Gibson Surfaces -- and He's Plenty Mad

46. mel sucks, i bet you can't even remember 3/4 of the films he's done. he's never ever got an oscar for acting and those directing/producing oscars were one time in the mid 90's, ten years ago. he's been in the business since 1977! not a good record for such a "good" actor. he's got a face like the decadent drunk that he is.
of course the paparazzi are going to follow him, he made a public ass of himself, defamed a whole religion (and this wasn't the first time he's been like this for years ) bankrolls an anti-semitic movie, builds his own anti-semitic church,because we catholics in the real world don't believe in that anti-judaic crap.
and just because he apologized doesn't mean he doesn't still habor the same biggoted feelings. you pro-mel sympathizers probably feel the same way or you would also be offended. I as a devout Catholic am shamed by him!

47. Harvey, since when is saying the word "Jew" a racial slur? But I suppose when a non-Jew uses it is? Does that hold true for Catholics and Muslims? Truly, this medium, TMZ.com should be more ashamed of itself.

I suppose Harvely LEVIN you are not through and will continue bashing Mel Gibson for his personal beliefs and expecting people to follow your mis-led, bias, self-serving mission. When Mel asked the cop if he was a Jew? Why is that offensive? He was a Jew. Oops I just used a racial slur.....You Mr. Levin are an idiot.

48. Leave Mel alone. He said he was sorry. What more do you want Mr. Levin? Why are you so unforgiving? I love Mel. He is awesome and I will continue to see his movies. God bless Mel.

50. "First, they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Jew. Then, they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Catholic, Then they came for the Protestants, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Protestant. Then they came for me..."

In this country, all have equal rights. We need to speak up when any group is slandered, or marginalized. I know each one of us would want the same support, if any of us experienced any kind of discrimination.

Freedom of speech does not include slander, reckless disregard for the truth, or language whose only purpose is malice.

In this country, freedom of speech implies resposibility. In this internet age, where anyone can post to a blog, it is important to view multiple anonymous postings with skepticism. Would these anonymous bloggers say the same thing, if their identities were known?

A large number of postings praising racist or anti-semitic remarks (or their author) should not be construed to be any kind of scientific sample of readers of the blog, or any kind of scientific sample of the general population.
