  1. LOL the only people who’d attend the conference are already getting a front seat to the Lamire Persecution why waste more of our dollars on a conference discussing what they discuss in the lunchroom daily.
    As for Kinsella, poor lad is a nobody why would anyone want to hear him pontificate?

  2. So lets tally up the scoreboard.
    Free speech rally: cancelled
    Human rights conference: cancelled
    Seems to me nobody beyond the political blogosphere cares one way or the other about this issue.

  3. WK will,in all likelihood spin this as ‘no one had the balls to face off against him’. Too bad.

  4. I love how the reporters said so many people came to hear “the great man” speak.
    I’d ask them – what has he done to actually make him ‘great’?

  5. A concert featuring “Shit from Hell” would have to be free, with Winkie Dink Warren and the Shitlets offending eardrums.
    No doubt Warren is going through the toy box desperately seeking the right toy to slag some Conservatives in his spare time. Whatever gets him through these dark days for his Libranos.

  6. K will,in all likelihood spin this as ‘no one had the balls to face off against him’. Too bad.

    Yep. He’s already done that.

  7. Shit From Hell would be an apt title for the Kinsella encomium arriving at an Indigo near you,complete with fawning Heather Reisman webcast and Warren’s famed balloon animals trick.The thought sends a tingle up my leg.

  8. HEY. If I happen to be a satinist,can I sue Kinsella for mierepresenting Hell? There ain’t no shit down here!

  9. Justthinkin, would’nt it properly be “Burnt Sh!t From Hell”?
    BTW, I expect given the RCMP investigation that the HRC conference was postponed so they could concentrate on practicing their file shredding and memory lapse skills. “What records?” and “I don’t recall…” being their favorite things these days, eh?
    I’m dying to see how far that flies in a normal court room, I really am.

  10. Because I want to attend (and probably picket), I just called the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal offices to ask why B.C. is hearing a case (Mcleans & Mark Steyn vs. Mohammed Elmasry) that involves no one from B.C.
    The only person I could speak with was a receptionist who of course “cannot comment” on any aspect of the case – in fact, she couldn’t even tell me where or at what time the hearing would take place.
    She did advise me to call on the day of the scheduled hearing (June 2nd) to make sure it hadn’t been ‘cancelled’. So, if I’ve got her information straight, Elmasry from Ontario can cause Mcleans Magazine from Ontario and Mark Steyn from New Hampshire to expend vast amounts of their own money to travel to B.C. – and then at the last minute, withdraw his complaint without penalty.
    At the same time, citizens who might wish to travel from Prince George, or Kamloops or Vancouver Island in defense of free speech, will just have to take their chances that the whole thing might or might not go ahead.
    Just another reason this whole kangaroo court thing needs to be abolished.
    BTW, I too have written to PM Harper, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and my own Conservative MP, to tell them that neither money, door knocking or perhaps even my vote will be available to them, unless they deal with the HRC issue.

  11. Just because the Conservative Government isn’t listening to our cries of outrage doesn’t me we should stop shouting. This fight could take years and cost Harper a majority Government, he doesnt’ deserve to lead this country.
    Keep up the good work NoGuff.

  12. Shit from Hell”
    Yeah, but with warren’s middle-aged poser attitude they should be called “Poop from Heck”.

  13. The band in question typically plays in venues seating no more than three to five thousand people, a sliver of the total turnout.
    Give credit where it is due, Kate. The man has the ability to draw thousands upon thousands to his rallies.

  14. yes…thousands and thousands to his ‘rallies’ ?????????????????????
    punk poseurs have ‘rallies”?
    i don’t suppose i’d be too far off the mark in guessing you’re a ‘fan’ ?
    since i have your ear….and IF you ARE a fan…would you be so kind as to decipher the ‘omphalos’ of vicious warren rotten’s band’s earlier incarnation as the “hot nasties’ ?
    such a cool name…so suggestive …nay redolent of guys that have super hostility and resentment of the status quo kinda i think….more or less….if you get my drift…know anything about this kinda stuff as i’m writing a monograf on the superduper Kman’s contribution to the modern study of audioemetics.
    thanx ever……sincerely, a fellow follower of the punk ‘way’.

  15. john b, punk has a way? The way I remember it, punk was mostly about drinking, bashing on a guitar and puking on the audience.
    Not that any of that is bad, o’course… ~:D

  16. The Decemberists? Never heard of them. Probably your typical boring and snobby indie band.
    And Rolling Stone? That lousy mag is only good for toilet paper.

  17. Haffee, I don’t blame you for not having heard of them, and I fear they may be exactly as you describe (and of course they could be wonderful, I’ve never listened to them), but they’re the biggest band to come out of Portland in a long time, they are just hitting the big time, and they’re perfectly capable of drawing 75,000 locals to a free show.
