Is DAMM correct to support Mel Gibson?

Question

They issued this press release today:

8/2
We at DAMM are appalled by the recent persecution of actor Mel Gibson. What happened to freedom in this country? There was a time when a guy could have a few drinks and then go for a spin without being harrassed by cops. Lots of people get drunk and then display their ignorance! Why is he being singled out?

We implore President Bush to remember the days when it was just him and his buddy Jim Beam! He should intervene in spirit of Jim Beam solidarity. If we don't stand up for his right to go on a bender and then drive his car and then query if the arresting officers are Jewish, then democracy means nothing. It's time for the men in this country who love their booze to stand up against the politically correct ninnys.

Answer 1

This is not right...If Mel said that about Muslims insted od Jews he would be America's hero.What a shame.Every word he said he is right and he sould not be sorry for that.

Answer 2

See, as usual, people are not getting the entire story. The man made a movie about Christ and was withstood by the Jewish powers dominating Hollywood. The man lived under extreme stress because he made a movie about Christ. Why? Cause Jews hate Christianity. See, the bigotry started there, with Jewish hatred. Who are they to try and stop or pressure Mel for making a movie about Christ? They did just that. It was they who started the stress on his life. That stress was building up and hurting his career in a city dominated by Jews. When he got drunk, all of that stress just poured on out.

How does Hollywood become dominated by Jews? Who gets a movie? Who gets a promo? Who gets advanced? Why so many Jewish actors getting jobs? Are Jews promoting Jews, to the hurt of other non-Jews? Why am I anti-Semitic for pointing out bigotry?

Mel was not an anti-Semite. If he is now, surely, it's the Jews doing. How is a man supposed to respond to pressure like that? Except to hate them. (and still Mel doesn't hate them) And again, why do Jewish people have such a dominating stronghold over all the media and so many other areas of our lives?

Answer 3

Thanks for the laugh! I needed that after today !!!
I've been on message boards defending Gibson, saying that in a drunken stupor, he opened his mouth ! SO WHAT? Who of us haven't ?( Uh, I believe even the head of MADD got arrested for drunk driving at one time ? though she probably didn't say anything anti-Semitic )
He's being singled out ONLY because he is an " easy target " for the making of " The Passion of The Christ", which I enjoyed immensely !!!
He's asked for forgiveness for what he did. If God can do it, why can't we get over it?
I have always loved him, and this changes NOTHING !!!
I'll pay to go see any movie he produces, stars, or has anything else to do with !
Don't misunderstand me, I do not believe anyone should be behind a wheel drunk, but I AM guilty of it too unfortunately. I just didn't get caught!
YOU GO MEL !!!!!

Answer 4

I agree, and to show my support of Mel and of democracy I am drunk right now. I am asking everyone I see if they are Jewish. Of course I am drinking at home and nobody else is here so I haven't been able to actually ask anyone yet. But, boy, if somebody breaks in tonight, they are going to have to answer if they are Jewish or not.

Answer 5

Ha..I hate Mel Gibson.

Answer 6

I only disagree with one point - no one has a right to get drunk and endanger another person's life - no matter who they are...

And Gibson is a gay-basher too...

Answer 7

I think maybe you could focus on someone else. Look at yourself are you so perfect.
I do not like do gooders.

Answer 8

You should have entered this in Jokes & Riddles, or Polls & Surveys.

Answer 9

Lordy, that's funny! Thanks for the two points. Who the's CEO of DAMM? Is it Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels, or Jim Beam? Again, thanks for the satire.
