So you really like communists? Not much. But, I am no longer convinced my friend or the people in that house are.

Seems to be headed down the same path as Nick Nolte.More than you know. (Credit to Registered.)
To: Skooz
Once, many, many, many years ago, I got drunk and, for some reason, decided that the people who lived in a house I was walking by were communists. You prove my point. You didn't like communists (nor do I) and ranted against them. You didn't accuse those people of being Norwegians or plumbers.
To: Skooz
Well, as a former drunk myself, I respectfully disagree with you. (Just as an aside, there sure are alot of us there at FR :)

its not a crime. we are simply trying to assess whether it occurred, with evidence over and above the police report - either an admission, or the police car video/audio tape.
To: akorahil
He actually has a track record of being accused of anti-Semitic remarks, this time he actually recorded. He father has made some outlandish remarks about Jews and is a bona fide Holocaust denier.

Has Gibson been lobbing rockets into Israel? No?
Lets get our priorities straight, then.

Fair enough.
I still can't help but think a little free publicity may have been in the mix, but I also won't discount his opinions; be they alcohol induced, or alcohol enabled.

Foxman and Hitchens will NEVER forgive Gibson no matter how much he apologizes, but it's not their fault.
Only Christians are taught to turn the other cheek.....and these men are not Christians.

No. I didn't prove your point. I made mine.
Once the booze wore off, I did not believe they were communists.

"This group more or less lives off the stench of medieval anti-Semitism. "
Hitchens cannot claim the moral high-ground by engaging in the same sort of bigotry as Mel.
BTW. What's really scary here is that after seeing the media's(MSM) reports of the current middle east conflict, I get the impression that 90% of the world feels the same way as Mel.

To: veronica
Well, at least Mel didn't leave his wife to drown after drunkenly driving his SUV off a bridge. He didn't tell someone he raped to ice her lip either.
Who here hasn't said some really stupid things during a fit of anger after a bad day?
I didn't realize that there were so many utterly perfect and blameless people on the FR.

How many of us here have never uttered a slur and harassed a cop while dressed in nothing but latex driving drunk on the PCH with a trunk filled with dead hookers?

"He attacked Mother Teresa? Interesting, since his only Daughter is a Nun."
I had also head this, but I've since heard (on FR last week) that she changed her mind and decided not to take her vows.
Wow.. Quilter..I looked it up and I stand corrected. In fact, she became engaged, but I can't google up if she ever married?
Anyway, thank you for the update..blush :)
