Who will protect the freedom to blog?

 From lovely & tenacious Michelle Malkin:

"My syndicated column today covers the crucial battle between truth-telling bloggers versus convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin and his band of malicious online thugs. In honor of the National Day of Blogger Silence called by Ace of Spades, this blog is going dark. But far from shutting up, I’ll be spending the day calling, e-mailing, and tweeting members of Congress, GOP leaders, journalists, and influencers to ask them what they are doing to defend the First Amendment rights of bloggers. This is a day of action, not inaction."

When parasites sue bloggers

Ottawa lawyer, Richard Warman, has filed lawsuits against four leading conservative bloggers in Canada and one website. The list of defendants includes Ezra Levant, Jonathan Kay/National Post, Kate McMillan/Small Dead Animals, Kathy Shaidle/Five Feet of Fury, and Free Dominion.

So what's it about? In official jargon, the parasite lawyer is seeking damages for defamation & libel. From the street, it looks like the parasite lawyer doesn't like being spot lighted for throwing mud, causing grief, abusing the courts for personal vendettas, and generally being a d1ck.

MM simply calls warman a 'sharia-promoting tool', and has some good links for those who want to kick in some funds to fight this type of persecution - 'cause judging from the wind - it's blowing this direction.
