Gibson has the excuse of being bi-polar. Glover has none.

My real point is the MSM made a big stink when Gibson did it.

While they remain silent when Danny does it.

Boggs is a Chinese American communist activist....although at age 99 she's probably not churning out the propaganda any more. However, we still have the opportunity to boycott anything and everything connected with the subversive Danny Glover.

If Glover had a functioning brain, he would be an anti-semite. But since he has the intellect of a pineapple, just ignore him.
