Behar to Gibson -- Get a Public Circumcision

46. Yes, Mel Gibson has said some pretty bad stuff. And, clearly he needs some help with his addiction...thankfully, it came out for him now before real danger caught up with him. Mel's apologized (twice now), so let it be already. Really people. I know for myself that on some choice days, I wouldn't want my life played for the world to see. Let's just pray for Mel to get well and clean up his life and let's stop judging him for his wrongs. Didn't you ever hear the verse that talks about removing the plank from your own eye before you go pointing the finger at someone else's wrongs. Jesus forgives us of EVERYTHING we've ever done and sets us free from our sins...let's think about that and forgive Mel for this one incident for which he is surely hanging his head down low already.

47. there are a lot of people, including myself, who DO NOT want to hate anyone but NOTICE the actions of Jews. while pseudo-intellectual witch hunters like the ADL deflect revisionist history and revisionist biblical record to favor Israel, they BLIND THE MASSES by singling out and persecuting ONE PERSON in the media – today it’s Gibson.

you guys are killing hundreds of INNOCENT CIVILIANS in Lebanon and have been doing so for years in the Gaza, murdering in the name of God (promised land that was delivered to you and lost a long, long time ago!) how is that kind of country-establishing halal? your neighbors will always hate you and true Christians see that it is not beneath you to use Christian soldiers and blood to establish your zionist ambitions - an organization more devious and sinister than any Hamas or Hezbollah.

can i tell you who are holy people? MONKS: like Tibetan monks, Christian monks. YOU BARTER MORALITY and want to hide behind laws that prohibit people from stopping you from orchestrating false disasters to blame on Arabs. you get away with murder by calling people anti-semites if they speak out against your actions. how do you explain getting away with the numerous UN violations, illegal weapons pileup and the money laundering of the American charities to funnel to Israel. Isn’t raping South Africans from their diamond mines enough?

as for the apostate Christianity here in American - let them not fool the Muslim or European Christian - you are misguided, lost and puppets for the puppeteers. You speak before educating yourselves – the most dangerous kind of all – the uneducated advocate. Life is not a football game to just root for the home team. You need to understand right and wrong.

49. The 2 ladies at "The View" should be ashamed of themselves! If both of these ladies live in glass houses, they should not throw stones! I am not a big fan of Mr. Gibson's, and yes, he made a mistake, but people are blowing this way out of proportion. Ms. Walters of all people should know to keep her comments private. She has a family, and what if her daughter did or said something like this? Does that mean the tables should be turned? And as for Ms. Behar, it's time for her to go! Did god make her his right hand? Mr. Gibson is not an O.J Simpson, that is someone the ladies should make their rude comments about.

50. That isn't news, it's just typical Joy Behar "comedy". Ugh. Yeah, that rather prudish bitch Liz's meltdown warrants celebrity gossip news coverage on TMZ.

51. Now now Elizabeth, I understand your stance on the morning after pill but if you are such a good christian person, forgiveness should be in your heart for Mr. Gibson. Love the sinner hate the sin!

52. I agree with Joy. She is so funny. When a person is drunk they say how they really feel about any subject. No matter how many apologies he gives, His drunken statement will not change for real.

53. I can't believe so many of you are defending my Gibson by saying "he was just drunk". I've been drunk many times and I have NEVER spewed hateful garbage like Mel did. being drunk didn't change him, it just showed who most of us already knew he was.

And YES, he has every right to say what he wants, just like we have every right to dislike him, ignore him, not work with him, and boycott his movies for what he says.

54. I loved Joys comments....his anti-semetic comments were horendous.I also will not be seeing any of his movies....His apologies mean nothing,all publicity.

55. Who the hell is this Joy Person? Comedian? of what? When? Some shriveled up hag . As for barbara walters so you wont see Mels movies, but you sure would interview him if you could..long as it makes you look important. The man apologized who the hell are you to judge him. You would prefer to kiss up to celebrities when you want a story then spit on them when they make an error in judgement ..mel has been a decent man and when he missteps you all attack him.

Turn the other cheek you hags.. I will never watch that crap show you old witches are on.

