Mel's Moonshadows Madness

91. As I have followed Mel Gibson's career since highschool, I am amazed at how much time is spent attacking his character rather than focusing on his talent as an actor and director. I really believe it's time we as an audience become more human and allow Mr. Gibson and others in the entertainment business some privacy. How many of us are followed by our work to restaurants and bathrooms when we've clocked out for the day? We tend to forget he also deals with the same issues we all do, however we don't grant him the same "common courtesy" we ourselves take for granted. However, I suppose the word "common" will need to be dropped, leaving the word "courtesy" since there doesn't appear to be anything common about it.

93. Mel's rant is interesting in these times, when it is revealed that the Israeli lobby in America is the MOST powerful lobby.
It is interesting and true that Hollywood has been dominated by Jewish people.
The Jewish people should be proud of their accomplishments. They have had a hard time as a people for the last 2000 years. However, they must get over their illusion that they are the chosen people. This attitude sets them apart, blinds them to the hurt they cause others, and engenders much irrational hatred of them.
Remember that while many if not most Jews lived in horrible ghettos, many Jews were middle class and contributing members of European society. And, the Rothschilds, a Jewish family, dominated the financial world, and much of European events through their banking. They were justifiably feared and hated for their manipulations. The fact that they and other Jews conciously set themselves apart from Europe did not help. I know they were ostracized, but their alienation from any host society they live in contributes to this. In some ways, it was not Jews, but Jewish attitudes that contributed to the horrible situation in Europe for many years.
Once the Jewish people were "given" Israel, it was hoped, they would be home and all would be well. But they had ancient conflicts with their cousins the Palestinians.
Now we American people realize or find out that most of our Mid East policy has been run by the Israelis....yet another problem involving the Jewish people.
With no malice towards any Jewish people (I may have Sephardic ancestry via Spain/New Mexico), it seems that the Jewish people have been at the heart of humanity's major problems over the last 200 years or so.
Why is that?

95. Ok Jack. Maybe he was not that "drunk" and maybe he really is just crazy!!
Thank You for pointing that out!
I dont like what Mel Gibson has done or said and i think he is going to get a lot of punishment for that but, Mel will be back in a great movie in a couple of years and you wont even remember all this mess.
Look at the wonderful Robert Downey Jr.

96. The man was DRUNK when he made these comments, so they shouldn't be taken seriously. The real issue is that he was driving drunk and could have killed himself or somebody else. That is the REAL issue here.

And who is silly enough to believe that the truth comes out when somebody is drunk? According to this so-called logic, all of those drunken bums on skid row are speaking the truth!

This incident is just being blown out of proportion to punish Mel for Passion of the Christ.

If he had said something about Arabs, Asians, Latinos, Christians, Blacks, Women or Southerners, the media wouldn't care at all because they themselves broadcast derogatory comments about all of the above groups, and make lots of money doing it.

If Hollywood really cared about bigotry, the media, particularly talk radio, wouldn't be such a racist cesspool.

97. OH! come on! give the guy a break. The reality is that we always have a day or two that we may regreat for one reason or another. This guy has done more for himself than probably quite a few of the people who are writting here. He just had a night when he went out, had a few drinks he should have not had and made something stupid. Period. The most stupid being behind the wheel while drunk instead of calling a cab. But for partying? Or even yelling? BS. The fact that someone took some pictures of him huging some fans does not make him a bad dad or even husband. What do we all know? Just let it go! Leave the man alone!

98. I've seen a type of "pulled over" rage that some people go through when they get pulled over. They go totally insane! Maybe that's what happened to Mel mixed with booze.

100. Mel has a big stupid loud mouth. He has outed himself. He screwed his own career with his primitive remarks. The closet racist is now outa the closet. Maybe he feels guilty for hating jews. The jews are God's chosen people. Whoever does evil to the jews, evil will be done unto them. THIS COULD BE GOD'S WAY OF STOPPING MEL FROM MAKING A HATE PROPAGANDA FILM ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST. He denied hating jews while making PASSION. He is a liar and a fraud. HE NEEDS TO GROW UP AND STOP HATING.

101. you guys are right. so much hate in the world and we focus on one of the gods that our idolatry has created. give him a break or better yet forgive him, he is only human. quit hyping about all those hollywood-created idols, and focus on the one true GOD. then maybe we will find the cure for aids, feed the hungry, house the homeless, do what we were put here on earth for.

102. From great antiquity forth they have known and possessed it.

Those of the next level loved and praised it.

The next were in awe of it.

And the next despised it.



If you lack sincerity no one will believe you.



How careful she is with her precious words!

When her work is complete and her job is finished,

Everybody says: "We did it!" Pop culture is not worth the

trash it's written on!

Fix your own lives before you judge others, famous or other.
