Hey, reality check for all: MEL IS AN ACTOR! Hello! His 'career' is to pretend to be someone else and entertain. And he does.
So what if he's a foul-mouthed anti-semite? So are about half of the gulfstream liberals in hollywood, and virtually every popular African-American political figure. Mel got caught, that's all.
BTB, how man of you ever said the N-word when you lost your temper? Drunk or sober... or made a passing comment to your friend in the car when a beautiful jogger ran by.
Among other things, alcohol amplifies emotional response. It does give wings to our irrational thoughts, too, folks. And a voice, sometimes.
I think we can all agree that Mel goofed up, and maybe a couple of bones fell out of his closet...
Good grief.
He didn't call someone a KIKE, he implied Jews are responsible for the what's going on in the world. He's an international celebrity. There are so many people just itching to kill Jews...itching. Every day I become more fearful for my life. You think that's a joke? I was flying an Israeli flag on my patio. Somebody called me a name....I took it down in fear for my family. Did you have famiy members marched into a gas chamber? I did. Until you're in our shoes, you have no right to tell me to "chill out."
Great post.
It's not even about him anymore...it's out there...the words...THEY'RE OUT THERE...
