It’s “perverted” to criticize Mel?

I don’t get it.

Jewish comedian Jackie Mason says of those of us who are speaking out against Gibson’s anti-Semitism:

all these people are very sick; they’re getting a vicious, sick, perverted, sadistic thrill out of this whole thing.

Huh? Baby, I enjoy as many sick, perverted thrills as the next girl, but I assure you, Gibson’s tirades against the Jews don’t qualify.

Mason adds, about Gibson

the guy’s been a great crusader against anti-Semitism.

In what universe? Based on what evidence? Based on what public statements or actions or behaviors?

Mason also criticizes struggling actors who are “jealous” of Gibson. That’s nothing, kids, compared with has-been comics who are riding on his coattails.
