Patterico is my bitch!: A report from deep right weirdness.

Let me tell you about a junior DA with the Los Angeles District Attorney named Patrick Frey. He runs an extreme right blog called patterico. I've been toying with this humourless, hair-triggered wingnut and his 'Lord of the Flies' posse off and on for a couple months now. Got so I could fine tune my posts so that nearly every one would send him/them into hilarious, sputtering paroxysms; on sanctimonious rages, or on web-scouring investigations into my real 'identity.'

Last few days he's been blogging obsessively about me, as if in a fever. Literally thousands of words but, oddly, not a single one about his original issues, the ones I'd originally written about. (Those were standard grade, far right delusions about liberals lurking in the halls and within the news and opinion columns of the LA Times.)

Of couse, I was beating his ass like a cheap carpet on every important topic or point. His final compulsion was triggered by my changing my screen name, from one that was way, way too close to my actual name (especially when it came to some of the nuts in his mob), to one that gave me much more anonymity. In fact, there is the matter of a handful of creepy email and phone messages that continue to trickle in -- but I'll save that for a later post.

Frey ended up banning me, but not before he and his minions devoted something like 150 posts to the subject.

So check out my few weeks from the far-out-there-right thoughtscape if you have the patience or stomach. Alternately hilarious and scary (I mean, "castration"?). In all, pretty interesting.

PS:
Here's where to find some of his early rancor (he even writes a long letter of complaint to Jamie Gold, LA Times Reader Rep, referring to luminaries like Michelle Malkin.) And this is (can't believe I'm writing these words) from a junior DA in the Office of the LA District Attorney! The tool even proudly signs it, Patrick Frey, Patterico's Pontifications
