I wonder how quickly those FReepers who urged forgiveness for Mel's anti-Semetic remarks will abandon him now that he's come out against the Iraq War.

Oh probably some. Kind of curious. You do realize the two issues are completely different. That it is a complete logical fallacy to try and link two?

Your position here is not at all intellectually defensible. It is absurd to demand one's opinion be forever set in stone about another person simply because of a past event.

You do realize Mel Gibson came out an apologized for his anti-Semetic which was why those Freepers advocated forgiveness? I suspect if he later apologizes for his remarks on Iraq those same Freepers would again advocate forgiveness. It is after all a Christian thing to do.

It's a pointed question meant to criticize FReepers who are perfectly willing to forgive and forget anti-Semetic bigotry for someone who is percieved to be on our side, but abandon him as a traitor as soon as he comes out against a policy that they support.
