Via the Instapundit, I see that Deb Frisch is in trouble for stalking and other charges:
The saga of Deborah Frisch, long-time comment troll and all-around kook, took another troubling, but not exactly unforeseeable turn in the last 48 hours. As far as we know, she is now the first troll of the political blogosphere to face criminal charges relating to such activity. On August 21 she was arraigned in an Oregon courtroom on charges of stalking and telephone harassment (PDF).
***According to Don’t Hire Deb, a blog devoted to documenting Frisch’s outrageous behavior while depriving her own site of traffic, Frisch posted either $4,000 bail or $400 to a bondsman and must reappear in court on September 25th. As is speculated in DHD comments and elsewhere, this likely stems not from Frisch’s well-publicized Jeff Goldstein-related misadventures (to the best of our knowledge she’s never called him) but rather, similar interactions with former colleagues at University of Oregon (where she was denied tenure in 1994 and served as an adjunct until July 2001) including calling, emailing, and a quickly-removed post to her blog.
If you have not followed the whole saga, you can click the link above and find an abundance of pieces detailing what happened. My take on the whole matter- what she said about Goldstein’s child was vile and contemptible, and for that, she deserves our scorn. However, it is abundantly clear to me that she has a number of mental problems, and I don’t like the glee I see in many of the posts flaming her. She is a sad character, and she needs our sympathy and our help- not to be poked, prodded, and taunted.
And that is all I have to say on the matter, and I won’t be following the issue anymore. Leave the poor woman alone, no matter how she lashes out at people. Hopefully, she will one day get over her problems, regret what she has done, and come to terms with her behavior and once again take up a productive role in society.
The Other Steve
It wasn’t really worth saying anything about.
Pb
Agreed. From all accounts, Deb Frisch sounds like a nut with some serious issues, which is probably what drew her to Jeff Goldstein in the first place–they have so much in common in that respect.
Ancient Purple
I guess it would be fruitless to wish the same for Jeff Goldstein.
Cyrus
I am impressed. I didn’t expect this.
Andrew
Whereas, it’s totally cool to threaten people with dick slapping their faces and ass rape canines.
Krista
From the short amount of time I’ve spent at PW, it seems that a lot of the commenters there think that the sun shines out of Goldstein’s ass, and are pretty vehement (if not vicious) when defending their hero. It struck me as being a bit creepy. (Whereas you, you poor bugger, have your commenters constantly busting your chops…)

Perhaps if the democrats win in 2006/2008. You guy will lobby to use one of the left’s favorite tools: the re-education camp on Jeff Goldstein or Me.

I doubt it, Paul. Re-education implies that one can be educated in the first place. I haven’t seen any evidence of this in either you or Goldstein.

Threatening children is nothing compared to what Bushco and the Zionists have done. Because of the evilness of Bushitler, we can do whatever we want as self-defense, including threats to 2-year olds whose parents are libertarian/conservative.

Baloney! That’s the sort pf PC/liberal claptrap that usually surfaces when a complete jerk such as Ms. Frisch enters the scene. While undoubtedly true that she is indeed a “sad character,” she in no way warrants sympathy from me, or, in my opinion, anyone else other than lefties who always have sympathy for the most disgusting of people, provided they are “on the correct side of issues.”
Darleen
I amazed at the “ok, what Deb said was bad but Jeff deserved it” line I keep seeing repeated.
Damn, people, did your lose your moral compass or were you just born that way?
Paul L.
I was not going the mention another lefty favorite, the death camp because that would be judging/demonizing you guys too harshly. But you asked for it. Afterall Lefties love Purges.

Now that it’s obvious that Deb Frisch has been hurt by Deb Frisch’s actions far more than anyone else has, hopefully people can just drop it.
Cyrus
Oh no, are you the type who thinks Nazis were leftists? We’ve got a live one here!
Darleen
BTW
People on PW and even Deb’s blog have been urging her to check herself into a psychiatric center.
However, absent she taking that solid advice (which would also help ameliorate her legal problems) then Jeff was wise to seek the R/O. Sometimes it takes the legal system to force people to change their behavior.
I don’t care how “sick” Deb is; she is a real, potential threat to the safety of others. Bars or bed, she needs to be restrained.

