Give it up, Mel. Apologies will get you nowhere.

Try denouncing the war in Iraq. As a matter of fact, go out and say that you have not been able to sleep for thinking about all the innocent women and children President Bush is responsible for killing and that is what led to your falling off the wagon.

Apology NOT ACCEPTED. And I'm not Jewish.

Sounds like a good apology to me, he took responsibility for his horrific statements and is owning up them, this is a good step, time will tell.

If I were Mel's P.R. guy, I think that right about now might be the right time to ask for a raise...

Now knowing that the arresting cop was Jewish, his anti-Semitic outburst makes more sense than when we had been told that he was Chinese.

Not excusing it, but I wonder if the horrible beating he took when he made the movie made him go over to the dark side.....it might be hard not to be angry at all the people that called you all those hideous names.

My Mother in Law says all kinds of anti-Christian things to my face and it wears you down sometime. Hard to turn the other cheek all the time.

For drunken speech a man owes none apology, none except himself. And to himself, if unpaid that ... if left unfelt in heart and soul -- no apology to any other has any meaning whatsoever.

Sounds like a full and freely-given confession and apology to me. Christians, under such circumstances, should forgive.

But this is an apology addressed by Mel Gibson to "the Jewish community". Let's see what they do with it.

You notice how the media picks out only comments by those arrested that it wants to. How many others have been picked up drunk and verbally abusive but comments they make aren't aired. Typical of our media today.

Boortz, Rush, and Sean all talked about this today. WHY?? Mel is only an ACTOR not the leader of some country! I'm soooo sick of this already. It should have been old news today!

Gibson is fixated on denegrating Jews in everything he does. In vino veritas.

I recall that when The Passion was in the theaters, Gibson said he said he was going to do a movie about the events that are commemorated in Chanukah. Now a Holocaust related production.

Leave the Jews alone, Mr. Sicko. With friends like you, Jews need no enemies.

He's rich and famous and this is still what he fixates on, even/especially in a drunken state. His Holocaust denying father molded this man.

Gibson and his father should spend 40 hours a week for five years viewing some of Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation Holocaust survivor first person testimonials.

Mel's human. Nothing more needs be said. He needs to live his life forward, never again to make anti semitic remarks and I believe he'll be okay.

Maybe Gibson could get together with the handful of conservative Jewish Studio bigwigs and put together a "To Kill A Mockingbird" sorta drama on the ages long tensions tween Christian Conservative and Hollywood (Jewish and otherwise).

Do some candid exchanges in the plot and maybe some reckoning that could help both sides have a little respect. and folks could realize that Islam is a bigger danger than the Christian right or "warmongering Jews"/sarc

Just a whimsical thought.....might make money too.

As for Mel's lack of support for Israel or at least what appears to be that.

He needs to do some reading while he's dealing with his demons....some Horowitz or Coulter or Martin Gross for starters

I'm pulling for him. I like him (a lot) but like most reasonable folks some of his remarks sure disappointed me.

I had a large lunch today with a group of culture war conservatives who are 100% Israel cheering squad and I'd say that sentiment about Mel was universal....everyone quite let down on a personal level

i have to say if the media doesnt forgive mel then he must be an ok guy. they usually make a big to do like this when they are trying to ruin someone......if he were a true lib, he would not have apologized....he heard this crap from his dad all his life.probably why it came out while he was drunk

leftys want to crucify him for making the jesus movie.
