I couldnt care less if she spoke at some university and spewed her skewed and racist ideas, but if she commits hate crimes, she should be prosecuted. Disrupting her speech?i think she got off lightly and whats worse we let her speak in calgary.I wonder if u had the same view when George Galloway was banned BY THE GOVT. from speaking in Canada?do give us a link to the video where u protected freedom of speech then, enough said!

[DHChristie]

Not enough said! I did comment on the Galloway affair, twice, the first video posted here on March 31, 2009. It is entitled "Who Will Turn the Tide: The Galloway Affair," and the second one, "Galloway Affair, Final." Please tell me what you think about them.

If she is so objectionable, you should appreciate the opportunity for her to demonstrate that to a wide audience, and prove your point about her. The fact that you want to put such conditions on her speaking, or to keep her out of Canada makes me think you don't trust the intelligence of Canadians. Hmmmm......

[tarivardamir]

Hold on there. You are contradicting yourself. I was responding to the very first, emphatic word you wrote in response to baracine's "Keep the gamey bitch out of Canada." You wrote: "Agreed." Make up your mind, silly.

Right on Douglas you are correct I am not Canadian but restricing speech is a slippery slope and is never a good idea.

[faelismaegnus]

tombeardman is a blind bigot.

[tombeardman]

@faelismaegnus Yes, I agree with you, she is a blind biggot.

[faelismaegnus]

@tombeardman Funny how hate speech only works in one direction. Funny that you think that certain folks can pop off at the mouth but they are still useful and intelligent members of your cause. I have one word for you - well - two - BLIND BIGGOT.

[tombeardman]

@faelismaegnus Oh, maybe calling John Edwards a faggot? C'mon, if you seriously can't see that this person is a homophobic racist warmonger, then I can't help you. She is so far out there and simply makes up stats that support her right wing positions. Her reasoning skills are shot. She simply makes outlandish assumptions as fact to support the most hate filled positions. She must drink a lot of booze to numb the mind in order to maintain this kind of persona. I could go on.
