Kudos To Bobby De Niro

De Niro might have left “Edge of Darkness” over the anti-Semitic comments Gibson made to a Jewish police officer in that Malibu arrest. Perhaps, the papers thought, De Niro had Jewish ancestors.

 

Gibson Portrayed As Evil

Since then, Gibson — who’d already raised questions about his possible problems with Jews from his “Passion of the Christ” — has been considered persona non grata in Hollywood.
 

The Father At The Iran Holocaust Convention

He’s also had problems because his father, Hutton Gibson, is a public Holocaust denier who often writes for questionable publications.

Gibson Called Policewoman - "Sugar Tits"

But Gibson also addressed a female officer, who is black, as “sugar t--s.”

DeNiro Has A Black Wife

This might not have gone over well with De Niro, whose lovely wife Grace happens to be African-American. De Niro is also a vociferous backer of Barack Obama for president.
 

Hollywood Super Agent Ari Emanuel

De Niro’s agent is the Jewish Ari Emanuel, and he is no fan of Gibson. It’s hard to understand how he allowed De Niro to get into a Gibson movie in the first place.

Writing in the Huffington Post on July 30, 2006, Emanuel said: “People in the entertainment community, whether Jew or gentile, need to demonstrate that they understand how much is at stake in this by professionally shunning Mel Gibson and refusing to work with him, even if it means a sacrifice to their bottom line. There are times in history when standing up against bigotry and racism is more important than money.” 4
