GLAAD Mad At John Gibson

By Andrew Belonsky January 24, 2008 at 2:01pm · 11 comments

Homo media watch dogs over at GLAAD aren’t pleased with John Gibson’s anti-gay Heath Ledger remembrance: “Gibson’s remarks are vulgar and disgusting. It’s sickening that Gibson would exploit Heath Ledger’s tragic death to promote such hurtful intolerance.” C’mon! Are we surprised? Gibson’s a punk!

    Both he and FOX NEWS shoould be called out on this. By both Homosexuals and Hetrosexuals. What he did was no better than the WBC and he should be held accountable

    When John Gibson dies (as quickly as possible), I will be the first to make catty references to the fact that he looks like a bloated Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Doesn’t he look like that? He’s got the crazy hair get up and the corpulent, blanched mug. What a loser.

    I just listened to what he did on his radio show. It was vile, immature, and just plain evil. It is a new low for Fox News and American journalism. If Fox does not fire this man then this will become the ultimate testament to what they are made of. However, I have little faith that Fox will do anything about this.

    Contacting Fox News won’t do a damn bit of good.

    We need to compile a list of their advertisers and put pressure on them. Money is the only thing these thugs understand.

    Just listened to what he said. How was that homophobic? Poor taste, yes but homophobic, come on.
    People need to chill an get a hold of themselves. Acting like he said Die, Faggot, Die. There is no need for such an overreaction.

    When I sent my emails to all the addresses on the GLAAD list, I did not even mention the gay issue but simply Gibson’s inhumanity.

    And I did not send anything directly to Gibson himself. Why give him more fuel for his fire?

    Gibson looks like a bloated in the bottom of a swimming pool version of cool Australian Prime Minister, the Honorable Kevin Rudd who ousted Bush-Lite disgraced (think Dick Nixon) former Prime Minister, John Howard. Pull of that rubber mask, you fraud and fat drunk, Gibson!

    “Gay As Life” just gave this media clown more fuel. Oh, the inhumanity! Don’t watch Fox unless its the Simpsons who still got it.

    Fox,

    (I can’t call you “Fox News” because that would imply you rendered some useful, necessary service to the public, which of course, you don’t. You’re a fourth-rate, entertainment venue that exists solely to placate uneducated peoples fears, biases and woefully misguided presumptions. A sad lot in life – yours and theirs.)

    What John Gibson said on your national network about the sorrowful passing of a young and extremely gifted artist – a father, son, brother and HUMAN BEING – is unforgivable. He (and Fox’s complicity) are worse than that Kansas canker, “Rev.” Fred Phelps. Worse because even though Phelps and his feeble-minded drones plan to picket Ledger’s funeral, they truly believe in some mind-bending fashion that they’re “right”. Gibson however, doesn’t even share an ounce of their warped conviction. He’s merely a stupid, self-important, destructive panderer. Period.

    I wanted to write all my friends to tell them not to watch Fox anymore, but then of course I realized, none of them do. What service it is that Gibson provided to your waning audience of bigots, semi-illiterates and fascist ya-hoos will remain a mystery. His impending departure from the airwaves however will most noticeably improve our nation’s intellect.
