His are the kind of statements that casually fall of the lips of somebody who has no ill will about the Jews?
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.
I yelled for them to come out of their house, and continually beat their bushes in frustration, as a friend looked on in a combination of revulsion and amazement. My friend and I were both bleeding from the fight I had just concluded with him because I had accused him, too, of being a "communist."
Next day, I was sober and did not believe either my friend or the people in the house were communists.
I was just drunk, you see.
After the scathing attacks on Gibson by the ADL (and who knows how much Hollywierd-behind-the-scenes flak he got) over "The Passion of the Christ" and growing up around an anti-semitic father with his "I told you so's", it's a wonder he didn't say more.
Not that he should have said anything. What ever happened to "yes officer, no officer, have a nice evening officer"?
