Mel Gibson rants and lack of "media" coverage

[HomerJS]

Recordings have been released of Mel Gibson on the most sexist racist entertaining tirade I've ever heard. If this were a movie it would be an oscar winning performance.

Question, where is the coverage by Fox News and all the right wing autobots (Glenn O'Hannibaugh). They put this guy up on a pedistal even during his 2007 rant on Jews blaming it on alcohol. Make one Jesus movie and in their eyes you can do no wrong.

Notice the overwelming sound of crickets from the temple of Ailes. What's the problem why can't they get those talking points on this story out?

There are links to all the clips so far in an OT thread so I won't repost but I'm more interested in the Silence of the Right.

An actor/actoress political views from either side are theirs to support or object to.

Only when they stated that they will do something based on ideology and then fail to back up their words that I will pay attention. That convinces me that they are still media whores and can affect my opinion of seeing a future performance of theirs.

 

[PokerGuy]

Why should it be an issue? Who cares?

 

[Patranus]

LOL - Fox News has reported on this.

They have played the audio tapes and interviewed people regarding the legal action against him.

Get over yourself.

 

[Tristicus]

I give this much of a fuck.

Silly OP, celebrities should be ignored.

 

[Infohawk]

Have people saying who cares listened to the tape? It's really entertaining. Maybe more OT than P&N though.

Ive heard it every morning since it came out on the way to work on the radio. I dont care. But then again i dont swing from the nuts of celebrities like they are something special. They do a job just like the rest of us. I dont idolize them.

Uh, it's been on Fox News frontpage for almost two weeks now. Weak rant.

There are two tapes. One is an 8-minute rant in which he at the end acknowledges that he hit Oksana. What's really strange is that not once in either tape does Mel indicate anything specific that he claims Oksana did - other than to dress provocatively - that was disloyal, hurtful, or dishonest. He comes off as a total nutjob.

 

[Jaskalas]

OP,

Shepard Smith played an audio tape yesterday. I'm more interested in why the f' you care.

 

[Zebo]

lol it's better to reply to threads than start them sometimes. This is one of those times.

And it's fucking hilarious.

Wow. This is some pretty severe thread backfire.


Ouch

Oh right, because he knew these audio tapes were being recorded for worldwide listening - his lack of specifics is a major gaffe to proving his case...

I'm not defending Mel in the least, just saying that your logic is retarded.

I think Mel is getting a raw deal here. Hopefully he can bouce back after this blows over. I like Mel Gibson, I don't think he is racist, he has got a foul mouth thats for sure.

 

[Cutterhead]

Talk about OP self-pwnage... The SUBJECT LINE of Glenn Beck's daily newsletter: "Mel Gibson keeps getting crazier"

And discussed on his radio show.

Look, I've had many arguments with my girlfriend in which one or the other of us gets angry and complains about how we're being treated by the other. Almost always we say something specific ("Why am I the one who always has to do the planning?"). If somehow any of these arguments were recorded, the listener would know why the "plaintiff" was complaining.

Mel, on the other hand, goes on and on and on, screaming expletives and making broad accusations. I kept waiting for the dirty details, but there were none.

I do understand that's what's said in private is not for public consumption, but even the very worst arguments I've ever had have never come anywhere close to Gibson's tirades. He's clearly a pretty horrible human being.

 

[JD50]

Haha, classic P&N. HomerJS ranting about FNC and then getting himself owned.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Ouch

Remember this for the 2010 Ownage of The Year AT Contest.
