Freedom of speech is a fundamental freedom. Without it, you’ve got nothing but totalitarianism.
Wow. Mr. Steyn? If you need a place to live, I can give you my spare room, rent-free for as long as you need it.
I mean, how hard could it possibly BE to sneak into America across our porous borders? ;)
Which is so much total B.S. from the third-world morons who pretend to be Canadian officialdom.
I think they are confusing our total disgust with them and their totalitarian attitudes with some very limited idea of hate.
It's almost like Canadians think a raised voice is hateful, or that a cry for help is embarrassing.
I really want to scream at them "Death to the Islamofascist Imperialists and their Running Dog Lackeys" but they might not understand what I'm saying, nosane?
Anyone know where we can get a Canadian interpreter?
Our press will join with the Democrats in attacking “hate speech” and will gleefully conspire to put an end to conservative talk radio, Fox News, and the conservative press. Hate speech, of course, can only be practiced by the Right. The left is incapable of such crimes. If you want proof, just go to Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.
....they’re surprised it’s not being mentioned in the United States? Why? The American media is packed with libs - the libs are suing a conservative.
Not only is this not going to be mentioned, they’re going to try to do it here when they get a sympathic Congress and President. Our courts and agencies are already in the process of doing this.
You people in Canada are screwed. You gave your freedom Libs. Now eat the weeds you’ve sown.
I’ll try to act surprised when they find him guilty of “hate” crimes....
Well, I was planning a trip to BC next month.
Not any more.
Does that mean I can not hate:
Hitler
Mao
Stalin
Pol-Pot
Robert Mugabe
Zakawori (the nice man that sawed off Nick Bergs head)
Tojo (the kind soldier that gave us Pearl Harbor
The plane hijackers of 9-11 that killed 3000 of my countrymen
Karl Marx (his philosophy caused the deaths of over 100 million people.
Who can I hate? Ray Rebstock kicked my butt over 40 years ago. He is an angry white male. I suppose it is okay to hate Ray, but I do not. I deserved that butt kicking>
I have never had any such delusions about Canada. After WWII the country ceased to be a ‘Friend’ to the United States and became an ‘Antagonist’ nation. The next status to achieve is ‘Enemy’ and I fear it is closer than anyone can imagine. Oh Canada!
Scary. The same thing basically happened with the movie Fitna. All that was in Fitna was film footage of acts commited by muslims, with words spoken by muslims, with verses written by muslims. There was no commentary, just the images and words of muslims. It was touted as the ultimate in hate speach.
This is definitely not allowed, except maybe for Hitler who killed the Jews when it was not fashionable to kill the Jews. Now, of course, this is perfectly acceptable, but Hitler's timing was not good. As for the rest, if you speak out against them, you are committing a hate crime and must be sent to a reeducation camp. There you will learn to hate:
Liberty
Freedom
Self Reliance
Achievement
Responsibility
Christianity
Anyone who advocates the above.
I take it the news media doesn’t say anything about this because they believe in sucking up to Muslims. Or they don’t care about a conservative being put on trial.
What utter nonsense! We despised muslims long before Steyn's column was published.
Obviously well reasoned civilized disagreement is now ‘hate.’
He already "sneaked" across. He's a resident alien living in New Hampshire.
We’re just a short time behind.
Well, by crackies, there can be no doubt we did, but we didn’t get near the credit for it. Now we have Canadian journalists blaming us for it, and that didn’t used to happen.
Not since Normandy. Since then they might as well be French.
If you really want to see hate in Canada, just mention something good about America and they will be off to the races on a rant...
