Again my knees have cut from under me by your amazing intellect. I never said that ?anti-Semitic ranting? is the same as boning a fat chick. I can?t think of anything that is same. Anyway, enough about fat chicks. The first part of the ?not-so-attractive chick? statement, you added the fat chick part, was that the booze was doing the talking. In other words you said things that you didn?t really mean. I?m sure that if you don?t like that illustration you can come up with your own, unless of course you have never been drunk. In the second phrase, do my eyes deceive me, or are you proving my point? If you are proving my point then I would have to agree with you.
Your response however, is undeniable proof that sarcasm does not carry well in forums. My point is that a run-in with the law, regardless of the rant, is probably not a fair representation of how Mr. Gibson behaves/thinks/feels on a daily basis.
Christ, you’re a shithead.
The phrase “In Vin Veritas” means, “In wine, truth.”
I don’t know anyone who gets drunk and starts talking shit about Jews except anti-semites.
The “booze was doing the talking” is an excuse people use after they have said something drunk that they didn’t have the balls to say while they were sober.
“Mr.” Gibson has–repeatedly–declined to even slightly repudiate the nasty Holocaust denials of his father.
He has made anti-gay comments.
And, of course, he made a darling little snuff flim containing some vicious little anti-Jew bullshit.
He deserves everything he gets.
“The phrase ‘In Vino Veritas’ hasn’t been around for thousands of years because it isn’t true.” This was what you said right? I was taking that to mean that you believe that you don’t believe that the phrase is true. How does what I said make me a shithead? Because I think its wrong for you jokers to sit on some forum and attack someone who is down?
Or is it because I chose for once to respond out of character and more like some people that I continue to oppose here? I find it telling that my retort was not directed at any one individual and yet it got to you for some reason. I want you to explain this to me. Are you happy that he is getting hammered because he claims to be a ?devout Catholic? (made that movie and all that other stuff) and got caught driving drunk? Or was it because of his bigoted comments?
Anti-Semitism is really just bigotry. Can a statement about Jews be any worse than a statement against another group? To answer a few other statements you made: Why should he have to give an answer for his father?s comments? He isn?t his father. If the snuff film that you are referring to is The Passion of the Christ, then according to the stories that I?ve read the Jews did kill Jesus. Does that make me ?anti-Semitic? What does he really deserve? Do you qualify as judge? I know that I screw up far too often to condemn him for mistakes that he has made.
Keep in mind that I am not defending his actions in any way. I?m sure that he will have to pay for his mistake. As for his statements, I know there are some things that I think of frequently that should never be shared. It is probably the same for him. To me he is just a man who made some seriously bad judgment calls and has a drinking problem. The fact that he is a professing Christian makes it worse. I still wouldn?t say that I hope he gets what he deserves. I hope that I don?t get what I deserve.
In vino veritas
(in VEE-noh VER-ee-tahs) A Latin phrase suggesting that people are more likely to say what they really feel under the influence of alcohol. It means, ?There is truth in wine.?

I truly wish you were a smarter man.
The perhaps you can see that people aren’t attacking him because he’s a christian.
It’s because he’s an anti-semitic, bigoted asshole who is getting what he deserves.
Why should he answer for his father? Because his father DENIED THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST EXISTED. And then Mel, when asked, said, “My father has never lied to me.” Instead of saying, “I love my dad, but I don’t agree with him.”
No, Mel chose to give the ol’ hateful fuck the nod and a wink.
And the most pathetic thing about your statements is that you seem to A: think people have been trying to get him simply because he’s a christian; and, B: thet fact that he’s a christain is the only reason you have any sympathy for him.
Somehow, I don’t think you have much of a problem with Mel’s statements, do ya?
You Solomon Shithead
