Mel Gibson’s Unreported Anti-Semitic Comments

Despite endless stories and analysis on Mel Gibson’s offensive DUI rantings, few reporters or commentators have addressed the fact that the remarks attributed to Gibson were most likely only a portion of the anti-semitic comments he actually said. When L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy James Mee first described the incident he wrote:

“Gibson blurted out a barrage of anti-semitic remarks about ’Fucking Jews.’ Gibson yelled out ‘The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.’ Gibson then asked, ‘Are you a Jew.’”

Two offensive comments, and questioning whether Deputy Mee was “a Jew” doesn’t exactly sound like a “barrage of anti-semetic remarks”. Gibson most likely said far more that simply wasn’t quoted.
