There’s been a lot of blogging and blogpieces done today on Kate’s latest loathsome blogpost at Small Dead Animals and whether it warrants Stephen Taylor removing or suspending her as a Blogging Tory affiliate from his group.
A few thoughts:
First, I liked Jeff’s blogpiece best of all the ones I read, since it shows how Kate and Kate’s Cult are being hypocrites on defending what she wrote, when she and they were decrying similar (but a lot more tame) stuff a couple of years ago (one word of advice to Jeff: I’d advise getting a screenshot of the link that you quoted from there. Incriminating or embarrassing blogposts tend to get modified or disappear completely over there if they cause SDA too much heat).
Secondly, I think more then a few of us would agree with Warren and be not too unhappy if Stephen would keep her on. I’ve had at least 1 blogger privately share the same sentiment - it will be good cannon fodder.
Lastly, I’m less concerned about whether she and her blog gets removed from the Blogging Tories and more interested to see if the National Post will decide she’s too radioactive to accept any more columns from. If not, I can see an organized writing campaign getting started to the NP. We’ll see if even Kate’s stuff is too radioactive for their apparent “anything goes because it’s free speech” stance.
My favourite Kate moment was the time I dug up her "spear chuckers" rant and how mad she was that a reporter used that term. Then when the term came to light thanks to Stockwell Day — she had nothing to say.
Oh Kate and her Kult.