For God’s sake, she is a grown woman and is responsible for her actions. She deserves no sympathy whatsoever. Nice comment section you have here. Full of real winners, eager to morally equivocate between victim and aggressor.
John Cole
Some of you have the strangest grasp of the English language that it now makes total sense that I am always misunderstood. I have not looked sympathy up lately in many different dictionaries, but it never, to my understanding, meant that you don’t hold people accountable for their actions. It means that you have a shred of compassion for a fellow human being who is obviously deeply and seriously disturbed.
Of course you hold her accountable for her actions, but to not be able to show her sympathy, and to think the appropriate course of action is to lash out at her, make a spectacle of her, use her as the foundation for your impression of all Democrats, and to, worst of all, take some sort of pleasure from it, makes you about a step below your average everyday barnyard animal.

Well, John, it’s once in a blue moon that an actual Leftist can be found who conforms at all to the bizarre stereotypes of Darrell & Co., so you can hardly be surprised that they want to put her on a pedestal.
Jamie McArdle
A lot of us over at Protein Wisdom speculated that Frisch was suffering from either a substance-abuse problem or a mental illness. A number of us commented that we hoped she’d get help. A number of us commented directly to her that she ought to seek help. But none that I remember was willing to excuse what she’d done simply because she may have done it while not in her right mind.
I’d have a kind of “sympathy” for anyone troubled enough to threaten or commit harm to a blogger’s child because the blogger’s commenters were rude to her, simply because that level of disturbedness ought to awaken in all of us an abiding (if theoretical) pity for the disturbed. But my sympathy does not extend to ignoring the potential threat, and Jeff and many of his commenters apparently agreed: if someone is disturbed enough to threaten a toddler, it does not follow that that person is not disturbed enough not to follow through on the threat. People who contemplate violent acts have a whole lot bigger chance of committing them than people who never contemplate them at all, or even those who satirize them (for those who consider “dick-slapping” a potential violent act rather than a silly insult).
You could argue that the most dangerous person is the one who contemplates violence secretly, because you get no warning signs before the escalation to violent acts – but the Internet throws in that often spurious sense of anonymity that’s so tempting to so many of us, so I think Jeff was doing what was necessary to respond to a threat the seriousness of which he couldn’t accurately evaluate.
The Other Steve
The only person who has claimed Jeff deserved it is you.
Or would you like to provide a link to substantiate your ridiculous claim?
Common Sensical
Fascism was the extreem right of far left socialism. Hitler was only slighly less evil than Stalin in terms of murder (12 million vs. 60 million murdered), and only slightly right of the worst slave regime in history, the Communists in the USSR. To equate National Socialism with American conservativism or libertarianism is very old propaganda from far left communists, who also labeled Trotskyist communists as fascists and “right wing.” Shame on you for implying it for their horrible ignorence about the crimes of national socialism and communism. And shame on anyone here that besmirchs the right of free speech in reporting the actions of Dr. Deb Frisch, a clearly dangerous psychopath. These bloggers are doing a public service, and some “liberals” here choose to slam that. I think it says more about them than anything.

Ignoring that Jeff’s comment was made in jest, to “cock slap” and adult is clearly revolting, but no where as revolting and morally wrong as threatening molestation and murder on a 2-year old child.

I agree. Deb obviously bears no responsibility for her vile actions, and should not be personally criticized for them. In addition, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi clearly have/had mental problems as well, so please extend also them our sympathy and our help rather than taunting, prodding, and firing missiles at them. Let’s all try to be the better man!

Uh, the problem here is the latest arraignment has NOTHING to do with Jeff. Apparently, it is someone in Oregon.
We have a site that is bipartisan. I don’t care if she is right or left, she is not right. And she DID get a lot of advice from LAWYERS.
It’s a shame you guys can’t take off your partisan glasses and see this for what it is. She went into Jeff’s place and fucked up. He didn’t seek her out. It took accusations of Jeff molesting her son ALL OVER THE PLACE to make Jeff do something.
Apparently, harassing is her MO. And she does it everywhere. She doesn’t discriminate either. She dropped her fair share of bombs over at Sadly No directed towards them. So get your facts straight.

