Why don't you set the example right here and now and publicly repudiate your fathers sins?

I do. My father was a Democrat and a segregationist for most of his life. I disagreed with him publicy over it, and he ended his life understanding that his views were racist, and he repudiated them.

Gibson will not do what I just did to a father who is blatantly anti-semitic.

I'm sorry your father has passed away. Perhaps you can cut him some slack. Old time Deomcrats were a lot more conservative then most of today's Republicans.

Perhaps because Gibson is a public figure, and him publicly denouncing his father's beliefs does not compare with a regular Joe or Jane "publicly" denouncing one of their family members? Would the NYT or similar publication bother to report about that? I think not.

Good for you, and, in the end, good for him.
