DATE OF THE ALLEGED CONDUCT:

February 15, 2009 and ongoing on the websites http://www.fivefeetoffury.com and http://relapsedcatholic.blogspot.com

The following are examples of material in violation of Section 13 of the CHRA

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2008-07-01-0015/

On Islam: "...your religion is fucking retarded...ungrateful beligerent foreign savages...These are people who love watching beheading videos on the internet...A sick, sick religion. Basically Scientology with bombs. Pathetic whiny losers."

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2008-07-15-0001/

On Muslim and Pakistani immigrants: "Muslims...most of them can't even read...What we really need to do is stop immigration from Pakistan and other crazy Muslim countries filled with illiterate, violent tribal peasants..."

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2008-02-13-0015/

On Muslim children: they are “parasites.”

http://shaidle.blogmatrix.com/:entry:shaidle-2007-09-02-0012/

http://shaidle.blogmatrix.com/:entry:shaidle-2007-01-19-0005/

On blacks: “…there is nothing ‘compelling’ about a black man impregnating a white woman. In more than one Toronto neighbourhood, that's what they call Saturday night.”

http://drdawgsblawg.blogspot.com/2007/07/but-we-musnt-call-it-racism.html

On Jamaicans: “Just think of how much Jamaican immigrants contribute to our culture and economy: monotonous, illiterate music that all sounds the same, filthy hairstyles, those little tricoloured Rasta doohickies.”

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2007-12-20-0024/

On the blacks of New Orleans: they are “pathetic losers” who cannot have their IQs raised “a single point.”

http://relapsedcatholic.blogspot.com/2005/12/canadian-aids-activists-want-bawdy.html

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2008-04-03-0013/

http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2008-03-27-0006/

On blind people: "Giving blind people real jobs...is not working out."

On Chinese: "[They are] spitting and shooting snot on the sidewalk...throwing broken crates of rotten bock choy all over Spadina Avenue [and] eating dubious, illegal foodstuffs" [and cause SARS.]

COMPLAINT:

Based on the foregoing examples, I believe that Kathy Shaidle is discriminating against persons or groups of persons on the basis of Race, colour, sexual orientation and national or ethnic origin by repeatedly communicating or causing to be communicated, messages through the internet that would likely expose Muslims, Pakistanis, Islam, Indians, Blacks, Jamaicans, Sikhs, Blind and Chinese to hatred and/or contempt, contrary to section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Your Money At Work - Racist Shaidle to appear

Five Feet of Far Right is on TVOs "The Agenda" this evening, because presumably they couldn't find someone non-crazy to duscuss "atheist bus posters". Kinsella amply illustrates why Ms. Shaidle's blithering isn't fit for a men's room wall, let alone a television show funded by Ontario tax-payers. I might also add that Shaidle has been published a couple of times in Vdare, a U.S. based "extremist anti-immigration Web site" (according to the NY Times).

Hopefully, WK will post contact information re the minister responsible for TVO. Meanwhile, it seems that "The Agenda" itself may be contactable through its blogs here. If don't to see your hard earned dough funding Hate Lit, or if alternatively the idea of denying the fat chick money appeals to you, you might want to drop Mr. Paiken a line.

Update: From wiki:

TVO is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and supported by a network of Regional Councillors from across the province. TVO also reports to the Ontario legislature through the Minister of Education, in accordance with the Ontario Educational Communications Authority Act.

The Minister of Education is Kathleen Wynne, one of my faves, and she can be reached at:

Phone: (416) 425-6777
Fax: (416) 425-0350
kwynne.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org

Updater: That's Kathleen local office. Her ministry office number is (16) 325-2600.

Whose Cleaning Up Racist Shaidle's Wiki Page?

Somebody is removing all the "controversial" bits on the grounds that they contain "illegal copyright violations". For instance, she refers to Islam as "fucking retarded"; and then she doesn't.

Lets just get clear about this. A big issue yesterday with TVO was the poor vetting of guests. How would they allow anyone like Shaidle on a respectable, government funded station? Well, by playing around with her wiki entry, someone is making it harder for, oh I don't know a tv or radio show producer, to uncover her let us just call it "colourful" past as a blogger.

Someone therefore sees the appearance of such comments as being not career enhancing. And they realized this sometime yesterday afternoon.

PS. Am I not famous enough to have a wiki entry? What does it freakin' take anyway?

PPS. I've made a couple of screenshots, although I think wiki is is pretty good about maintaining a history of entries. Anyone else wants to take a few more, feel free.

PPPS. Shaidle does apparently have an "agent", so the changes aren't necessarily the work of a sock-puppet. But that might be demonstrable one way or another.

h/t ARC.

The Racist SHAIDLE ON TVO





TVO DEIGNS TO RESPOND PUBLICLY TO SHAIDLE MESS

Here.

But it's not much of a response. It's kind of useless, in fact, because Steve told me personally that "frankly, Warren, I haven't spent any time on this yet today...I haven't put mind to it yet at all." So if Steve wasn't in on this decision, who was?

In this non-response, TVO just mainly post what I have written. And if you're here, you already know what I think. What, if anything, was TVO thinking?

Specifically, what remains unanswered is why TVO was so dumb - so monumentally insensitive - as to give a platform to someone who writes things like what I've re-posted below.

