[I am a little leary of Gibson’s portrayal, because I heard (can’t remember where) his father is one of these people who deny the Holocaust.

Electra, tell me this, please. Would you have "shunned" Mel if you had learned that his FATHER held that view. That was the way it seemed. (which would fit the PC culture)

No, I wouldn’t have “shunned” Mel if I had learned that his FATHER held that view. I wouldn’t have “shunned” Mel if I learned he held that view HIMSELF. However, I do think that denying the holocaust is a serious error, and I will ENGAGE those who hold it critically—just as I would engage anyone else with wrong views, and just as I expect to be engaged by others who recognize my own wrongs.
