Judi Bari's "Biographer" says don't believe what I write

In a controversial book that was brokered by rightist David Horowitz, a "biography" of the late environmentalist-labor activist Judi Bari, Kate Coleman, states that another famous environmentalist, Julia Butterfly Hill, drives a gas guzzling Lexus SUV (in the book, it is stated without such qualifications as "it is rumored" or "some people have alleged"... it simply states that "Julia Butterfly drives a Lexus").

In fact, Julia Butterfly does not own a car, and does not even posses a driver's license.

Coleman, was contacted by a columnist for the East Bay Express about this discrepancy. Coleman responded by saying "I apologize if it was taken as a fact."

And we regret the whole book was not labeled as fiction.

To see more such absurdities, go to "Republicans Say the Darndest Things" at TomJoad.org, also home of the most comprehensive list of military resisters.

Did you hear the one about the female Republican politician who took a stand against women's right to vote? It is all there.
