The splendidly named blog, Nexus of Assholery, is fuming.
But before we get to that, a small factual matter. S/He refers to us (without a linky-link, very rude that) and questions our veracity.
Birth Pangs' blogger Fern Hill insists that the links were later removed from the site (something which actually is in the realm of possibility, but hard to accept without proof that they existed in the first place).
Here is the relevant quote from the Communist Broadcasting Corporation (note: this is a news story, not a column by the Devil Incarnate, aka Heather Mallick):
This week, the centre pulled some controversial links about abortion and birth control from its website after articles such as one by CBC.ca columnist Heather Mallick, who reported the links included a story comparing corporations that make birth control drugs to the Jewish Holocaust and a story by an anonymous author with the headline: "One baby in 30 left alive after medical abortion."
In Heather's original article, she talks about going through the missing links with Senators Foundation president Dave Ready, who we suppose might have been suffering some kind of hallucination-à-deux with Heather, but we kind of doubt it.
OK, back to the fuming. It's confused but basically s/he seems to be pissed that a) Heather Mallick exists and b) our little information campaign was successful.
S/He insists:
As their method of squeezing such organizations out of existence, Mallick and likeminded activists have targeted their sources of funding -- in this case, donations from private organizations.
Um. No. We didn't.
We helped inform the unwitting actual donors -- the faithful Sens fans who were being asked to pony up -- what they were being asked to support, a little matter the Ottawa Senators' wives and girlfriends neglected.
We feminazis didn't deny anyone funding. It was the Ottawa Senators' fans -- private individuals -- who denied the anti-choicers their hard-earned dough.
And isn't that what the Conservatards want -- individuals deciding where their hard-dough goes?
Sheesh.