This troubled woman has a long, long, history of harassment and distasteful behavior and (wait for it…) she’s been employed as an educator!! I’m sick of watching what passes for normal behavior in academia these days. The very idea that she is teaching psychology and has held a government job in the sciences is what made this a universal subject to me. She’s the current poster-child for the academic who couldn’t use the simplest of logic to fight their way out of a paper bag. I think this is the reason her sad story is relevant to a wider audience. Check out her posts on academic listserves. Even they don’t want her brand of nonsense and yet, she stayed employed in the academic world until she screwed up bad enough to draw notice from papers all over the world! As a former academic myself, I welcome the scrutiny.
John S.
You sure do love your strawmen.
Considered morally equivalent by whom? The phantom liberals in your head? Threatening to do bodily harm to a toddler is not cool. Frisch is obviously a troubled woman, and I hope she gets help.
That said, Jeff being on the recieving end of nastiness doesn’t excuse him for the bile he spews – whether on his blog or not. Conversely, Goldstein being an asshole doesn’t excuse Frisch’s behavior. See how that works, genius?

“The Nazis’ strongest appeal was to the lower middle-class – farmers, public servants, teachers, small businessmen – who had suffered most from the inflation of the 1920s and who feared Bolshevism more than anything else. The small business class were receptive to Hitler’s anti-Semitism, since they blamed “Jewish big business” for their economic problems.”

Reread your comments, kaiserD. You never even hinted at your brave and principled stance. You could have saved us a lot of time by stating it in the first place rather than throwing feces throughout this comment thread. But then you seem to be a part of the cockslap commentariot so it’s really no surprise that you’re an obtuse poo flinger.
Bukkake Wisdom is truly blessed to have a commenter as wise and good natured as you.
Larv
Not being a general reader of PW, I hadn’t previously had any sympathy whatsoever for Deb Frisch. But if this batch of wingnuts that’s showed up on this thread is at all representative of the commentariat there, I’m beginning to understand her a little bit. This kind of crap could drive anyone insane. Look, for all of you whining about the moral relativism of the left – I have yet to see anyone here or at any of the other lefty blogs I read defend Frisch. She’s a nut, and she seems to be a mean one to boot. But her crimes, such as they are, simply don’t merit the level of vitriol directed against her. Do any of you really believe that her most infamous comment was really meant as a threat, rather than a cruel and incredibly distasteful jibe? She seems like a fairly disturbed and unwell person, and to that degree deserves sympathy. To the degree that her behavior is not the result of being unbalanced and is just reflective of her being an ass, she doesn’t. A little from column A, a little from column B. Lest you think I’m being partisan, I can think of quite a few people on the right I think are also quite disturbed and in need of help and sympathy.
Also: Seriously, people. Claiming that the Nazis were leftists because they had the word “Socialist” in their name is extremely silly. Please tell me you realize this.

Yes, there are distinct differences. Nazism was race-based and rooted in the mythic German past. Socialism is class-based and is usually directed towards the bright, shimmering future. For this and other reasons, socialism out-slaughtered Nazism nearly ten-fold in the 20th Century, without losing nearly as many supporters in the educated Western Left.
FWIW, Stalin forbade calling Nazis “National Socialists” or even Nazis, insisting that they be inaccurately called fascists, instead. So he was certainly wary of guilt by association.

What an odd set of comments! Somehow a brief mention of this Frisch character’s end-game with the law turns into a bunch of gratuitous jabs at one of the people she harrassed (Jeff Goldstein) and arguments about the place the N.S. occupy on the political spectrum?
Maybe folks could, you know, attempt to stay on topic? Or not. Not my say so.

Has the 2-year-old child read the good Dr.’s comments?
If the child is not yet able to read (which I find hard to believe considering his stellar genetic heritage) have the parents read the comments to him/her?
I think the answer to both questions would be “No,” and I refer you to my first post on this fascinating subject.
(P.S. to “Easy Living:” If I’m here commenting on this earth-shattering event,
and you’re here to comment on me commenting on it, are we not both
“pathetic?” … Jus askin’.)

