Oh! Those will help save your right to free speech from being smothered!

I don't see how Ezra can report "fearless news" when he's so obviously afraid of everything.

Oh and seeing as opinion is news now, here's an opinion piece from an actual, for real, moderate Muslim who saw the same thing at M-103 protest Menzies did in the OP:

'Useful idiots' line up to support M-103

And btw...



(Disclaimer: Speaking of said "Morons" let's head them off and reply to the inevitable 'Hitchens wasn't the first to say that post' with a simple, so what?)

You don't know much about Hitchens if you think he would have in any way been on your side about any topic EXCEPT muslims. And that's only because of his complete disdain for every religion, which you still don't share.

Additionally, he would probably not agree with the travel ban that Trump put out. Sadly we can't know.

N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:

And I'm sure that makes perfect sense to anybody who believes you are the arbiter of worth.

Anyone with eyes that can still see, an active sense of smell, and knows the basic moral difference between right & wrong can tell what almost all those guys are all about. It's really not that difficult to tell a bullshit artist from someone worth listening to.

Also Hitchens didn't say that it's a misquote.

Ha! You're right. Though to be fair, it's something he would say. Sam Harris even thought he said it cause it's so like him.

Because the opinion of someone with enough qualifications to work for what you refer to as mainstream media is more newsworthy then the opinion of someone who's only qualification is an internet account.

I agree on part of that. I don't think your opinion is as worthy as the Toronto Sun's Tareq Fatah's, or for that matter the OP's David Menzies

Come to think of it though, that doesn't actually matter, does it? Because you have no intention of ever discussing the actual issue of the thread or even pretending it interests you.

The "issue" of the thread is total bullshit. Nobody's restricting free speech in Canada. You can stand in the park on a soapbox and spout whatever shit you want (or pay to host a website like The Rebel) and dodge all the tomatoes and lawsuits you want.

Why bother? Don't you know because the USSR collapsed it proves everything about communism is invalid and means Marx and Lenin wrote only lies?

[Alta_redneck]

N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:

Why is the opinion piece from Neil McDonald News, but the opinion piece from Tarek Fatah fake news?

If that's not the case why is the Rebel fake news when it is only illustrating Tarek's opinion with actual video?

Or are you saying Rebel is as fake as CBC?

Your arguing with people that believe the Russians elected the President of the United States of America.

Do I need to say anything more.

Yes and did you read the disclaimer at the bottom? The one that said:

I knew the quote had been attributed incorrectly to Hitchens in some way. I also knew some irritating, nit-picker would have to jump on that like the triviality somehow affected the truth of the words. It doesn't though. It's just another big fat, "so what?"

Islamophobia is still "a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons" no matter who said it. The truth of that is bound to bother any morons who might have been manipulated by said words to the point they will use any conflicting nit-pick to pretend it somehow makes the truth false. Doesn't work. The quote remains true.

So the Muslim Brotherhood's pet Liberals would like to earn a pat on the head by moving incrementally toward the blasphemy laws of Sharia, by first citing this imaginary Islamophobia thing as the bogey man that needs official government vilification.

Meanwhile the latest version of far left thugs are patrolling to make sure nobody speaks against the move.

This is caught on video tape, and we're told anyone who notices is the bad guy.

[N_Fiddledog]

And Tricks - a clever thing an atheist says doesn't become dumb, because he's an atheist. I listen to all kinds of atheists. I subscribe to New Atheists on Youtube. I agree with them on all kinds of things. They're often Liberals. Many actual liberals are leaving the progressive hivemind and discovering they share common ground with Conservatives on important issues even if they disagree on others.

In any case here is Hitchens on Islamophobia and if Iqra Khalid has her way she would like us trained to think of this opinion as hate speech, and get us one step closer to doing something about it.



I agree with Hitchens on Free Speech too.

No not lies, more like misguided, well intentioned utopia bullshit from a bunch of underachieving basement dwelling, sofa surfing losers. Not much has changed in the last 100 years, has it? I think you summed it up best in your post in the residential school thread.

herbie herbie:

Exactly.
I really don't think most teachers at that school were told to 'kill their languages and culture', but that was the outcome.
And building a school at every remote reserve was probably financially impossible in those days, they probably thought it was cheaper and easier to bring the students to the school - and never even thought about the long term effects of doing that.

A bunch of commies thought they were doing the "right thing" too. They never thought about the long term effects either. Millions killed, lives and fortunes ruined, years wasted. For what? So people can get on a waiting list to drive an American car built in the 1950's? All those people who died trying to go over, under, around a wall in Berlin. All those people drowning fleeing Cuba floating in bathtubs, makeshift rafts, etc. All those people blown to bits stepping on land mines trying to escape Vietnam. How many people have been killed trying to REACH these workers paradises? Communism "meant well" too. Arrogance was a word I seen used in the residential school thread many times. Multiply that "arrogance "by a 100 million, and you might come close to the scourge that was communism. Communism should be synonymous with arrogance.
