Carl DeLong, $1.6 million. Kimberlin was released from jail in 2001, but has yet to pay up. Investigative journalist/


researcher Mandy Nagy, who blogs for the late Andrew Breitbart’s Inter- net media powerhouse, Breitbart.com, dared to chronicle Kimberlin’s lu- crative business and po- litical ventures over the past two years. Kimberlin has a large hand in two well-funded outfits, Vel- vet Revolution and the Justice Through Music Project, that have received funding from the likes of George Soros’ Tides Foundation and left-wing activist and singer Barbra Streisand. The charita- ble groups have vicious- ly attacked prominent conservative individuals and groups, including Breitbart, investigative journalist James O’Keefe and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Nagy has been hounded relentlessly on- line and falsely accused of wild criminal conspiracies by Kimberlin associates for blowing the whistle on his shady online net- work. After providing brief pro


bono legal services to a liberal blogger who re- fused to whitewash Kim-


berlin’s past, conservative blogger and lawyer Aaron Walker lost his job. His employer was terrified by the thought of Kimberlin bombing his office and also fired Walker’s wife, who had worked for the same firm. Walker is embroiled in Kafkaesque, free speech- squelching litigation with serial lawsuit-filer Kim- berlin in Maryland. Last week, an inept judge who admitted abject ignorance about the Internet — and appalling apathy toward key free-speech Supreme Court cases — essentially gagged Walker from exer- cising his First Amend- ment rights and blogging about Kimberlin. Kimber- lin pulled off a snow job in court, bizarrely claim- ing that an independent online effort to support Walker and expose Kim- berlin’s past amounted to a criminal terror cam- paign against him. Re- nowned constitutional law professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA is providing pro bono help to appeal the order against Walker. National Bloggers Club

now investigating. Another conservative blogger who had the audacity to report on Walker’s plight, Robert Stacy McCain, was forced to move out of his home last month after Kim- berlin phoned his wife’s employer and intimidated his family. Never in the eight years


that I have worked as an independent blogger have I seen such a concerted threat to the fundamental right of citizen journal- ists to speak their minds freely and without fear of bodily harm. As former Justice Department of- ficial J. Christian Adams points out, it is a federal violation of Title 18 U.S.C. Section 241 to conspire to deprive someone of his “free exercise or enjoy- ment of any right or privi- lege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” Members of Congress swore an oath to uphold the Constitution — all of it. Who means it?
