maybe we should pass the hat and try and raise some money so Warnout can get some psychiatric care.
Another day, another threatened lawsuit from Kinsella. He sure seems to have lots of time on his hands.
From the same guy who think he’s the only one on earth who has the right to free speech…
No wonder his own party hates him.
Who is this Warn-out Chinchilla person, and why the narcissism?
Warren is better connected in the legal profession than you’d think. His threats are far from meaningless, unfortunately.
Jean Chretien was known to brag that he appointed all the judges in this country and that they’d never convict him or his friends, and we all know what a Chretien nuthugger ol’ Warsy is.
That sort of thing should be receiving international attention. Should countries do business with a country – Canada – in which party apparatchiks openly threaten and harass ordinary Canadians, and where it is understood to the point of open joking that Liberal appointed judges don’t convict Liberals? That’s so Warsaw Pact.
Oh, and +1, as the kids say, for M.A.D., he’s good people.
I’m munching on popcorn watching the Warnout Kantsellit/Lucy Pieman/Dr. Froot Fly mental melt down…it really is silly season.
First the Fruit fly goes postal and declares we must have a scientific technocracy which throws any politician he dislikes in jail…
…then Wornout recalling imaginary love letters from small dead animals and now trolling under pseudonyms like his pal Lucy Pieman posting threats and gibberish…..both Lucy and Wornout on a sue-it-if-it-moves paranoid jag.
This is getting interesting…Warren: post back when you, Lucy and the Fruit Fly start seeing the bats Dr. Thompson used to talk about….we’ll send a clinical intervention team over before you do any real harm to yourself. 😉
FASTER THAN A SPEEDING E-MAIL, MORE POWERFUL THAN A POPCORN FART, ABLE TO LEAP LOGIC AT A SINGLE BOUND…LOOK UP ON THE NET…IT’S A TROLL…IT’S A FLAMER, IT’S A NET NERD….NO, IT’S….
SPECIAL ‘K’-MAN AND HIS SIDE KICK, PIEMAN!!
“”TOGETHER WE CAN SUE THE PLANET INTO A UTOPIA!””
Little do citizen’s know that in his secret identity as mild mannered reporter Warnout Kantsellit, special K-man leads a dual life….
cont. in issue #2 of Special K-man comix entitled: “Relp Relp I think I’m being haped!” or “Pwincess fwuffy bunny I think I wuve woo”
Warren’s had a rough few weeks… First his hopes that Mulrooney gets thrown in jail fall flat, then he’s proven to racially dicriminate, then he keeps losing to Ezra Levant, then it starts to look like his favorite thought control legislation (section 13)is about to be scrapped, then it’s disclosed that his authoritative book wasn’t exactly authoritative at all and then he gets exposed for the liberal fascist that he is… Yup, it’s been a rough few weeks for Warren…
Any bets on who hits rock bottom first, Warren or Britney?
Its fun to kick Kinsella, but are we perhaps missing the real story that Kate is pointing us to?
Kinsella accesses the internet through an ISP run by Pollara a major polling company in Canaduh. So how many other Lieberals are using the same ISP? and are they given privileged access to any of Pollaras business? are they paying for the service or was it bought using taxpayers money? Does Pollara advertise this service?
Are polling companies required to disclose close political relationships?
Enquiring minds need to know.
Well, guess what, guys?
I’m not a-scared of the Pauper of Dimness; got a new post up, linking to Dinosaur’s, opining on Warren’s astonishing obsession for trying to scare bloggers into not doing to him what he’s done to others and gotten away with.
http://thecanadiansentinel.blogspot.com/2008/02/kinsella-under-fire-from-all-directions.html
And, Warren baby, nope, I’m not going to click on your hyperlink to your site, if that was indeed you. (I’ve had two very different IP addresses come onto my site claiming to be Kinsella, demanding my identity… I suspect that there are people, perhaps winged monkeys of Warren’s, perhaps without his knowledge, who are going around impersonating him).
