Mel Gibson's mates defend him

So Mel Gibson's Jewish friends have come out in his defence, saying he's normally such a great guy, and hell, he's friends with them, so he can't possibly be anti-semitic. He's just an alcoholic and therefore says weird shit when he drinks. This is like being friends with someone who's a rude arrogant fuck with the waiter, but maintaining he's a great guy normally. Yeah right.

I can understand that some people get angry when they drink, it's not uncommon. And sure, when you get angry you can become agressive and probably be inclined to start fights. And if you're some macho-type, you'll probably threaten to beat the crap out of someone. I imagine there is also a fair bit of swearing and generic abuse.

But how in hell's name to you explain something as specific as "Fucking Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and still maintain that the guy doesn't have a beef with Jewish people in some way or another. I'm sorry, I'm just not buying it.
