Mel Gibson, An Anti-Semitic Actor
But he has also been exposed even more for what many of us have realized about him for a long time. He is SUCH a good actor, that he was able to recognize the manipulation of the "evangelicals" by the Bush Fascists and pulled the wool over their eyes alot the same way.

Bush says "I am one of you" and they say, "whatever you do must be from God, you have our vote, support and money"!

Gibson says "I am one of you" and they say, "Great! We will give you all the FREE advertising you could possibly want on our 'Christian Networks', just send us your 'making of' featurettes, do the interviews, and while we are at it, we will support one of our own by buying up mass amounts of tickets and take entire churches to your movie"!!

Now, for the record, I loved "Passion of the Christ". I DO believe there is some anti-semitic "codes" in it, but past that it is a beautiful film. Being a Christian and a Democrat isn't as rare as the right wants people to believe.

But even this proud Dem saw thru Gibson, and as a businessman myself, must salute his ability to "use" these people for all they were worth. Now, THEY may be seeing their own ignorance and how easy a target that they are.

1. Gibson is very smart - and very dumb
Badmouthing Jews in L.A. is always a BAD idea.