I’m going to delete the off topic comments on this thread. Take it elsewhere.
Is someone having a mid life crisis?
We’ve all seen the sort of thoughtful works that are inevitably published, often in Bic pen, in public washrooms. Crudely-drawn breasts, obscene words, fantasied descriptions of a girl who does (X) along with her home phone number, ill-metred limericks, trite gossip, racial slurs, repressed-homo ‘meet-me-here-at-X-o’clock’ messages, crude drawings of erect penises — in short, whatever induces peristalsis in the unknown, we-know-they’re-out-there locker-room representatives of the great unwashed, you can find the evidence there in the men’s room stalls, and above the urinals.
Remarkably similar musings have been found in ruins dating back thousands of years — “Celadus the Thracian makes the girls sigh.” Although what’s written in defecatoriums may be of passing interest to layman and archaeologist alike, no one in the history of mankind has ever considered such etchings to be of great consequence in, you know, the overall scheme of things.
Enter Warren Kinsella. He found some tiny Bic-scrawl on the wall the the men’s washroom in some hockey arena. He took a photo of it, posted it on his blog, and then wrote…a hoo ha ha, he wrote — aha, aaah, ahoo ha ha — he wrote underneath — a ha, a ha ha ha ha, sorry, but this is actually what he wrote: “That looks like a useful contribution to the marketplace of ideas, to you? Perhaps Keith Martin and the editorial-writers at the Globe, Gazette and Post think it is, but I sure don’t…”
Wherever does he get such material?
In an earlier musing he entreaties his 15 or so readers to close their eyes and imagine for a moment that they are Jews — apparently they aren’t — and that they have woken up to find a swastika scrawled on their doorstep. Then, having made the request, he moves on: “Or imagine, instead, that you are a person of colour, and you jolt awake one night to see some teenagers running away, leaving a cross burning on your lawn…”
Okay, trespassing, arson, threatening behaviour — what’s the point?
“It’s JUST WORDS, some say…Not me…No useful idea is conveyed by a burning cross in a rural field, or a swastika on the side of a synagogue. Ever.”
Did you get that, people? That shooting someone in the head isn’t speech? That running someone over with your car isn’t just words, it can be hurtful too?
Someone’s gotta say it. Apparently.
The real issue is not suppressing speech, but ensuring the rights of every other identifiable group in Canada to also post messages on the bathroom wall.
The spinmeister has swallowed himself whole.
I can visual Kinswilsueya crawling around the bathroom floor in some public school, looking for evidence of nazi infiltration.
What a strange man.
Brilliantly argued, EBD, and thanks for cleaning up this thread Kate. I generally try to keep away from the whole matter of WK’s personality, mostly because others are doing the job so well, and partly because it’s just not my shtick, yet I must at this juncture say that WK always reminds me of Raymond Chandler’s famous line: She was kind of girl who’d eat all your cashews and leave you with nothing but peanuts and filberts.
When I was a kid we all had swastikas scribbled on our books and on the lockers and in the shitters. We didn’t really understand much about fascism, we did it because it drove the adults and teachers crazy and we were rebellious little turds. As far as I know, we all grew out of it without the help of bedwetters like Kinsella and the pantywaists at the HRC.
I didn’t know ol’ Warren was into chit-house graffiti. I saw a good one in my favourite stall today as a matter of fact:
“FOR SHEER BOREDOM, CALL WARREN KINSELLA AT 905…”
😉
WARREN!
I solved it. I found out who wrote the Nazi scribble on the shit house wall. It was a dark skinned East Indian.

Good grief. LOL. I’ve seen stuff like that, even worse than that, in washrooms all over Canada, especially on construction sites, all through my life. Why is this so photo-worthy all of a sudden? Its old news. Was this WK’s first visit to a public washroom? or just his first visit to one with an ink marker?
Congrats on winning the Best Conservative Blog, Kate! Well deserved.
