Mel Gibson: Radical Christian Fundamentalist?

Heatherj43

I have no idea why, but I found the whole thing comical when I heard it.
I heard it this way...He was speeding down a coastal highway and had been drinking, so he gets pulled over. I heard he said to the cop, "the jews are responsible for all the crimes in the world, oh and are you a jew?".
All I could imagine is that the cop had his name tag on and had a jewish name, so that is what prompted it.
I have to laugh every time I hear someone get all political about this. His statement is funny and asking the cop if he's a jew was even funnier.
I know if I was getting arrested for being drunk...I might get a bit obnoxious. I think that is all this was. He was being a smartass and I think its funny.
It cracked me up.

Dude, enough with the radical fundamentalism already. You made your point already. You're like some kind of uber-apologist for the Arab world, and I don't see the point. Do you really think that everyone on this continent is so dumb that they cannot differentiate between so-called normal Muslims and extremists? How much of this problem exists in society as a whole, and how much of it exists in your own mind?

Oh yeah ... And I do think Mel Gibson is a bigot.

becasue cop ran plate long before he pulled him over...cop knew exactly who he was dealing with...maybe cop thought his importance is mightier than the mel.....anyway; mel gibson is gonna be treated exactly how any dui offender is in california, and so maybe this event will make some changes in our policies concerning search and seizure. if he had drugs on him,they could force him to forfeit all his assets becasue they say that assets are gained by activity surrounding possesions or processign.....thank god for mel, he didn't have any herb on him....time will tell...besides americans need a distraction and this takes all the attention away from other destruccion in world;

i'm sorry this happened to mel gibson or anyone that drives drunk, but on the other hand, legal limitation of .08 is a bit too low to be drunk if a person is a maintenance drinker. i once knew someone who blew.59 and legally they were considered dead, but vitallyl, they came along kicking and a screaming...each person has a different tolerance..if i were to drink a double shot of beer it would make me drunk....if another person drank the same drink; they wouldn't even wet theri wistle...blower......

i am not for drinking and driving, but i think that our laws are too stringent concerning spiritied intoxication...they are running commercials that say if you are buzzed, then it's a dui...it looks like legal limit will be resulted in no tolerance......it's your future; not mine.

*/edit most events related to alcoholism are hilarious and comical, its just a shame that someone is destroying their liver in the process...same person i know got a dui, once as well, he thought he was going straight to the joint....he ran physically from cops and then they ran him over with their car...it was a headline, " you'll have to shoot first..." when i asked this person about it, he claimed there was a hit and run...it was not that way at all; it was more like a run and hit.....;). he's dead now...found drowned with a
.29.....he had a family, too....but it appears that his family is far more happy without alcoholism in their lives....this is why it is best to do silly, crazy things without substance.....peace heather43......

Me....I wholeheartedly agree that drunk driving alone isn't that funny, but for some reason Gibson's statements crack me up. I've dome some embarassing things hwne drunk..and even worse when cops got involved. I think that is why it strikes me as so funny.
The cop also made sure this little chat got to the press. I am sure that the snide remarks I have made to cops don't go in their reports. But..I am not Mel Gibson!
He had a personal moment and people are taking his being a smart ass way too serious.
I too think .08 is way too low. One beer puts me over the limit. That is crazy!! I should be able to have a beer and drive.

I've heard depending on your size, .08 is between 3 and 4 drinks..

Grrr, I hate Abraham Foxman, what a prick.

"We are glad that Mel Gibson has finally owned up to the fact that he made anti-Semitic remarks, and his apology sounds sincere. We welcome his efforts to repair the damage he has caused," Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, told The Associated Press. "Once he completes his rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, we will be ready and willing to help him with his second rehabilitation to combat this disease of prejudice."

This guy is always so much better than everyone else. That's right you dumb ass prejudice is a disease. It couldn't be that the guy was drunk and obviously has difficulty over this war. What a dumb shit, I hate the ADL.

Why are you consumed with so much hatred and heavy feelings towards others, my friend?

Has the world been that bad to you?

Would you be having the same reaction if Mel's remarks were directed towards Black people, or Arabs?
I too have problems with the ADL, but maybe they are more general than yours?

I'm not consumed by hatred, I'm a pretty easy going guy.

But Mr. Foxman endlessly labels people anti-semitic and makes up stupid legislation. If you are important, let's say you are Mel Gibson, you got a couple of movie deals and you get hammered one night and spout some shit about Jews. Next thing you know - care of Abe - your face is plastered all over the TV with anti-semite written all over it, you lose most of your contracts and your life turns to shit until you apologize. Even then the prick can't let you live with the fact it was a mistake, he goes and says you have a disease that you need help with. Foxman is a disease, he's done this time and time again.

It really hits home for you because you can imagine yourself doing the same thing - spouting off anti-semitic remarks like that.

If it was directed at Black people or arabs Foxman wouldn't have said anything. He only cares about jews.

If it was about blacks or arabs maybe Elijah Mohammed would come back from the dead and kick Mel's ass. I dunno, Foxman and Elijah have the same goals, supremacy.

Unfortunately they fucked him with the speeding thing. That's pretty fast for PCH actually, I was thinking Km/h. some spots you can do this extremely easy and quite safely though.

...
Yeah... in Orange County or that stretch North of Malibu to County Line.
You live in L.A. right? You and I have driven PCH through Malibu hundreds or thousands of times... 87 MPH in, as it turns out to be, a 45 is too fucking fast. And you know that that part through Malibu is a bit tricky... especially that uneven, curvy part up by the Pier and the Malibu Inn and the Jack In The Box... only assholes go fast through there... it's a commercial zone followed by residences and the street is always in a state or repair or has massive potholes.
He gets pulled over and blows a .12... if that's you or me... what do you think is going to happen next? We try to fun... get verbally abusive and act like an asshole... what will we get? Being a celebrity doesn't mean... or SHOULDN'T mean you get to do whatever you feel and get away with it. But, they do.

Dude, Mel Gibson is a celebrity, so he has to live with both the positive and negative of being a celeb.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was such a huge actor, he probably would not have his fancy car and fancy houses in Malibu, nor would he be in the position to make hundred of millions on a single movie.

One event can elevate you to celeb status and the riches it brings, but at the same time, one event can ruin you just as easily.

Live by the proverbial sword, and die by it too!

And, forgive me for the slippery slope, but he is lucky he got pulled over...who knows what harm may have come to him or others had he kept going 87mph down PCH.

No doubt drunk driving is something I hate and Mel probably deserves whatever he gets. I still think celebrities should be treated like everyone else. Mr Foxman does this to politicians more often than celebrities and if you are just a noname civilian you end up in jail.
