And yet, Mr. Rivers, if one were to complain to the Law Society about Richard Warman, one would find them unequivocally on his side. And the same would be true for every one of these little sock puppets.

If you’re trying to say that you’re not like this, and there are other decent lawyers like you, well, you’re at least half right, and I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt as to your half. But please don’t give us this shit about “they’re not representative”. They are entirely representative of the mainstream of the legal profession.

Yes, Stephen, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Gawd, how do you manage to get your pants on in the morning?

McClelland is now turning Islamaphobic.

‘Hogwash, Jay. If you were a Muslim you’d be a suicide bomber. You have the zealous mentality for it.’

He is suggesting that Muslims’s are suicide bombers, !

“very afraid of lawyers and their special interest groups and private clubs called law societies.”

Yeah, look out, LS, I’m comin’ to get you!
Grow up. I’m a lawyer, belng to the Law Society of Upper Canada, and if you complained about me they’d be on your side. I’d be the one answering the hard questions.
This trio is not typical of the legal profession; they are an embarassment. BTW, you are aware Ezra Levant is a lawyer?

It would have been better if Steyn forced then to stop their 3 major lies and 1 major misconception:

1) Islamism is NOT a faith/people

2) That disagreeing with the tenets of “Islamism” ( a political/legal philosopy is not “racism” it is fair political commentary on a theocratic political orthodoxy

3) according to facts, history and the words and actions of “Islamists” and their leaders “islamophobia” is well founded.

Misconception: these kids just don’t “get” the concept that every personal complaint and difference of opinion deserves government intervention….maybe in a theocracy, but not in a liberal democracy.

That was AWESOME. Steyn actually forced a debate — and Paikin, to his credit, went along with it, while the Sock Puppets grew increasingly rattled and petulant.

The show airs again tonight at 11 PM. I may just watch it again, this time with a bowl of popcorn.

TVO and Steyn did well.

Sockpuppets less well and demonstrated why we should be very, very afraid of lawyers and their special interest groups and private clubs called law societies.

They appear not to have history nor sociology as an elective!

LOL if they think that debating Mr. Steyn is something to cower from then they better grow a spine and get preparded for the scorn that shall be heaped on the real complainants (Elmasry and Habib) and their supporters come tribunal time. Did they really think we’d fall for their miss information (they filed complaints) or we’d believe their continuous back pedaling?

Liars liar’s pants on fire is the song I’m humming at the moment, they’ve done irreversable harm to Muslim versus Non-Muslims relationships in Canada perhaps that was their real GOAL?

If I were a Muslim I’d be ashamed.

Hogwash, Jay. If you were a Muslim you’d be a suicide bomber. You have the zealous mentality for it.
