Ezra Levant has our Statement of Defence.
(Thank you again, to everyone who has sent donations to my legal fund. It's in a very healthy position now, so if you haven't already contributed, or were thinking of doing so again, hold off. If I think I need to top it up as the process winds along, I'll let you all know.)
Now, I must get out of here. I have work to do!
I'll say it again.
I don't want to see you guys merely defending yourselves from this arsehole.
I want to see his head on a stick. If nothing else, a counter suit that makes him pay for what he has done.
As it is this whole dog and pony show looks like a publicity stunt and nothing more.
Posted by: Rusty P. Bucket at July 22, 2008 8:54 AMI, on the other hand, am paying my/our lawyer to go over my book manuscript (the one condemning the Human Rights Commissions) before it comes out.
Not an expense I'd originally factored in, but our publisher can't afford it himself.
Just sayin'!
(Yeah, I'm shameless.) :-)
Posted by: Kathy Shaidle at July 22, 2008 9:00 AMWhen launching a counter suit, what is the legal terminology for a suing someone, who for lack of a better description, is nothing but a sissy?
In addition to the pie man, I'd also name Special K just for $hits and giggles.
Posted by: Eskimo at July 22, 2008 9:42 AMFry his sorry ass...
Go after everything he has in a countersuit
The S.O.B has abused his position for personal gain...UNACCEPTABLE
NO MERCY!!!!
Posted by: Paul at July 22, 2008 9:44 AMCertainly, sue him.Leave him with nothing but his arsehole and eyebrows.

Hey Liz J, I say just leave him his eyebrows!
Enjoy you're day Kate. Don't let the turkeys grind ya' down.

I,for one, am tired of the constant bashing of people with "inapprpriate" descriptions such as above.
I think "ASSHOLE" is more appropriate.

Posted by: Horny Toad at July 22, 2008 10:54 AMLooks like your lawyer has a good handle on the situation, Kate. Both you and Ms. Shaidle should be elated you're heading to real Court rather than the an HRC kangaroo court of hurt feelings.
Posted by: mark peters at July 22, 2008 10:56 AMYou are a champion of free speech. Godspeed.
Posted by: Dennis at July 22, 2008 11:08 AMKate, Kathy,
I think both of you are amazing.
Let me know if you need help. I'd be happy to contribute a coupla 100 to the cause.

Posted by: jlc at July 22, 2008 11:22 AMI nominate Ezra Levant for an Order of Canada.
Posted by: Larry Lloyd at July 22, 2008 11:26 AMThanks for your support everyone.
For those who've asked: we've aiming for an early September publication date.
PS: Mark Steyn is writing the foreword!
Posted by: Kathy Shaidle at July 22, 2008 11:27 AMSomeone needs to set up a legal defense fund so this extra money can go into an investment fund to await the next attack. And of course to fund counter-suits and such.
Wouldn't it have been nice to get a phone call the day after you got this SLAP saying, "No worries, we've got lots of money to defend this suit. And we will go on the offense and extract justice through a counter-suit".
You'll win this legal battle, but thought needs to be given about the war. There needs to be a war chest created to defend freedom in Canada.
Ezra is disqualified for the Order of Canada, he's Conservative.
Posted by: Liz J at July 22, 2008 11:37 AMIf the ideal of free speech is to avoid becoming a powerless cliche in an increasingly beseiged Canadian society, then this fight must be hard fought and those that dare debate must prevail.
Otherwise, the keys to our nation's future will be taken from its' citizens if relative offense to opposing ideas creates a crime. Freedom is not only a whisper with the wind, it's also a yell against it. Freedom is not silence. Forumsres ipsa loquitur. By the words of Patrick Henry!
Posted by: Martin B. at July 22, 2008 11:53 AMNow, now Larry,
What did Ezra ever do to you to warrant such a nasty insult? Order of Canada? You may as well have said he deserves the nobel peace prize!
Posted by: Warwick at July 22, 2008 12:30 PMI'm retired military.
I want to know how and why this slimeball is now working in DND. Someone please explain that one to me. I'm starting to feel dirty.

"""""Let's just say I'm going to be a little bit more loquacious about the reputation that the plaintiff claims has been damaged."""""

tho not an enviable one
AND IF A WAR CHEST IS NEEDED TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE......PLEASE INFORM AND THERE WILL BE MANY STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE

Posted by: George at July 22, 2008 2:38 PMLet us know if you need some money for your case. Stomp this POS.
Posted by: Dave at July 22, 2008 3:20 PMSee you in the maple archipelago.
Posted by: Peter O'Donnell at July 22, 2008 3:33 PMA good idea Don Uthole but don't forget Connie and Mark at FreeDominion are also facing several Libel actions by the same set of SLAPP abusers.
Marc Lemire also deserves some support for without his ongoing case and defense - the whole human rights racket would never really have received the high profile of infamy and insanity it has.
A combined defense fund that includes the Stephen Boisson (sp) case and Earle might be in order at a later date once the "Lucy" and "Special K" attempts at "Maximum financial disruption" are dismissed and counter suits for cost and damages are initiated.
They are Winning but it is a long hilly road! Even without the woods around Delisle lol!
FIRE. THEM. ALL
Posted by: The LS from SK at July 22, 2008 3:42 PMI will step up with cash also. Just say the word and the donation will be there. We need you people to fight for us who cannot,but we can give you the money to do so. Thanks everyone.
Posted by: eliza at July 22, 2008 3:54 PMThis is a great commentary on the "Islamophobia/HRC" madness by a very articulate guy called Pat Condell. Well worth the watch and listen. We could use a few more commentators like him in the True North, Strong and Free.

