Randolph calls this yellow-belly "a great man." Klemesrud claims this gutless wonder should be given a Presidential pardon (sorry, Tom, Clinton *left* office and the cash register is now closed) and dear little Tory rose to new heights of literacy assaulting Keith's detractors with such pearls as "you slime-balls" and "you could give a rats ass" and the particularly devastating reference to our "total bullwinkleness." (Well done, Tory. I for one am in awe -- if only of your newfound ability to locate the tilde on your keyboard.) Here's the facts, kids: the coward cut and ran. Oh, he was mighty brave when it came to harassing Scientologists on the street, or making implied threats against the lives of Church staff, all in the name of "free speech" - but when it came time to actually put his own butt on the line for his supposed beliefs this "great man" choked. To go to jail for your beliefs requires integrity. It requires courage. Martin Luther King had it. So did little Rosa Parks. But Keith Henson? He's sitting on Hagglund's couch right now guzzling Molson Golden and stuffing his face with Cheesie Puffs. Yeah, that's "a great man" alright. And for those of you who are comforting yourselves with the delusion that Keith running was somehow morally or politically motivated, think again. Keith ran for one reason only: He's a child molester. And he knows what happens to child molesters in prison. Yeah, Keith's having a good time in Toronto tonight. He's laughing his ass off -- at you. Because you have been dense enough to defend him and provide him with a "platform" under which he can at least argue his 30 second case for "political asylum"; because Bob was stupid enough to participate in a conspiracy to aid and abet that could very well land *him* in jail; and because Keith is naïve enough to think that the Canadian government will welcome a convicted criminal under a U.S. national arrest warrant with open arms. Wake up, folks. The RCMP stopped doffing their Stetsons for little old ladies a long time ago. They're going to kick his butt all the way back to Riverside. As for the rest of you sad suckers - well, sorry folks but your "great man" is in fact a con man. Or, in Tory-speak, he's a slime-ball who couldn't give a rats ass and is busy shining his empty platitudes up your total bullwinkleness. ~ G.S. (BTW, Gregg, thanks for supplying the RCMP with Keith's address and phone number. I'm sure they'll be in touch.)
