DAWG PUTS THE BITE ON BIGOTS: according to the Winnipeg Free Press, "Ontario court orders blog-based libel case to trial".
TORONTO - A right-wing political commentator should face trial for referring to a blogger as a Taliban supporter during a heated online exchange, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled Thursday.
The unanimous decision set aside a lower court ruling that dismissed the case against Roger Smith, an active participant in the blogosphere and regular contributor to the conservative website FreeDominion.ca.
Smith was accused of defamation by John Baglow, who operates the left-leaning Dawg's Blawg and brought his case before the Superior Court of Justice last year.

Slander is ugly, so give 'em hell, Dawg, give 'em hell. Nice new site.
