Enriching Their Folklore

Roadkill 329 Comments

It’s on days like today, with the mercury dropping and a blizzard blowing in, that an urge comes over me to visit the garage and spend a little time with a sleeping Aretha.

(From better times).
After all, we share a few secrets.

  1. We Canadians seem too trusting / naive as a group.
    We voted for the little tough guy from Shawinnigan who was out of touch on the golf course while Quebec almost became *New France* and his security awareness was so poor, some jerk was able to crawl into his bedroom.
    All the while he was in the company of spin doctor mr. K. One glance at Mr K*s choice of [Music?] on his blog should be reason for instant dismissal.
    There remains today a block of emotional, as in NOT logical, Canadians who would vote for the corrupt Liberal gang spawned by the crook from Shawinigate.
    What is wrong with Canadians anyway? = TG

  4. Kate, I’m going to cast my gauntlet into this ring ‘o fire. My points in order are:
    1. BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!
    2. The only person I’ve ever known who had one of those tattoos for real was in Tai Chi with me back in the grand old days. He’d have approved of your letting some hot air out of Warren the Gas Bag.
    3. Eat blue smoke, Warren.

  5. Skip at 9:43 am sums it up pretty well regarding Warren and his own consequences.
    Kate has essentially demolished Warren’s credibility on the blogosphere, which he appeared to bring onto himself.
    Great work Kate at SDA.
    Listed just a few successes of SDA.
    Lorne Calvert’s socialist government – gone!
    CBC Lewand – gone!
    CBC- Krista Erickson – gone!
    CBC faux photoshopped smoke stacks – gone!
    Global warming suspect temperature reading sites -outed.
    Warren Kinsella petard hoisting – currently under way and virtually complete!
    HRC/ Warman / Keith Martin – Warren Kinsella — Fournier, Steyn, Levant debacle currently under scrutiny.
    The one of course that desrves repeating is the demolishing of an inflated ego and in the blogosphere.
    Blog Warren – Credibility gone!

  6. Soooo,
    If I go to right wing sites and pretend to be something I’m not; to bait the posters, I’m a brave champion of minorities against hate speech.
    But..
    If I go to liberal/left sites and pretend to be something I’m not; to bait posters, I’m a racist, bigot.
    Neato

  8. chris:
    Huh?
    Either all have free speech or none have free speech.
    Kinsella has gone on record as having some innate ability to define what type of free speech is hateful and which isn’t.
    That seems like ‘free speech for me and not those who oppose me.’
    I believe there is no such ‘right’ as the right not to be offended.
    If that offends you, suck it up.

  9. I see from the comments that all the right people hate this. Lots of predictable uses of the word “bigot” and kkkate and stuff like that.
    I’d just like to address all you selectively tolerant types and your faux outrage with one observation.
    One of the two people involved here posted a picture of a “Nazi” tattoo on their blog to bolster their political position. This person believes that the Canadian Human Rights Commissions are a good thing and should be prosecuting the likes of Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn. He believes the government should be able to control what people say in the internet, on TV, on the radio and in print. That’s what he’s posted this picture in support of.
    The other one sent an email to a guy she thinks is a dangerous idiot. And he’s proved her RIGHT.
    Flame on, goofs.

  10. I find Kate’s prank a bit tasteless and off-colour but anti-Semitic it isn’t.
    Does anyone else find it funny that the leftards don’t see anything wrong with Kinsella using the Holocaust as his personal ego-stroke but bash Kate for illustrating kinsella’s “abundance of self-esteem”?
    Especially given that the left is the source of anti-Semitism in the west – see Israel boycotts by campus leftards and unions, anti-Semitic ed cartoons in the guardian, Torstar, etc
    It’s western conservatives who support the Jews and who support Israel and don’t hold them up to standards which no one else is held. This is crocodile tears by lying, hypocritical leftards who took time out of their busy Jew-bashing schedule to call Kate an anti-Semite. Well bugger them and the chip on their shoulder.

