re: #944 Bagua

Link to your blog

Ah … you link to a blog entry critical of Barney Frank, a particularly loathsome and powerful Congressman who I am no fan of.

The post simply re-posts a couple of blog posts by some NRO writers, one of whom was quoting Barney Frank. Here is what it said:

“Barney Frank’s Name-Calling [Ed Whelan]

Barney Frank’s attack on Justice Scalia as a “homophobe” is inane at several levels:

First, the term “homophobe” is an ugly epithet designed to stigmatize (“he’s the sicko”) those who don’t embrace the homosexual agenda. It’s intended to cut off serious discussion, not to promote it. It doesn’t belong in public discourse.”

Now, Bagua, what you did was clearly lazy and sleazy. You cut and pasted bits of this to try to make it seem that I was making some ugly comments, which I cleary was not. I have seen this happen to Charles many times in the media, being blamed for someone’s comments on the site. What you are doing is no different.

It is dishonest.

You can, and should do better.

Feel free to read my blog. But don’t feel free to mis-represent me or what’s on it b/c you may disagree politically.
