John Gibson Mocks ‘Weirdo’ Heath Ledger’s Death: ‘He Found Out How To Quit You’

John Gibson Mocks ‘Weirdo’ Heath Ledger’s Death: ‘He Found Out How To Quit You’

Opening his radio show with funeral music yesterday, Fox News host John Gibson callously mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger, calling him a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”

Playing an audio clip of the iconic quote, “I wish I knew how to quit you” from Ledger’s gay romance movie Brokeback Mountain, Gibson disdainfully quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.” Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Ledger said, “We’re dead,” followed by his own, mocking “We’re dead” before playing the clip again.

Listen to it:

Look up 'weirdo' in the dictionary & there's a picture of John Gibson

1. I take it that Mr. Gibson will be joining Fred Phelps in celebrating his death.
What a ghoul.

Gibson and people like him serve no relevant purpose in this world, nor do they have a place here.

Wasn't this guy a former minister? (If not, he's still got the minister helmet hair.) How "Christian" of him to use this death for his own twisted purposes.

They have pushed us to this point.

If I were them, I would be praying that we don't push back.

18. There's something seriously wrong with that man
Ledger never killed thousands of people, nor was he a cult leader or a pedophile or a mass murderer.
AFAIK, he never even cheated on his wife.

So for what reason is Gibson mocking the death of this human being?

He's one sick puppy.

27. MF people like him simply have no shred of humanity.
He is garbage that should rightfully be disposed of.

These people just keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing. What they do not understand is that one day something is going to push back.

I know what we FEEL like doing when we see stories like this, but honestly, Karma will eventually have it's way with this man.

There are no words for people like Gibson, because language itself does not have the time, energy or resources to waste on such irrelevance.

Some things are best left without a name.

Giving them one would be criminal.

23. If someone cornered this guy in an alley tonight and beat him to within an inch of his life
Would you REALLY decry it, or would you be angry they did not finish the job?

I know, I know, we are supposed to be better than they are, but I also know many would not answer this question honestly at this point, because some of these people have made their case that humanity would be better off without them far too strong to argue against.

And I don't blame you if you can't answer honestly.

Not one bit.

Gibson is not human.

Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 09:41 PM by Jade Fox
to feel superior to a talented hunk like Ledger is to mock the actor's unfortunate death. There is so much bitter envy behind freeper types who put down all things "Hollywood". Just don't make them miss an episode of "Desperate Housewives".

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,177533,00.html

You are a despicable sub-human for your mocking the death of a fine actor. What is it with you right-wing fuckwits? - no doubt you call yourself a christian, but it's funny, I've never heard atheists and agnostics act like this. You and the "Reverend" Fred Phelps make a lovely pair.
Maybe someone will mock you when you're dead. You'd deserve nothing better.

56. I hate these people.
Ledger was such an incredible talent and intense person. His passing affected me deeply.

It amazes me that anyone could be so divorced from their humanity to take this as an opportunity to ridicule a person like this.

Ledger wwasn't even an especially political person.

So he made a "gay" movie. So what? This Gibson creep is barely above the Fred Phelps types on the evolutionary ladder.
