Mel Surrenders to Sawyer

1. It's annoying how he is just apologizing to every single Jew he sees.

2. Well i guess we should all realize that he would probably get it worse if he said something else like racist towards black people or something- i doubt anyone would say anything if he said it ab mexicans' etc- just depends on which one you pick on which is just sad overall- let it go- move on- the only reason it is even an issue is because people are overreacting- everyone can have their own opinion- who cares how he feels about anyone else- what's the big deal?

3. Mel: GET THE HELP YOU NEED, PLEEEEEEZE!
He has contributed too much to just watch him slide, and ruin himself...
Apologizing is one of the first steps to healing...tackling the demons straight on.
wishing him luck...

4. I was a heavy drinker. AA did nothing for me. You go to meetings and hear everyone there tell you they are alcoholics. All they try to do is sell you there books and stuff. If you want to quit you will and can.

5. If this idiot was a true christain, he wouldnt be the alcoholic racist scumbag schovenstic pig we all see. The reason the media and everyone is making such a big deal about this is because he has convinced all these stupid brainwashed christians that he serves The Lord so you idiots can make him more rich and go see his movies. The same thing goes for Bush, they have all you brainwashed christians bible readers thinking they read the bible, only for their wealth and power. Than in reality they go agaisnt everything the religion preaches. They could both shoot a baby in the head on national television and you would still defend him just because they say they are a chrisitian. I dont read the bible or concider myself a chrisitan and would never say the racist things he said agaisnt any group of people or get in my car when Im piss ass drunk to go kill people. All you people that defend him all need to get a new celebrity to look up too.... A real talented person that doesnt have to be part of any religion to get already brainwashed fans.

8. He's definitely a self-admitted addict...this is so sad .

#3:
Please do not judge so harshly. And do NOT equate human killing mongrel BUSH with Mel. Two different people. Mel is AGAINST the war, so read up on your facts, please.

He does need to deal with this hard core addiction. Sad.

9. Screw Mel and his BS apologies. If anyone is bothered, they can read up on the actual sect of Catholicism that Mel and his daddy belong to. To call them anti-semitic- well, it's like saying the KKK don't like black folks too much. In other words, a real freakin understatement.

The church says the Holocaust was overexaggerated, that the utterly ridiculous "zion and the protocols..:" book is real (it's supposedly proof positive of a worldwide conspiracy of nasty, evil Jews- and it's BS too, actually a forgery of a earlier tirade against invading Napoleanic forces- swap 'french' for 'jew' and you get the idea)- the church he has lived his whole life in is as anti-jew as one can get. Mel didn't get drunk and say something stupid, Mel got plastered and let his true feelings show. Granted, most of us have been catastrophically drunk and done something dumb- but how many of us have just spontaneously turned racist?

10. I think that Mel is doing what he needs to heal. I applaud his courage with his requests for forgiveness from the Jewish community. He will need to continue humbling himself, if he wants to remain sober and level headed. My prayers are with him and his family. I think Mel will come out of this even more fabulous and respected than before this incident.

11. Looks to me like he playing the role of a lifetime. He's not remorseful, he caught red handed tying to commit murder by driving drunk with his vehicle as the weapon.

Why don't all the Mel "lovers" stand in the middle of the road. We'll get Mel drunk put him behind the wheel of a semi and let him run you all down. Then will all except his apologies cuss no big loss anyway. Right?

12. If you work in Hollywood long enough, not only will you hate Jews, but lazy ass teamsters, and spics who work craft services and spit in the food.

13. #3, being a Christian does not mean you don't make mistakes. It means you have forgiveness for your mistakes. Mel is a practicing Christian by making a mistake and asking forgiveness. The more you grow as a Christian the more your life and how you live it will reflect how "grown up" of a Christian you are. Perhaps Mel is still in the baby stages, or just had a regression ... maybe call it a midlife crisis in his Christian life. To say someone is not a true Christian because they make a mistake is saying you must think Christians are perfect. In reality, church is a Hospital For Sinners, and Mel is doing the right thing. Yes he was wrong for what he did, he knows that, he admits that, he can't change that, he can only ask forgiveness and move forward with whatever God has in store for him. No matter how bad something is, whether it happens to you (as in a victim) or you cause it to happen to yourself (as in making your own mistakes), a true Christian will find something good to take from it and that is exactly what Mel has done... is doing. When you condem all us "brainwashed Christians" perhaps you need to take a cue from Mel and NOT spew your hate towards others, lest you be the one judged by all. Just learn from him, the results are not pretty, and you certainly seem to have hate in large supply. Alcoholic, racist, chauvenist, scum bag.... as you call him, but isn't he lucky he has hope and spirituality, forgiveness and eternal life regardless of these qualities you say he has?

I for one have done my share of mistakes, wished I could take them back but of course can't. The day I can't forgive someone, no matter what... well thats the day I ask for all my mistakes to be held against me. I think I'll forgive Mel the same as I forgive John, #3 for spewing hate against me and my faith, brainwashed we are not.

15. #3.....oh you poor poor thing. First off, not to be an anal person but when you (and I quote) said 'All you people that defend him all need to get a new celebrity to look up "too" '? Boy, us 'brainwashed christians' sure opened our eyes to your preaching! Golly golly gosh willikers me oh my my oh me....

Anyways, secondly, I'd like to say to all the hate mongers out there who blew this all way out of proportion- "Go slit your wrists now and get yourselves off of this world you despise so much so that we all don't have to listen to your whiny complaints anymore". You think your perfect? Well, sorry to bust your bubble, but you're not. We're HUMAN and that doesn't exclude celebrities. I mean hell, look at Paris Hilton. 'Nuff said.

Now, Mel is human and he got drunk, said some things, end of story. Would you love it if people threw your alcoholism, heroin, cocaine, or spousal abuse issues in your face? No you wouldn't. So shut up. GROW UP. Forgive.

And for all those who hate me right now, please, go sell your blind idiocy and ignorance to a more gullible audiance and perhaps then you can crawl into whatever hole you came out of happy as a clam while us "anti-sematic brainwashed christians" can come and get you in your sleep under Mel's "gestapo tactics".

Ta!