  11. Ex-Liberal,
    “I have a suspicion that all those around here worried about offending dead Jews, do not defend today’s living Jews who are this minute fighting for survival.”
    How right you are. These wretches make unfounded accusations of racism and bigotry on one hand, while marching in Hezbollah parades, condemning Israel, spewing anti-Zionist rants and supporting Islamofascist racist freaks against Steyn and Levant – on the other.
    Disgusting.
    John Daly,
    “So I agree we have something to fear in radical Islamism. I also think we have lots to fear in radical born again bring on the end of days Christianity…”
    The difference is, Mr. Daly, the Islamic ideology is foundationally violent as proven in their trilogy, with special consideration given to the words and actions of their prophet (who all Muslims are commanded to emulate).
    Of course, and fortunately, the majority of Muslims are nominal (having been born Muslim and nothing more), either do not know their own texts, or have chosen not to follow all of the commands.
    It is also true that Muslims are the first to fall victim to the ideology, with particular emphasis on females.
    But for all the hand wringing about ‘moderate’ Islam and Islamism, Robert Spencer recently pointed out:
    “For if Islam itself is a wholly positive entity, then one would not expect those who take it only in moderation to be the heroes of the piece. The idea that Islam becomes benign only when the Muslim in question imbibes of it sparingly suggests that it contains within it the elements that make it so often not benign.”
    What are the “elements that make it so often not benign.”
    Well for starters, all Islamic sects use and teach from exactly the same texts – Uthman’s Quran, the aHadith and Sira. None of which are moderate.
    The actions and sayings of Mohammad are a huge problem, especially since Muslims are commanded to follow him. However, so are the texts.
    From a recent exchange between two different Islamic reformers
    (Thomas Haidon and Muslims against Shariah):
    Haidon: “You have arbitrarily taken verses out of the Qur’an.”
    That is not correct.
    MAS: “We provide reasons why we removed the verses.”
    Haidon: “why not instead use the brain Allah gave you to try and chellenge the traditional understandings of these verses.”
    MAS: “There is no point in challenging the understanding of “kill them [infidels] wherever you find them”. This is a clear call to genocide. Claiming otherwise is no better than whitewashing terrorism. These verses MUST be removed.”
    The second part of your statement is false and not valid.
    The Christian ideology is exactly the opposite of Islam. Neither the NT, nor Christ’s life example support any sort of violence, regardless of unscrupulous men taking such actions under the banner. The Christian ideology is not foundationally violent, it is the opposite. The NT was not changed, revised, or reformed in the slightest, based on violence, because it didn’t need to be.
    “Love they neighbour as thy self.” And, “Do unto others…” Are two vital Christian tenants that are not in Islam.
    Furthermore, name these “radical, born again Christians” and the attrocities that they have commited. I’d like to know.
    Therefore, if you are as intelligent as you’d like others to believe, you might understand that your equivalence argument is false.
    You might also apologise for the insults and claims of racism and bigotry, slamming everybody on this board.

  12. set you free:
    This whole ‘fake poster’ schtick was ‘kick ass’ as long as Richard Warman was doing it. He even acted like a real racist and posted some awful things. Then he complained about what he posted.
    Kinsella thought this was fair ball.
    Now, someone (Kate maybe? She’s not saying it was her arm.) sent him an email with a serial number in ball point ink, nowhere near 1940’s German script, with the wrong number of numbers, and a letter that wasn’t used, in the wrong spot.
    Kinsella jumps to the conclusion he wants. But that’s not the point.
    Now, he is supremely offended by the content of the post, not the intent.
    Remember, we have to ignore Warman’s content because his intent is so noble.
    But, now we have to ignore Kate’s (or whomever’s)intent, and condemn her content.
    Classic Liberal double-standard.

  13. Sadly, Warren the Kinsella did not check his sources. This must be the first and only time his sources have been inaccurate. How sad that his record of perfection has be besmirched. But it is OK. It is not Warren the Kinsella’s fault that he was fooled; Warren says so. Warren needs a hug.

  14. Right on Chris. WK is offended at being exposed as a puffed up bag of wind. I’m of the opinion he doesn’t really care a damn about the Holocaust except as a way to bash his political opponents.

  15. When Ezra Levant, the guy who ran the freakin’ Mohammed cartoons, for God’s sake, actually puts into black and white that “Kate’s is not a prank I would have done,” then it’s pretty damned clear you’ve gone too far.

