Behar to Gibson -- Get a Public Circumcision

Posted Aug 2nd 2006 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

NEW YORK (AP) -- Comedian Joy Behar is suggesting a painful way for Mel Gibson to show he's sorry.

Behar said on "The View" that Gibson "needs to be welcomed into the Jewish community by a public circumcision."

Behar also said that Gibson's apology won't change him. She adds, "People like him have it in them to just hate."

Earlier this week, Barbara Walters had said she'd never see another Gibson movie again, and says that his second apology hasn't changed her mind.

2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this "people like him have it them to hate" the same logic that anti-Semites and racists use, namely, that there are certain kinds of people that just are ontologically flawed? Returning contempt with contempt is no way to handle this issue for it puts you in the same place as the bigot.

5. If anyone has ever heard what Joy has expressed, one can certainly say that she is projecting. The man was drunk......cut him some slack.

6. I agree that Elisabeth was a much bigger deal. I give her mad props for being very passionate and not being afraid in a group of women who definitely aren't as conservative as she is. I hope she stays on the show for a long time.

7. To TimmyTommy:

It is quite different to judge an entire race or ethnicity as "ontologically flawed" from making a generalized observation about an individual based on that individual's specific behavior. The latter doesn't make you a bigot -- only a judge of character.

8. Joy should be replaced by the well-known cable hostess, Windy Moore.

9. way to go Hassellback, The powers that be are protecting u from the onslaught from the media, that your mornings performance on the View would have caused,(i.e the morning after pill meltdown). I bet TMZ would have been all over the story if it were say Star Jones had this meltdown, but noooo, its ok for the pretty white girl to throw a tantrum.

10. Mel Gibson will continue to make derogatory statements about Jews followed by "I'm not anti-semitic, some of my best friends are Jews" statements. That kind of hatred is very evil and I consider him and others like him dangerous to all mankind.

13. We knew that the "agreeing with Mel" comment(s) would not make it on here... This is exactly what Mr. Gibson was talking about! No wonder he said what he did!

14. Drunken comments should not be the big story. DRIVING while intoxicated should be. Joy Behar..... you ladies of The View are self-righteous bigots yourself.

15. #2 TimmyTommy. No it's not the same thing. Joy's remarks are toward Mel Gibson and people that make racist, biggotted remarks. If you make a deragatory statement about a group of people by specifying their race, creed or color as did MG you are being a racist. If Joy had said Catholics or Australians like him then she would be just as bad since the point is people are bad individually, not because of their heritage. Get it? Got it? Good!
