The Mel Gibson affair — fans don’t give a rat’s ass about anti-Jewish remarks

Filed under: The Mel Gibson Affair — by The Gadfly @ 4:18 pm

From an article about a poll conducted August 2-3:

Mel Gibson’s drunken-driving arrest and comments concerning Jews at the time it was made appears to have done little to diminish his popularity among Americans, poll results indicated. Fifty-two percent said they did not believe Gibson is anti-Semitic, and 58 percent said they are still among Gibson’s fans.

Mmmm.. so 52% don’t believe he’s an “anti-Semite,” and 58% still count themselves as among his fans… So presumably, 6% believe he’s an anti-Semite, and they just don’t give a shit. :-)

Personally, I’ve lost all respect for Mel Gibson over this incident. It’s not what he said about Jews that I have a problem with; what sickens me is watching him apologize and grovel at their feet for saying it. Doesn’t the man have any pride?
