Mel Gibson was recently arrested in Malibu for drunk driving. While being arrested, he apparently made some anti-semitic comments. "Jews are responsible for all the world's wars" He said to his arresting officer. "Are you a f*cking Jew?". Pathetic. What an ass!!

everyone called him anti-semetic when "the passion" was released. his supporters dismissed it as a nasty retaliation by the jews for a movie they felt had a negative portrayal of jews.
well, several years later and the moron proves everyone right. completely on the merits of this incident - no question he's an anti-semite. i hope the jews that run hollywood ban his ass.
Hollywood banned his ass after THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, which is probably why he had a relapse in drinking. I still do not believe the film in anti-semitic. Jewish groups need to accept the fact that Christians have a right to their Gospel, whether they like it or not. I hope all those who call for Mel Gibson to be ostracized, also demand that Tom Hanks and Ron Howard be ostracized for the blatantly anti-catholic film THE DAVINCI CODE. Ha! That'll never happen. Watch Ron Howard get an academy award for best director. Some bigotries are celebrated in Hollywood.
ok - i have a little more time so i wanted to post a follow up comment.
gibson's daddy, hutton, became widely known as an anti-semite and a holocaust denier when his movie was generating so much publicity. his father has said the holocaust is grossly over exagerrated and there's no way so many people could have been killed. during an interview he said, said the jews were out to create "one world religion and one world government."
here's a nice excerpt from the interview:
"They claimed that there were 6.2 million in Poland before the war, and they claimed after the war there were 200,000 - therefore he must have killed 6 million of them," "They simply got up and left! They were all over the Bronx and Brooklyn and Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles." He said the Germans did not have enough gas to cremate 6 million people and that the concentration camps were just "work camps."
the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. it took a drunken episode for gibson to come out from behind the protection of a publicist, p.r. firm, agent and whatever else he has out there helping him with his career. i hope studios get so much heat on this one that he's run out of hollywood. we should have zero tolerance for bigotry like this.
i don't want this conversation to have anything to do with the passion or da vinci code. that's a distraction from the only thing that's important here - gibson, the man (or the pathetic excuse of a man).
My dad thought Jane Fonda was guilty of treason and should have been executed. He refused to watch any of her movies. I just saw MONSTER IN LAW and loved it.
it's one thing to disagree with someone on their politics. after all, politics falls in an arena where we are all free to express our own personal beliefs.
mel gibson is expressing hate and that's something he should be judged on. there should be no disagreement that bigotry is a bad thing.
