SAM SLAM
Chris Willman’s interview of media darling Sam (Don’t Call Me Leslie) Phillips hit a new low in liberal hate speech (Film Clips, May 28). Phillips described her experience playing a terrorist in the hit movie “Die Hard With a Vengeance” as “. . . sort of therapeutic, because this guard whose throat I had to slit looked a lot like Rush Limbaugh, so that was my motivation in that scene.”
Willman not only did not react in disgust at this horrible remark, but jokingly concluded the article celebrating Phillips’ self-described “heretical” alienation from Christianity, “Not violently heretical, one presumes, but just in case--Rush Limbaugh, watch your back.”
Imagine the media frenzy if a Christian actor made such comments about dear President Clinton and the writer approvingly concurred. . . .
