He’s baaaaack

Posted by mesablue on October 14, 2007

In Moonbat child abuse I posted about whacko vegan moonbat Dave Warwak who got fired for preaching veganism in his art class. He responded in the comment section with a copy of his appeal. Interesting read — if you can understand “crazy speak”.

Well, Davey boy couldn’t leave well enough alone. He decided to show up at a local parade — with predictable results.

Dave Warwak received a strong warning today from his hometown police, during the town’s annual homecoming parade.


Accompanied by his dog, Warwak allegedly entered the town’s parade and passed out small cards to children.


Police stopped Warwak, escorted him home and instructed him to “stay away from the town’s children”.


The warning came in response to parent and teacher complaints who were in attendance.


At particular issue with police was Warwak telling children, Santa Claus is not real.


The card’s front reads:
Remember the Santa Claus lie?
One lie is so bad, some people prefer to keep it hidden.
So hidden, some never find out!
Do you want to live a lie?


The back reads:
Go to your favorite search engine.
Look-up “Factory Farming” Look-up “Vegan”
“Naming a rock, a banana, does not make it food”


A teacher of ten years in Illinois, Warwak was recently fired for his vegan views. Warwak filed an appeal in response to his termination. No date has been set.

Where did I get this info? From the nutjob himself. Davey seems to think that he is the victim here and is looking for support for his “mission”.

Sorry, fuck face.

You are nuts. Go eat your vegetables and leave the kids alone or you will end up in jail. Or worse.

Update with even more crazy:

Found on a vegan message board:

On a trip to Wal-Mart, Dave found some treats called “Marshmallow Peeps” — yellow candy shaped like baby chicks. He bought peeps for many students and for the entire faculty and asked that each person personalize the peeps and keep the peeps safe and sound for three days before returning the peeps to Dave. Principal Mahaffy even drew a balloon in which his peep pointed to the Principal and said “he’s the greatest.” Many of the children became attached to the peeps and only reluctanly gave them back to Dave on the 4th day. Dave then took the personalized peeps and put them in a mural in the school’s hallway. On the first day, Dave took a few peeps and put their heads on plaques painted on the walls as if they were hunters’ trophies. The next day, he put a few peeps in cages as if they were in a zoo. On the third day, he put a few peeps between slices of bread. Now, the point of the Peeps became clear: Animals, like the Peeps, may taste good but humans should care for them, not eat, jail, and kill (and run lab tests on) them. To underscore his point, Dave painted pictures of Einstein, da Vinci, and other famous vegetarians on the mural with quotations from each of them lauding the practice of vegetarianism and condemning meat-eating. He invited his students to join him on painting the mural and replaced all
the signs with “school rules” in his classroom with signs saying “YES” all over the classroom.

Just your average everyday school art project.

Nutbag.

Death science

Passing On: What It’s Like To Die

Most of us have probably wondered what it is like to die – so scientists have tackled the issue head-on and revealed the macabre yet fascinating truth.


New Scientist magazine has pondered the subject in great depth in its latest issue, discussing the various ways of meeting one’s end, from being burned alive to drowning and decapitation.


Drowning:


Victims first panic and try to hold their breath, typically for 30 to 90 seconds. Survivors have reported a “tearing and burning” sensation as water enters the lungs – but it is quickly followed by a feeling of calmness and tranquility. Oxygen deprivation results in loss of consciousness, the heart stopping and brain death.

Free speech according to the L.A. Times

Posted by mesablue on October 14, 2007

Not so free, after all.

L.A. Times Censors Blogger — Then Censors His View on Censorship — Patterico’s Pontifications.

On Thursday night, L.A. Times political blogger Andrew Malcolm wrote a post about John Edwards’s denial of an extramarital affair. When some commenters complained that the story was unsupported tabloid trash, Malcolm replied in parenthetical remarks appended to the comments, saying that it was a legitimate topic because of Edwards’s denial. If the L.A. Times were to avoid discussing it, he said, that would be “censoring” a legitimate story.

How did the L.A. Times react?

Shortly thereafter, the L.A. Times censored the post.


I wrote a post about the L.A. Times post on Thursday night. One of my readers reported at 5:05 p.m. PDT on Friday that the post had been taken down. (Since Daylight Savings my timestamps have been one hour earlier than Pacific time.) There was no explanation — or even an acknowledgment that the post had been removed. Last night (Saturday) I decided to check to see whether the post was still down. It was — over 30 hours after my commenters had reported it had been taken down.

Problem though, many people had seen the original post. Patterico sent an email to the blog author.

At 11:40 p.m. I sent an e-mail to Andrew Malcolm, the blogger whose post had been removed, asking him what had happened.


Although the post had been down for more than 30 hours, a shorter version of the post appeared within nine minutes of my e-mail to Malcolm. The re-emergence of the post was reported by commenter Itsme at 11:49 p.m. PDT. The post was shorter now, and contained this explanatory note:


(This item was originally posted Thursday evening, Oct. 11. It was removed by an editor Friday but was reposted Saturday in a shortened form.)


What was different? Not much. They simply chopped off three paragraphs at the end of the post, which had set forth details from the National Enquirer story.

Another problem, there were already comments in the original post thread. One that the blog author had responded to.

What to do?

Malcolm’s comment about not “censoring” Edwards’s denial is gone, without any hint it was ever there.


In other words, they censored Malcolm’s opinion that it would be censorship to do what they did.


Irony just doesn’t get any more ironic.

Liberals — keepers of the gate of free speech.
