Richard Warman couldn’t be $cientologist, could he?

The recent attack on the Church of $cientology by Anonymous is because the “Church” exhibits the following:

1. Inability to handle criticism
2. Overblown sense of self-importance
3. Panicky reaction when private information on them is released
4. Frantic attempts to cover up the aforementioned information
5. Fondness for threatening legal action
6. Hypocrisy
7. Love for spouting repetitive, idiotic rhetoric
8. Suppression of free speech or free will

Except for 3 and 4 (we have no idea if he is, in fact, panicked or frantic yet), I think this is also a fit for Richard “What benefit can there be in allowing him to speak?” Warman as well. I mean, numbers 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are spot on. And number 1 would appear to be a given.

Basically the amoral unprincipled snotty little kids from a few decades ago have law degrees and are using axe grinding politics to satiate their pathalogical malevolence

And don’t you dare blame me for it! I never voted for one of them!

Warman, I understand, files about half of all the cases before the Canadian HRCs, and profits from them.

Let me say:

1. With respect to our new Canadian End-User Agreement: Patrick, you are the wind beneath my wings.

2. The saga of what Levant has faced is fascinating and abhorrent. His blog has a lot of materials about the HRCs operating in Canada, which in terms of due process and respect for freedom of conscience resemble the bastard offspring of John Yoo, James Dobson, and a DMV employee. Levant’s defiance of the HRC in the YouTube videos Patrick references are infuriating in their depiction of the HRC’s implacable smugness about being above any childish notions of fairness or freedom.

3. As is the case of many free speech heroes, Levant is kind of a dick. Case in point — after a fatal bus crash, he saw a picture of the driver and leaped to the conclusions that (1) the driver looked like she was wearing a hijab, (2) the hijab must have blocked her vision, causing the crash, and (3) sic semper all societies that cave to the evil Muslim hordes. I’ll cut him a little slack, as some Muslims are trying very hard to use Canada’s embarrassingly backward laws to suppress what any free society would recognize as protected expression. But he’s still kind of a dick.
