Who'll be first?	Itsdb	08/07/06
So Mel Gibson got drunk and said some stupid anti-Semitic things and the media and left-wing bloggers had a field day with it. Last week the Huffington Post had column after column blistering Mel. Madonna stages a mock crucifixion - in Rome - after the Vatican condemned warned her, "To crucify herself during the concert in the city of Popes and martyrs is an act of open hostility." Who'll be the first to take Madonna to task for her pre-meditated hostility? Any of you Mel critics here or out there in the liberal media and blogosphere willing to take a shot at Madonna as well? Steve
Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 08/08/06 12:54 pm: Before anyone else gets the wrong idea (as one did on the Christianity board), allow me to clarify. What Mel did was inexcusable and I am in no way defending his anti-semitic remarks. I'm just curious as to if the same critics of Mel will join in also criticizing Madonna's pre-meditated offense against Christians.

Did you see the Lanny Davis editorial in yesterday's Wall Street Journal ? Here you have a Clintonista having an epiphany after doing some campaigning for Lieberman and realizing that "The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony.” He quotes a poster at Huffington who's comments would've elicited a howl of protest if a right winger would've said them ...“Good men, Daniel Webster and Faust would attest, sell their souls to the Devil. Is selling your soul to a god any worse? Leiberman cannot escape the religious bond he represents. Hell, his wife's name is Haggadah or Muffeletta or Diaspora or something you eat at Passover” . Note that the Huff and Puffers were slow to attack one of their own when making sober anti-semetic postings but the rants of a drunk are condemnable . Ned Lamont shared his victory podium last night with Jesse (hymetown) Jackson and Al (Jews are "diamond merchants" )Sharpton so the face of antisemitism also wears dem tin-foil hats .
