Mel Gibson's mainstream Hollywood career is over -- for real, this time

“And how exactly does acknowledging that slavery was evil make one an Obama supporter?”

An obsession with slavery and racism is the hallmark of an Obama supporter. You need to rant endlessly about slavery and racism because his job performance is so disastrous. It’s really a shame you can’t rant endlessly about the great economy and the super response to the oil spill.

You admit that Barack and Oprah are guilty like Mel. But Barack got elected and Oprah is still on TV, so by your “logic” I guess Mel Gibson is going to do better than ever.

Who cares what Gibson believes as long as he entertains well. In fact, if he's a decent entertainer then the audience would never see the real man.

Why our society assigns such importance to the opinions of mere actors - many of modest education - is beyond me.

[Eaker]

Again, simply because when slaves were being imported into America they were first sold to the slave traders by their tribal kings does not absolve the American slave holder for their actions.

If the tribal kings hadn't sold them they wouldn't be here.

If there is nothing that can be done to make it right why should anything ever be done again?

Maybe you and the rest of the obama supporting reparations crowd should all just STFU about it.

[GOPJ]

I would just like to ask *Hollywood* why is Mel Gibson’s Career Over, but that Child Molester Roman Polanski’s isn’t? Hollywood embraces Roman Polanski...

Good question.

[TaraP]

And your point is?

The only thing I said on this tread was that slavery in America was bad and somehow I get attacked as a liberal for not condoning slavery in America.

[Grizzled Bear]

And prior to the Quakers involvement into the Abolitionist Movement, what was the religion of the slave holders?

Since the seventh century, AD, no group has surpassed Islam's practice of Slave Trade. Muslim's still practice legal slave trade on the African continent. Slavery is "illegal" but still common in Saudi Arabia.

Of course, since it can't be blamed on The United States or Christianity trumandogz really doesn't care.

And yes, a I expect more moral behavior from Americans from the 19th century than I do African tribal leaders from the 17th century.

“Please... just who in Hollywood do you STILL admire? With their left wing attitudes, you probably can’t name one!”

I could name a bunch of them. Unfortunately most of them are dead, but Pat Boone is still alive. Make it easier, just name the one’s who aren't flaming libs. Is Dennis Miller considered Hollywood? How about Jon Voight? Can any one think of some more?

[TaraP]

I would say you are more like a *Sympathizer* You agreed with many of Rev Wright’s statements, and he is as *Rabid* as you can get.

[wardaddy]

trumandogz is habitually hypersensitive about Jewish and black issues though he claims to be neither

meanwhile Hollywoood is blatantly hostile to Christianity and Hip Hop is openly derogatory to the stupidassed whites who buy the music and those like TD who bemoan when white Christians act up are strangely silent over all that which is an offense in practice 1000X more common than Gibson's rants to his octomom looking baby mama

TD started by claiming how horrible Gibson was and then when freepers claimed others are as bad just from the other side of coin then they are accused of defending Gibson but no one has...they are just pointing out the utter hypocrisy of how libtard Jews can make movies to smear Christians and conservative sand folks cheer Jay Z or Spike Lee) can smear whites in Obama's earshot and he's exalted like a high priest but a drunk white Catholic wanders off the reservation with his own demons and he's held accountable

so who's more damaging to America I ask? Harvey Weinstien and Jay Z or Mel Gibson?

[trumandogz]

I don’t think I have condoned slavey practiced in the Islamic world.

Just like all liberals you are a terrible liar too.

I never walk away from a thread you have posted on without needing a shower.

[Rastus]

Don’t leave out Gary Graham. He’s one of the best there is at Big Hollywood.

So you disagree with this statement:

“When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools... put them in scientific experiments...”

[Eaker]

I ask the question again boy,

“If there is nothing that can be done to make it right why should anything ever be done again?”

[devere]

It seems that the taping was a criminal misdmeannor in California punishable by up to one year in jail.

[trumandogz]

I have called for no actions to make it right.

Of course you haven't. You've been far too busy condemning the United States and Christians at every turn.
