Hey! FR. Veronica and I were Quoted in VARIETY!!!

VARIETY ^ | July 31, 2006 | Hildy

[muawiyah]

Freepers were sensitive to Kennedy's alcoholism, which, when it comes to the Kennedy family, is hardly a disease ~ it is a free will lifestyle choice ~ they KNOW what will happen if they drink and they go ahead and do it.

Calling that a disease is way off the mark. However, Pat lied about using dope. He lied about whatever the traffic incident was.

BTW, Fidel Castro is getting his guts cut tonight.

There, I said it again ~ dispells the depression induced by considering the Kennedys.

[Hildy]

I've mentioned I'm Jewish a thousand times...but that's not the point. There were probably a thousand posts about the subject yesterday. There's a possibility they didn't really read them all. I have to confess that out of the thousand posts, I probably posted a third of them. I'll admit it...so it's not surprising they picked up on something I said...plus...I'm so darn articulate! :)

[Hildy]

That's an interesting take...what do you suppose the "other" side of the story is?

[Beagle8U]

"As to the doctoring, there are several threads, essentially the accusation is that the local police "requested" the arresting officer "rewrite" his report, so that the antisemitic statements weren't part of the public record. Some sources say they were to be included in a separate report to the states attorney, but it found it's way to the media, so that's that."

I read in another article that the higher-ups in that police dept may have ask the officer to edit out some things in the police report because Mel Gibson set up a scholarship fund for the children of fallen officers.

I have no idea if its true, but I could see where they might do that without being ask to.

If the MSM didn't have it in their mind that Gibson was part of the evil "Right", I doubt we would be hearing about it after the first day it came out.

[nopardons]

A lot of that was anti-semitic; though yes, there were some homosexual barbs thrown in as well. It got VERY ugly and VERY nasty.

As to "trigger words", though I shan't repeat any, the majority were blatantly anti-semitic; sadly.

And there's no point in either of us looking through the archives, now, because I think that ALL of those threads have been removed.

[unsycophant]

I assumed they must have been solicited for their quotes, as why else would anyone want to publicize such quotes in the context of "Christian fans at FR"?

Variety believes that conservative = Christian. Of course, they are led to believe that and it suits their purposes.

It's too bad that Hildy has supported Mel Gibson for months and defended him. Sadly she's turned out to be wrong about him.

[Chanticleer]

The W-N word?

[Mo1]

My question was, are those the threads where she was quoted in Variety? I'm not trying to make you go looking stuff up and searching; but I'm wondering if you're right that Variety knows that Hildy is Jewis and quoted her as a Christian anyway.

I am assuming so because the quote in this article is the same as in the first link I posted

IMO .. Variety mentioned her being christain .. because of the far right angle and not about her being jewish or not

Peach .. my point is .. many liberals have said many nasty nasty things about jewish people and there is hardly a peep from the media about it

Yes, Gibson should take alot of heat for his comments .. and so should the liberals .. but the hypocrites from Variety won't do that

[Hildy]

Remind me of your post reprimanding everyone who derided Patrick Kennedy when he relapsed...I'll wait your reply.

[justche]

You don't have to think Mel has a cute hiney - I won't hold that against you.

[SJackson]

I've mentioned I'm Jewish a thousand times...but that's not the point.

I'm sorry, I haven't been paying attention. Needles to say, others have.

You know, this whole conversation, who's a Jew, is sick. But it's part of the forum, isn't it. Someone need to clue Variety in.

[Mamzelle]

re: I assumed they must have been solicited for their quotes)))

Maybe it was Variety that got solicited, rather than doing the approaching.

[Mo1]

Why I would exect people like you to have ANY sense of humor is a flaw on my party.

People like me???

Gee ... are you going to tell me to go to hell too????

[muawiyah]

Most Freepers are violently in favor of totally free speech.

It is incorrect to call free speech advocates "antisemites".

Actually, those who want to punish speech under so-called "hate crime" laws are Islamofascists, leftwingnuts and Nazi sympathizers for the most part.

Few such people post here for any length of time ~ 10 minutes tops until a ZOT.

[SJackson]

white -igger. Someone who sympathizes with -iggers of a different skin color I presume. A famous Byrd pronouncement four or five years ago, I'm thinking on CNN in the morning. Got some attention, not a lot. I don't remember the exact context, other than he's known some.

[nopardons]

Neither should they be posted; he is irrelevant.

[Hildy]

Are you nuts...are you saying I contacted them...is that what you're implying?

[Mo1]

Did you mean to say Variety knew she was Jewish, largely irrelevan, and ommitted it? If so, I'd be curious why they did that. If that wasn't your meaning, never mind.

If they had read at least half of the thread .. they would have known because she stated she was

And yes .. I do think they ignored it

[Hildy]

If you keep saying insulting things I will.

[Chanticleer]

Sort of like calling a black conservative an Oreo -- but in reverse?

My head is spinning.
