CHRC Bigoted Comment of the Day: gays are "sexual deviants" who are a "cancer"

Richard Warman is the former Canadian Human Rights Commission "anti-hate" investigator who is also its most frequent complainant under its anti-hate provisions. In any other quasi-judicial commission or tribunal, that would be an unacceptable conflict of interest. Warman started filing his complaints with the CHRC while he still worked there. His co-workers would handle his complaints. Not surprisingly, he hasn't lost a case yet -- and he has been awarded tens of thousands of dollars in tax-free cash for his pain and suffering.

Mark Steyn summed it up well yesterday: Warman voluntarily joins neo-Nazi groups, is a prolific bigot on them, and then collects tens of thousands of dollars for his pain and suffering of having to endure neo-Nazi bigotry. And then he repeats the whole money-making process again, and again -- and he always wins.

(Question: what would happen if Warman sued himself? When I saw a case called Warman v. Warman, I thought that he just might have done so!)

As you can see, it's a typically nasty conversational thread; this one is discussing whether a particular neo-Nazi is white enought to be an Aryan. Warman doesn't think he's white enough. Here's what he says (NS stands for National Socialism, also known as Nazism):

Theres a reason it's called "White" Nationalism and why the founders of NS excluded sexual deviants that are a like a Cancer to our movement...

So gays are a deviant cancer?

Is this gutter the level to which our Canadian Human Rights Commission has fallen?

Is this rats nest of bigotry the organization that the Conservative Justice Minister has so ardently defended in his 50-page legal argument?

Warman uses the phrase "our movement" -- he's telling Stormfront members that he's a white supremacist neo-Nazi, too. He's telling them that they can take it from him, real neo-Nazis don't tolerate anyone who's not purely white. And then he brings up homosexuality, apropos of nothing. He just wants to show what a good bigot he is.

He doesn't just denounce homosexuality; he does so in a vile way. They're a "cancer". This is from Warman, who claims to be a member of EGALE, the gay rights lobby. Then again, Warman purports to support the Canadian Jewish Congress -- they certainly have hitched their wagon to him. That hasn't stopped Warman from posting anti-Semitic comments, either.

Just reading these transcripts makes me feel dirty; what kind of person would spend hundreds of hours surfing bigoted websites, and participating in them, writing hundreds of posts in drag as a neo-Nazi? That's not just politically scandalous for the CHRC, and a clear violation of the CHRC's own section 13 anti-hate law, it's also psychologically weird. What kind of person would do such a thing for work and in then for pleasure -- in his own words, for "fun"?

I'm not interested in being Warman's psychologist -- I have neither the training nor the stomach for that. Sigmund Freud could have written an entire book about a member of EGALE going online as a gay-hating neo-Nazi woman (Pogue Mahone claimed to be female). The mind boggles.

What I'm interested in is legal and political accountability. Warman spewed forth this bigoted venom while at the CHRC, and now that he is employed with the Department of National Defence. I wonder what Warman would do if, in his capacity as a DND "director of special grievances", he discovered that a soldier had been calling gays deviants and a cancer.

Would he drum such a bigot out of the army? Or would he whisper "hey, I'm that girl Pogue Mahone from Stormfront -- nice to meet a fellow gay-bashing white nationalist"?

By the way, this particular Warman post is the one that I read out several times at yesterday's debate. I put it to the CHRC's Ian Fine that this was the character of his former employee, still his current biggest customer/complainer. Not surprisingly, Fine sat in silence.

Fire. Them. All.