  16. Chrissy…the moment you claimed to be a conservative who felt the need to admonish us fellow conservatives regarding Kate’s post,you reached Kinsella heights of credibility.

  17. Uh? set you free? Are you awake? Read chris’ comment again. S l o w l y.
    His point is exactly what you are saying.
    Sooo, what do you think people? Notice how wk neatly sums up my alleged views and prejudices by claiming that the last pissant quoted sums up everyone here? The truly sad part is that wk can’t even see the irony in how with his vitriol against any who disagree with his pathetic little point of view vis-a-vis “hate speech” is by his own definition hate speech. Poor warren. Funny that 99% of Liberal sympathizers make the other 1% look bad.

  18. What Chris said at 2:58 PM . That’s another excellent point for all to ponder, particularly the LEftists, including WArren himself.
    Another double standard identified.
    Very good analysis, Chris.

  19. I’d ask Warren why he, if he’s supposed to be a human rights champion, isn’t standing up for the Falun Gong, who are experiencing a holocaust right now in China.
    The Chinese Communist Party has been engaged this year in a sort of “Final Solution” of their own against their own most inconvenient innocent people, the Falun Gong.
    So how come Warren isn’t going after the Chinese Communist bigots? They’re just as horrendous as the Nazis.
    Then again, maybe Warren’s so blinded by his own zealotry in hunting down white bigots, real and imagined, that he winds up leaving other kinds of bigots alone, no matter how inhumanely horrible they’re behaving, like Islamic fascists and the Chinese Communists killing inconvenient people and harvesting their organs (something Warren MUST know about, as a fellow Liberal, David Kilgour, is all over the issue).
    I just cannot accept Warren’s claim that he’s a “human rights champion”. It’s impossible, because his own actions and words (and lack thereof wrt many issues) make it so.
    His worldview is extremely, zealously narrow, his vision myopic, and he lacks any self-insight, rendering him incapable of correcting his errors and faults.
    It’s a liberal/left/progressive thing.

  20. A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It’s a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it’s because it’s proven.

  23. Sean, the Chicoms have [gasp!] human rights violations?!!! How can this be?! They aren’t White! And besides, Mo Stlong promised they would be good.

  24. Naughty girl, picking on the politically retarded again. Speaking as someone who has, from time to time written a note on my hand, with a black ink ball point pen… the photo W.K. received was more like a kid’s drawing than a tattoo. Then he didn’t even bother to vet the number. The Liberal brain trust is as empty as an echo chamber.

  26. Let me remind everyone that we should not feed the trolls. There have been a few of the new visitors worth responding to but the majority have been of the scroll and ignore variety.

  27. Sean, good point.
    Chretien and Mo Strong have strong business interests in China. Very tight with the evil Communists.
    Kinsella, being a made member of the Chretien/Strong LibMob, cannot stand up for the human rights of people (ie. Falun Gong and other “inconvenient” people) targeted by those (the Chinese Communist Party) who keep his masters (Chretien/Strong) happy and rich. It makes sense.
    Thanks for reminding me, Sean.
    Looks like mob loyalty and money are most important for most Liberals, not human rights.
    Don’t ever forget Kinsella’s a Liberal- it explains a lot.
    I’d be remiss, however, to praise the few Liberals who actually DO care about human rights, like David Kilgour (for standing up to the Chinese Communists for their atrocities) and Keith Martin (for defying his own party to stand up for everyone’s right to freedom of expression).
    Warren Kinsella doesn’t impress me in the least wrt human rights. Not at all. It’s an act that isn’t fooling anyone, this only going after a tiny number of disgusting bigots who happen to always be white, interestingly. That’s all he does- go after a handful of white assholes. Not good enough, because not all hateful bigots and racists are white, but apparently he’s too messed up in the head to realize this!
    Does Warren Kinsella actually think that only whites can possibly be hateful, bigoted, racist, etc.?

  28. Kate, where are you?
    Seriously, your goons are all mentally undressing you at their computer desks, praising you and your “genius”. The least you can do is offer them a topless shot.
    Don’t have the cojones to come back out and comment on your work? No Kathy Shaidle type Mea Culpa?
    Until you do say something, the peasants are just going to have to do your work for you eh?