What's your answer to that, TVO?

· On Islam: "...your religion is fucking retarded...ungrateful beligerent foreign savages...These are people who love watching beheading videos on the internet...A sick, sick religion. Basically Scientology with bombs. Pathetic whiny losers."
· On Muslim and Pakistani immigrants: "Muslims...most of them can't even read...What we really need to do is stop immigration from Pakistan and other crazy Muslim countries filled with illiterate, violent tribal peasants..."
· On Muslim children: they are “parasites.”
· On a group of Muslim students who object to some statements by Mark Steyn: they are “motherfucking parasites.”
· On Muslims: "Muslims always have to be on top, in reverse proportion to their ability to do anything with competence or creativity."
· On Indians: they are “parasites” who “extorted tax dollars [for] booze, smokes and junk food. Not to mention free everything else, including university educations they don't bother getting.”
· On blacks: “…there is nothing ‘compelling’ about a black man impregnating a white woman. In more than one Toronto neighbourhood, that's what they call Saturday night.”
· On the only people who can get excited about Barack Obama: “black, stupid or both.”
· On Jamaicans: “Just think of how much Jamaican immigrants contribute to our culture and economy: monotonous, illiterate music that all sounds the same, filthy hairstyles, those little tricoloured Rasta doohickies.”
· On the blacks of New Orleans: they are “pathetic losers” who cannot have their IQs raised “a single point.”
· On the poor: they are poor because they are “too lazy and stupid to a) finish high school and/or b) keep their pants on.…I don’t care about the poor. They’re no more real than Bigfoot.”
· On AIDS: “From the beginning, AIDS activism has been more about mainstreaming the gay "lifestyle" than saving lives.”
· On Sikhs: "Backward foreigners [who] shit on hand that feeds them...Unable to invent their own iconic product due to too much time spent worshipping monkeys and cows, setting women on fire and obsessing over imperceptible differences in each other's skin colour..."
· On blind people: "Giving blind people real jobs...is not working out."
· On Chinese: "[They are] spitting and shooting snot on the sidewalk...throwing broken crates of rotten bock choy all over Spadina Avenue [and] eating dubious, illegal foodstuffs" [and cause SARS.]

Racist Shaidle on TVO

Now were not exactly a big player in the Canadian blogosphere and have yet to engage in any significant war of words with the right-wing Canadian blogs that exist, but we are familiar with Kathy Shaidle and what passes as political discourse on her blog. We'll let our readers determine whether or not she's racist based on her own writing:
  • On Islam: "...your religion is fucking retarded...ungrateful beligerent foreign savages...These are people who love watching beheading videos on the internet...A sick, sick religion. Basically Scientology with bombs. Pathetic whiny losers."
  • On Muslim and Pakistani immigrants: "Muslims...most of them can't even read...What we really need to do is stop immigration from Pakistan and other crazy Muslim countries filled with illiterate, violent tribal peasants..."
  • On Muslim children: they are “parasites.”
  • On a group of Muslim students who object to some statements by Mark Steyn: they are “motherfucking parasites.”
  • On Muslims: "Muslims always have to be on top, in reverse proportion to their ability to do anything with competence or creativity."
  • On Indians: they are “parasites” who “extorted tax dollars [for] booze, smokes and junk food. Not to mention free everything else, including university educations they don't bother getting.”

Ack! Sorry. We shouldn't have pointed that at our readers. Very insensitive of us and we should apologize.

Anyways, why are we talking about this particular vile example of the human species (though looking at the picture, she looks more like an angry turtle than a person)? Because a publicly funded TV Ontario has decided to give her a platform this evening for her to present her views.

Other progresive blogs have already commented on this so we're coming to the story very late, but we would still like to do our part. We would urge our readers to contact TVO and voice your concerns about allowing this woman a platform for hatred using taxpayer dollars. TVO has already issued a statement in response to the criticism stating that she's going to remain as a guest so perhaps that point is now moot, so I'll quote Warren Kinsella:

BCL has just heard from the show's producer that they're bringing her on, notwithstanding the expressions of anger and protest. Those interested in further protest can contact TVO here, and state - as I will - that future campaigns for public funding, in any context, will be vigorously opposed.

In other words, don't give them a nickel. "Free speech" isn't interchangable with "suspending one's critical faculties." Except at TVO, apparently.

Racist Shaidle wants to be cancelled from TVO




Below, Shaidle's posting at "Small Dead Animals" a few minutes ago. And, here, on her own web site.

But TVO still plans to have her on?


Why? This is turning into farce, TVO. Lots of taxpayers don't want our tax dollars used in this way; she doesn't want the platform you insist on giving her.

Why is this even a discussion?

Shaidle:


"Countless Chinese people in Toronto DO hoark on the sidewalk -- which is a known spreader of disease.

They DO leave broken crates of bok choy on Spadina

And they DO eat what are, in my humble opinion, dubious, possibly illegal foodstuffs.

Ever eaten street food in Beijing? Ever left your house, let alone the country?

Try harder.

The truth is often unpleasant.

Frankly, I wish TVO WOULD cancel me tonight. I'd rather stay home and watch Falling Down again.
