Mel Gibson's Apology Not Enough for ADL

Well it looks like Mel and Hillary have something in common.

[stands2reason]

He never admitted to anything.

[stands2reason]

You aren't fooling anyone, Mrs. "Mel."

[Navy Patriot]

But since freepers were tricked into thinking that Mel Gibson was actually a conservative because he made a religious movie, he's their new icon and can do no wrong.

Peach, I hope you're not warmin' up the antisemitic rubber stamp. It takes more than a boozed up paranoid tirade to make an antisemite.

I think you are giving FReepers less credit than due, Israel and Jews are not held immune from criticism on penalty of being antisemitic.

If you're seeing a lot of antisemitism lately you can't be looking in the direction that Gibson is coming from.

"I apologize for whatever you might believe I said..." MG

[mrsmel]

Say what? That's been my posting name here looong before this mess. I don't give a flying fig what Mel Gibson or any other celebrity says,because I don't think celebrities know anything anyway.

(Or are you making a joke?)

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Is it sigman Freud ?
Anyway, what Mel Gibson said or did is not totally unforgivable, God would still forgive him if he truly repents and turns towards God and ask for forgiveness.

[stands2reason]

Why should Hildy feel sympathy and support Mel Gibson even if she is not perfect?

[sinkspur]

It takes more than a boozed up paranoid tirade to make an antisemite.

Yeah. If your daddy's an anti-semite, that adds to the suspicion.

[af_vet_1981]

Yeah. If your daddy's an anti-semite, that adds to the suspicion.

On the positive side Mel's father, Hutton Gibson, can now be proud his son has publicly affirmed what he taught him all his life.

[EDINVA]

The apology wasn't TO the ADL, and it's not real likely that Gibson cares one way or the other what Foxman thinks.

Foxman, imo, is nothing but a Jewish Jesse Jackson. Both Foxman and Jackson are, first and foremost, leftists; secondarily, they are shake-down artists and publicity hounds.

So, even when they DO get it right itregisters as no more than a broken clock giving the right time 2X a day.

[stands2reason]

I've learned a bunch of not so nice things about some of my fellow Freepers.

The ones who complained about the "PC society" where Mel (and they) can't freely spout their Jew-hatred are especially revealing.

I will remember their names.

[stands2reason]

Why do you keep posting these?

[Hildy]

Where was all your CHRISTIAN compassion when Bill Clinton apologized. I believe he was sincere in his apology. Funny how you didn't believe in good old forgiveness then.

Public Opinion Poll:

How much funnier would the episode have been if he were pulled over dressed like a woman with his Oscar on the passenger seat also dressed like a woman?

A)Much more funny
B)Moderately more funny
C)He's still an anti-semite and not funny at all.

"Anyway, what Mel Gibson said or did is not totally unforgivable"

Agreed Also not forgivable are the over 1000 death threats he has recieved after Passion came out.

[stands2reason]

Is it okay to not like bigots?

[Millee]

bump for later

600 of them in Aramaic.

[stephenjohnbanker]
