Mel's little goof.

I'm sure most of you have heard about Mel Gibson's DUI arrest and the anti-Semitic comments he made to the police. The right's anti-Semites are coming out of the woodwork to defend Mel's statements, despite the fact that he has already apologized for them.

Truth is, I think this shows a side of the right's most extreme elements we're not used to seeing too often - their latent hatred of the Jewish people. They condemn any action against Israel, they scream "Jew-hater!" at anyone who criticizes Israel, but, ultimately, they see the entire Jewish population of the world as a stepping-stone to Armageddon, and nothing more. It's fucking creepy. Even worse is the REAL nutballs who try to push the tinfoil-hat garbage memes about Jews being in control of everything. And what worse than that is that I think there are people who actually BELIEVE that slop!

So what's my point, you might be asking? To put it simply, there are some crazy folks out there who are saying that Mel's comments are okay and/or that he apologized, so everything's okay.

Just remember: In vino, veritas.
