After displaying a painting of U.S. soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners, a San Francisco gallery owner bears a painful reminder of the nations unresolved anguish over the incidents at Abu Ghraib -- a black eye and bloodied brow delivered by an unknown assailant who apparently objected to the art work.
The assault outside the Capobianco gallery in the citys North Beach district Thursday night was the worst, but only the latest in a string of verbal and physical attacks that have directed at owner Lori Haigh since the painting, titled "Abuse," was installed there on May 16.

*AND* she's a prevaricator!
And if it was an "unknown assailant" how do we know the reason for the attack?
I always kinda thought of those Dirty Harry movies as docu-dramas.
From the articles I've read, I'm aware of one other former parishoner who made a claim against Lenihan which failed due to statute of limitations in effect at the time.
If any "artist" in San Francisco had the balls, THAT would be bold.
This balck eyed chick has created something so utterly predictable that's it's embarassing.
Sorry I didn't refine my reference.
The last paragraph of the entire article says:
Lenihan, 56, resigned last year after admitting he had sexual relationships over the years with several women and teen-age girls.
I can't speak to the credibility of the source web site, though (the "Rick A. Ross Institute for the Study of Destructive Cults, Controversial Groups and Cult Movements").
Haigh has also accused Monsignor Lawrence Baird, media relations director for the Orange diocese, of having hugged, kissed, and rubbed himself against her when she confessed to having a relationship with another priest. She has accused, as well, Monsignor John Urell, vicar general for the diocese, of calling her a liar and dismissing her from the church when she confessed her relationship with Lenihan. Both Urell and Baird deny Haigh's accusations.
Haigh took a lie detector test, and scored a "plus-15," which means, said Dr. Edward I. Gelb, who administered the test, that "she is telling the truth" about Urell and Baird. Still, sources in the diocese of Orange, who know Monsignor Baird, doubt Haigh's story. One Orange diocesan priest said that he was "outraged" when he heard the accusations against Monsignor Baird. "I absolutely don't believe any of it," said the priest. "He is not a 'touchy-feely' kind of guy and he's very solid, doctrinally. He is not a swinger; he just isn't that kind of guy. I find it impossible to believe these allegations."
Boo...hoo...
Another reason why you can't give the worms any place to breed.
See the media angle here? Millions of peaceful Americans have been disgusted and pissed off at the way the major media have been carping on the Abu Ghraib story and their opinions have never been covered. But, let one person act out violently over it and they're right there on the spot, eager to do a story on it. That way they can attempt to paint conservatives or anyone else who supports our men and women in uniform as violent loons.

It's a media conspiracy to make conservatives viewed as unstable and violent? That as the case amy be but this just shows somebody who hates freedom-of-speech and will attack it when it makes them unconfortable. Even going as far as beating up a woman.
And if it was an "unknown assailant" how do we know the reason for the attack?
The woman is a fraud. That "black eye" is phony. No bruising like that would show up so soon after the "assault" without accompanying swelling. Finally, follow the link provided in #26 (Great work Bonaparte!) and see that this fraud is a serial litigant and actor in leftist political theatre.
No woman was beat up.
Wake up.
Mr. Atomic Vomit
This is a woman who claims she did not know that the artwork was a political statement and who also claims that the newspapers she used to cover the windows of gallery only coincidentally had Abu Ghraib stories all over them. Does all this sound believable to you?
I guess she was trying to relive Viet Nam, it didn't work out too well.
She had it coming, but I don't agree with a man hitting a woman. It would have meant more coming from another woman.
Why is there NO SWELLING around her eye ?
In San Francisco, it's not always easy to know the gender of your assailant.
