Would you hold someone accountable for what they say when they are drunk?

I know if you kill someone while drunk you should definitely pay for your stupidity, but I wonder...is what we say when we are drunk our true selves...real honesty...or just stupid things we would say but don't mean...is it just the moment? I am thinking the latter. I am so disappointed with Mel Gibson on this one...He was arrested in Malibu on a DUI and while the officers were taking him in he made many anti-semitic comments..."Jews start all the wars...are you a jew?" I have always liked him but I also have read about him as being an odd man. I don't know what to think?

If that's true, than I ma disappoiunted in him as well. It brings to mind certain Liberals who chareged that his film, "Passion of the Christ" was anti-semitic...I saw the moview and I didn't percieve it as such, but maybe someone saw something in it that I didn't.

You know me, I hold everyone responsible for everything.

As they say, alcohol loosens the tongue. It has been reported that Gibson's father is anti-semitic, so he probably heard a lot of garbage when he was growing up. And that could have surfaced, even though he doesn't believe it.

What I find interesting is that more is being made of what he said than what he did. He was driving twice the speed limit while totally smashed. You drink, you drive, and the next thing you know, Ben Vereen is lying in a ditch along the PCH.

It would seem that getting into people's heads is a symptom of the leftist mental illness. They have no problem with terrorists killing Jews -- after all, that's a cultural thing. But don't speak or think badly of them. Thought police. Whether it's dissidents in China having to report their thoughts daily to police or our own hate crimes, liberals not only don't believe in free speech, they don't believe in free thought

Gibson has a lot of enemies in Hollywood and they're going to raise a stink about this. Not that it will matter -- he's already proved he can be a success outside of the Hollywood system.

The MSM takes whatever opportunity they can to bash both Christians and Jews alike. It's because they are atheists. They like the Radical Moslems because it's not a religion, they don't really believe in a "god".

Yeah, Gibson spouting anti-semitic garbage is the MSM's fault.

Please...

The MSM has certainly given Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan a pass on spouting anti-Semitic garbage. What makes you think they shouldn't do the same for Mel Gibson? Could it be that he's a conservative? There's a reson conservatives are held to a higher standard -- that's where they should be, and Gibson should be punished -- but not by liberals -- they don't have the moral authority.
