BULLETIN: Gibson: "I'm Not an Anti-Semite"

31. uh...the bbclosangeles article about Mel being arrested on terrorism charges is a hoax. Amusing, but not real. The site has a disclaimer:
Yes, it was a hoax.

Have a good day.

32.
don't get me wrong, because I don't think Mel was justified driving with intoxicated. I do think his behavoir is worth punishment (no free pass for celebrity)
However he as do all of us have the right to freedom of speach!! If he truly believes "Jews" get us into wars then why isn't he allowed to say it ???

33. Mel is expressing a view of the current world events in which Isreal is now killing hundreds of inocent men, women and children (wonder where they learned that from). Unlike Nazi Germany, we are allowed to decephier, think and have opinions in this country. From what I gather, no definative remarks were made against the Jewish population directly, such as "I hate Jews", or the like, simply, they are responsible for the impending war, which clearly, they are.

34. Everyone just seriously needs to chill out about this and move on. People forget that celebrities are human beings. They are not role models or politicians, or at least they shouldnt be. They are entertainers.
So please leave Mel Gibson alone already so that he can go make movies and give me something to do on a Friday night.

35. Now you are sorry Mel after you blurted out your true feelings, you are and always have been anti semetic. That how you were raised and that is what you have become. How Sad for a great actor who I used to enjoy. I will never ever see another Gibson fils again and I will pass this to evryone I can

The American Public

37. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone. No one is perfect and I guarantee you that the majority of people who have made a commend/post regarding Mel Gibson has made a racial slur in one form or another. Get real people. No one is perfect. Neither are you people who are making negative comments about him. YOU ARE NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS. Clean up your life become perfect and then you have every right to get on here and make judgements towards him.

38. Alan Nierob, Mr. Gibson's spokesperson, wrote a masterful statement aimed at saving Mr. Gibson's career and reputation.

We'd all like to believe that Mr. Gibson doesn't really hate Jews-- or women or gays -- but sadly, his repeated attacks on Jews and others means he is not "Braveheart" but "Coldheart."

Now he wants to meet with Jewish leaders? He refused their diplomatic attempts to meet with him before releasing "Passion of the Christ".

We all know what alcoholism does to people and their loved ones. But, as many experts have said, it is also truth serum. Saying he is not an anti-Semite is a stretch when so much of what he has done in recent years is to bait Jews. Bigotry, like alcoholism,is a disease. But bigotry hurts so many more people.

39. I was taught compassion and tolerance for those who need it most..and sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. Mel is an alcoholic and says hurtful and stupid things when he's drunk...ever see the show "Cops". Drunken people say and do stupid things constantly. Who knows what's in Mel's heart or head? He made mistakes...who hasn't? He showed his ignorance. Don't condone his behavior, but don't crucify him for it. He who hasn't said or done something stupid or hurtful cast the first stone...No one walks on water. What would the King of the Jews do?

40. Alcoholism, like anti-semitism, is against Mel's faith. But he admits he's an alcoholic. So the question is not what his faith teaches, the question is what kind of man he is. Put his anti-semitic comments together with his evasive talk about the Holocaust and The Passion, and we have our answer. If he weren't so involved with Jewish executives in Hollywood for his success, he wouldn't even bother apologizing.

41. I think that for anyone to call themselves a Christian and not be able to forgive is the real saddness in our society. For someone to clearly make a mistake whether a celebrity such as Mel Gibson or not and to not be allowed to be forgiven shows how many of us feel we are better than God himself. I for one have always been a supporter of Mel Gibson and I feel that if he has an alchohol problem then that needs to be addressed not because he is a celebrity, but because he is a human being with a problem. Don't be so quick to judge others we are all human and make mistakes, not all of us are in the limelight and have to have our life and the lives of our families out in full focus ( bad or good ). If we do not start being out there to help each other in times of crisis we are in for bigger problems in this world than hurtful comments made in a drunken rage.

43. Since Redemption is a key requirement of both Judaism and Catholicism (Christianity), I think we can all find it in our hearts to forgive Mr. Gibson. I think these types of comments resonate with different people more than others, because of a shared history. I also think that too much scrutiny of stars like Mr. Gibson is occurring. Yes, they are stars. Yes, they are public figures. And, yes, they are people, too. Just for a minute, put yourselves in their shoes and then ask yourself if you would want to be forgiven if something bad you said was broadcast to the public?

44. Why the ONE SIDED reporting? Harvey needs to get a life and stay out Mel's. Why keep this BS going? Sheesh, you would think the man killed someone.

Back off...... I'm sure you're NO saint.

45. Classic overkill because it is about Jews. Can you believe the ridiculous media reaction for a comment about a single group? You can be SURE if he made the comment about Irish, Italians or Iraquis it would BLOW OVER in no time. Jews? Oh boy, let the hypocrisy hit the fan. It also obviously shows Jews run much of Hollywood and the media as has long be proven. Even pointing out that fact can get you the dreaded label. You know the routine. I will always support Gibson. His movie, Passion, decried by anti-Christians as anti-Semitic was anything but to say the least. That is the last thing you walk out with after seeing that film.
Meanwhile, Jewish- run Hollywood pushes all sorts of filth constantly. Movies with anti-Christian themes are COMMON, cursing, illicit sex, anti-police, anti morals, criminal rappes are COMMON from Hollywood but "big, bad" Mel is the problem. Spare us. Should these Jewish executives be labeled "anti-Christian" for such garbage put out?
If you are white and Christian you are NEVER supposed to say anything about blacks and Jews. The other way around is not only common but promoted. It is all a lie. Hollywood is a cesspool of lies and covering-up. Jews run Hollywood like an iron fist. And anyone who breaks the Stalinist-like chokehold with comments like Gibson's is treated like Hitler. But if you are a drug abuser, wife-beater, common criminal, rapper thug, gay, etc, all is just dandy. What a lie. Support Mel Gibson.
