- Here's a fragment of that article. There may be others who
- would still have the whole thing.

- Look it up for yourself, Peter. The word 'Jews" doesn't even appear
- in that article. The actual quote, from Barbara Ehrenreich, whose
- nationality and religion were not disclosed in the _Times_ article:
-
- "Wake up!" she cried. "You're not in Kansas now. We don't want your
- cross in our city. This is also the city of the Star of David and the Crescent
- of Islam, and we like it that way."
-
- To his credit, I believe Chaney did issue an apology of sorts
- after being caught in an obvious misquote. The woman in question
- was addressing a group of pro-choicers, and speaking as if to the
- pro-life demonstrators, who were marching a few blocks away.
