Speak it, Brother. I had two run-ins with Frisch last year, one on my blog and the other on a friend’s blog. The point is, that of the Leftists who stumble onto my blog, she’s not that far from the norm. For Leftists who mingle amongst their own they probably see few people like her in their circles, but many people with her type of sensibilities like to take on the role of “Ambassadors of Progressivism” and I see a disproportionate share of these Ambassadors. Further, I also get to see the “Army of God” type stalkers of the Left who seek out, and publish, personal information like addresses, phone numbers, photographs, work details, spouse’s name and information about children so that their acolytes can use this information as they think best.

It amuses me no end when I read Leftists complaining about these tactics being unique to the nutcases and partisans of the Right, as thought there is something in the very foundations of Leftism which suffocates such malignancy of personality. Ideological tunnel vision, taste for partisan battle, and lack of social graces and good sense are not bounded by ideological limitations.
