We Throw Pies, Too

The Hoax.

What I think about it:

Is it beyond the pale? No, not really. It's hardly any different from a conservative or some other leftie villain getting pied. It signifies nothing and I would bet has only further re-enforced a portion of the right's appraisal of him. Mr. Kinsella will not lose any friends over it and we 'speechy-nistas' will benefit nothing. Nothing.

I'm a supporter of FreeDominion.ca,Ezra Levant, Maclean's / Steyn and stridently opposed to Warren Kinsella and The CJC (in what I believe is a gross over-extension of any religous authority's purview). But I fail to see the advantage to be gained here (except to heighten the noteriety of the hoaxer) for conservatives but more importantly, free speech in Canada.

Warren Kinsella, is an incidental player, a good humored one at that. He is no different from any of us who post our opinions on the blog-o-sphere. If and when Levant and company meet their executioner, it won't be Warren's face under the hood. Pie throwing will avail them, not.

I wonder though, doesn't that arm marked by the fake holocaust number look a little tight to be 60+ years old? Makes me wonder who is getting "got" here?
