None of us are perfect. If I want to see ugly anti-semitism, I'll read the NYT. If I want to hear ugly racist comments, I'll listen to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.
Mel's incident is utterly unimportant.
True and if he were a Muslim or a Leftist this story would have been buried after the second apology.
And they say that stuff when they're (ostensibly) sober.
Mel had to be tanked before he would spout off.
Well said. How is it that Mel Gibson single handedly deserves all the attention here while Hezbollah is hurling missles from under their women's skirts into Israeli towns to kill Jewish women and children while they sleep?
How is it that we hear nothing of the nations of the world condemning Israel for continuing to insist that they have have a right to breath the same air as the rest of the Middle East?
But it's Mel. You know...he did that "Christ" thingy last year. He's gotta go.
All said, Mel F*'d up, big time. Hatred yields it's own rewards and Mel is experiencing those in full. But my reaction is simply not to acknowledge him at all. It's said, he's done. Give him a few years and maybe he'll redeem himself. This is just one of those scenarios where you have to start all over again. If Mel seriously is sorry, he'll make up for it. Otherwise, he's over.
But there are those, particularly among the left, who somehow think a few hateful words deserves more attention than the attrocities of the Jew hating Arab and Muslim nations. They can all go to hell, the sooner the better.
I have more to rant on, but I'll cut if off here.
