I've heard people say some pretty stupid things while drunk in my time, hell I've said some pretty incredible ###t myself while under the influence of liquid courage, but I believe that many times we say what we truly believe most of the time when we're lit.
This leads me to Mel Gibson. I remember a couple of years back I defended his film, the Passion, while many called it anti-Semitic. Well, after his "f###ing Jews" comment and his comments about all the troubles in the world are caused by Jews during his recent run in with the law, I have to reconsider my position. The Passion was a wonderful movie and depicted the sacrifice of Christ in a very respectful and glorious way. But now, I'm not sure. Now knowing Gibson's beliefs, which he can apologize all day long for to which he can receive forgiveness from Jesus, but not me, I can honestly see the anti Semitism in the Passion.
So, heres my question. After his tirade, has Gibson lost credibility with you, if you ever found him to be a credible actor/director? Or do you believe that he was sincere in his apology and didn't really mean what he said, "the alcohol talking" explanation?
