- SuperRob, on 10/12/2007, -17/+93I don't know, in my experience, being drunk doesn't make you say things that you don't really believe ... it just turns off the self-editing reflex we all have. I have no doubt that he actually thinks these things. Being a media personality means he should be a little more careful than most about how he conducts himself, and he failed in that regard. I think he's got everything coming to him that he deserves.
- modularsky, on 10/12/2007, -9/+73Never figured someone would draw the "left-wing media" conspiracy card on this story.

Um, people lie or say things they don't believe when they're drunk. Just ask all the girls I "love". - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+60You dont just say anti-jew things for no reason. If anti-jew topics were not in his heart, they would have never come out.
When I get drunk, THE LAST THING I'm thinking about is "jews". He spewed anti-jew remarks because he is thinking about them all the time. A normal person doesnt go around babbling about jews when he is drunk, unless youre an anti-Semite. You idiots can spin this all you want, this is the truth, and everyone knows it.
I dont give a ***** either way, but the fact of the matter is he is an anti-Semite. His own father denies the holocaust. - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46You're right you'll hear a bunch of negativity toward Gibson, that's what happens when you screw up, endangering others by driving a car while drunk. Pile on top of that celebrity status and "I'm a Christian" rhetoric and yes, you probably won't hear the end of it and rightfully so.
Any more excuses you'd like to make for his bad behavior or are you done? - Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+41"The sad thing about this whole issue is that Mel Gibson is going to be basically crucified with this ordeal as a hypocrite. "
He lost any sympathy I might have for him the moment he got behind the wheel. - SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38"Mel Gibson is going to be basically crucified..."
Wow. Way to be subtle dude. - cliffzdude, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42Sugar *****.
'nuff said... - Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Yo, if you choose to be an outspoken right-wing conservative religious spokesperson, you're pretty much fair game to skewer if you get your ass drunk and drive around Malibu, let alone if you get your ass drunk, drive around Malibu, and blame Jews for all human conflict. No conspiracy here.
- Corgana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22He should put those on his Facebook.
- warmonger48, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Oh come on!!! I've got pictures from college that look just like that!

Does anyone else feel like Mel should be banned from something or receive a red card or something? - JibberJabber, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15I'm curious to how much those girls sold their exclusive photos and interview for.
- uncleLeo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9you mean 1/2, at 1/4 they'd be 12.5 years...
- elamr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The chicks are treating him like a trophy... damn. Must be nice.
- jclebaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Someone is old and drunk
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Yes I did because I cant believe pictures of a GUY were dugg to the front page on a site mainly viewed by GUYS even more so when said pictures show nothing of interest or importance."
You caught us! We're all gay except for you! I'd come onto you but stupidity and igonrance are listed as my turnoffs, donchaknow. - Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8That all depends on who you ask. Many ethnic Jews consider themselves a race, while for others it's simply a religious choice.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10It's not the DUI that's going to be an issue, or even being belligerent to the police officer.
It's the rampant and unadulterated racism he was spewing during the arrest.
A lot of celebrities have gotten drunk, been arrested and made fools of themselves without ending their careers. Even a half assed publicist could have Mel make some appropriately contrite public statements about his mistake and turn him into a tragic figure who sees he needs redemption. Just evoking some themes form his "Lethal Weapon" character would wash it over nicely.
This would be an excellent publicity opportunity if not for the racist remarks. The only thing the American public likes better than a fallen zealot, is an underdog fighting to make a comeback.
And even with the dubious choice of source material for "The Passion" (Based on the delusion ravings of an illiterate French Nun as transcribed by a Priest of dubious reliability) he wasn't in that far with the PC crowd over charges of racism. Sadly for his career, he was in just far enough in that dog house for this to get people saying "Look! He really IS a racist!" - n666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6yea, but not richer then those jews who cause all the wars...
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12"I don't know, in my experience, being drunk doesn't make you say things that you don't really believe ..."
I think it does. Often when you're drunk you think of the worst thing you can say in the current situation and say it because you think it is funny, whether or not your necessarily believe it. But, despite that, if you do say it, you have to take the flak for it. It was you that said it, after all. - tonicboy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9@bgoodknight
You're absolutely right. - tdogg241, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6And neither should you.
