Is that sarcasm? You forget the tag:)

Haq the Muslim terrorist explored some evangelical church, but when he murdered that women, when he was shooting the others, he said, "I am a Muslim-American and I am angry at Israel."
Check it out.

But that was during ordinary times. The author prefaced his hit piece by saying we are not living in ordinary times anymore. Thus, his out.

He does know how to work the camera, doesn't he?

I want to hear his taped comments about Jews. Don't the police use video when they stop folks?

If his voice sounds overly slurred and excessively drunk, then I'll assume his brain was out of gear at the time.

When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke." -- Robert Altman

"They're sheep. They like him (Bush) enough to credit him with saving the nation after 9/11. Three thousand people get killed, and everybody thinks they're next on the list. The president comes along, and he's got his six-guns strapped on, and people think he's going to save them." -- Ed Asner

"I also think that there is a strong streak of racism, and whenever we engage in foreign adventures. Our whole history in regime change has been of people of different color." -- Ed Asner

"I not only think that they (U.S. leaders) are misguided, but I think they know exactly what they are doing and I think that they are men who are possessed of evil." -- Harry Belafonte

"The real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs." -- Sandra Bernhard

"I think America has no experience with terrorism or even with war. In Europe, we know a little bit more about these things." -- Bono

"I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany." -- David Clennon, star of the hit CBS television series "The Agency,"

...I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler. And secondly George Bush has much more power than Adolf Hitler ever had." -- David Clennon, star of the hit CBS television series "The Agency,"

"You can't beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking. These days it only matters who's in charge. Right now that's us -- for a while at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win. ...I believe (Rumsfeld) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can't beat anyone anymore." -- George Clooney

"I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies." -- Sheryl Crow


Just a brief selection of word garbage from other Hollywood elites that wern't drunk at the time.

Get treatment Mel. Its OK. Can you imagine a speech or quote from say, W.C. Fields on black people or even Clark Gable on womens rights?

The MSM needs to take a cold shower.

I am not doubting what you heard but could you provide the source.

Cause if this is true then there may be a whole lot more to this story than was leaked.

I don't care what anybody says, that man has made some of the best movies in Hollywood History. Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Passion, etc. And he is a riveting actor. God Bless Mel!

OH MY GOD....it's happened. I knew there'd be a way you anti-semites would make this all the Jews' fault. I suppose that the Jewish Deputy also planted the tequila bottle in his car and forced him to drive 80mpg in a 45mpg zone. And the Jews forced Mel to admit he was drunk and give an apology. You don't even realize how insane this makes you sound, does it?

Mel Gibson has not apologized. His PR firm apologized and wrote the words. Mel Gibson is a performer. Someone gives him written words and it is his job to make you believe whatever the script says. I don't buy the I was too drunk line. Of all the things he could have muttered, why did he pick the anti-Semitic line unless it's part of his personality. This topic is getting old and Mel Gibson does have a right to his beliefs. I just wish he hadn't shared them with the world. Just keep saying over and over, the man is an actor. He makes movies to make a lot of money. The subject of the movies is irrelevant. That's what producers do. Oliver Stone is producing such a vehicle opening on August 8.

"Gibson's no-longer-deniable brand of bigotry has led to the extermination of millions -- and continues to fuel much of the strife and suffering in the world today."

No.. actually it's trash like this piece that fuels hate and gets people killed.

For the record, Mel Gibson should also be held accountable for his words and actions.

I agree - Hollywood is defined by dingbats.

Yes, he was drunk and angry.

Could have been worse. He could have called the female officer "fat ass"...LOL.

My computer is really slow this morning and I can't get into the Chicago Sun Times. In Richard Roeper's column this morning, he wrote about the arresting officer being Jewish. I would have given you the link if comcast wasn't running at snail's pace but you can look it up.

And ABC, which is owned by Disney, should, without delay, scrap its head-scratching plan to develop a miniseries about the Holocaust with Gibson's company (yep, you read that right).

According to ABCNEWS, this project was cancelled last night.

Jeez...these talk show people kill me. COmparing this to Streisand and SDixie Chicks. It's not like Mel did that on purpose in a public forum to make a national statement. He did not PLAN to state his personal views to the world...unlike the others. And he did apologize which doesn't make it right...but the others do not...they want to try to influence. Mel is not.

What's your trick for looking into a person's heart? Philosopher's stone? Mel Gibson has not apologized. His PR firm apologized

Oh I am sure then the Mel posting crowd will get around to posting it. I sure hope there is 'video' with sound to back up the handwriting. Thanks.