  29. Its almost beyond belief that both conservatives and liberals (and Jews, too) here don’t see the obvious in this event. Rushing to condemn Kate for sending an “ideologically unattached” email to WK, and not equally condemning Warren for attaching an specific ideology to it, for his purposes, is both hypocritical and bizarre – lot of “ideologues of convenience” here.
    But what is most disconcerting, are the number of conservatives and liberals (and Jews, too) here don’t see Warren for what he really is: an opportunist (he’s projected the clue for years – at his age, why do you think he has a punk rock band?). Warren is a champion of only one thing: Warren Kinsella.
    Spinning the Liberal party for the Chretien mob was an opportunity, and he took it. The swastika event, and his whole career, if you look through it, is about seizing opportunity for Warren Kinsella. Warren doesn’t threaten people with lawsuits for what they say about other people, only what they say about Warren Kinsella.
    This tattoo event was entirely predictable; Kate knew it, because she gets who Warren Kinsella is. Warren doesn’t stand for anything, except Warren Kinsella. A chameleon, he’ll be what the market will bear.

  30. “Does Warren Kinsella actually think that only whites can possibly be hateful, bigoted, racist, etc.?”
    Yes.
    It is called Liberal Racism, or sometimes soft racism, but it is racism nonetheless.
    As practiced by Warren Kinsella.

  31. Not to speak for Kate, but I think she made the only point that she intended to by the initial post…

  32. Of course KKKate thinks the Holocaust is just a repository of comedy gold.
    Didn’t ya see the quote on Kinsella’s site where she’s in favour of genocide against black people?

  33. The Greek nailed it. So many of you don’t get SDA. Kate says very little – for the most part she keeps her opinions to herself. She posts topics of personal and general interest or current events, and she lets the mob run with it. SDA is a hall of mirrors – what it reflects are the posters’ own biases, prejudices, viewpoints and delusions. Contributors will stand or fall on their own merits, not ecause of what Kate says or does.
    Again, to beat the gong one more time: WK attached the rope, and hauled himself high up on his own petard. All Kate did was say to Warren, “Hi, have a rope.”

  35. Maybe Kate took up that marriage proposal from Doug at 12:14:
    “Kate, you are so hot!
    If you are ever interested in a 37 year old classical musician of Italian origin, single, no kids, you let me know.
    PS if we got married you could become a US citizen too.”

  36. Besides, Volik, I don’t see Kinsella condemning the genocides against blacks by blacks, nor against blacks by Muslims, that’s happening all the time in Africa.
    He instead goes after some brainless white bigotards on some crappy-ass website. That’s all he does.

  37. The Canadian Sentiel said: “Does Warren Kinsella actually think that only whites can possibly be hateful, bigoted, racist, etc.?”
    ‘Course not. WK believes no such thing. What he believes is that there’s constituency of morons who DO believe it, and he’s pandering to them. Given the idiots defending him here today, he would appear to be right about that.
    What makes Kate’s gag here so deliciously eeeevile is that KinSueYa is really -bad- at it. Here he is pompously declaiming about the sacred Holocaust, but he doesn’t even know what a German “7” looks like.
    BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! This is GREAT!

  39. Over at the courtyard bully’s place the self proclaimed “kickasser” is now whimpering behind a wall of “supporters”.
    I’m not the bad one Kate’s the bad one! Even people that mock me say she’s the bad one not me. Just ask them it’s her, it’s her, not me. She started it not me. I didn’t do a thing.
    For the sake of Warren’s long suffering wife and family best leave him alone. His sniveling is getting a bit sad.
    Hey, what’s Dr. Fruitfly up to?

  40. Sure thing Johnny baby, whatever. Question is, style aside, am I wrong?
    Unlike Warren KinSpoofYa, I’ve actually seen one of those numbers. Not something you forget.
    I find it interesting that the mean ol’ Phantom Bigot guy knows people with The Number but the Great WK, Saviour of All That Is Good, apparently doesn’t.
    I find it hilarious that he’d get suckered by his own self-inflatedness this way. Awesome!

