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?
