Rivers: 'Gibson should die'
Jewish comedienne Joan Rivers has launched a scathing attack on Mel Gibson, insisting the actor should "die" for the anti-Semitic comments he made to police officers who arrested him for drink driving in July. The outspoken comic urges people to boycott Gibson's TV interviews with newswoman Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, because the exposure will only help to heal the actor/director's tarnished public image.Only time and public opinion will tell if Gibson can "heal" his image. Is it tarnished? Without a doubt. Can his anti-Semitism be cured? Most likely not. She tells Celebrity Week: "He is an anti-Semitic son of a bitch. He should f**king die. "Anti-Semitic? Most probably. Should he "f**king die" for it? Ummmm ... no. People have a right to their own opinions, no matter how idiotic or vile they may be.
Now she's the one who's mistaken. Attributing ethics or morals to media types? Major blow-it. "It's ridiculous because she'll get great ratings and (Gibson) will be back in business." I'll ask that people please do not try and tell me; "Oh, that was just the alcohol talking." Blaming drugs in an attempt to exempt someone from having to take personal responsibility for their own actions is ethically bankrupt. Between Gibson's Holocaust denying father and the less-than-flattering portrayal of Jews in his movie, a pattern does seem to be emerging. It's his privilege if he wants to hate Jews but it'd sure be nice if he just STFU about it in public. Posted by: Zenster 2006-10-14 |