- jabelar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, Mel must get laid a lot if he's thinking about Jews while drunk. I can't imagine being so bored with being laid that I would not be thinking about getting laid while drunk ...
- djpnuemo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6also, no matter what, you WILL and/or SHOULD be held accountable for what you do while drunk. you can't blame alcohol. you only have yourself to blame.
why oh why is alcohol legal and marijuana illegal?? what BS! - tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Where's Mel Gibson in that first photo? All I can see is that womans ENORMOUS mouth.
- eurocrisp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7whoa. looks like the creepy old dude that hangs out at the pool table all the time, staring at all the young women and telling other people how to play better but never actually playing himself.
- CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5diggnation is going tabloid!
so when do we get to hear about britany and federline's hot sexy vacation or new pics of the brangelina baby?
why do i feel like im in a ***** grocery store? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@SuperRob - speak for yourself, I know I've said some things I would never do, think, or say while drunk. In fact I often make up ***** while drunk, something obscure that noone can easily check up or care enough about...
- oncebanned, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I know this is a stupid question, but are Jews another race or another religion. And by asking that question, am I a racist? I think he is prejudiced, not racist.
- kampfy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Good Lord, he must have been drunk off his ass...look at the women he's with! If I was Mel Gibson and that was the best entourage I could muster, I probably would've been throwing blame on world conspiracies, too.
- mopper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4*sigh* for the 1000x you can remove topics... stop crying about it and uncheck celebrity news
- Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think according to the religion Jews are a race of people descended from Isaac, Abraham's second son....but after thousands of years in the diaspora after being kicked out of Israel by the Romans, I don't really think its the case any more.
- terminalcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You are indeed a poison spouting fool, Insolent. Please, oh please grace us with some more of your great wisdom. It shows us how intelligent you truly are.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3fodder650, he did NOT "push his ideals" on you. Did he grab you by the ass and throw you into the theater to see his movies? I don't think so...
- Koopa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6somebody call a wahhhmbulance.
- cheesehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In the name of the Road Warrior, give the guy a break, WTF. Or as moralists and Christians would say. "Let those without sin cast the first stone."
- p1mpjuice, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Jews follow Judaism, a religion, so they are a religious group. And no, you're not racist, stop being so stupidly, politically correct.
- AndySomnifac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2People may ramble while they're drunk, but the ramblings tend to be incoherent and funny, not hateful, unless it's against an ex of some kind.
- charlie55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4me gibson is awesome, but it is sad he has to sober and deny the things he says about the dirty dirty jews.
- Lounger540, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Seriously, he was drunk and driving like an ass hole at .12 .
I can manage to keep my ***** straight at probably double that, though I still wouldn't drive. - terminalcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://digg.com/political_opinion/Prosecute_Mel_Gibson_If_Need_Be_But_Don_t_Persecute_Him
- flypcide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3wonder what his wife has to say about his "snuggling" up to those girls...they're pretty harmless photos, but I know my wife would be pretty pissed to see me "piss drunk" with a couple of girls hanging all over me.
- westus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hope he gets the help he needs... I don't condone, or make excuses for what Gibson said, but for all the people who took a picture with him, or the ones that bought him a drink - you think that someone would have driven the drunk guy home!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I don't think it would be fair to keep Mel Gibson from playing soccer completely, we should probably just put him on the bench for the rest of the season...
- Hungryhaney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Aside from getting in a car drunk and the stuff that happened afterwards ...
WHY THE F**K DID NOBODY OF THESE GUESTS STOP HIM !!!
According to the text beside the pictures the people knew he was drunk, he should have never been allowed to drive in the first place. Quite irresponsible of those people in my opinion.
Still, the stuff Mel Gibson said while drunk was not cool, but at least he apologized ... I guess that's a start. - chemman14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1waffles
- charlie55, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i agree with humanaut, those jokes are funny, and i think he is right on, because it is comical how incredibly protective and sensitive we are about certain groups. we all laugh at yell at scientologists, but we dont dare make fun of jews, even though they believe equally ridiculous stuff.
