31. #30...hahaha...What comeback? She's only an acrtess...
Edithann ,   USA   (12.23.10)
Gibson has more to his professional credits... And anyway, we know what Gibson said, it was recorded....We don't know what Ryder said..it's only the word of a thief...there is a difference or don't you recognize any facts except those you choose to believe? TATA
32. #31 She's an actress, Mr. Edithann
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.24.10)
You really should do something about your learning disability. It gives you away all the time. Gibson has other credits.....racist, anti-semite, alcoholic, unemployed actor, social reject. TATA
33. # 32...Typing errors do not an idiot make...
Edithann ,   USA   (12.24.10)
but racist comments and 'goy hating Jews' reveal all... I would think being anti-Semitic is analogous to 'goy hating Jews'..wouldn't you think? You obviously don't know anything about Gibson....He just made a picture and is not unemployed by any means...and certainly no more a social reject then Ryder..... TATA
34. DAve in UK #4

So what? Ms. Maya Plisetskaya, one of the world's greatest ballerinas ever was also Jewish. We don't just trade jewelery, ya know.
35. #33 Mr. Edithann
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.25.10)
Gibson's film came out at the beginning of the year and was no box office hit. Within a short-time, it was out on video. He was scheduled to film another movie this year but the cast objected and he was replaced.
36. "Oven Dodger" implicitly acknowledges Holocaust!
eYe ,   Seattle, USA   (12.25.10)
Why should this be considered an upsetting slur? Characterizing a Jewish person an "Oven Dodger" would mean that, quite the opposite of being a denier, that the Holocaust DID in fact happen! And quite the opposite of perceiving it a slur, why not accept it as a badge of honor? Considering the reference to a person or their ancestors as having avoided the horrible flames of the Nazi ovens during WWII, why not see it as a compliment toward being the ultimate survivors of such horrors?
37. # 35...You must be kidding?
Edithann... ,   USA   (12.26.10)
How do you know what he's got in the works? Making moves takes time and money...and he made millions...Do you remember the Passion of Christ? I'm sure he doesn't have to work another day in his life...He's no longer 'leading man' material... but what your saying is what he was saying...Jews control Hollywood..and for that he's antisemitic? I don't think he used the usual Hollywood backing for that 'block-buster'! Hahahah...you're too funny... I guess Mr. Edithann was a juvenile slight...hahahahaha TATA
38. Rivkah, What World Are You Living In?
Nicole Czarnecki ,   B'HaGalut   (01.16.11)
Mel Gibson is a known Anti Semite and chauvinist.
39. But, Logic, Don't Insult Doorstops
Nicole Czarnecki ,   B'HaGalut   (01.16.11)
40. Lawrence, You're Falling For Mel Gibson's Type of Rhetoric
Nicole Czarnecki ,   B'HaGalut   (01.16.11)
"The jews who largely control Hollywood"? We do not control Hollywood. As a Jew, you ought to know better; and what else have you fallen for: that the Rothschilds are part of the Illuminati? By the way, the Illuminati was founded as an Anti-Semitic, Anti-Religious organization in 1776 and disbanded in 1785.
41. But That Mel Gibson Wanted Us To Be Murdered Still Hurts
Nicole Czarnecki ,   B'HaGalut   (01.16.11)
Also, I lost relatives in the Holocaust.
42. #3 Comment
Lynn ,   London, England   (01.26.11)
Are you Mel Gibson in Disguise? If not don't make excuses for him - it is obvious what he was implying.
43. Mel Gibson should drop dead
Talula ,   Israel   (02.03.11)
I'm sure no-one would notice - apart from the fact that the nation's distilleries would go belly up. What a vile disgusting slob.
44. shmuck gibson
miri ,   miami usa   (04.15.11)
not to worry. his career is finished. his russian ex is cleaning out his bank account and eeven jodie foster has fallen out of favor for hanging with him. his last movie<"Beaver" floped. noone even noticed that it came out. hes a pathetic jerk with a bad hair transplant. xcuz sp. lol
45. movies made by Gibson
meghan ,   israel   (09.11.11)
like Braveheart and Patriot to note, made me really wonder about him. So much blood and gore, the enjoyment of the kill, blooded face etc...and those eyes, full of insanity!. I will admit i did like his movies, but they have been binned a while ago. He is a drunken woman beater and how Robin put up with him all those years and those 7 kids...hope they turn out better than their dad.
