Weird that an argument is being put forward stating that since none of us are perfect, we cannot criticise Mel. In that case, we might as well close up shop here on FR, since we do some criticising.
If Mel had used the word "Christian" where he used the word "Jews," one wonders if so many here would still be willing to give the guy a pass.
I was just thinking about that...if say Stephen Speilberg or someone high-profile had said these awful things about Christians.
Honestly, I believe that is he came out the next day with the heartfelt apology Gibson seems to have given about how awful his behavior had been, he would be forgiven by many.
