  1. Ahhhhh.poor Nutless thinks that somebody dislikes him.Hey Warran.We don’t dislike you,we dispise you. Merry Christmas.

  2. OT: I hate blog stories that have so many hypertext links in them that it’s impossible to follow a train of thought.
    In a way, it’s misdirection. Make your point and provide a few links. Those truly interested will search deeper. It’s not necessary to link to everything you/cited sites have ever written.

  3. Warren would love his nuts back for Christmas, unfortunately he has no place too put them..
    I mean really, when you have to get punkish as a fourty something to maintain your self professed hipnesssocity….I think you’re trying to hard.
    Syncro

  4. Is it just me or does Kinsella look like one of those red shirts on every old Star Trek TV episode that would disappear when their 15 minutes of fame was up?
    Set Phasers on Done.

  6. Careful folks …… remember this jerk will use any …. repeat ANY ….. excuse to sue your ass off. That’s the way he operates

  7. Ya, awhile back he said he would be in The Mother Of All Lawsuits —– one of PMPM’s guys was Herleing $$s around, or something. Don’t know whatever became of it. Can’t check it out on that so-called blog —– no archives, no comments, just that same old media-like doings —- I will TELL you how to think, er, listen —- and no talking back, ya hear ?
    Must be lonely at the top šŸ™
    But he did help to rid us of PMPM — that is why I like him.
    And he likes Andrew Coyne. Say, doesn’t Chris work for AC ?

  8. I guess that explains Warren’s reluctance to allow comments on his site…….he’s just trying to avoid a slew of legal actionns
    How magnanimous.
    Syncro
    p.s. How does one entice one’s co-worker to interview one when both are columnists for the same periodical?
    BTW Warren..How are times on the Hill?

  10. As I said before, I have simply quit reading Kinsella’s blog.
    I found it interesting during thae last election and less so during the leadership fiasco but since then he has become irrelevant for me.
    but that’s just me!

  14. I’m a relative newbie here, but what got me hooked in the first place was this:
    Until this moment
    I have been forced
    to listen while media
    and politicians alike
    have told me
    “what Canadians think”.
    In all that time they
    never once asked.
    This is just the voice
    of an ordinary Canadian
    yelling back at the radio –
    “You don’t speak for me.”
    Bravo.

  16. “the abused always kick downwards”
    Am I reading this correctly? My thought just now (yeah, I’m a bit slow) was about the concept of “A” people preferring to hire “B” people, and “B” people preferring to hire “C” people…etc, in order to maintain authority.
    If you’ve never seen a bunch of “A” people in real life (who like to hire people smarter than them) in action, you could be forgiven for thinking that the MSM is competent.

  17. I don’t get why we need to pay any attention to this loser (Kinsella). He has become irrelevant,and no one pays any attention to him except other bloggers or journo types.
    Merely by mentioning him and linking to him we increase his significance from cockroach to snake level.
    Forget the guy. He’s not worthy of a blogwar. Like the trolls that show up here so often… just ignore.

  19. It’s good to keep Kinsella around just for the laughs. His pisiform intellect invites purple parodies. And it’s fun to watch Kate beat him like a stuffed toy. Merry Christmas.

  20. and he is aging so horribly . . . needs to get himself a barrel o’ Botox or a really good plastics doctor.

  21. In following Kinsella-esque protocol I must first preface my post with a strained insincere civility to my opponent to mask venal contempt of detracrors:
    So here we go:
    We don’t know him, and he really dislikes us. That’s the blogosphere, etc. Whatever. We send him our very best wishes in this joyous Christmas season.
    Now…After poring over all the veiled intent in this latest little snit of Warnout’s I must say one thing about the man…..aside from being a master fearmonger, (creating official hysterical race panic with no existent causation) he, in his declining years, has become the master of the intellectually dishonest equivalence.
    There is no racist like one who capitalizes in race politics…And there is no bigot like the one who evaluates everything in terms of race.
    And there is none as intellectually dishonest as he who believes a majority can do no right and a minority can do no wrong.
    Welcome to Warnout’s demented little surreal bubble of microcosm ( his web of hate if you will)…he made a career from peddling this intellectually dishonest racist fear mongering….fortunately for us all, reality and a wider public return to reason is about to shatter his fragile dream scape.

  24. “What did Kissinger say?
    “Can’t they both lose?”
    Posted by: Kathy Shaidle at December 22, 2007 7:06 AM ”
    Rotflmao…darn.Now my keyboard needs cleaning.
    Merry Christmas all.Thanks for the laugh Kathy.
    And a New Years prediction….Kate will hit 7,777,777 on March 30th.

