"But Mels enemies will never cut him a break. Their real goal is to discredit The Passion of the Christ, and that is why their propaganda machine is in full gear. Never mind that Mel has said that Anti-Semitism is not only contrary to my personal beliefs, it is also contrary to the core message of my movie.Mr. Donahue is absolutely correct.

I refuse to believe that someone in Hollywood has a problem with a religion.
I simply refuse to accept that fact.

Of course the Catholic League would be ok with Mel Gibson's apology. They are not a Jewish group dedicated to fighting anti-semitism. CL is an advocacy group for Roman Catholics. They're doing their job and ADL is doing theirs.

"In 2003, Roman Polanski, the convicted child rapist, received a standing ovation when he won an Oscar for The Pianist. Nice to know what really offends Hollywood.That's all that really needs to be said I think.

I never saw The Pianist but I heard it was a good movie. I vowed never to pay money to see it though.

I think you did no read the article, it addresses your point with examples.

Was Pope John Paul II just 'doing his job' when he visited Mehmet Ali Agca in prison and forgave him?
I'd think that an assassination attempt to be a tad more offensive than a few despicable, alcohol-induced words.

This "apology" nonsense is amazing. What was the apology for anyway?
"Sorry, I got caught"
Mel Gibson should either STICK TO his belief that "Jews cause all wars," or go on to REJECT his belief that "Jews cause all wars."
These apologies just mean he is sorry that he got caught saying it.

"I never saw The Pianist but I heard it was a good movie." You couldn't tell by me. I haven't seen it either and don't make any plans to.

It was a good movie in a horrible sort of way. Very depressing... but at the end, everything was fine and dandy. All those people dead... no problemo!
Acting was amazing, btw.

Mel Gibson should either STICK TO his belief that "Jews cause all wars," or go on to REJECT his belief that "Jews cause all wars." Very well stated. If Gibson had any integrity, he would leave Hollywood and go join the jihad. He is in Hollywood for only one thing: Money. He is addicted to Jewish money more than to alcohol.
I suspect that is what drives him to drink. He hears his father's voice saying, "Mel, how can you take money from those Jews?"

Their real goal is to discredit The Passion of the Christ, and that is why their propaganda machine is in full gear.This I believe to be true. I also think there is great resentment in Hollywood that Gibson didn't need them to make his movie, and his film proved them wrong by becoming a massive hit.
They tolerate, even celebrate all sorts of depraved and degraded behavior from a plethora of supposed "stars" these days, but they won't accept Gibson's apology for what he did while drunk.

No I read the article. I just don't see this as news because Gibson insulted Jews, not Catholics so who cares if the Catholic League accepts his apology? What have other Jewish groups had to say about Gibson's comments? That should be news.
