Mel Gibson: Malibu's Finest

46. Does this mean the Mel will get whiskey plates on all of his vehicles?
I knew he was a booze hound-just look at the nose.

Cheers-Tina

48. I am surprised and saddend that a majority of those commenting at this site on GIbson's arrest seem to support this blatantly anti-semetic tyrade that left no doubt about what his, and their, positions on this issue are. Those who deplore what Gibson said have as much right to voice their opinions as Gibson has to express his loathsome views and I can't fathom the claims that Gibson is somehow being censored. We are all held accountable for what we do and say, or at least we should be.

50. Kelly Phillips' intelligence (or lack thereof) is apparent by her total inability to spell or use correct grammar. These are the type of people who scream about the problems in the world being the fault of someone else. Their problems are usually the results of their own laziness and stupidity.

51. Last time I checked we had something called the Right to Free Speech in this country. How is it that every time someone says something that isn't Politically correct it makes headlines and people try to smear a persons life work ? All of a sudden the left wing whiners start pointing their fingers at Mel after he ties one on and rants under the influence of alcohol (a mind altering drug & depressant) they now have PROFF he's anti-Semitic. Horse Do Do ! People say all kinds of things when intoxicated, right , wrong or indifferent he has every right to say what he wants to, be it intoxicated or not. All you finger pointing TOLD YA SO people should take a step back and think of all the stupid things you've done while drunk or doped up and wished you could rewind those 2 minutes of your life. The issue here is NOT what he said but what he DID and that's endanger the lives of innocent people by operating a motor vehicle while ALLEGEDLY intoxicated at twice the speed limit in a 5000 lb. bullet ! That's what you should be speaking about not what his views are and who he likes and dislikes. That's a Freedom myself & MILLIONS of veterans of this country fought & died for around the globe for 100's of years. So as to his views on life, that's his business and I stand behind Mel 100% for using the freedom I helped protect and became disabled for in this country. Now as to his Alleged ILLEGAL activities of Driving while Intoxicated, Shame on you Mel ! I have also been the victim of a drunk driver that almost cost me my life and for that Mel you should be ashamed of yourself and should seek help for your addiction before you seriously hurt or kill someone. A grown man in your position should at least have the sense to call a cab (or Limo in your case) to drive your drunk ass home. Consider yourself lucky that those officers saved you before your created a situation costing someone their life. The words you let fly are your right and I applaud you for speaking your mind but you have no right to hurt innocent people Physically ! You have a Disease, take some of that money you have in the bank and get yourself some help ! We all have demons within us, and no one's perfect even those with large bank accounts, it's just a shame that those of you who THINK your perfect can't realize that INCLUDING the media who twist every story they get their hands on to voice THEIR views. God Bless America, a Country & RIGHTS I helped protect and lost my health to for 16 years.

52. Well Julie , I admire your passionate plea .... But...have some humer.
Laugh at Mel rather than seeking his demise..

Stop killing people in the middle east and save us all the horrible images comming from underneath the rubble.

And Julie...the idea of a chosen people is a racist idea by itself. it is in the Jews heads, and that made them think that they are better than everybody around them.
It probably affected their relations to others, and with such idiology they might have brought trouble upon themselves throughout their history.

I do not like to be called a gentile....all people are equal in the eyes of god.

Just because you have a book , and you beleive it is from god does not mean you impose it on others. That book is only yours and the property of people
who beleive in it like you...and whoever you manage to convert.

But you do not try to impose on others by force.

And the Jews have been the smallest....it is not our problem...Christians , Moslems, hindu, budists..ext...they all open their religions to converts and they grow and succeed. Jews chose to keep their religion as a club for the elite tribes.
So they stay small. How could all of us be responsible for them being smal? They chose not to share god's choice with anyone else!!

53. If Mel Gibson indeed said the hateful things that were reported,then he's a hate-filled jerk!

But the real issues are being ignored.

1.) Since when does being a world famous actor automatically make one a good,tolerant,sensible human being? It doesn't. Most sars are the same as us,only with more money,and possibly better looking. They have the same faults,predjudices, mental/emotional prooblems as those that aren't famous. It's just that they also have people that manage them and therefore, "manage" their issues.

2.) The biggest issue here is that the man was driving drunk! If he had killed someone because of his being drunk behind the wheel,it wouldn't have mattered what crazy rant he went on,he would have been a murderer!

54. As a Jew I am always hurt by anti-Semitic comments. It is especially sad to hear it from people such as Gibson who I very much enjoyed as an actor. However, I do forgive him for those comments. He was under the influence while saying them and was probably exposed and influenced by the wrong ideas growing up.

I wish Gibson grows to understand that no group of people is responsible for all wars in the world. Jesus was a Jew all his life and Christainity draws many good ideas from the bible. The whole notion about which group of peoole was chosen by God and who is loved more by God is Childish. No one is perfect. That's why we are here on earth. To try to become better human beings.

55. Although I do not agree with Mel's remarks, he does have the right to say them. The real crime here is The Sherriff's department trying to cover up this situation. Mel Gibson is certainly not above the law, why does he believe other wise?

56. I think it is all a joke when celebrities get in trouble all of a sudden they need to go to detox or they have a problem. I am so sick and tired of hearing about that. If is was you or I we would be in a lot of trouble and the police can't say they did not give his special treatment. They are liars. These celebrities need to be put in their place and need to suffer just like any of us would. They are no better. Matter of fact they made it because of us. They are all lost fools and can't even keep their marriages together. They must live such lonely lives and I guess you should feel sorry for them but I don't. Everybody makes a choice and Mel Gibson is no different and drive a car which he could have killed somebody!! What the hell was he thinking that fool. Then he gets on tv and apologizes and says he is sorry, what a crock of s***. He does not care, he is just worry that his a** does not wind up in jail and maybe he might find himself a boyfriend! He is an arrogant self-centered person. He will probably run off to Australia now and will not be seen for awhile. What a jerk! If he knew he had this problem why didn't he have a driver. They should know that Pacific Hwy is a very hot spot where they catch the stars! I think he should have to stay 30 days in jail and maybe that will teach him a lesson.

58. what ever happened to freedom of speech???.....whether we agree with someones remarks are not isnt the point.

59. I'm not anti-semitic nor am I pro-semitic, and I'm also indifferent about mel gibson. But what I do believe is the Truth, and undeniably the Truth, regardless of time, will expose itself.

And the Truth is...Mel Gibson needs help, and he's admitted it. And the Truth is...Whether we'd like to voice it or not, due to some repercussion, the Jews have to re-evaluate and see how they represent themselves to the world. Some say, "Jews are the world's bully; and sooner or later, we know what happens to bullies."

60. re #53. Gibson is not like everybody else. He is not only a film maker but one who has decided to depart from pure entertainment and involve himself in an exploration of profoundly important issues. Having a platform like "The Passion of the Christ" for his ideas greatly magnifies what else he has to say on subjects like the kind of people he thinks Jews are. It also does not matter whether he said these things drunk or sober.