  26. horny toad says…

    your not alone

  27. Kinsella will be around for awhile long not in any effective roll, but rather as a repository for humor poked at yesterday’s fool.
    His affinity for punk-rock non-music makes him look even more the old aging fool.
    I wonder if he is now old enough and fat enough to finally get HIS Harley.

  28. I read Warren’s little tear jerker about his 1982 encounter with the great man Trudeau. I guess Warren didn’t see that little snap of PET giving Canada the finger from the window of his private railroad car in Salmon Arm. Wasn’t it Trudeau who said that off the hill MP’s are nobodies? He was probably mocking the democratic process and all of those voters who partook in it. Hey, but that’s just me…

  29. I decided to Google Kinsella. The Toronto Sun was quoted: “Kinsella is a modern day Machiavelli”. I had got off a used book sale “The Klu Klux Klan in Canada” this by one Julian Sher. The man who knows more about what happened on a June day 48 years ago, than most. Like he was there, following a lad and a girl on a bycycle.

    What a hard grinding task these worthies have. Next we will hear the tramp of jack boots and the singing of the Horst Wessell Lied (laughs).

    They cannot even do a decent bogie man.

  30. Ah, Warren the fascist. The true nature of the Liebrano becomes now apparent: “nach oben lecken und nach unten trapfen” (bootlick those above you and kick the downtrodden below you)

  31. When Kinsella looks down, he kicks; when he looks up, he’s reaching with his nose for the memorized ass of his superior. He probably imagines that his mentor would be impressed by the kicking stories, but inasmuch as his superior had bigger fish to fry, a bigger pan, and a backup force who wielded their own pans, he would surely be unimpressed by Kinsella’s attempted approximations of power-privilege.
    Kinsella probably knows, deep down, that his attention-seeking attacks on weaker (less-lawyered) opponents are as embarrassing to he-who-gave-K-his-leg-up as they are to the rest of us, but that’s deep down; publicly, he’s just gotta try harder. He viciously slurs Kate wit da proof: Kate supports the notion of free speech, so that means she defends nazis.
    I know. It makes about as much sense as saying that since Kinsella opposes free speech, he wants women and Asians and the Amish to shut their mouths.
    COAB. Anyhoo, thanks, Kate, for that lovely photo of Kinsella holding up a swastika next to his face. It’s so desperately self-considered, so prurient, so appropriating of mass murder and vicious immorality and colossal suffering and degradation and…and…actually, you know what, the the more you look at his pose, the more you realize that Kinsella is actually a hero — yeah, that’s it, he’s a hero protecting Canada from the Nazi menace.
    We need someone strong, someone who will lead us into Cze….sorry, no, no, someone who will fight tirelessly to ensure that the swastika will never again be held up by any craven, power-fantasizing politico with a toddler-brain directive to find and crush opponents. Someone who’s a really terrific writer to boot.

  32. GDW, thanks for that link to WK’s garage band, who sound like a watered down version of Herman’s Hermits, whose records NO self respecting child of the era would admit to buying.
    He does, unfortunately, look a lot like Colin Mochrie, whose comedy is intentional.
    btw, Kate, can’t you launch an HRC complaint about the “Nazi supporter” reference?

    Kate, can’t you launch an HRC complaint about the “Nazi supporter” reference?
    We (conservatives) should NOT for whatever reason launch an HRC complain and thus give credibility to those kangaroo courts. If needed we should sue.

  34. Kinsella claims he was Chretien’s righthand man but he is mentioned only once in Chretien’s new book. That was a line in oassing about the Barney the Dinosaur prank. That is all; no war room or anything.

  35. This reminds me… Time to dust off some poetry:
    http://www.digiteyesed.com/weird/hasbeen.php
    It’s a souvenir of when I used to run a political blog and Warren threatened to sue me over the silliest damned thing. I dropped the affair in the lap of a lawyer specializing in defamation and he actually waved the bill. Told me the horse laugh he got from this threat coming from another lawyer was payment enough. To say that my lawyer thought the legal threats were merit less was an understatement.

  37. I gather from comments by my late mother and grandfather that even in the `30s Naziism and fascism were hard sells in Canada – English Canada at any rate, probably in Quebec as well. I personally have never met anyone with sympathy for the Nazis – Hell, we’re the guys who beat them, at great cost to ourselves (well, our grandfathers). Again, Canadians are not good haters. And we do have a successful society incorporating people of many ethnic backgrounds as a result.
