Record setting [updated; and updated again, now with more HYPOCRISY]
Frey:I point out that my words were altered, not to revive or continue a fight, but simply because it’s true, and I want that fact to be part of the record here.
Category: language / intentionalismDecember 23, 2009 December 22, 2009 Clerical workLinked here is a list of the comments Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey left on protein wisdom from the 16th to the 19th of December. He is free to go through the list and point out any instances where I am alleged to have altered the wording of his comments. Given the staggering volume, he has his work cut out for him. December 21, 2009 Why language matters (or, “how I learned to stop worrying and love the f-bomb,” teachable moment edition)From Pablo, in the comments to an earlier post:Here’s a mainstream media example of the tactic [of re-signification of an utterance by a politically-motivated interpretive community that is then attributed back to the utterer, condemning him for what … December 20, 2009 Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey: purveyor of (what might look to a reasonable man like) anti-semitic statements that may or may not reveal a “sub-conscious” anti-semitism? Hard to say. World class smear artist and disingenuous hypocrite…?[note: this post originally published 12/20. Newer posts below] Now I hear I’m being accused of altering a Patrick Frey comment… [see update; and updated again, to point you to an overview that I'm fairly certain Mr Frey doesn't want you to read; updated once more, and sticky, for the time being]…to change the wording. Let me be clear here: I did not. Or, to use one of Frey’s favorites, “LIES!” Frey is pointing to a post on the PW Pub, a sister site I keep for readers to put up posts. I didn’t write the post under which the comment in question appears. I didn’t alter the comment in question. I wasn’t aware the comment had been altered. As this note from the person who actually did alter the comment should make clear. Accusing first and asking questions later seems to be a recurring theme with Frey — be the accusation racism, or “playing the race card,” or supporting child rapists, or materially altering comments. December 18, 2009 “Groundhog Day: This Time, It’s Structural”: a dicentra guest postAll right evabody — morons, sexists, sycophants, cretins, malcontents, misanthropes, racists, rednecks, homos, homophobes, hobos, lawyers, and assorted freaks — listen up. I was away from the Internet for about 24 hours (enjoying a 6-hour meeting in Oakland, CA), and I came back to see that you yobs are still at it, making the same arguments and accusations, spinning in the same circles, hurling the same invective. (By the way, did you know that after a long flight [chilling the fuel in the wings], when the plane descends into more humid air, ice forms on the wings? And furthermore, that California prohibits the use of de-icing fluid? That’s an hour on the tarmac I’m not getting back, CA, thanks a LOT!) This is why you’re getting nowhere: December 17, 2009 On intent, 2: a follow-up to the David Letterman “debate” [updated, to answer the fresh charge from Patrick Frey that I haven't addressed his concerns about language, concerns that are covered in this very post]In the comments to my most recent post on the Letterman / Palin jokes, I wrote:[...] Frey isn’t satisfied with what Letterman claimed his intent to be. But Letterman’s intent has nothing necessarily to do with how he … December 16, 2009 PROMINENT RESPONSE ALERT! (Or, “Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic? We really can’t say. Nor does that have anything to do with this post. But we just thought we’d throw it out there,” part 3) [updated]Patrick Frey demanded (no, seriously) that I “prominently” reply to one of his many, many, many, many Jeff Goldstein posts of the last several days. Why this is important to him I don’t really know, given … Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic? Part 2In part one of our series, “Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic,” we very pointedly refused to reach a conclusion: perhaps he is, perhaps he isn’t. Frankly, it’s hard to tell, because no … Is Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey anti-semitic?As many of you know, on at least two occasions, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey has made statements that more than a few people have suggested are redolent with the stink of … |
