Mel Gibson On George Bush: The Hollywood Worm Turns?
If you go back and read the stories on Mel Gibson over the past few years, they’ve assumed that he was a supporter of President George Bush. WRONG, apparently, because this sounds like The Passion of The Bush Opponent:
Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilization in his new film Apocalypto.The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.
Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation’s insecurities to maintain power.
He tells British film magazine Hotdog, “The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys”.
The talk show should be interesting on Monday (if they mention this at all).

Mel should stay in Britain. He should also learn to write dialogue in English.
Isn’t he Australian? Anyway, I’ve never thought of him as a Republican supporter, just a Christian wackjob.
He grew up in Australia; he moved there when he was (six?). However, he was born in Peekskill, NY
Elrod: I believe that’s “whackjob”.
Not sure the “worm” ever turned…if he’s ever said anything about Bush or Republicans in general, I’ve never heard it. A lesson not to assume you know a person’s position on one thing because you know (or think you know) their position on another. That’s the point of moderation, right?
Wow….we still have Bush Supporters here!!!!
Hah…freaking idiots! how stupid can all of you be? There’s a fine line between being patriotic and being brainless! It seems like u guys never question the actions of your country’s leadership. Good luck and god bless! Make sure the Republicans gets another term. We, the rest of the world is enjoying every single part of America’s own destruction!
why would making the connection that Mel Gibson is a paleocon Buchanan guy, not to surprising for an Anti-vatican 2 catholic in the USA, and, hence, a whackjob, make us Bush supporters?
why would an anti-vatican dude be a whack job? i say screw all religions as they are just man made story to feed u empty souls and fill the coffers of churches and temples and mosques. priests are scratching their ballz hard coz they couldn’t get any and start screwing young boys.
have u seen the amount of hate that religion has generated between people?
Hey Dodgey,
I haven’t seen a lot of hate coming from religion, but there sure is a lot of hate coming from you. Sounds like you had a bad experience or you just don’t know what you are talking about!
My admiration for Mel Gibson grows yearly (though I’m not a big fan of his films).
Give ‘em hell, Mel!
