Mel on the cross

Hollywood may shun Mel Gibson for his anti-Semitic ravings, but the right wing in George Bush's increasingly hate-filled America won't.

Holy Crap

Why is it okay to refer to the 'blackening of Jews' only in the context that is anti-semetic?

Jewish people are doing fine these days if you look around. Black people can't say the same in this country on the whole. It seems like railing against an actor for talking shit about Jews is a waste of time, I mean he also seems to me pretty misogonist and generally a weirdo who breeds like a rabbit, thumps the bible as crazily as so many fuck ups in power, and hates everybody who isn't just like them. Not that different from from most religious nuts Jewish or otherwise, or any non thinking dumbass. He made a movie, review the movie.
