br> What are you talking about? I didn't make any mean comments about your father. I said he played a man risking his life for civil rights in a movie. I don't think you can question that, can you? /p>

Was he really Atticus Finch? Did he really face a lynch mob? Did he really shoot a rabid dog with open sights at a great distance?

I have no doubt that your father was a fine man. I had the honor of meeting him at Norman Lear's house. I am a huge admirer of his talent and civic achievements. With the greatest possible respect, all of the achievements you list of his do not make him into a freedom worker in the deep South.

Calm down. No one is attacking your father.

P.S. Now that I think about it, it was Scout who faced down the lynch mob in TKAM.

But, again, my comments were not in the slightest denigrating to your father, a genuinely fine man and great talent. And Gentleman's Agreement was a fabulously powerful movie.