  41. Actually some people here should look up the term “petard”…… it’s got nothing to do with ropes or other contraptions.
    A petard was the type of explosive device employed in breaching gates or battlements before artillery came into use. The earliest were pottery that was filled with black powder and fused with a powder filled or coated wick.
    The way it was used in breaching a gate was to have a man run up to the portal to be breached and light the bomb. In order to reduce the time exposed to enemy fire the bomber would balance that risk against that of premature detonation and try to time the crude fuse by lighting it before the dash of death.
    Predictable results ….. bomber getting blown sky high … thus HOIST on his own Petard!
    The correct use of the metaphor is in the context of the victim being the author of his own demise by way of rashness and premature engagement.
    So Kinsella has seen things blow up in his face!

  42. Do.Not.Feed.The.Trolls.
    It’s what these demented fools want. Ignore them, and they go away to resume their pathetic lives…

  43. Kate
    I salute you. That was brilliant! Kinsella is a first class buffoon, and it amazes me how some people commenting here (ADS, John Daly)STILL don’t get it.

  45. When I was a lad of ten in Kitchener Ontario, I accompanied my Dad to a local tailors where he wanted to get something altered. The tailor had a series of numbers tatooed on his arm. After we left the store I asked my Dad why he had that on his arm. Dad explained it to me and I felt sorry for the guy.This man, by all appearances was a friendly and amicable person. It struck me even as a child that he had been through one of the worst horrors that could befall anyone, but that he had survived and was jubilant that he was in a country that accepted him and allowed him the freedom to do what he wanted. It was my first and only experience with a Jew who survived the Nazi horror. I cannot speak for him but, I truly believe he would have approved of Kate’s action.
    He was free to speak about it. He was free to express himself and he was free to practice his religion without fear or favour.
    That is what democracy is. Beware the WK’s and his ilk. They are not your friends.

  46. Interesting how there are those (mostly) Leftists who fail to understand what Kate actually did in this post.
    They attack what they want to believe was her intent. They want to believe that it was to mock the Holocaust.
    Oh, bullshit. Don’t be stupid, folks.
    What she was doing was proving a point about Kinsella, and a number of smarter commentors have explained what that was.
    You know, if a Leftist had done a stunt like that, the LEftists would be praising that Leftist for his/her alleged “brilliance”.
    But do they praise Kate’s brilliance over Warren’s imbecility and cluelessness? Nope- they just see an opportunity to, once again, attack a non-Leftist who dares to make an inconvenient point about a Leftist.
    Kate masterfully manipulated Kinsella, effectively shattering the illusion of Warren’s perceived intelligence, exposing him as a fraud. And she demonstrated that he’s desperate to grasp, without first verifying, at anything that comes along to try to bolster his failing position.
    Too bad the Left doesn’t want to accept that yet another of their own is a fraud and not what he claims to be, which, in this case, is supposedly an “anti-racism” activist.
    Anti-racism activist? Warren Kinsella? Please! All the guy ever does is rant about whitey bigotards on some stupid website or in some bathroom somewhere or whatever, while ignoring all other kinds of bigots, racists, evildoers… who don’t happen to be “white”. That’s pathetic and transparent.
    A true anti-racism activist goes after ALL kinds of racists, not just racists of Caucasian persuasion. If the self-professed anti-racist refuses to acknowledge that non-whites can be and sometimes are racists and refuses to condemn them and go after them to take away their free speech rights, too, then the person is a fraud… and a racist himself, even though he’s the same race as those he goes after!
    Too bad Leftists are too daft to understand, however.

  49. Hey Kinsella, ever hear of DAS MAUS? Bet that comic strip pissed you off too. Oh wait, you were too busy being a punk rocker to really delve deeper into the social scene of the days. You have been outed as the Pompous Pretentious Poser you are!

  50. Oh Sentinel –
    I don’t think she was specifically trying to mock the holocaust.
    She was just using it as a ‘prop’ in her little prank.
    In a way, that’s something infinitely more disturbing.
    It’s not a tragic or monstrous thing to her. Merely a prop, a token she can use to make her point.
    She’s so colossally divorced from its horror that she thinks it’s something to be used as an instrument of fun.
    That very same soulless insensitivity goes hand in hand with her calling for genocide against black people, or her hatred for Muslims, black people, and Native people.
    (can ANYONE remind me again how this site is different from the garden variety white supremacist’s site?)
