Mel Gibson's Dad is a dick

So I read this today:

"A report in Tuesday's New York Times that Mel Gibson's Icon productions is involved in producing a four-part miniseries set against the World War II Holocaust has predictably raised eyebrows among critics. Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ, was assailed for allegedly including anti-Semitic elements, and Gibson has never repudiated comments by his father, Hutton Gibson, whom critics describe as a "Holocaust denier." Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies in Melrose Park, PA told the Times: "For [Gibson] to be associated with this movie is cause for concern. ... He needs to come clean that he repudiates Holocaust denial." In an interview with Daily Variety ABC exec Quinn Taylor responded that critics ought to "shut up and wait to see the movie, and then judge." The film is being adapted from the memoir Flory: Survival in the Valley of Death, written by a Jewish woman who, like Anne Frank, was sheltered in Holland by a gentile family during the German occupation."

"In his interview on WSNR radio's Speak Your Piece, to be broadcast on Monday, Hutton Gibson, argued that many European Jews counted as death camp victims of the Nazi regime had in fact fled to countries like Australia and the United States. "It's all -- maybe not all fiction -- but most of it is," he said, adding that the gas chambers and crematoria at camps like Auschwitz would not have been capable of exterminating so many people. "Do you know what it takes to get rid of a dead body? To cremate it?" he said. "It takes a litre of petrol and 20 minutes. Now, six million of them? They (the Germans) did not have the gas to do it. That's why they lost the war." Courtesy AFP

How the hell can anyone who claims to be even semi-intelligent deny that the holocaust ever happened? Mel Gibsons dad must be on the same level of intelligence as Sean Penn's character in I Am Sam. Or maybe even Jodie Foster in Nell. To deny the holocaust proves one point: You are an uneducated boob. Mr. Gibson needs to go to the library (if he can read) or even Blockbuster for fucks sake and rent Schindler's List or any other WWII movie for that matter... ARGH! Somepeoples ignorance just makes me wanna punch them in the mouth with a sledge hammer.
