You and your left wing, big brother, "love thy terrorist" friends. She's simply trying to get people to wake the f88k up. <BR/><BR/>Obviously you're a lost cause. Move along then, will you?cousinarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960233849525048631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-39792506689330798712008-11-13T10:14:00.000-05:002008-11-13T10:14:00.000-05:00Yaacov, at the risk of being a complete boor, or a...Yaacov, at the risk of being a complete boor, or as you frequent blogosphere flyers call it, a "troll", I am going to, once again, suggest you examine your associations, if you're sincere about this free speech issue.<BR/><BR/>Go to Kathy Shaidle's website on any given day, and you'll be treated to the writings of a woman who goes out of her way to provoke controversy. Her specialty is poking a large stick into the eye of Islam. <BR/><BR/>The allegations against her have to do with republishing material that may be defamatory of another individual. There may be some difference between speech that is hateful, and speech that is crafted to promote hate.<BR/><BR/>Shaidle's speech is hateful. What she is promoting is Shaidle. Hate is a byproduct. I think there is a huge disconnect happening with regards to this issue. Most Canadians perceive themselves, and rightly, as being free to speak as they choose.<BR/><BR/>The free speech hysteria is, for the most part, something happening in the blogosphere and in conservative print media.johnny maudlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379960303678668045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-60259116692249373552008-11-12T17:03:00.000-05:002008-11-12T17:03:00.000-05:00Ezra Levant's statement given at his interrogation...Ezra Levant's statement given at his interrogation was a masterpiece. It is excellent to see Canadians trying to do something about this now.<BR/><BR/>All the free world is in danger of losing its free speech rights. The Islamic world is first in line to hush us. The "offense" charge must be stopped.Maggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-67083581188924909052008-11-12T17:02:00.000-05:002008-11-12T17:02:00.000-05:00The real danger always happens when unelected offi...The real danger always happens when unelected officials serve for life in any capacity where they don't have to answer to the people. When an official is untouchable the people are in trouble. That is what happened with the Human Rights groups in so many countries. We need to make sure that every authority is accountable to the people.shoprathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265612188236394307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625076107995960519.post-7581086354788010082008-11-12T10:58:00.000-05:002008-11-12T10:58:00.000-05:00Our Labor government here in Australia seems more ...Our Labor government here in Australia seems more interested at present in filtering the net Chinese style, but we have our hate speech legislation too. However Australia apparently hasn't gone the way of Canada and I fully support your position on the abuses of the Canadian human rights commission. Ironically, an American here took our grandfatherly leftie Phillip Adams to task for his incessant anti Americanism with the Aussie human rights commission. As sick and tired of the reflexive anti Americanism of the Australian left as I am I still cheered when they threw the suit out.lgudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774491337993415578noreply@blogger.com
