Of Bigots and Mouthpieces
Posted on May 30, 2005 under Blogging
Has everyone around here gone lawsuit crazy? What are we, a bunch of little girls or grown adults? I refer to an email sent to new Blogging Tories member Right in Canada over a post she did concerning Mindless in Ottawa. If you recall, Mindless wrote a post advocating the expulsion of Born Again Christians from the Conervative Party. It’s interesting to note that he has since edited his original post. Right after…
Criticizing BCs is no fun.
…is this bit of crap which appeared in the original post but has since been edited out.
It’s a bit like shooting bunny rabbits. They get that puffy look in their eyes, and they wail like a new born baby.
As well, a part of the final paragraph has also been edited. Here is the original version,
Nonetheless, I am convinced the only way we can renew the CPC, and by extension save Canadian democracy, is to start blasting away.
Considering that the Mindless Mouthpiece has a little “free speech on the internet” banner on his blog, disgusting remarks like that are not surprising. The comments may be repugnant but it is certainly his right to speak them, I do not dispute that. We all have the right to make assclowns of ourselves. But it seems that “free speech on the internet” is not a 2-way street as far as Mindless Mouthpiece is concerned. Here is an excerpt of the post from Right in Canada who took exception to Mindless Mouthpiece’s disgusting attack on Born Again Christians.
What a bigot. Can you imagine the outrage and outcry, (and rightly so), if his blog post was about any other religious or ethnic group?
Here is the reply of Mindless Mouthpiece to that observation.
Hi There:
This is just a friendly note to let you know I noticed your comments calling me a Bigot on your website today, May 30, 2005.
I consider these comments extremely defamatory and I will be contacting my legal council tomorrow. If you wish to discuss this matter today, please contact me at 613-***-****.

Wow, so much for free speech on the internet. Besides, how else would one refer to someone who uses the analogy of blasting away at bunny rabbits to explain why the CPC should purge itself of BCs? This is not the first time that Mindless Mouthpiece has found himself in hot water either. He’s been attacking the CPC and it’s members for over a week now. My question is, if you dislike the Conservative Party so much why the hell are you a part of the Blogging Tories? Warren Kinsella was right when he talked about trouble makers within the CPC, but those trouble makers are not Christians or Born Again Christians. The trouble makers are the people who continuously attack other segments of our great party because of their own narrow-minded and yes bigotted views! Don’t like being called a bigot? Tough shit. If the shoe fits…
PS: Don’t even waste your time or mine sending me an email threatening to sue me as I will laugh in your face.