Also: Seriously, people. Claiming that the Nazis were leftists because they had the word “Socialist” in their name is extremely silly. Please tell me you realize this
It is also silly to say that because Nazis were fascists they were conservative. That is a left-wing lie that is part of commie propaganda. Folks, do your research, socialism is a form of government with a specific definition. The Nazis were socialists and leftists. They were also totalitarion, as was the USSR and Cambodia and Cuba, etc. They are not mutually exclusive.
Socialism only works though strong-arm government tactics of seizing property, limiting ownership, and shooting or imprisoning dissenters and so forth. Same with Communism and Nazism.
Comparing the US and Bush of being any kind of fascist is really stupid and ignorant and a bastardization of the term. But that is what I expect from the lefties these days. Nonetheless, keep it up . . . once we get a couple of more Supreme Court justices we can really begin the secret plan!!

No one is defending Deb Frisch. No one, except crazy Deb Frisch. Yes, she belongs in jail or a mental institution and what she did was wrong and she needs to get treatment and/or punishment. What she said about Goldstein’s 2 year old is repugnant and awful.
That, however, doesn’t make Goldstein a saint. He isn’t. Frisch harassed Goldstein, so what now? Goldstein has license to say whatever he wants and we aren’t to take issue with it or him?
Just state he is infallible now because he was a victim of harassment and be done with it.

How’s this for moral equivalency? Cockslap and Deb are both sick jerks who deserve to be ignored.
That Frisch attacked Goldstain does not make him some kind of savant. An idiot savant he may be however. Or maybe just an idiot.

Darleen,
It is indeed possible for any number of people to all be ‘sick freaks’ to varying degrees–indeed, Deb Frisch and Jeff Goldstein’s blog, taken together, are proof of this–without necessarily raising the strawy spectre of ‘moral equivalency’. But if that’s too subtle for you…
Have you ever actually heard anyone say that, or are the quotes for effect? However, there probably was originally a point somewhere in there before it got twisted around; I’m going to go out on a limb here and speculate that it was likely a response to some blatant example of hypocrisy.
I thought it was relativism? But again, back to the hypocrisy, that sort of ‘reasoning’–or should I say projection–should sound very familiar.

I’ve heard variations on the theme, taken by many emotionally driven Leftists when confronting someone defending America, as: “since when is America perfect?” when that was NOT the argument.
I do not in any way agree that JeffG is a “sick freak” of any degree. Is he “perfect”? Does he never lose his temper? No and that wasn’t the argument. The argument is my calling the “Ok, Deb is sick but …” tact for what it is … an excuse to play “moral equivalency”.
“Sure, officer, I smacked the wife around a bit but she mouthed off at me!”
“Yeah, your honor, I did rob that jewelry store but my parents were mean to me.”
“Yeah, 9/11 was bad but it’s just blowback because of American Imperialism”

Naziism, Fascism and Communism are all anti-capitalistic & anti-Enlightenment forms of political collectivism that have the same basic cash value in the public marketplace. The ease with which German Communists converted to Naziism was an open joke, they were called “beefsteak Nazis,” i.e., brown on the outside and red on the inside.
The Nazis were just as disdainful of laissez-faire capitalism as the Communists were, and they merely substituted “race” (the Fascists, “nationality”) for “class.” (which begs the question why the term “class traitor” is any less evil than “race traitor”)
Fascism itself is an outgrowth of the Bernstein revisionism of Marxism that appeared at the turn of the 20th century. Ardent Bush hater David Ramsey Steele has an interesting article on the subject here:

Well, no, naturally you didn’t. You were trying to quote Richard 23 (badly); meanwhile, I was making a point about it (which you apparently missed entirely, surprise, surprise).
Indeed, it wasn’t, and it still isn’t. But enjoy the Rumsfeldian dialectic there, talking to yourself about what we weren’t saying.
Ok then. So who is making that argument here besides you? You were the first to mention it, and The Other Steve called you on that early on. Or do you just like to raise and debunk your own points? I guess that’d be easier, in a sense, than trying to address any of the points that we might actually have made.

She also, as recently as the 19th, went out to Sadly!No looking for advice as to how best she could harm Jeff and his family. I know this is a foreign idea to you Uber-Libs around here, but a little research and knowledge will go a long way.
We all told her to stop, to shut up and get help. We were met with insults, attacks and threats. Tell you what…she has her address posted…go ahead and get in touch with her. Better yet, she likes to go to her local park and scream at statues as well as go to Lesbian get-togethers and assault and yell at lesbians younger than herself.

