Gieselman claims to describe Buzzanco's actions in a
message to the NewPacifica list:
"last wednesday, we saw the seething face of rabid intolerance.
it was not an armed jew in jenin nor an arab bomber in jerusalem.
it was at KPFT in houston--a raging university professor [and
pacifica programmer], blasting obscenities at our guests as he
careened around the station. all because they had the affrontery
to disagree with him. welcome to pacifica."

Donna De La Paz claims to describe Buzzanco's actions in an
e-mail to George Barnstone for his "investigation":
"...When we left the room, I was the last one out. He looked
at us and said in a derogatory fashion You Jews. I was shocked
and immediately told Stan, who assured me that he would take
care of the situation."

Gieselman claims to describe Buzzanco's actions in an
e-mail to George Barnstone for his "investigation":
"...guests and Buzz were filing out of the studio and into the
conference room--I heard Bob say "You Jew." I was not looking
at him, nor did I see his face. His back was to me."
Conclusions:
1. Gieselman gave two mutually contradictory descriptions of
Bob Buzzanco's alleged antisemitic remark.
2. Since both statements cannot be correct, Gieselman must have
lied when he made one or both of them.
3. Gieselman's first statement was given 9 days before Donna
De La Paz gave her statement, which then contradicted his.
4. Gieselman's second statement was given 11 days after Donna
De La Paz gave hers, and was changed from his first statement
in such a way that it now supported hers.
