Examples of fairness -- rather adventent fairness, t'would seem -- by the person who had never, and who has still never, seen the movie she is commenting on, and who still defends every word: "Mel Gibson, Christian bigot" "[and bigotry--JS]" "To highlight what the writer tactfully leaves implicit, Gibson has slandered the Maya and mangled history for the purpose of exalting the purported superiority of Christianity." Not to mention her claim that Rep. Bob Andrews is now a "surrogate" of Obama: "Yes, his tactic of having his campaign and surrogates falsely smear the Clintons as race-baiters was extremely effective." Sure am glad we've got someone so unbiased and cosmically *fair* on FFL to help out those of us less blessed. :-) :-) :-)
