"Sounds like something Pat Buchanan, a notorious anti-semite, would say."
And that sounds like something, Frank Rich, the notorious, Christian Hater would say.
>>Sorry Sinky, I got you mixed up with NoPardons.<
Oh man, is the thread that's gonna turn into "that thread?"
I think I'm gonna go play Oblivion instead.
Surely you don't deny that Pat is an anti-semite? There's plenty of evidence. Lately, he's not even trying to hide it.
Um, you do realize most actors are Jewish?
Hollywood IS Jewish.
There's nothing wrong with Nopardons that a few days in AA wouldn't cure.
Happy now, Teach...?!?
Sorry, I don't have a clue what the rest of that statement means...do I need to buy a vowel or something?
Wait one second...he's a celebrity...and along with the riches comes the responsibility. He just didn't make a fool of himself, if true, he made racist remarks that confirm what people have whispered about him for years. I'm surprised so many here are so willing to discount this. If it were another celebrity who made such outrageous anti-Christian remarks, the fur would be flying. Hey, life won't come to an end...but he's a controversial figure, by his own doing...he's fair game...sorry.

The following is the complete text of Mel Gibson's statement regarding his arrest for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol:
"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the L.A. County sheriff's. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person.
"I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said.
"Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry.
"I have battled the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."

ROFLMAO... yes...AT you!!!
If this is true then Gibson has cashed his last check.
I haven't seen anyone talk about the point of all this. All the people who accused Gibson of his anti-semetic portrayal of Jews in THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST get to sit back and say, "I TOLD YOU SO." As a Jew, and as someone who defended Gibson, I feel a bit .... stupid.
Sounds like a step in the right direction.
Knock it off.
No matter that he's rich, or famous, he said some things under the influence..something I've done myself. I've never had reason to say, or wanted to say, anything antisemitic, but I've told my husband a few choice words..
If everything I've said while intoxicated were taken at face value, I'd hate to see what my life would be.
Give Mel a break. We are willing to do it for Katrina Freeloaders, Illegal Aliens, Congressmen, the Vatican, Koffe Annan..geez! Mel is just an actor..and a person.
A person with faults and GOOD points as well.
Look, buddy, you've called me "Sugar" and now you're making filthy comments (with your head rammed so far up Mel's rear) Shut up and go away before I hit abuse.
Be my guest...takes two to tango. If you can't stand the heat, stay outta the kitchen, "Buddy"! ;-)
Look-- obviously you are a very hostile, dirty-mouthed man. Leave me alone. Do not post to me again. If you do I will not respond. Go stalk someone else.
I there a tape? Maybe in your eyes?
I don't think so. Hollywood loves antisemitic, and movie goers don't care.
Mel has just improved his reputation with directors,and Mels movies are pretty good. He ain't a Dixie Chick after all....
