

38. of course! What scumbag doesn't back trump?

[mdbl]

40. Gibson is one weird F##cker

[Blue for the win]

41. Hulk

ROFL, he's just hulk hogan with a bible

[twodogsbarking]

42. They are made for each other. Both cut from the same turd.

[marmar]

43. Racist antisemitic misogynist asshole backs racist antisemitic mysogynist asshole....

Quelle surprise!

All that "Hitler did some good things" talk probably got Mel excited.

[4th]

46. But seriously folks, is anyone really influenced by show biz celebrity endorsements either way? n/t

[Beowulf42]

47. Suspicions Confirmed

And this is exactly why I have avoided supporting any project that Mel Gibson is involved in. Ever since the famous traffic stop I have been convinced he is a bigot and a chauvinist. I hope his choice of Trump encourages thousands to support VP Harris in the coming election. America must support tolerance and intelligence in its search for our nation's leadership.

[harpua74]

48. Did Nazi that coming.....

Hitler fanboys stick together!

Absolutely every anti-Semitic thing Mel Gibson has ever said*

https://forward.com/culture/449521/mel-gibson-anti-semitism-timeline-winona-ryder/

*as of June 2020

[kimbutgar]

49. Since 2016 I change the channel when one of his movies comes on

He is a jerk in real life according to someone I met recently who knows him.

[milestogo]

50. I thought he was Australian.

Why do we let these stupid immigrants in our country?

[Funtatlaguy]

52. So was Rupert Murdoch

until he came to America and ruined journalism.

[Funtatlaguy]

51. And yet, Jodie Foster is friends

with him and helped him resuscitate his career at one time.
I really like her but I don’t understand her friendship with that creep.

[prodigitalson]

53. I actually like a lot of his films, but he is a piece of shit

I can appreciate the art of reprehensible artists. I can separate the two. I actually put that to the test with Hitler's paintings once. Made myself reaĺly evaluate them in a vacuum. My conclusion was that it wasn't any good. It was stuff I, someone who isn't a painter at all, couldn't do. But I personally know painters who are way better than he was. Some are high school students.

[catbyte]

54. Of course he does.

Yo, Mel,

[marble falls]

55. All Road Warriors, Year of Living Dangerously, Tim, Payback, We Were Soldiers, Man without a Face ...

... I can watch those without remembering it's "that" Mel Gibson.

[The_Counsel]

56. Keep Calm, Y'all. All This Is Is a Conservative "Coming Home."

GOP is gonna GOP. Most of them will.

The likes of Lynn Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are supporting Harris, despite ideological differences. But the majority of Republicans are supporting Trump because they always vote for their party. It is what it is.

Those of us who actually still want a free country after 1/20/25 will vote Kamala Harris. If we all vote that way we'll be in the majority and she'll be the one sworn in on that day, not the orange cretin.

[TommieMommy]

57. Another one with 💩 for brains

[oasis]

58. Mel gets no respect from me. Shithead s.o. b.

Boycott anything he’s connected with.

[Mysterian]

59. Who?

Wasn't he in some movies a long time ago?

[raccoon]

60. I thought he was an Australian, is that right? Whether or no, who cares about his opinion?

[tavernier]

61. If I wasn't a Harris voter before,

I would be now. He is repulsive enough to bring at least a few to Kamala/Walz.

[cadoman]

62. over-rated, bigoted, machismo, fascist shithead

I'd announce a boycott but I was already avoiding this anti-Semitic fucker like the plague.

[jeffreyi]

63. Here ya go, classic