56. With regards to Barbara Walters and her clapping trained seals on the view....P.U. Because I have no intention of seeing a group of woman especially Barbara Walters who spews anti-catholic venum on her show on occasion. The real story behind the entirely sad Mel Gibson incident that is completely being ignored by TMZ.com and the rest of the world media, is the twenty four million dollar question that everyone refuses to ask: Who at the police department leaked the report to the media which was obviously done with the intent to defame and destroy Mel Gibson's carreer and reputation, and more importantly his ability to make a living in Hollywood.? In the past few days the National Director of the Anti Defamation League was calling for Holly wood to distance itself from Mel Gibson. And just yesterday a very well known and powerful Hollywood Agent has now called on the industry to boycott Mel Gibson. Quite obviously the punishment that is being called for does not fit the crime because all Mel Gibson was charged with is DUI. The comments Mel Gibson made while totally inappropriate were made in a drunken state after he was charged with speeding on a highway and charged with drunk driving. Drunks make the most inappropriate and fouled mouthed remarks whenever police officer apprehend them for some crime or driving while drunk. The inappropriate comments were made to two police officers in the middle of the night on a darkened highway. How do comments that were made to two police officers by a visably drunk man who obviously has personal problems and caught speeding and driving while drunk become an international story around the world. It was obviously leaked from within that police station by someone who was privy to all the details of this sad debacle. It should be a priority for police authorities to investigate who would do such a low and cowardly thing while working in a police station. As far as I am concerned this secreative individual or mole that leaked the exact details of the comments made to those two arresting police officers can somehow be viewed as a modern day Judas who probably received their 30 pieces of silver for their deed. Now Mel Gibson who made the blockbuster "Passion of the Christ", is having to carry a cross of his own for actually having the temerity, tenacity and courage to make that 2004 Blockbuster film that was a huge world wide success despite spending $25 million of his own money to make that tremendously movie successful movie about the last hours of the life of Jesus Christ. Everyone quite clearly understands that the severity of the fall out for Mel Gibson totally stem from the fact that he challenged the power structue of Hollywood and succeeded beyond their wildest expectations by making the Passion without their financial backing. I just want to add my prayers and hopes for Mel Gibson and his family and that God will be able to make Mel Gibson and his family much stronger because of this terrible set back for himself and for relations between Mel Gibson and the Jewish community. May an infinitely forgiving God of mercy and love bring peace to Mel Gibson and those in the Jewish community he may have offended with his unkind remarks while caught drinking and driving.
God Bless Mel Gibson and the entire Jewish Community. Peace and forgiveness without any conditions are the way to go. God does not make conditions when we repent of our sins and he forgives us, and neither should anyone ask conditions to offer forgiveness to someone who has offended them.

57. Interesting to hear Barbara Walters say she wont go to another Mel Gibson movie. I wonder if she and Joy Behar go to Woody Allen movies aka (I married my stepdaughter, and dated her when she was a minor) and Roman Polanski movies aka(child rapist)
Those two guys are still making movies and get standing ovations. Hollywood and hypocrisy are incredible... Elite hollywood liberals are the absolute worst.

58. We all have done some pretty stupid things while drunk...Mel's no different than anyone else. The man has apologized profusely for this although in my mind this is really his personal battle and he shouldn't have to be worried about public outcry in the first place. This really does stink of the press trying to draw all of the attention away from Israel's war in Lebanon...they've done a good job so far, look what we're all wasting our time with. As for the view...what the hell does circumcision have to do with being Jewish anymore? I am Catholic and am missing a bit of skin down there, if you know what I mean, along with I'm sure quite a bit of other non-Jewish types. That comment by what's her name on that show makes no sense at all...come into the 21st century with the rest of us for God's sake. Good on ya Mel...hang in there, get well, get back to doing all the good things you do! Time to get out all the Mel Gibson movies and enjoy the performance's!

59. I don't like extremists in any religion and Mel is extreme in his. Yes, people do believe that much of the USA's troubles are because we support (financially etc.) Isreal. Soon to be host Rosie O'Donnell says inflamatory crap all the time....can't wait to see the cat fights on the show. Mel is ignorant and so is Rosie....read her blog she is sympathetic to those we are fighting abroad. It is a free country and we do have freedom of speech or does it depend on who is saying it??????

FDA needs to approve the morning after pill NOW.....for our girls who have to suffer the shame....of their innocent ignorance.

60. Come to think of it, I don't think I will ever watch another Barbara Walters interview ever again....she is so mean, trying to get the person she is interviewing to cry for her pathetic ratings. She asks questions like, "What was it like for you when you watched your loved ones eaten by that grizzly bear?" They should answer back, "Well DUH!! How do you think I felt you ratings-hungry lispy bitch! I appreciate that Hassleback goes against the tide with her sometime conservative viewpoints against the other cackling hens on that show......but you know what Babs, you need that producer dude of yours who sits in the audience to referee some of your discussions.....all you women just don't know when to shut up and speak in turn.....do you know how freaking annoying it is when you babbling old maids are trying to get your two cents in AT THE SAME TIME!???? It really is hard to watch....I can't believe I'm admitting that I OCCASIONALLY watch...more for the guests than the hosts....although Meredith was a classy lady....love them legs. Anyway, Babs....if you were smarter, you would invite Mel to your show to explain his actions (for the ratings) rather than being a mean old lady.
