1. Mel Gibson just requested a meeting with the head of Jewish bloggers. Read all about it at http://www.citizenofthemonth.com/2006/08/02/mel-gibson-requests-meeting-with-neilochka/

My coffee just went through my nose!

2. What Mel really needs is a good PR person! And to have him pick a few top talk shows and make the rounds and tell the country how sorry he is -- such as on "The Windy Moore Show."

3. The haters of Hollywood are simply going in for the kill.



If anything, the drunken rant from Mel was probably because of THAT same hypocrisy and flack he got from the "hollywood jews" over the Passion movie. They hate him because he simply told the truth in the Passion: Christ WILLINGLY GAVE his life (and that was portrayed), but the Jewish Pharasees headed the persecution and the fight to end Christ's life.

Hollywood Jew is NOT a true Jew!

Hollywood Jews persecute Christians. That's being clearly seen.

4. My Gawd! Now we have to hear if you are the 'correct type' of Jew in order to be good. For Christs sake, and I mean that, this crap is just crap. The guy is swimming for his life. If he would just shut up now and let it die down a bit, he may survive. But, instead, he wants the help of the Jewish Community Leaders to help him to understand why he did what he did. AMAZING!!!! FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!

5. I wish the media would get over the Gibson story. It's truly been played to death now. Gibson didn't kill anyone, but you'd think he'd commited mass murder the way the media is attempting to villify the man. He made a mistake as we all have and will continue to do as long as we're living. Leave the man alone. He has apologized and frankly he should apologizing to himself rather than spending energy trying to appease the public. Who cares what "WE" think of him. What he said is between him and his God. He knows what is truly in his heart. Either see his movies or don't , but can you shut up about it already? ! "Passion of the Christ" was a huge success without the help of the industry. The media has had it in for the guy ever since.

6. I gaurantee if it were Muslims that Mel had gone on a rant on, and accused of being responsible for all wars...this would already be over. Barbara Walters wouldn't be publicly boycotting his films etc...he wasn't denying the holocaust or anything like that. It seems these days alright to label Muslims as terrorists, but if you say anything about Jews your blacklisted...that's Hollywood I guess baby! There is no denying however what Isreal is doing in Lebanon is atrocious! Do I hate Jews for saying that ? Probably to Barbara Walters!

8. I find this all unreal, the man made a very bad mistake, so what do we want from him now to burn him at the stake, or better yet throw him in a lions den and let them have him for supper, that doesn't make us any better then him. Think about it.

10. Enough!
Common, "I never had sexual relations with that woman". If we can forgive that, I can certainly forgive Mel. Leave him alone and let it go. Why would he care if he ever works in Hollywood or with the Hollywood Jews again? I'll continue to see every movie he ever puts out from this day forward. He's a great actor, philanthropist, and movie maker. Trash news at this point.

12. ENOUGH ALREADY !! Now the jews want to show their compassion by hanging the guy in the public square, with the need to humiliate the guy,.... that sure sways a lot of people to their side... they need this especially with the war crimes they are committing in the ME right now. Why is it not OK to NOT like jews and say so.
I don't like peanut butter either. Is that too strong ? ENOUGH ALREADY...

13. Mel, a religious bigot, will need "root canal" style therapy. Where is he going to recover? Of course, at his multi-million dollar home with his own personal therapists. Sounds to me as if a "relapse" will occur, again. He is not ready to give up certain "controls" in his life that are defeating him from within.

14. OK-

This is what pisses me off!
It's going to take how long for the DA to file charges????
This shows how F'd up LAPD and their band of DA's are.
If it was someone you knew that had been arrested for a DUI, they would've been in jail and sentenced already. It's sad how these people take advantage over normal people. It just shows that money does get to people's heads no matter how humble ot great they perceive themselves to be.

15. What I fear is some of those good people, who don’t go to movies, but flocked to see The Passion of the Christ are tacitly agreeing with Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic statements, even as he more or less denies them. I’m afraid they may be glad a big celebrity gave voice to their beliefs. Because I write big, comic Southern novels, I tour the South. I’ve spoken to groups in beautiful homes, stuffed with antiques, where even at 10:00 AM a miasma of bourbon floated from the thick, silk drapes and Oriental carpets. When I said I was Jewish I felt a frisson ripple through the well-dressed crowd. They were invariably polite, but it was clear, I was no longer “their kind.” I am also afraid some of the not-so-closeted anti-Semites in bars and back-yards, not just in the South, but across the country are nodding their heads and saying, “You tell it like it is, Mel.”
