The Interminable Ballad of Warren Kinsella
Kevin Grace makes his case against Warren Kinsella, whom he justifiably calls "one of the most contemptible figures in Canadian public life," and the results are frighteningly entertaining. Mr Grace has many personal grievances with Mr Kinsella, and I have none. I just think Kinsella's insufferable. This is someone who seems to spend a significant portion of his life filing trivial lawsuits and levelling puffed up allegations at inconsequential people both online and off, all the while presenting himself as the most principled man in the universe. There doesn't seem to be anything or anyone he won't use to leverage the making of his own exploded myth of himself.
To the extent Kevin Grace's legal complaints have merit — judge for yourself — I hope he wins what's coming to him. I'd say that for anyone, Kinsella included. But I avidly, exuberantly and unconditionally support The Ambler in his efforts to bring Kinsella down a peg. Or fifty.

I really enjoyed Kinsella's recent anonymous smear job on Cheri DiNovo best of all. I may not agree with her on a lot of things, but at least I didn't twist her words around far enough to make most Liberal voters too disgusted with their party to show up.

Coming from a guy who equates all of Islam with terrorism...I suppose I shouldn't be (mildly) surprised that his muse is a bigot. Ta.

Warren Kinsella - freedom fighter.
What a joke.

No fair. According to the liar Kinsella I am the self confessed bigot (irony apparently does not penetrate his thin skin) so I want to be the muse.
You might want to mention your recent conversion to the "anti-Islam all the time" meme to Right Girl who will, no doubt, be surprised and grateful.

Warren, I really don't think what you said to Chris is accurate. He is, after all, calling RightGrrl for what she is. See here.

you knew it wouldn't take long for a kinsella drive-by smear to appear. has he served you with legal papers yet, chris?

Yeah, Chris. Stop equating all Islam with terrorism...oh wait, that's right, you have been arguing just the opposite, with passion and clarity. Guess you just made Mr. Kinsella's ever-growing smear list. Hope he doesn't serve you with legal papers.

The problemn is that the liar Kinsella is also entirely incapable of, er, reading.

I think he can read. Think, well, that's another matter.

Yeah, but he looks *smashing* in pink tights. Er, uh, so I've been told. -=cough=-
