God forbid the guy should defend his father.

There is free speech.

Katzenberg and Geffen should move to Germany.

Over there its a crime to say the "Holocaust" never happened.

I don't think what he offered was a defense of his father, but an admonishment to Diane Sawyer that she shouldn't tread onto the turf of a father and son. Let's be honest. The left wants the son to denounce his father. No good son would ever do that.

Every time I have heard people complaining about his defense of his father, it's obvious they do not have a clue about loyalty. He may have to hear things about himself for defending his dad, but he doesn't have to live with these people. His dad will be family much longer.

Over there [Germany] it's a crime to say the "Holocaust" never happened.

Whereas here, it's just foolish. Still, the whole Holocaust Denial nonsense tries to blame Mel for his father's foolishness -- which is as illogical as blaming the Jews alive today for the actions of other Jews in other places who have been dead and buried for two millennia. Both Christians and Jews believe that humans have free will and independent souls, so where's the beef?

It's interesting to compare how Hollywood reacts to Gibson, whose father is accused of being an apologist for Nazis, to Hollywood's treatment of Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose father *was* a Nazi. I mean a real, swastika-wearing, goose-stepping, Hitler-heiling Nazi in the flesh, and a member of the SS.

I guess it's because Arnold, like Geffen, Katzenberg, Medavoy, et al., doesn't make violent films.

d.o.l.
