Multiple Canadian bloggers sued by one-man censorship show
Richard “The Boy Named Sue” Warman has finally filed his statement of claim.
Canada’s busiest litigant, serial “human rights” complainant and — the guy Mark Steyn has called “Canada’s most sensitive man” — Richard Warman is now suing his most vocal critics — including me.
The suit names:
• Ezra Levant (famous for his stirring YouTube video of his confrontation with the Canadian Human Rights tribunal after he published the “Mohammed Cartoonsâ€)
• FreeDominion.ca (Canada’s answer to FreeRepublic.com)
• Kate McMillan of SmallDeadAnimals.com
• Jonathan Kay of the National Post daily newspaper and its in-house blog
• and me, Kathy Shaidle of FiveFeetOfFury.com
Ezra posts further information here:
Today I was sued by Richard Warman, Canada’s most prolific – and profitable – user of section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. As readers of this site know, Warman isn’t just a happy customer of section 13 and its 100% conviction rate, he’s a former CHRC employee, an investigator of section 13 thought crimes himself. In fact, he was often both a customer and an investigator at the same time.
Being sued by Warman is like being sued by the CHRC
This is going to be costly to my friends and colleagues in the blogosphere, but it will be fought with everything they - we - have got. I stand with each and every one of these people, and I will help them any way I can. Please visit their sites and see how you, too, can help.
UPDATE: Malkin and The Nose On Your Face have rallied.

I hope we Americans can welcome y’all to America when you lose. You’re exactly the sort of refugees we need: strong opponents of tyranny.

It is not only Canadian bloggers under attack — At least one American blogger has come under fire also, and there are other bloggers around the world. Read more at: http://thizndat.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-am-kathleen-freedom-of-speech.html

IMHO is Warman is acting like a certified fascist? Canada is now a fascist country? I bet American, European and Australian bloggers can mock Warman right into a straight jacket. Everyone in Canada must hear about this Warman and the HRC injustice!
This fellow in the HRC, Richard Warman, sounds like a totally wonderful human being who doesn’t have a huge chip on his shoulder or one evil bone in his whole fair-minded body.
He doesn’t at all sound like a sick and demented bastard who is angry
and bitter because he got his butt massively kicked in those elections years ago.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe likes
human rights commissions
that violate human rights
while claiming to protect them
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe hates
real freedom of speech
an American concept
which is NOT for Canada
.
Why Does Canada Allow This?
All real freedom starts with freedom of speech.
If there is no freedom of speech, then there can be no real freedom.