That’s right, they only bombed a few (thousand) specific locations, why I’m sure they entirely missed giant swaths of land where people weren’t. But draw a big circle that encompasses all the places where they did drop bombs, and then let me know if that circle looks suspiciously like ‘the entire nation of Lebanon’. That’s probably what Jimmy Carter was saying there.

Gun Control/ Confiscation and Government control of property strike me as leftwing.
Of course, Temin is not blind to the fact that the German state of the period, contrary to the Soviets, had not nationalized industry. The apparent paradox is solved by him, however, by pointing to allegedly unequal long-term contracts between the Nazis and industry groups with the obligation of the latter to deliver their output at fixed prices. If firms refused to comply they could be nationalized, for the Nazis viewed private property as conditional on its use to further their goals.

There is no need for people here to be educating you about fundamentals of political theory. Go get an education and stop wasting time.

Man, learn to stay down when you’re beaten to a pulp. How about this list for a start:
– Looks to the past for inspiration
– State obligated to teach public morals
– Prefers tradition to innovation
– Property rights more important than civil rights
– Nature is the primary arbiter of advancement
– Prefers homogenous population
Theree are of course more, but that should give you a start. Mind you, I am not saying that Republicans are Nazis or any such bullshit. That is the kind of Godwinian statement that you’re PW pals seem to be fond of. But the unfortunate reality is that Nazism was born, raised, and thrived on the right-wing of the political spectrum.

Jeff Goldstein is the greatest blogger of all time. He’s just sooooo smart. You all should feel lucky that you get a chance to read his wisdom, for in ages past his writings would never have been published for the masses.

KaiserD and Darleen are doing a wicked awesome job of defending Goldstein. I feel even sorrier for him than I did before I read their comments. In fact, I feel wicked sorry for all of the PW commentors. They seem to have hate-filled hearts.

That chart look like a commercial for Liberals/ Progressives. If you believe this B.S., there is no hope to you,
How does the lefts support for civil rights, open dissemination of information and evaluation preferred means of instruction work with the following favorites of the left:
Speech codes, Hate Speech and the Fairness doctrine.
Civil rights are more important than Property rights.
So does that mean you can not touch the person. But it is Ok to take everything He owns.

Paul L. What utter nonsense.
Property Rights are a form of Civil Rights. How dare you come in here and queer our thread with your Communist propaganda!

Um. No.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some posturing and blaming to do.

Well you have to remember. Goldstein is the second coming…

John S,
You have exceeded your limit for fish shot in the barrel known as Paul L’s brain.
He ain’t gonna get it.
John S.
Apparently not.
Although I do find it amusing that he characterizes what any sane person would view as an accurate chart of the political spectrum as “a commercial for Liberals/ Progressives”.
What a character.
Paul L.
Did you look at the list John S linked that I was questioning or are you trying to do [badly] a Doug J?
So will one of your self described superior geniuses answer my question about the list?
RonB
That’s because these folks don’t understand what the liberal/conservative continuum really is. To righties, the difference is often a series of diametric opposites on issues they choose a predictable quasi-libertarian/ exceptionalist position on. I’m for a strong military-liberals are weak on defense. I’m for limited government-liberals want to tell me how to run my life, etc etc.
It’s all about the labels. Scorning The Other.

This is a decidedy unhealthy thread. I feel, after reading it, I should have myself sandblasted with walnut shells.
The Other Steve
No. I didn’t need to. You came in here spreading your Communist filth, and I’m not going to put up with it!
Darrell
Tell us then Ron, which side was it protesting in the tens of thousands with signs reading “Bush = Hitler” and “No blood for oil”? Would that have been the ever so nuanced reality based community?.. or the black-and-white diametrically opposed conservatives? just curious as to what extent the delusions have taken hold.
John S.
No.
You’ve been given ample sources to draw the appropriate answers from, and yet you choose not to. Besides, I prefer to watch you wallow in your ignorance.

Funniest thread ever. Goldstein’s cock works in mysterious ways.
