Canadian conservative blogosphere under attack

The Canadian conservative blogosphere is under attack --
Leftist litigator uses courts to shut down conservative blogs


The same leftist litigator who attacks Mark Steyn for "Islamaphobism" and Canadian publisher Ezra Levant over the Mohammed cartoons is also targeting other Canadian conservative bloggers with "defamation" legal threats. He is trying to shut down the right-leaning blogosphere up north one blog at a time–and then is suing people who call him a censor.

Statement from Kathy Shaidle, FiveFeetofFury.com :

Canada's busiest litigant, serial "human rights" complainant and — the guy Mark Steyn has called "Canada's most sensitive man" -- Richard Warman is now suing his most vocal critics-- including me.

The suit names:

• Ezra Levant (famous for his stirring YouTube video of his confrontation with the Canadian Human Rights tribunal after he published the "Mohammed Cartoons")
• FreeDominion.ca (Canada's answer to FreeRepublic.com)
• Kate McMillan of SmallDeadAnimals.com
• Jonathan Kay of the National Post daily newspaper and its in-house blog
• and me, Kathy Shaidle of FiveFeetOfFury.com

Richard Warman used to work for the notorious Human Rights Commission, which runs the "kangaroo courts" who've charged Mark Steyn with "flagrant Islamophobia."

Richard Warman has brought almost half these cases single-handledly, getting websites he doesn't like shut down, and making tens of thousands of tax free dollars in "compensation" out of web site owners who can't afford to fight back or don't even realize they can.

The province of British Columbia had to pass a special law to stop Richard Warman from suing libraries because they carried books he didn't approve of.

Richard Warman also wants to ban international websites he doesn't like from being seen by Canadians.

The folks named in his new law suit are the very bloggers who have been most outspoken in their criticism of Warman's methods…

…We can only fight this man's attempt to silence conservative opinion if we have international support: both moral and financial.

This lawsuit will cost me at least $30,000 to fight.

And fight it I will.

Rush Limbaugh Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Landmark Legal Foundation today nominated nationally syndicated radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.

"Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations."
