If "offending" is a RIGHT under the new Harper Administration ...

then Ezra Levant has made it sacred ...

and is is working on making it sacrosanct.

@curious007cur Maybe you should grow a pair. What kind of pansy goes around being offended all the time? Up until the last 10 years or so men didn't get offended; now it's a full-time occupation for metrosexuals, frequently on behalf of others.

[SDAMatt2a]

@SDAMatt2a Yes, that it precisely the point. He has the right - it IS in law- to say whatever he wishes, and if you don't like it, too freaking bad.

@curious007cur

SDAMatt2a seems to think that offending people is the best way to communicate. And if we don't like it and say so? Then what? He has the right to foment hatred until someone is injured and killed ... and shrug ... not my problem? Does that sound reasonable?

[SDAMatt2a]

@curious007cur We're going to waste our time talking about the difference between free and prohibited speech? This is reminds me of those people who always have to drone on about how not * all * muslims do this, that, and the other. Spare me the detours - stick to the point.

Fuck off with your 'PC". Truth is truth. Stand up to these OPPRESSORS of true freedom.

@arp76 Guess what LEFTIE, maybe he doesnt care and thinks they have the right to say whatever they want anyway. If blacks wants to call me cracker, as a white man, i can be offended, but i'm not sending police after them, its stupid. Oh, i forgot... hate speech against regular whites doesnt count, but side issue. But its free speech you idiot, if you cant speak your mind you live in a dictatorship, but i guess thats what you want, isnt it?

[ghostframer]

@curious007cur Freedom of speech overrides your right to be offended.

[dragszes]

Richard Warman is infantile.Just a spioled child that has been given incredible ppower

[enkigilgamesh]

Bunch of gov.cry babies. Don't call me names...wha-a-a! Are these guys adults? TAx Money wasted. I guess that is what gov.does.... waste

[arp76]

Does Ezra realize that Marc Lemaire's Heritage Front targeted him in the 90s? I cannot believe there is a person who exists on this Earth that is more stupid than Ezra Levant

[curious007cur]

@SDAMatt2a I don't mind offending you SDAMatt2a. But only if it is not simply to degrade you as a person. Nor to berate you for your personal beliefs. If your words and actions are a stupid, callous, and hypocritical as Ezra Levant's that I will be as offensive to you as possible ... but ... for what you say and do to others "unjustly". Not for the sake of being OFFENSIVE!

[curious007cur]

@curious007cur

And what is your point SDAMatt2a? That being OFFENSIVE is a RIGHT? Or that Ezra should have the freedom of speech "stretched" so he can call for the assassination of a journalist that reveals the conservative military agenda of aggression with the "goal" of immunity to kill anyone who opposes them?

[curious007cur]

Ezra is not interested in free speech.

If he was he would not have called on the American government to "assassinate" Julian Assange. A statement Ezra will not retract or apologize for. Ezra Levant takes OFFENSIVE to a whole other level. Degrading the rights and protections under the constitution is Ezra's way of protecting himself from the libel, slander and frankly deadly intent that his rash statements invoke.
