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.
"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.
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.
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.
LOL..as if he hasn't been? Nothing new here.
sw
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.
I'd like to hear the audio/videotape and make up my own mind.
Are they playing it on any network?
Another little tidbit that nobody is talking about is the fact his called a woman officer "SUGAR TITS." This whole episode was a glimpse into his character.

geeze..this idiot again..who reads her?
I used to really enjoy this man's work (from Galipoli - Patriot) however I think I see more of this man's charater. Getting pulled over for DUI is one thing, opening up his trash-hole and bearing his soul is another. A great man once said, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks". Mel Gibson will probably get an award from Ahmadinijad just like Chavez. I would not doubt he would accept it. Brave Israeli soldiers are battling the Islamofascists in Lebanon and this coward is bashing Bush and blaming the Jews. Go figure!
What the hell is she talking about?
It is now reported that the arresting deputy is Jewish.
Its probable he knew who was driving the vehicle prior to pulling over the car and I will now reserve judgement as it is plausible that the deputy was a Mel basher.
And based on personal experience, I know that no radar detector or breathalyzer is rig proof.
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'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,"

"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 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!
