Fox Host John Gibson Mocks Heath Ledger's Death

Fox News' John Gibson found a way to outdo MSNBC's Courtney Hazlett for the most inappropriate comment on Heath Ledger's death. ThinkProgress reports that, on his radio show yesterday (which opened with funeral music), Gibson called Ledger a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem." Making fun of the famous "I wish I knew how to quit you" line from "Brokeback Mountain," Gibson said of his death, "Well, he found out how to quit you."

This is not Gibson's first time making inappropriate comments in the wake of tragedy. In July 2005, just one day before the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London, Gibson said that "the International Olympic Committee missed a golden opportunity....If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics, it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares?" The next day, after the London bombings, Gibson repeated the remarks.

Gibson: Maybe, just maybe someday you might lose a family member (for whatever reason). You are really racking up the karma by being as dizzgusting as you are about Heath Ledger. If you had an ounce of his talent, you would'nt be working at the "Filthy Fox" network. It's just where the down and outer conservatives go after being "excused" from places like MSNCB where you once harrangued about Bill Clinton. GET A LIFE - CREEP!!!! Cheath

Along with others, I, too, respectfully asked for John Gibson's termination from Roger Ailes, Fox CEO. I do not believe mean spiritedness ever accomplishes anything, nor do I believe the silent majority ever creates progress. The freedoms we enjoy as Americans came at a VERY high price for those that fought and continue to fight (and serve) in our military. To disgrace and exploit those sacrificially earned freedoms the way John Gibson has is beyond explanation. And just because we have freedom of speech does not mean that consequences should not follow when those freedoms are abused -- Don Imus learned that and I believe, John Gibson falls into this same category. Mr. Gibson and his colleagues need to learn that it is never the right time to do the wrong thing. His forced apology is simply not enough.

It's difficult to believe that someone so untalented AND moronic can actually get a job as a talking head on t.v. in this country, then you hear hear this bigotted simpleton cracking homophobic jokes about a young dead person and you think: This is why the world hates us...usele­ss, (and unattractive), talking heads like Gibson serve only to take up space.

Gibson is a bucktoothed freak with the IQ of a rock. No one gives a good golly fuck what he thinks or says. Hopefully he will get some incurable disease and die soon. Then we all can make remarks about him that are comparable to his about Ledger.

These conservative wankers don't even have to know someone to hate them. Hate just comes that naturally to them.

(BTW, what's with with this guys giant poofy comb-over?)

Like many conservatives, the only drug users Gibson cherishes are those that let him put his hand down their pants.

To put it mildly, Gibson's an idiot. I hope he loses all of his listeners over such crass comments about this actor. No one in their right mind would make fun of Heath Ledger's sad & untimely death. No one.

He looks like Karl Rove's twin, seperated at birth perhaps? Same sense of empathy for grieving families, too. Too much peroxide must affect the brain, assuming he had one to begin with. These compassionate conservatives are a great bunch, aren't they?

John Gibson is a vile, moronic, talking head. A fairly unattractive head at that. I would expect nothing less from this 'puking puppet', or the netwok he shills for.
