GLAAD isn't too happy with The View right now, and we predict some women's rights group may be next.

Whoopi Goldberg spoke out on behalf of her friend Mel Gibson yesterday saying: "I know Mel, and I know he's not a racist...He may be a bonehead. I can't sit and say that he's a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids."

Even though Whoopi tried to claim she's not defending what he's done, she went on to imply this morning that somehow Oksana Grigorieva is to blame for what's going on because she supposedly went to the press first before the police.

You've got to be kidding.

Despite the fact Mel "Sugar Tits" Gibson hurled more racist remarks in some of the audio heard over the past few days, we're stunned at the fact the "leaked tapes" are even an issue for some people.

After supposedly knocking Oksana's teeth out and threatening to kill her and bury her in a rose garden, it's taken this terrifying audio for people to wake up and finally see what a bad person Mel really is.

Even if it was Oksana who leaked the Gibson rants, we think it's completely justified (legalities be damned), considering all the crap she's had to endure. Let everyone hear the kind of guy the Braveheart star really is..This behavior didn't come out of nowhere, people.

Plus, even though she did file a restraining order first before talking to the press, we know how screwed up the legal system is in Hollywood (Lindsay Lohan aside). It's taken the audio we've all heard to get the Los Angeles Sherriff's Department involved and the world's attention.

Whoopi can blame it on the alcohol for Gibson all she wants, but we're not buying it. Are we alone here?
