"Me, I'm not about to cast aspersions on anyone who babbles incoherently after having had one too many. Just about everyone I know -- myself included -- has been down that route a time or two."
The difference here is that if you or I go out and say a few nasty things it hurts those to only who may be in the area, our mistakes go unnoticed. With MEL GIBSON saying this type of stuff it thus becomes OUTRAGEOUS. How can anyone now look at this man and not believe that this guy has hatred for a group of people??
No, he may have "hatred" for some of their actions.
There is a difference.
