I hadn't read Warren's screech all that closely (he nauseates me and he's dull) but that statement "On Sunday afternoon, there was a discussion on McClelland's Web site headlined: "When the State starts rounding up my Jewish neighbours, I'll speak up." is factually dead wrong. It's obvious Warren didn't even bother reading the post or the comments, because that quote was my comment in the now-infamous thread, and I only meant it to mean that that I'm going to tolerate discussion up to a point until people's civil rights are violated, which is what I objected to so strongly in Robert's comment. Warren Kinsella is a hack. Dishonest, lazy hack. I'd write <i>The Post</i> and demand a retraction, but I dont' want a retraction.
