UPDATE: this email just came in from a reader in the London, Ontario area:
I saw your tweet yesterday about talking to the London Free Press, and I hoped you hadn’t spoken to Randy Richmond.
But alas, I saw the morning paper and realized it was true.
If you look up this guy’s articles over the past several years, he has been a cheerleader and buddy of [The Guy Who Is Suing Ezra, me and other bloggers for criticizing the methods of the Human Rights Commissions] for years, consistently smearing free speech advocates and human rights industry victims.
I’m getting cc’d on emails to Bernie Farber and/or the London Free Press. This one is representative:
You have been quoted as attacking Kathy Shaidle of the Five Feet of Fury web site. Please be advised that as an active, involved member of the Canadian Jewish community, I look to “5 Feet…” for support and information regarding real issues that threaten our community. Bloggers such as Shaidle and Levant in Canada, Johnson (LGF) and Malkin in the USA accomplish more in rallying support for Jewish issues than big-budget mainstream, unelected organizations.
Yikes! This one must’ve left a mark:
Read More...I just wanted to address you – the head of the self-proclaimed “voice of the Jewish community” – to let you know that you do not speak for me or, frankly, for any other Jew that I know and that I and many others are growing increasingly sick of your antics. I have long stopped contributing anything to your group and instead proudly direct my time and money to organizations that are actually in line with Jewish values and would rather use their resources to promote Judaism than outmoded leftist politics.
