By now you have all heard the story from this weekend on Mel Gibson.. It has plagued the news for the past few days. This morning I heard two news anchors discussing how it is the end of Gibson's career.
Lets go back a couple of days to the first we heard of this "episode". I believe the headlines went something like "Mel Gibson goes on Anti Semitic tirade". Really?? Holy bat mitzvah! I could only picture it in my head as being extremely crazy, Mel going up to some Jewish person and must have gone on about how all Jew's must die, and the Holocaust never happened or it deserved to happen. I could only imagine the worst really. Not that what he said was good, however it wasn't the Hollywood drama it is portrayed.
In the past few weeks a Democrat potential Presidential nominee, made a "slanderous" comment about a particular culture, that hardly made the news. No talk of his career being over. Of course that's politics not Hollywood, and we all know Hollywood is what runs the Country.(sarcasm folks).. Hollywood has long been anti-christian. Now days we are more shocked over pro-christian tones in Hollywood rather than the opposite.
So is what Mr. Gibson said really anti-semitic?? I hardly believe so, but often those who are able like to pin Christian whites with bigotry (mmmhhhmm Rush Limbaugh...) Should he have said the idiotic things he did, no, is he going to start committing "hate" crimes against Jewish people, I doubt it. Is his career over?? If Mad Max didn't end his career I doubt this will. Will Jewish people stop watching his films? Heck they are too cheap to buy movie tickets anyway!! (again sarcasm) Word of advise to Mel, don't bite the hand that feeds you, we all know who funds Hollywood.. Really though, don't be such Jews people LIghten up!! Can't we all just get along, we all know the Muslims are the ones we need to watch out for...
