Now that article is a perfect example of propaganda on the part of the
libs. I would doubt that anything like that ever happened at all but it
fits the MO of the libs to make it seem as though it happened. It is
articles like that one that fit so well with what David Mamet was
talking about and made him realize that he no longer fit the new liberal
crew. Just look at how liberals treat non-liberals in Hollywood and you
will see it in action. Take the latest movie by Jodie Foster where she
used Mel Gibson. She spent more time explaining why she worked with Mel
Gibson than she did about the movie because Mel does not fit the liberal
MO. And yet the conservative movie makers have no problem working with
the liberals. rather puts the lie to this story IMNSHO.

>> Solidarity was a national freedom movement under Walesa's leadership

>>
>> Someone who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for actually doing

>> Lech Walesa, the former Polish president and heroic leader of the

>> ... on Friday, Walesa once again answered the call to duty and

>>
>> ... Close observers of this president for the two-plus years of his