Seems to me one can *either*:
-boast (and profit) about what a badass win at all costs Macchiavelian dude one is,
*or*
-have the benefit of the doubt that one isn’t above faking a bit of convenient and timely graffiti to make a point.
Pick one.
Here I sit,
so broken hearted
paid a dime,
and now there’s some guy with a camera loitering nearby and i’m feeling really inhibited.
Anyone else think that since Warren K has been hammering on the Nazis-on-the-loose theme that it is a little too coincidental that he conveniently remembers last week snapping the nazi graffiti in a kid’s washroom? And, what’s with the “at about a kid’s eye level” and “in smallish letters” details?
If the perpetrator is that short it’s because he’s in grade school and the thing starts falling apart when you consider that. I’m not buying Warren’s story.
There’s a lot of coincidences that leave one skeptical, Penny. On a recent thread the K posted a letter someone sent him.
“Warren,
I’ve been closely following the current debate, especially on your blog…”
Much later: “My eyes are glued to the television as I watch with great nerves and great hopes as Americans finally appear poised to elect a voice for morality….”
How many people write like that, realistically?
“…someone who is genuinely willing to defend those people who most need it, to begin working to bring the country together rather than continuing to drive it apart….I am sitting here in my office asking this, as a liberal, a Liberal, a Jew and a Canadian: where is our voice?”
Anyone buying that?
Warren of course is the author of “War Room” so of course there are Nazis everywhere, including the bathroom.
Memo to Warren: World War II is over, rumour has it, some 63 years ago.
On the other hand, there are some people who feel that Adolf had some good ideas such as these fine neo-Taliban type Nazi boosters with the “God Bless Hitler” sign.

Now if these photos were from the washrooms in Islamabad, Pakistan then WK might have something substantive to talk about.
Alternately, he might direct his attention at Hashemi Rafsanjani who suggested:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301296,00.html
Hashemi Rafsanjani, former Iranian president and current Chairman of the Assembly of Experts, said Friday that Hitler’s treatment of Jewish people in Europe was due in part to their being “a pain in the neck.”
Rafsanjani’s comments came during a sermon for “International Jerusalem Day” on Iranian TV.
Video: Click here to watch Rafsanjani’s speech (memritv.org).
Rafsanjani noted that Jews caused problems for European governments because they “had a lot of property” and “controlled an empire of propaganda.” He also said that the Nazis were successful in saving Europe from the evil of Zionism.
The former Iranian leader served as president from 1989 to 1997, and was succeeded by Mohammad Khatami. Rafsanjani ran for a third term in office in 2005, but lost to current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Maybe Warren Kinsella can recommend a good Jewish chiropractor for Mr. Rafsanjani for his ‘pain in the neck problem’. I’m sure he would receive a warm reception.
Thanks for the laughs WK, please share more from your next Middle East travelogue.

Congrats again Kate!
No surprise on the #1 Conservative Blog.

“The spinmeister has swallowed himself whole.”
Sorry to disagree but your description of his demise is just a bit too ‘clean’.
Actually I envisioned it more as the endangered Circle Bird. That is a bird who rapidly flies in ever decreasing circles until it flies up it’s on ass and disappears.
Doesn’t the Wornone read the news? Second Cup in Montreal had to remove its restroom camera!
whoops
on ===> own
god i love your site kate pete
The picture and parts of the story presented (I refuse to go to the guys site, Vitruvius will probably clobber me for not reading the original) here do not represent anything but hearsay.
The graffiti could be done by anybody anywhere, even for a useful purpose. This is like manufacturing evidence that may help your case.
The man is a lawyer, he certainly should know that.
C’est la vie, or maybe not.
I knew this from some Navajo things of the past that I ran across, but checked anyway.
So, how does he know the subject of his photo isn’t a confused statement by a Native American or First Nation.
