Jesse jackson called ny "hymie-town" while sober, and there wasn't any outrage on the left. Hmmmmm.

"So is Mel Gibson's drunken anti-Semitic spew really headline news -- or is it just another celebrity DUI?"


Just another DUI. We have free speech in this country and drunk or sober he has a right to his thoughts, belief's and, to speak them.

You don't have to like it but that is the way it goes.

Arianna Huffington giving the world advice is rich.

I think Mel will recover from this. At least he didn't say anything about gays - that would have been a career killer in Hollywood.

I notice that a lot of liberals are anti-Israel anyway so Mel fits right in.

[ishabibble]

I don't care about Mel Gibson's troubles. I do care that he has effectively stolen the press coverage from the Muslim terror attack at a Jewish center in Seattle.

Hurry up and look at Mel!!! Forget that some crazed Muslim took a 13 yr. old girl as a human shield into a Jewish center and shot several women, one pregnant and murdered the director, a 57 yr. old Jewish Liberal woman. HURRY UP AND FORGET!!!

"Reading the horror stories of the survivors of the Qana bombing, any rational person's instinct is to criticize the tactics Israel is using to take on Hezbollah."

If anyone wants on/off my "Shut Up, B*tch" Ping List, just let me know. This woman is SUCH an idiot, and you'll be pinged anytime she or her ilk are posted.

OMG!! This from a woman who loves and adores hillary ??? The hypocrisy is astounding. Liberals don't think; they just react, forgetting what's gone on from their own.
And what about Barbara Walters???? What a joke. Will she also refuse to support hillary?? Any of those outraged liberals???
I doubt it.
They make me sick.

[gopwinsin04]

Put me on the list please! lol...

[jackv]

Please add me to your ping list!!

Thank you!!

Forget that some crazed Muslim . . .

You missed the Talking Point. The killer was a Christian.

Even before this incident, I wouldn't watch anything produced by Mel Gibson. His movies are extremely violent. Mel Gibson also has not apologized yet. Everyone needs to get this straight-his publicist wrote the words that Mel Gibson performed in his supposed sorry speech. Mel Gibson definitely has the right to say what is on his mind. I have the right not to support any of his future endeavors. I hope the man gets help-he needs it.

Mel and Castro

Enemies of Hezbollah for stealing their coverage

[Hildy]

Yes there was.

[widowithfoursons]

Maybe if Mel had been sober he would have said that the Jews are responsible for being historically warred against.

[Lizavetta]

BAsed on recent news coverage, it appears in today's world it's worse to slander Jews in Hollywood than it is to kill Jews in Seattle.

[Lewite]

I could never understand why Gibson would associate or do movies with a woman abuser like Danny Glover. Glover has done time for his abuse of women. I now understand that undesirables attract undesirables.

[spectre]

"Mel Gibson needs to be ostracized".

LOL..as if he hasn't been? Nothing new here.

[Hildy]

OF COURSE he as the right to his beliefs...he's not going to go to jail for it. But we also have the right to our beliefs, calling him on it and boycotting his movies. Can you say, DIXIE CHICKS.

[RandallFlagg]

I haven't commented on this -until right now.

Are they going to make it a habit to have every word that everyone says printed on a billboard when they're drunk and busted for DUI?

The guy's human and has apologized. Now that this has turned into an apparent witch hunt (which I'm convinced is because of his politics), I'm on Mel's side.
