Re: Mel
Should the guy be able to redeem himself or is he beyond redemption? Is an anti-semitic always going to be one? Likewise, is a white supremacist always a white supremacist?

Mel makes movies. People can see them or not. Not anyone's business to interfere in his life. This whole issue is so yesteryear.

You know, All the Mad Max series have been playing on cable as well as Braveheart on HBO and Cmax....I watched and I'm pretty sure a helluva alot of others did too.

I'm tired of Him getting ripped to shreds. He's been though enough I'd say and it seems his friends, some who happen to be Jewish have not made an issue of hi alleged Antisematic tirade.

Seriously why is he doing this? He made comments about Jews. So did Sheen, but for some reason they hate Mel more, because of his dad or his religion. I don't know why it matters to him whether he does it or not. The ADL will never forgive him even if he rescued a boat full of drowning Jewish babies. They just hate Mel for being Mel.

There aren't any other super heroes to work on in history? I thought Maccabees was a city or town in the Bible?

All this mel gibson bashing is to be expected, given his stupid comments. However, The Israelis were behind 9/11 along with the US government. Take it from there. Also, how is it that 6 million Jews were killed during the holocaust, if there were only 2 million living in all of Europe at the start of WWII? How does that add up?

Perhaps idiot Gibson was onto something with the zionists - wars.

OMG! These people sure gives Mel a lot of power. I love Mel and his movies, but the way people jump on anything Mel is like they are totally obsessed with him. And, this Rabbi guy is sounding a lot worse than Mel ever has. Wow!

Hervey, you're coming off as a jerk. Did your family die in the Holocaust? I think you ought to give Rabbi Heir more respect. This is someone who has made his life work dealing with issues of anti semitism. He is a respected figure, and YOU'RE TALKING TO HIM LIKE YOU ARE TAKING A CALL FROM OCTO-MOM
