Chad at CCK posts this piece today:
"A drunk Mel Gibson can make all the racial slurs he wants because he made a great movie about Christ."
It's amazing how they can make excuses for themselves but they love to point the finger at everyone else.

This is apparently in reaction to Jon Schaff's post here. The only problem is that the material that is enclosed in quotation marks does not appear anywhere in Professor Schaff's post. This looks a lot like lying; however, the post is so characteristically sloppy that one does not know whether it rises to the level of conscious action. Who, for example, does "they" in the second paragraph, refer to? SDP? Catholics? Conservative Catholics? People other than Chad?
In addition to the blatantly false implications of the quotation marks, the quote itself bears no resemblance to anything that Professor Schaff wrote. Consider only this first paragraph:
Professor Schaff clearly states that Gibson's career ought to suffer, and hopes that Gibson will be punished in court, exactly the opposite of what Chad implies in his post.As you probably know by now, on Friday night Mel Gibson was picked up by police, charged with DUI, and went on a drunken rampage that contained various vulgarities, including racial slurs. Gibson works in a field in which image is everything. Certainly in the short run his career will suffer, and rightly so. One watches to see how his latest directed work, Apocolypto, does at the box office, although films in ancient Mayan have a history of doing poorly. One also hopes that he will be punished by the law as other similarly situated people are punished.
I can interpret this only in one of three ways: Chad is too stupid to read; Chad is too lazy to read before shooting his mouth off; Chad is a liar. Just right now I can't tell in which direction charity would point.
