First he drives drunk, gets arrested, and gets abusive. Then it turns out he made anti-Semitic remarks along with his other abusive language, and those remarks included “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world”. Then Gibson apologized. Then he apologized again, this time to the Jews, saying (among other things) “I am not an anti-Semite.” So clearly the world longs for my rant on the topic, and here it comes.
I just. Can’t. Stand. It.
Look, the guy didn’t scream “fucking Jews” in a moment of anger and alcoholic haze. If he’d done that and then begged forgiveness and swore up and down he wasn’t an anti-Semite, he’d be an inch in the direction of believable. Because most of us, if we lost control, might say “fucking SOMEBODY” (fill in the blank) and not actually be a bigot, just sort of venting the bile (bad mixed metaphor, go sit in the corner, you bad metaphor).
But he didn’t do that. He said “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world”. Only an anti-Semite could even think of that. If you’re not an anti-Semite, no matter how drunk or angry or crazed you are, you don’t even have that image in your head. Just not.
So fuck you Mel. We the Jews knew you were an anti-Semite long ago. Thanks for offering the proof and ending the argument. I’m waiting for the neo-cons to line up and apologize about to Frank Rich. Buh-bye.
Sucks. He always seemed fun. plus he’s handsome.
Feh. I could never stand him. He seemed nuts years ago. I have a much shorter “can’t stand that actor” list than most people, but he’s been on it for years.
I love him in a good action movie….. but he hasn’t made a good action movie for a long time. His sociopolitital views are antediluvian, and following the usual “people get more consecvative as they get older” he’s getting worse as time goes on…. And the usual “nobody would care about what he thinks if he wasn’t rich and famous” caveat applies doubly in this case.
Remind me to find the poem I wrote about “The Passion of the Christ.” Mel does not come off well in this particular piece.
But it went over smashingly with audiences at Open Mic Night.
I can’t wait, Evn.
Evidently his father is very big in the “holocaust- denyer” movement
Yep, and while he has denied the “like father, like son” allegations, some of his past remarks have been eerily similar to Holocaust-denier rhetoric.
The Poorman has an awesome Q&A on Mel Gibson:
It’s perfectly true that only an anti-Semite would think of saying that. Now, if he had said, “Astroturf! You know who’s reponsible for that, don’t you? The Jews! Jews. They hate grass. They always have.”…that would have been fine. That’s not anti-Semitic. That’s pro-George Costanza.

LOL at today’s Borowitz Report…..
Gibson Converts to Judaism
Changes Name to Mel Gibstein
In his boldest bid yet to apologize to the Jewish community, actor Mel Gibson
today announced that he had converted to Judaism.
The news took many Jews aback, since conversion to Judaism is a demanding
process that can take months or even years of study, and Mr. Gibson accomplished
the feat in a record time of forty-five minutes.
But a spokesman for the “Lethal Weapon” star explained how Mr. Gibson pulled off
his lightning-fast conversion: “This is Hollywood — a lot of things can be done
by special effects.”
Moments after his conversion to Judaism, Mr. Gibson paid a visit to the
registrar’s office in Los Angeles County and had his name legally changed to
“Mel Gibstein” in a show of commitment to his new chosen faith.
Then it was off to Malibu, where the 50-year old actor was bar mitzvahed on the
beach in a small, private ceremony.
“Today, I am a man,” Mr. Gibstein said before a gathering of friends and
well-wishers from the local watering hole Moonshadows. “A Jew man!”
Mr. Gibstein, whose Lexus LS sedan now sports a license plate reading “LCHAIM,”
said that he was “thoroughly enjoying being a Jew” and vowed to only shop
wholesale from now on.
The actor added he would begin production of a new film, “Mad Matzoh Beyond
Thundershalom,” as soon as he kicks his drinking problem.
“I am really committed to reheeb,” he said. “I mean rehab.”

The bris, however, was not as much fun as he’d hoped.
Ouch!
[…] Jewish comedian Jackie Mason says of those of us who are speaking out against Gibson’s anti-Semitism: all these people are very sick; they’re getting a vicious, sick, perverted, sadistic thrill out of this whole thing. […]

We should nail Mel Gibson to a cross, then when he is sufficiently dead, we should tear his body down from the wood and roast his flesh on an open barbecue. After cooked (but yet medium rare), it should be passed around and we should all partake in the eating of Mel Gibson’s flesh.
By eating random white people who look sufficiently like the “stereotypical white jew-hater” role, we can perhaps feed the world and also cure racism forever! Behold the coming of the politically-correct third reich. Who do we eat next after Mel? Maybe you, mofo?
