Ganging up on Mel Gibson

Un hiatus for today. I am adding my own two cents worth of blahg! Not that it matters. And so....

Yes. He deserve all the hate and bigotry and for his drunken anti semitic slurs. But c'mon! He already said sorry! He apologized and I believe he is sincere and he meant it. Of course some would argue, he should have said the apology right then and there and not when he sobered up did he profusely apologized to the jewish community.

There are conservatives defending him. In defense of Mel Gibson, John Derbyshire in his NRO column said....

The guy was drunk, for heaven’s sake. We all say and do dumb things when we are drunk. If I were to be judged on my drunken escapades and follies, I should be utterly excluded from polite society, and so would you, unless you are some kind of saint.

But yet again people would argue, is it really the drunken state or there really is more deeper hatred against the jews hence anti semitic tirade?

Where is Hollywood and why wont they defend one of their own? They're nowhere to be found. They are silent. Hell, most of Hollywood bigwigs are Jews. Deep inside they are disappointed with Mel and his tirades. Would they Abandon him? It looks to be heading that way..for now it seems. Will he lose fans and his movies will tanked? Yes. He did make an ass of him out there. Getting drunk, and saying those slurs. He deserved it. No excuse for it.. except him being drunk and all. He is paying the price now for his actons. His image tarnished.

But... Mel Gibson is one powerful movie star you rarely hear anything from his family..his wife especially, his children had been shielded mostly and free from all the hollywood brouhaha. So Give the guy a break!

Celebrities and famous personalities have been charged with drunk driving too many times, and this time around, Mel Gibson arrested for misdemeanor DUI created a lot judgement because of his anti semitic slurs, truth is if it weren't for those remarks, it probably would made less of an impact. Of course it would be created a lot of publicity because he is a big star. Powerful hollywood player.

At the end of the day once sober, he apologized and made amends again and owned up to his very very stupid grave mistake (that will probably ruined him in hollywood and with friends as well though I doubt. Heck, hollywood is hollwyood if you know what I mean.). He should be getting help now and for his alcoholism problems.

I love Mel and his colorful antics - but this time he obviously went too far. It sucks that a lot of people thought that The Passion Of The Christ was anti-Semitic (it wasn't), and this will just 'confirm' their misguided opinion about that great film. I'll stand behind Mel (unless he does something really horrible, like kill a guy).
