Thin-skinned political hack gets annoyed that the “haters” have friends
Serial SLAPP-suiter Warren Kinsella is thoroughly annoyed by the fact that the people he’s SLAPPing are getting financial support to fight him. Hmmmm… could he be worried that they might win?
heheh
Wrote about that exact same thing this morning:

If he loses and gets costs awarded against him, what do you think the chances are of his lefty friends lending a hand?
Yeah, he’s worried.

He’s certainly pretty torqued about it, alright. Imagine: Warren calling someone on accountability. Hello, pot…?
The Famous 5 haven’t made any bones about the tax status of the donations, and all five folks will certainly have large leagal bills due to idiots like Warren.
I like the name calling he does, too. Classy.

Warren Kinsella doesn’t agree with free-born citizens choosing, of their own accord, to donate money to the defense of a lawsuit they find worthwhile.
He prefers that beleaguered taxpayers be forced by law to pay for them, through human rights commissions and tribunals.

Kinsella is a basket case. No one in their right mind will ever hire him again.

I left this comment on WK:
“Hey, I’ve got a job. That’s why I can donate hundreds of dollars to the people you are suing. :)”

Well, I think maybe he finds something ironic in sites festooned with paypal buttons and pleas for money, while the bloggers in question are describing their spa visits, firearms acquisitions, restaurant dinners, Vegas holidays, and so on.
Don’t get me wrong - anything a faux-martyr can extract from a credulous readership is fair game, totally. It’s just amusing, that’s all.

Fair comment, Balb. But at the same time, life goes on. No one I know is going to sit in miserable penury because of Kinsella and Warman, no matter how much they wish it to be so. Kathy works at a great billing rate for her freelance work. Kate works. Ezra is a lawyer. Dunno what the Fourniers do, but they must have some type of sizeable income, given that they have a color-coded filing cabinet full of SLAPP & HRC suits. But the main thing is that they’re all pretty normal, happy people. They aren’t letting this bullshit get them down. Kathy plowed ahead with her wedding plans. Kate goes about her business. Ezra is getting more work than he can keep up with… Face it: Kinsella is pissed that they have actual support.

PS - That book is very interesting, btw.

A very useful corrective to fashionable foolishness. It’s depressing because it confirms that we’re not getting smarter as a species - at least not in a hurry. It’s amusing because it illustrates that folly isn’t the exclusive domain of any particular country or culture. And it’s ultimately hopeful because it reminds you that we do not, in fact, live in the worst of times.
Get to the Dutch Tulip chapter yet?

Won’t pay taxes on what is clearly income? Is he on crack?
I suppose WK reports a taxable beenfit every time someone takes him out for dinner? or feeds him at their home? or gives him a couple of pennies from teh penny dish at Tim Horton’s when his total is $2.03?
Oh, maybe that never happens……… must be sad to have no friends.

The special one is jealous that some people freely give to others.
Some others sharing his politcal stripe are used to extorting funds from taxpayers or finding envelopes full of cash in Quebec restaurants.

Wendy, the phrase “life goes on” means nothing to someone like Balb, who doesn’t actually have one. Jealous much, sweetie? Yeah, I’m gonna cancel my wedding and honeymoon on account of some jackass? Please. I know you lefties value “living simply” and all that crap but believe me, my fans expect me to live, not curl up in a ball and make do on cat food.

Did he ever get this upset that Warman took money from taxpayers via the extortion racket called HRC’s to the tune of 50,000k and didn’t have to pay a dime in income tax?
I’m sure he’s worried,…

Thin-skinned is an apt description for the leader of the geezer punk band “Shit For Brains”Warren Kinsella.
I’m happy to announce that he’s banned me from his site for disagreeing.
