There was, of course, yesterday's incident involving Canadian feces fetishist Bill Whatcott:
Are The Blogging Tories Promoting Illegal Feces Bombs?
Bounced from the halls of FreeDominion, (Wild) Bill Whatcott has taken his peculiar brand of Conservative Activism to where but The Blogging Tories? Here's how he's protesting Morgentaler's being awarded The Order Of Canada:
I got an image of the Order of Canada, crapped on it, wrapped it up and mailed it to the Governor General to communicate my utter contempt of her office, her arrogance, her anti-Christian/ anti-life bigotry and the now corrupted and irrelevant Order of Canada in general.
To Stephen Taylor's credit, he kicked Bill's sorry ass out of the BT forum:
ugh... Bill Whatcott has been booted from the Blogging Tories forums.
The forums have open registration, so anyone can sign up.
The Blogging Tories do not promote illegal feces bombs of course.
Good riddance.
Which is a proper reaction, but it really does raise a larger and more pertinent question, doesn't it, Stephen, which is -- what is it about the Blogging Tories web site that makes it seem so enticing to hideous whackjobs like Bill Whatcott?
Seriously, Stephen, while you might be personally appalled by Whatcott's behaviour, what is it about the BTs that so clearly suggested to Bill that his crap-related, vindictive attempt at public protest might be welcome at your place? To which I think there is an obvious answer -- because it's precisely where he belongs.
Really, Stephen, can you be even the slightest bit surprised by the far-right, gibbering loons you're attracting these days, given your current stable of drooling, conservative retards? When one notices that you currently host pathological liars, howling racists and complete illiterates like Kate McMillan, "Neo Conservative", "Hunter" and a host of other mind-meltingly ignorant howler monkeys, can you seriously even pretend to feign surprise when dipsticks like Whatcott show up and figure they've found just the place to hang out with fellow travellers?
Come on, Stephen ... countless of us have been beating up on you about this for a long time now, and it's made absolutely no difference. And now, when those damned chickens finally come home to roost, you get all bent out of shape as if you didn't see this coming.
Well, Stephen, all the rest of us saw it coming for quite some time. You've worked to build a rep for the Blogging Tories as the natural home for Canada's right-wing, batshit fucking crazy racists and hatemongers, so you really don't have the moral high ground to get pissed off when tools like Whatcott take you up on your offer, do you?
I'm just sayin'.

Absolutely. The discussion in the thread in question continued for quite a while with the site admin's ('Craig') participation. The worthlessness of the Order of Canada was an evaluation shared by many.
The Blogging Tories are not going to jettison their lunatic base anytime soon because of the (computer-generated) "buzz" factor. However, if the MSM ever bothered to cast an eye on the psychological issues that characterise a lot of "conservative" supporters, Stephen Taylor might start becoming aware of the "law of diminishing returns."
I doubt that'll happen. Either the "journalists" believe lunacy provides the necessary counterpoint to sensible commentary and thus its existence establishes necessary balance in public discourse, or, judging from the op-eds in most CanWest papers, a lot of them are loony themselves.
Is there really all that much substantive difference between Bill Whatcott and David Warren?
In relative terms, David Warren is almost coherent.
Wud youse guys quit dumping on Bill & Steve?
You do what you can.
Pooping on the Order of Canada, and mailing your handiwork to the the Queen's surrogate, is what Bill can do.
On the other hand, if guys like Bill keep pooping on it, I'm not going to apply.
By the way, the Her Majesty Queen isn't Canadian either.
Furthermore, the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco wants to switch the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. How is that different from mailing your poop to the Queen's surrogate?
I'm sure it's been said before but the fact that the rightwingosphere is blaming the GG shows how batshit crazy/stupid they are.
It's not like she personally sits down and decides who's getting what--there's a committee.
It's sort of like blaming her for giving royal assent to bills.
