Ezra Levant Makes Shit Up: The Proof

A month and a bit ago the right wing blogosphere was all in a tizzy about Warren Kinsella being fired by the Canadian Jewish Congress. One of those writers was Ezra Levant:

On Monday, almost exactly one year after he joined it, Warren Kinsella was asked to leave his volunteer position on the legal affairs committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress. It’s not often that volunteers get fired, but it happens.
. . .

Others will note Kinsella’s latest defeat with glee. And part of me is glad to see someone who tries so hard to bully and blackball others, have his own stratagems backfire on him. But, to be very frank, I’m not that gleeful – I actually feel sad for him. I’m not saying that condescendingly – it really is sad to see a man with so much energy and talent get so consumed with personal vendettas and petty squabbles that it starts to cost him in his professional and public life.

I’m not going soft on Kinsella – his lawsuit against me is absurd, and if taken at face value, he means to bankrupt me. He’s a bully, and a fountain of foul-mouthed defamation in his own right. But there comes a point when someone – even someone who swears he’ll destroy you – is so self-destructive, and so blind to that self-destruction, that you feel a pang of sorrow for them.
. . .
But underneath his bluff and bravado is a real man with – though he might deny it – real feelings. I know he must be embarrassed and angry today at his ouster, just as he was a year ago. And though I won’t do it, I feel a strange urge to send him a note of consolation again. . . . I hope Kinsella loses his nuisance suits. But where I thought I might feel schadenfreude, I feel sorrow. The news of his termination today doesn’t give me any joy. There is none in this public spectacle as he tumbles down, a flailing ball of anger and impotence.

No. No gloating at all.

There's only one rather significant problem with Levant's descent into schadenfreudic bliss.

He's lying.

Public statements suggesting that you were "fired" from the CJC are simply incorrect.

In any event, we look forward to having you rejoin our organization at a time that is mutually beneficial.

Mr. Levant, would you like to respond?

UPDATE 1: And out of the woodwork come the Kinsella haters. You boys and girls need to include a little more originality in your insults.

And in answer to jaycurrie, no. We get our information from little birdies.

UPDATE 2: You know what? What the hell. We'll post the comments currently being moderated and we'll deal with some of them later on in a follow up to this article (we did ask Mr. Levant if he'd like to comment and it wouldn't be sporting of us if we kept his comment moderated). Besides, they do tend to indicate the vitriolic and irrational hatred some of these folks have for Mr. Kinsella which says something about their state of mind.

And jaycurrie, the information that was redacted were addresses and email. We didn't think Mr. Kinsella would want that information out there for every crazy with a laptop to read.
