106. Mel Gibson is just another right-wing religious and political zealot who is really nothing by a hypocrit. Disobeys speeding laws, drunk while driving, uses profanity, tries to get out of police hands, uses epithets describing Jews. This is the same so-called family man who made The Passion Of The Christ and talked about his deep religious convictions to the press when it was released. I am so tired of religious extremists attempting to portray themselves as somehow better than the rest of us, yet when it comes doen to brass tacks they live a very different life. Remember Jimmy Swaggart and the Bakers? If you are going to throw your religious convictions out into the pubic arena, you had better truly be who you say you are. Gibson should be ashamed of himself and get off the bottle soon! And take an anger management class, and stop pushing his so-called religion on others.

107. I am not Jewish. That being said, I must say that what Mr. Gibson said offended me. To say something so horrific, so anti-Semitic just goes to show his true colors.

To say that Jews are the cause of all wars is, to say the least, idiotic. What about all the wars that white Europeans started? Or Asians, Spaniards, etc? The point I am trying to make is, almost all religions and races have caused wars. To pinpoint any one, for any reason is just plain wrong.

109. Shelly Wallis: Oh, lady, you're 'born-again' bigotry is shining through. And you castigate Mel Gibson. Religion is the cause of much of our misery nowdays!

110. Shame, shame, Barbara Walters. Bet you never said or did anything you regret. Whoever you are, wherever you are, y whatever you believe you (and I) have done & said something we deeply regret. Ms. Walters is apparently the one person standing who can cast the first stone. Amazing...........

111. For those who don't know, Dennis Miller is a comedian
who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO.
He is not Jewish.

He recently said the following about the Modest situation:
"A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service
to all Americans who still don't get it,
I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs,
which is all you really need.

Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country.
There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians.
It's a made up word.
Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years.
Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient
but is really a modern invention
Before the Israelis won the land in the 1967 war,
Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank was owned by Jordan,
and there were no "Palestinians."

As soon as the Jews took over and started growing
oranges as big as basketballs,
what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians,"
weeping for their deep bond with their lost "land" and "nation."
So for the sake of honesty, let's not use the word "Palestinian"
anymore to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy
at our deaths, until someone points out they're being taped.
Instead, let's call them what they are
"Other Arabs Who Can't Accomplish Anything In Life
And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In
The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death."

I know that's a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN.
How about this, then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters."
Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country.
Oops, just one more thing. No, they don't.
They could've had their own country any time in the last thirty years,
especially two years ago at Camp David
but if you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights
and garbage trucks and Chambers of Commerce, and, worse,
you actually have to figure out some way to make a living.

That's no fun. No, they want what all the other
Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel.
They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course --
that's where the real fun is -- but mostly they want Israel.

Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or "The Zionist Entity"
as their textbooks call it --
for the last fifty years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries
to divert the attention of their own people
away from the fact that they're the blue-ribbon most illiterate,
poorest, and tribally backward on God's Earth,
and if you've ever been around God's Earth . . . you know
that's really saying something.

It makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic
about the great history and culture of the Muslim Midleast.
Unless I'm missing something, the Arabs haven't given anything to the
world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that
one.

Chew this around & spit it out: 500 million Arabs; 5 million Jews.
Think of all the Arab countries as a football field,
and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it.
And now these same folks swear that, if Israel gives them
half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals..

Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to
obliterate the tiny country and the constant din
of rabid blood oaths to drive every Jew into the sea?
Oh, that? We were just kidding.
My friend Kevin Rooney made a gorgeous point the other day:
Just reverse the Numbers.
Imagine 500 million Jews and 5 million Arabs.
I was stunned at the simple brilliance of it .
Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades
and dynamite to themselves? Of course not.
Or marshaling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations
to drive a tiny Arab State into the sea? Nonsense.
Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible.
Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their
bread with the blood of children? Disgusting.
No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace,
the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death.
Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope. I understand that,
with vital operations in Iraq and others, it's in our interest, as
Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much as possible,
and, after all, that can't be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of
super models who've just had their drugs taken away.
However, in any big-picture strategy, there's always a danger
of losing moral weight. We've already lost some.
After September 11th, our president told us and the world he was going
to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported them.
Beautiful.
Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of
an Oklahoma City every week (and then every day),
start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them to show restraint.
If America were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day,
we would all very shortly be screaming for the administration
to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean
and east of the Jordan.

112. Alcoholism is a terrible disease which devastates not only the diseased person, but everyone in their milieu: family, friends, acquantances, etc. Thankfully it can be treated and the person diseased can eventually get the monkey off their back.

Bigotry is a terrible trait - but how is it treated? Through psychoanalysis? I do not know the answer. What I do know is this: anyone who has to convince you of the fact that they are not anti-semitic, or anti-catholic, or anti-gay, or anti-black, or whatever they are stating that they are not "antI" is because they ARE.

Being Jewish, I am used to anti-semitic remarks and it of course hurts. It is especially odd when it comes from someone who espouses to be a faithful Christian, yet fails to realize that Jesus was Jewish his entire life.

I am very fortunate in as much as I have numerous friends: Jewish, Christian, Moslem, Black, Gay, Hispanic, etc. All are as respecful of me as I am of them.

113. Mel,
I will be praying for you. Getting caught with the whole world looking on is not a good place to be. Sure would be good if the whole world could "play nice", whether drunk or sober, eh? I think MANY of US (that means you and me) have screwed up in the same epic proportions, but without (thank goodness) the entire world looking on and judging us. Have a little mercy people. Am I disappointed? You bet! Can I forgive? You bet! Can I forgive 7 times 70? I would hope so. How about you?

115. So he went on a drunken rant. Who hasn't either seen someone do it or done it themselves. And what comes out of their mouth often makes no sense. I had a friend tell me I looked like a tuna fish while he was in a drunken stupor. I don't and he doesn't know why he said it to this day.

116.
Movie News- several-hollywood-friends-back-mel - AOL News :

Jodie Foster and Dean Devlin: please give me whatever you are smoking! I need to get high after hearing your drivel. Give me a break. Just because you "like" someone doesn't mean they are not an anti-Semite.

Jodie, you are right...it was not the alcohol that made him do it...it was his HEART.

Dean, Mel hangs out with lots of Jews. He has to. The industry and LA has lots of Jewish people. Hopefully, a lot of them will have the good sense to stay clear of him now.

Several years ago, my cousin, who is not Jewish and a lawyer, was at a Guy/poker party that Mel attended. Again, he was drunk and spewing anti-Semitic remarks, specifically directed toward those in the entertainment industry. There was stunned silence that time, and a "friend" awkwardly got him to leave and gave him a ride.

The man is anti-Semitic. I don't care if it's because his Dad is a nut case. Mel still harbors a pathological hatred of Jews. Ed Asner, Barbra Striesand, and StevenSpielberg....where are you now?

I don't hear your supporting Israel or speaking out against MEL GIBSON.
