Charlie Sheen’s recent tirade against Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre was at the center of CBS and Warner Brothers shutting down the show for the rest of the season and his insistence on calling Lorre “Chaim Levine” has raised the issue of anti-semitism.

Charlie denies he is anti-semitic, pointing out that Lorre’s real name is Charles Levine and that Chaim is the Hebrew name for Charles. But his out-of-nowhere usage of the Hebrew name is raising questions and has prompted a response from the anti-defamation league.

Abraham H Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, is furious that Gibson used the offensive term.

He told RadarOnline.com: “Once a bigot is always a bigot. It is clear that Mel Gibson’s bigotry is not of recent vintage, that its been part of him for a long time. And when he loses his inhibitions, it comes out.