(note the mention of the First Nation saddle on display in Saskatchewan)
From Wiki:
“The swastika shape was used by some Native Americans. It has been found in excavations of Mississippian-era sites in the Ohio valley. It was widely used by many southwestern tribes, most notably the Navajo. Among various tribes, the swastika carried different meanings. To the Hopi it represented the wandering Hopi clan; to the Navajo it was one symbol for a whirling winds (tsil no’oli’), a sacred image representing a legend that was used in healing rituals (after learning of the Nazi mimic “whirling winds” the Navajo rejected the symbol).[23] A brightly colored First Nations saddle featuring swastika designs is on display at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada.[24]”
EBD – right on. Warren’s convenient little Nazi graffiti discovered at “a kid’s eye level” is bizarre and suspicious. What are the chances? Short little grade schoolers don’t usually print neatly naughty stuff and are hardly political vessels.
I’m guessing his correspondence is as phoney too.
What a nutball.
So, how does he know the subject of his photo isn’t a confused statement by a Native American or First Nation…
A tormented liberal taking pictures in bathrooms of confused First Nation statements and bringing new meaning to We Stand on Guard for Thee…
Kate, even you couldn’t make this stuff up but you sure have a way of highlighting it!
Mr. Kinsella,
Is that a Panzer division in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
Tache Hall, the oldest residence at the U of Manitoba, had swastikas patterned into the floor tile at several entrances. (As I recall, it was built in about 1913.) No burning crosses though, and I don’t remember any profound literature on the crapper stall walls either.
Correct me if I am wrong that scrawl sure looks like Warren’s handwriting.
Hmmmmmm.
Maybe he was in the stall a little longer than we thought.
Is the pen government issue?
CRB
As I recall from a visit to India, the “swastika” symbol is used by a pacifist Indian religion, Jainism, and Hinduism as well as Buddhism, dating from the 6th Century B.C.; so?
So WK has a “talent” – he can change hands multiple times without missing a stroke. Hopefully Guinness is watching … a record is being set.
Heh… I have an idea. I wonder how many “flattering” emails we can get Kinsella to print?
Remember – you’re the victim, he’s the hero.
Poor little lost liberal, what they resort to when they have their dirty little hands removed from the cookie jar that is the federal treasury. This pathetic little dweeb doesn’t know the difference between racism and a nostalgic farmers longing for the days of the White tractor that used to farm the praries in large numbers, that’s all that [evil] writing is all about, those tractors had a lot of power. But seriously folks, why does any newspaper give this dufus a platform.
Something that people could post are good statements regardless of religion or not. Have a Nice Day; Jesus Loves You, It Can’t Be All Bad if you can Sit Here… etc
Like I said in my previous post, I have never really seen what he claims to see and I read the stuff when it is there.
I’m waiting for the day that WK discovers that, with sufficiently motivated assistants, one can in fact do a colonoscopy with an ordinary digital camera.
This has to be the most delightfully hilarious group of comments, I’ve ever witnessed here….. thanks Kinsella, keep up the liberal antics!
Did no one question him as to why he was in a boys washroom with a camera?
Did he say “It’s OK I’m a Liberal”?
If any kid happen to need to use the bathroom when he was snapping pictures, they may just have a case.
Now wouldn’t that be ironic.
Blazingcatfur:
” Is someone having a mid life crisis?”
Maybe the change of life for scatmaster K…seems he gets hot flashes in men’s washrooms when he sees dirty graffiti.
BTW,
In case everyone’s forgotten:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B00E4DF153FF936A2575BC0A961958260
Before Hugo Boss A.G. became known for classic men’s suits and flashy ties, the clothing manufacturer made uniforms for the Nazis, a company spokeswoman acknowledged today.
I’d say anyone seeing Kinsilly or anyone else loitering around a washroom with a camera should turn them in. Isn’t that getting awfully close to perversion?
Graffiti could be just the cover, how do we know?
We do know, it’s gotta be pretty hopeless in the LPC when the guy who uses toy dinosaurs for props has been reduced to taking photos in toilets.
