Does anyone have the quotes that Mel Gibson apparently made after receiving his People's Choice Award in saying he felt a "kinship" with Michael Moore and attacking the war in Iraq?
What was in Fahrenheit 9/11 that Mel liked so much? It's a film that says Bush's motives are evil, does it not? There's your evidence.
Gibson's real personality is very close to his character in all the Lethal Weapons movies: nuttier than a peach orchard boar.
He's goofy.
WHHHAAAAAAAAj!!! MOMMIE!!!!!!
"He might dis-agree with the war in Iraq, so might Jesus Christ and I am sure you wouldn't question him."
I'm guessing that Jesus Christ is not a big fan of the sort of misinformation and outright lies found in F911; that sort of stuff seems to be more to the liking of say...SATAN!!! \churchlady:off
One more time for you people who don't get it-my problem is he is praising and admiring Fahrenheit 9/11. What does that make him?

Yes it was a Movie the message is the most important thing anyone in this world can hear..
Jesus died for the world's Sins and is the Risen Messiah of the world that is the most important message from a movie any human being will hear in there lifetime..
Everyone will hear it and make the decision what to do about if before they die
He apparently said this in a press conference backstage that all the 'celebrities' do after they receive their awards.
Christian that prays for his enemies
Read post 3. Mel has been on the radio with these quotes. That's why I started this thread, to learn more about it and I am furious as this is apparently true.
"I feel a kind of strange kinship with Michael. They're always tying to pit us against each other in the press...the left, the right…" he commented, clearly dismissive of the idea.
"I saw his film, I liked it," Gibson said of "9/11," though he indicated that he might disagree with some points and some editing. "However, the question - and I didn't need to see his film to answer the question - is, why are we in Iraq?"
Gibson said that no one had explained to him adequately "why we went in and why we're there."
I don't see him "praising the film. I don't see him worshipping it. I don't see any anti-conservative opinions in this.
I'm still waiting for a quote.
Quotes are in post 111.
Yes, that is where the soundbites came from, although this isn't a complete transcript.Gibson in particular raised eyebrows during his highly-charged question-and-answer session with a few press after his win.

Gibson said that no one had explained to him adequately "why we went in and why we're there."
When a New York Times columnist asked Gibson, "What do you like best about Catholicism and Jesus Christ?" Gibson snapped, "Next question." And as a reporter began asking another question, he added: "Don't f--- with me."
Looks like that case of knee jerk that has is now complicated by foot in mouth disease.
Thanks : )
"He suckered a lot of people with Passion though."
LOL! Yes he did and I'm happy to say that I was not one of the millions who gave whacko Mel more retirement money!!
In a way, FR has done the same thing. Made up some sort of rivalry in their silly heads.
"It's all to do with these weapons (of mass destruction) that we can't seem to find, and why did we go over there?" he asked.
I'm willing to cut Gibson some slack because God knows I don't trust newspaper reports and this line may well have been taken out of context . . . but what is it about people that they can't see past the WMD thing? Do they not remember there were other, equally important reasons Bush decided to go into Iraq? And what if there had been WMDs and we hadn't gone in -- what would those people be saying now?
By going into Iraq, Bush has done something farsighted and downright brilliant, WMDs or not, and it shocks me that so many people can't see it. I think Bush is fighting both a short-term and a long-term war on terror, which is the only way to win. In Iraq, Bush is trying to create fertile ground for freedom -- in a region that, except for Israel, has NEVER known it. And freedom, democracy, is going to be the final nail in the coffin of terrorism.
Bush is taking the long view -- doing to terrorism what Reagan did to communism. For decades the "learned" among us said we couldn't defeat communism, and now the narrow-minded dolts are saying the same thing about terrorism. They can't see past their own noses.
My guess is that Gibson has never even considered the long-term benefits in the war on terror that Bush will achieve by going into Iraq. And being in the business he is, he's not likely to encounter anyone who will enumerate those benefits for him.
You've got to be kidding in accusing me of slandering your beloved Mel Gibson! Mel obviously questions Bush's reasons for the war and likes a film that really says how Bush is evil and has bad intentions and yet you are crying about how I am the one slandering Mel?
