He's a flaming liberal. I refuse to watch his movie too.

No, but I heard them on 1210am in Philly this morning. He said he liked F-9/11 and totally ripped the mission in Iraq.

I never really bought that he was this great conservative like many here seemed to believe. This kinship comment does it for me. He's on my boycott list. He suckered a lot of people with Passion though.

See, folks, he liked Fahrenheit 9/11. Says it all. And he is not religious like he claims. I could understand a rational reason in being against the war but to praise Michael Moore and the film and attack the President's reason shows what kind of person Mel Gibson is. HE IS NO CONSERVATIVE AND HAS NEVER BEEN.

Well, that really is a disappointment. For starters, if he can't see the blatant propaganda in F9/11 he's as blind as a bat. How can you "like" propaganda? It's retarded. This is like a slap in the face for those who campaigned to get people to vote for Passion of the Christ.

[sui generis]

1. well that made my day!

I just love it when those evil little people withhold their love. It hurts so good.

[Cooley Hurd]

2. Personally, after being pissed at Mel for so many years...

...because of his RW views, I'm actually happy he said what he said because now I can watch Mad Max again.;)

[bluestateguy]

3. I think Mel Gibson is more of a paleo-conservative

In the mold of Pat Buchanan or Paul Criag Roberts. For the next four years those guys are our allies.

[mattclearing]

6. You are right. And that is sad.

I hate finding myself agreeing with everything Buchanan says about the Iraq war. It makes me feel somewhat dirty.

[Pepperbelly]

50. what do you base that observation upon?

I have seen no reason to believe him a conservative other than his rather strict religious beliefs. I have never heard any remark from him that demonstrated anything other than being a decnet guy who lives his own brand of religion. Never heard him try to push it off on anyone else either.

[mimitabby]

4. lol! that is truly hilarious!

[mattclearing]

5. Looks like Mel had second thoughts about the persona he took on.

Perhaps he didn't have to stomach to be the champion of the fundamentalists after all.

Can Lethal Weapon 5 be far behind?

[Pepperbelly]

51. They championed him. He didn't ask them for shit.

People here OFTEN rush to inappropriate and factually inaccurate conclusions based upon the flimsiest of pretext. He's a filmaker, he made a film (a rather good one by some accounts), hawked his wares on the tube, and everybody else hyped it.

[tridim]

7. They were also bashing the Vatican earlier today

because a cardinal said Bush screwed up in Iraq. It must be hard work being a dumbshit flip-flopping freeper. It sure is fun to watch them squirm. They'll be bashing Bush soon.

[ET Awful]

8. LOL . . . "he is not religious like he claims"

because he liked F 9/11?

BUAHHAHAHAHA

[Kingshakabobo]

37. The guy built his own friggin church. What morans. n/t

[northzax]

47. of course.

since religion means liking the Bush family, anything opposed to them is anti-religious, see?

the fact that not one single mainstream Christian religious leader actively supported the war in Iraq means nothing. Bush is the only religious leader they want or need.

[philaguy]

9. Crucify Him

eom

[Darknyte7]

20. lol... eom

[Guaranteed]

32. ROFL I'll second that. nt

[ET Awful]

38. LMFAO

Can we have him scourged first?

[LynnTheDem]

10. It ain't easy being THAT dumb. Poor freepers.

One day, this life or the next, they're gonna have their wittle eyes opened to the reality of their incredibly deep and total ignorance. Hope I'm not around when it happens, don't want freeper-guts on me.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Well, cool!

12. LESSON: DON'T STEP OUT OF LINE - NOT ONE F*CKING STEP!!!

>I never really bought that he was this great conservative like many here seemed to believe. This kinship comment does it for me. He's on my boycott list. He suckered a lot of people with Passion though.

Whew! Two opinions not in 'lockstep,' and they're ready to BOYCOTT! I hope Mel doesn't go against the new tax package - he'll never work in "this" town again!

Funny thing, however, it seems to me that a REAL conservative, a TRADITIONAL Republican WOULD be against the war, hate W (and so appreciate 9/11) along with just about everything he's done...

[Itchinjim]

13. Holy Shit! Check out the tagline;

"(Neither was the man created for woman but the woman for the man.)"
These people have some serious issues. Fuckin' loons.

[WildClarySage]

24. That caught my eye too. Shows the level of intelligence

we're dealing with. Of course, the person's ID is "biblewonk"?!

[ohtransplant]

14. Liking F9/11 = nonreligious?

" And he is not religious like he claims. I could understand a rational reason in being against the war but to praise Michael Moore and the film and attack the President's reason..."

:wtf:

Just goes to prove how the synapses are mis-wired.

We should really feel sympathy for this kind of logic...Then again...maybe not.



On edit; close quotes. Don't want the freeps to think I'm a Moran!

[htuttle]

18. That's simple

They literally think Bush is Christ incarnate, ergo going against Bush is the same as going against God. BTW, I doubt Christianity has seen a heresy this destructive in a thousand years!

[ohtransplant]

30. I think we should

let them grind themselves into a fine paste. Soon they will have banned everyone except Faux and Mt. Rush Limbo

The freeps should be careful what they wish/pray for. It seems the wheels are slowly coming off the cart. Arrogance = Carelessness. Keep it up.

Even Newty dares to dangle his toes in the presidential waters. Come on out Newty. Let's talk about character.

[dem_in_seattle]

42. OMG, Their Quote "president's reason" ...

what a total oxymoronic statement! They used president (B*sh) and reason in the same breath!

