Mel's Dad: Vote For Ron Paulcalypto

Not that Ron Paul needed any less momentum, but now he's got a Holocaust-denier and noted religious freak Hutton Gibson -- that's Mel's dad -- stumping for him on MySpace.

Mel's daddy is dragging Prez candidate Paul -- yes he's still in it to win it -- into his fray, doing a seriously earnest ad for him on his homepage. He also says wants to be friends with "Catholics and patriots."

We called MySpace to see how they felt about a known Holocaust denier being on the site -- and we also contacted Ron Paul to see how excited he was for Daddy Gib to be on his team. We haven't heard back yet.

16. #2 Kimberly...how are you spelling persecuted?? Incorrectly! Don't be like my dopey neighbor who says only 1 million were killed, not 6 million! Even *one* is one too many. Duhhhh.

17. Mel, Mel's dad and "Prance" vonAhole need to have their own "meetup" at the most centralized Starbucks.

19. Dear retarded comment number 16,

Ron Paul doesn't believe in the 9/11 conspriracy b.s. and neither do all of his supporters. Maybe you should take a look at his detailed plan to catch Osama Bin Laden you idiot. It is sad that the Freedom Movement has turned into a 9/11 Movement but you got your facts all wrong. Research before you make comments like that DUMB ASS!

20. 6. Kimberly does not like Jews.

Ya that's it, a call for TRUTH means I hate someone. What I don't like are ppl who use their considerable power, your tax dollars, and claims to being the planet's most worthy victims, to shut others up. If I want to express an opinion, right or wrong, then fight that with facts but don't take away the right to express it. We are drowning in "political correctness" and all it has achieved to is drive those who do "hate" underground. Personally, the war has been over for how long now? It's time to LET IT GO. But then that would mean the loss of guilt as a very powerful tool. If the African Americans "hunted" down all the ppl responsible for putting them onto ships and all those who bought and sold them, we could carry on forever. I wonder how many Jewish/Americans owned slaves? You never hear them concerned with righting that wrong. Enough already, you suffered, so has everyone else, new day, move on.

21. Might I remind you that it is not illegal to deny the Holocaust. Pointing out that Hutton Gibson has posted something that is well within legal bounds is an attempt to intimidate the folks behind MySpace. They should not give in to this pressure.

I do not deny the events of WWII, just to clarify that point.

And you can call Mel and his daddy "Australian" all you want, but NYers know that this family called Peekskill their home, same as Gov. Pataki.

22. Kimberley: "An alternate view of the Holocaust..."

You mean a lie. Just come out and say it. You don't like Jewish people an denying their former persecution makes you feel more secure about your dislike of Jews. Note that I don't see people saying "slavery never took place in the United States" or "those million people were never killed in Rwanda - they just vanished."

Sure, there are "alternate views." Some are just less honest than others.

23. You called Myspace because Mel's Dad is a known Holocaust denier? WTF is wrong with you?! HOW DARE YOU! That is really absurd of you. TOUGH LUCK! If he chooses to deny the Holocaust...that is his business! What kind of NAZIS are you? AOL will get a complaint about this. Bunch of loser thought Police. And you wonder why..........

24. The funny part of this that everyone misses is Ron Paul's past with neo-Nazi groups and TMZ's hacks are too lazy to do a little homework besides calling MySpace with such an idiotic question. Google it and you will see that Paul and Mel's father are birds of a feather. Those of you support Paul should do your homework. Libertarian views are fine but a neo-Nazi is a neo-Nazi, regardless of their views on taxes or the war in Iraq.

Actually Ron Paul was accociated with the KKK not neo-nazi groups, and that was only because some grand wizard gave him a donation. He completely refuted his views, but said he'd take the money anyway since why should he give it back to someone who'd just use it for evil?

And then some guy wrote in his newsletter something demeaning about black people, again Ron Paul did not accept this person's views, but it still is pretty embarrassing that it appeared in his newspaper.

Ron Paul is still a bit of a crack-pot which KKK people and neo-nazis might like because of his extreme libertarian views, but he's not a neo-nazi himself.

26. Thank you Tobo !! Ron Paul is our only hope right now people ..YOU should do your HW Ken !! We are so beyond screwed if Obama or Mc Cain wins this thing .. Ron Paul is a true American that has never once voted for an unbalanced budget and a true believer and follower of the constitution that wants to sever this country's ties to the evil FED which has completely obliterated our economy in the way of a long slow anal rape and return this country to the gold standard before our congress carelessly gave them (FED) control in the early 1900's . THe Fed has unlimited control over our money and our gold. They are a private bank !!! All of our money is the hands of a private bank that has not even been subjected to audits of our gold supply .. the wealthy group of individuals that actually control the country wont let that happen..Our gold supply is completely unaccounted for. No other candidate is going to talk about this because they will be shut down much like Dr. Paul has been, His youtube video hits are much larger than any of the other candidates right now and yet he gets no air time or media coverage.Coincidence? I think not. Ron Paul is the only voice of real truth people !! see for yourselves .. that is who I am voting for even if its a long shot since the media will inevitably shut him down but a vote for Obama or Mc Cain is just a waste of a vote. Ron Paul for President !!!!!!

27. Last time I checked it wasn't against the law for anyone to not believe there was a holocaust. You guys are really getting carried away in your zeal to write a story. There is no story here.

28. Ron Paul can't help it if his message of fiscal solvency, less taxation and less government interference appeals to a large cross spectrum of people. Evidently, TMZ favors to some degree, the idea of abridged 1st amendment freedoms and therefore censorship. Sorry to inform you but the 1st amendment is also supposed to protect those views we don't agree with or find offensive. An over-reaching and over bearing government is the enemy of us all.

29. Well this should give a nice bump to the Ron Paul movement. His % of the total voting public should shoot up to 0.0001%, which should put Ron Paul just slightly ahead of Ralph Nadar.

Myspace is full of crazy and insane people, although it is entertaining to read what some of these idiots believe. No wonder so many Myspacers seem to wind up dead, Darwin in action. Then they rest forever in the immortal mydeathspace - "Goodbye you are the weakest link"

30. 2. How DARE you suggest that simply because someone has an alternate view of the Holocost (and just for the record the Jews are not the sole owners of the word persicuted - Aboriginals, Blacks, Women,Palestinians and just about every other group throughout history can lay claim)

Okay, which one are you, victim? The Holocaust (note spelling!) refers specifically to the genocide of European Jews during WWII. Sorry, idiot, but this has nothing to do with "other groups who have been persecuted" (note spelling!). You and Daddy Gibson and anyone else can believe and even say whatever you want, however, when you talk repugnant s**t that denies incontravertible historical fact, you become a crank with a sickening agenda. Kindly STFU.
