If it's genuine, all I can say is that the the speaker is as much a lout as
Gibson. His language is that of a racist, albeit one pointing his finger at
another one. It's a pity.

"Basically, this is a video segment from ESPN coverage of a Red Sox
game (I think it's ESPN). Dennis Leary, who is a Red Sox fanatic, is a
guest in the booth. Watch how he goes after Mel Gibson after finding
out that the Red Sox first-base man is Jewish. Click on the link."

Could not resist sharing....... methinks 'tis authentic as I could not
find otherwise...if not, 'tis still funny :)

Peter D -- I did not see it that way..... I only saw it from my own
personal viewpoint........I could not debate, however, that it was not
racist language; but stand-up comics do make their living pointing
their fingers and making fun of all groups regardless of ethnicity,
nationality, sexual orientation or political beliefs. This is what they
do.........In the past, I have been singled out several times by two
stand-ups who got their laughs and became famous by pointing fingers,
Don Rickles and Buddy Hackett, who during their acts showed me no
mercy....... their humor was sadistically and riotously clever and
brought loud guffaws from the audience, me included.

"Denis Colin Leary is an Emmy-nominated American actor, comedian,
writer and director. He is known for his often angry comedic style with
an extremely libertarian viewpoint".