Freepers never cease to amaze me.

[htuttle]

15. Silly freepers with their preconstructed, pre-programmed viewpoints

I hear that if you put them in the window, they'll turn to face toward the sun most of the time, but that doesn't mean there's intelligence in there.

[MsTryska]

16. heh....

"He has said for nearly two years he is unsure about the war in Iraq. None of this makes him a liberal. Besides liberals are not pro-life or pro family or do they support Christianity."



yer god-damn right. libruls hate life, hate families, and don't support christianity.

[BrainRants]

26. Don't forget we're baby eaters too! n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. The enemy of my enemas is...

well, maybe not my a**hole buddy (to carry that line well past the point of good taste), but at least he's now eligible for World Nut Daily's "Enemas of Boosh**" list. I'm sorry, I'll stop now. :spank:

[sui generis]

21. I wonder if they play a background music file

something like "Moon River"

[qanda]

19. I love it that they don't see how anyone can "like" propaganda

Whew! Now that's an old knee-slapper.

[TyeDye75]

22. I can now watch Braveheart without gritting my teeth.../nt

[cali]

23. What a delicious morsel of schadenfreude

too funny for words. poor, pitiful little fweepers feel betwayed.

[autorank]

25. Michael Moore is our "Horse Whisperer" to Zealot Movie Studs.

If things were any crazier, they'd drop a net over the entire fucking country. Oddly enough, I can see Moore and Gibson getting along. What a trip!

[SillyGoose]

27. HAHAHAHAHA! Absolutely priceless...

Freepers heads exploding just makes my day.

:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

40. Kapow! Kablam! Kazooey!

[Old and In the Way]

28. What a bunch of misguided saps.

A true conservative could not defend this Iraqi adventure...this has nothing to do with political labels, everything to do with social justice, war profiteering, and war crimes.

Sooner or later the posting clowns over at FR are going to find themselves isolated from mainstream America. Everyone will be traitors, except the 200 or so posters that live in that echo chamber.

[David Zephyr]

29. Well, The Bush Disciples Will Now Get Even With Mel.

And that's what I call them now, Bush Disciples. These are people who have no political or social compass of their own, but who are totally taken with what psychologists call "the Cult of the Personality."

[maxrandb]

31. What a bunch of "ass pickles" n/t

[lukasahero]

33. Turned as fast on MG as DUers did on MM

If I'm not mistaken it was only a week or so ago that DU was all abuzz about how MM sold us out. Whatever.

Heck, at least when they DO love him everyone "stays on message". On a good DU day MM is as likely to be shredded as not.

[northzax]

52. stop saying that!

here we're having a perfectly good freep-mocking thread and you have to come in and point out our own hypocrisy. stop it, darn you, or I shall release the hounds of mockery upon your household.

[lukasahero]

55. :-)

Thanks for noticing. ;)

[atommom]

34. A "flaming liberal"??? ROTFLMAO!

The one good thing this shows us is how easily fools can be turned, if we can only press the right button. Not that they'd be any less crazy or more reliable if they turned into Dems. :eyes:

[Blue_Roses]

36. Freepers are SO FUCKIN STUPID it's almost tragic

[jackster]

39. hey freepers

MM WON BEST MOVIE! BY THE PEOPLE!

Mel only won Best Drama!

[Downtown Hound]

41. Don't worry guys

you still have Ron Silver.

[Cats Against Frist]

43. Yeah, that's pretty funny

The elitist, intellectual right-wing are verrrrrrrrrry impressed with how they so easily bought and own the freepers' dumb asses. A bunch of reactionaries. They'd probably fuck their mothers if Bush said...

oh, wait

[msgadget]

44. Every Christian isn't a political conservative

Perhaps he's seeking to repair any damage done to his reputation in the run up to the election in addition to being able to appreciate the movie for what it was - a documentary. OTOH, don't they all sorta slap each other on the back once they hold one of those statuettes?

[Rob H.]

45. They must not be able to recognize irony over on FreakRepublic

"For starters, if he can't see the blatant propaganda in F9/11 he's as blind as a bat. How can you "like" propaganda? It's retarded."

...said Trippin, who no doubt watches Fox News Channel 24/7, along with all the other wingnuts over there.


Edit: spelling. Oops.

[Liberal In Texas]

46. I hope they know we're laughing at them over here.

Fickle, aren't they?

[warrens]

48. IluvitIluvitIluvit...those psychotic pinheads crack me up

[ComerPerro]

49. More proof of how psychotic these assholes are

To be against Bush is to be against God.

54. Failure to separate the artist from his body of work simply absurd

I think this perfectly advertises (and I believe many of us at DU are guilty of this same thing) that failure to separate the artist from his body of work is simply absurd!

Am I supposed to deny previously given admiration for a painting because I suddenly find out his politics are different from mine?

Am I now supposed to find a piece of music that I've loved for so long a "cheap bit of tripe" because his religion is different from mine?

I think that Gore Vidal is a master word-smith. One of the most incredibly thought-provoking voices of the late 20th century. Yet, because he's further left than I am, I'm supposed to dismiss his work?

One poster here (app. one year ago) wrote that he loved C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia". That is, until he found out Lewis wrote them as Christian Allegory. Now he hates the books.

Same thing after the death of Bob Hope was announced and it was reported he was a member of the G.O.P. Big friggin' deal! I still love his movies and laugh till snot comes out of my nose...

I suppose we are all guilty of this to one extent or another.