Thanks, Kate, for doing your bit. Why is it that the people with their fingers on the real pulse of our nation aren't writing and reporting for our media outlets?
I know. I know. We all know the answer to that one... :-(
Posted by: batb at July 22, 2008 4:41 PMKathy are you taking orders before the book launch? I'd love to order two copies before the release. If you are considering it write a blog posts with the details. Have you considered releasing the first chapter for a fee, perhaps a donation of 20 dollars and you get to read the first chapter this would help defray the legal fees.
What's the subject again, oh yea Icky Dicky. I first stumbled apon his name two years ago, and I can assure Icky the bloggers wrote not a single word or supplied a single link about him that altered my opinion of him. I thought he was a vile arsehole two years ago, and since then I've gone through numerous transcripts from the CHRC and his actions and deeds only confirmed my original opinion. He's an arsehole, who's apparently drunk on power and he thinks he's above mere rules of moral and ethical conduct. I despise him, as do most people when they find out his MO as the CHRCs most aggrieve customer.
Posted by: Rose at July 22, 2008 6:07 PMHi Rose,
My publisher will be setting up a special site for the book before it comes out, specifically to take pre-orders. I'll pass along your ideas to him.
I will certainly be posting lots about the book as the launch date gets closer.
Thanks for your interest and support. The foreword by Steyn alone will be worth it :-)

PatCondell is indeed well spoken. There are several short commentaries that are worth the time to have a look at.

Posted by: reg dunlop at July 22, 2008 7:21 PMbest of luck all of you, Lord knows you'll need it. Lucy et al seem bound and determined to set y'all straight on the proper way to conduct yourselves in the presence of the greatness of themselves.
Posted by: kelly at July 22, 2008 7:28 PMGood luck, Kate and Kathy. I hope your lawyer(s) point out that Worman is suing 2 white chicks whose names both start with K. Sounds like prejudice to me. And he is also only libeling,slandering,and abusing white people. Again. Sounds pretty prejudiced and bigotted to me. IMHO,this is what you guys HAVE to do. Expose Worman and the HRC's for the prejudiced,bigotted,kangaroo people they are,and take their arseholes AND eyebrows in a countersuit.Oh yeah.And their firstborn,if you could stand the little snots.
Posted by: Justthinkin at July 22, 2008 7:57 PMFrom experience I have to agree with James completely.
To quote a quote as far a Justice is concerned
IF YOU WANT SATISFACTION GO TO A WHOREHOUSE
IF YOU WANT TO GET FU--ED GO TO A COURT HOUSE
To Kate and Kathy,
I know this is not important but I can not help myself, when I see one I have to mention it ( bad habit I know ) but I found a typo at paragraph 19 item (d) where it says,
That posting fictitious messages on websites or blogs races questions concerning the extent to which allegedly racist material posted on the Internet is authentic.
races questions?
or raises questions?...
Posted by: Friend of USA at July 22, 2008 8:29 PMAnd as an aside....just what do you think you are doing,Kate and Kathy,asking your fellow rednecked,knuckledragging,Neanderthal,anti-social,backwater conservative supporters for monetary aid in this "Holy Crusade" against bigotted,racist,(pick your choice)phobic types like you 2? Doncha know you are suppossed to ask Mommy State to help you? Or maybe the MSM to report on this for help? Oh sorry. That only works for leftard feminists supporting the fight against Sharia law and down-trodden Islamic women. Oh wait.
Posted by: Justthinkin at July 22, 2008 8:31 PMPlease advise of financial requirements as they arise.
Posted by: DrDave at July 22, 2008 11:26 PM
These desperate middle-management Mussolini's keep drawing new lines to protect their fiefdoms, benefits and pensions.They're desperate.
Kick their ass.
Of course some kind of major-league "war chest" needs to be set up. Just look at how one-sided this competition is. All the defendants, mostly non-lawyers, need to individually beg for donations on every case, while the opponents who use the HRCs pay nothing, and those who file suit directly, like Warman and Kinsella, are lawyers who sue others for a living. In addition, any jihadist who wants it can probably get smothered in cash from the mountains of it that our avowed enemies have extorted from us by the tens of trillions of dollars, for oil we explored and drilled for for them before they expropriated everything.
Without this oil that they did absolutely nothing to earn other than living on top of it, these barbarians would still be tending their camels as a livelihood. Instead, they now have absolutely no incentive to move into the 21st century, and the means to gain the weaponry necessary to drag the rest of the world back to the 7th century with them.
All because Allah tells them so.
