Canada’s Green Party urges U.S. booksellers to ban hate material.

 

1. You know those people who love the planet but hate people having any sort of reasonable quality of life?  That’d be our Green Party.  They have no seats in Parliament, which should tell you everything you need to know about their credibility with the people.

   As to the Hate Speech aspect:  I invite you to read the postings of one of our shining stars in legal circles.  He’s a lawyer, very well spoken, and he has the Human Rights Commissions (HRCs) in Canada firmly in his sites.  I give you: Ezra Levant.  In January 2008, he appeared before the Alberta Human Rights Commission.  It’s a good place to start in the archives:  Kangaroo Court

   Ezra’s postings will help you understand just how twisted our laws, courts, and quazi-courts have become.

   The Greens trying to push an issue of hate-speech is just their attempt to whoever will listen to them.

2. Hi guys,

   Since I’m the local Jew, I suppose I’d better lead off.

   There’s no point in talking about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Mein Kampf, that’s been pretty well covered.  They’re crap, pure and simple.

   The most important point is the First Amendment.  Once censorship is accepted, where does it stop?  There is a line from Fahrenheit 451 to the effect that “this group didn’t like this book, that group didn’t like the other book, so we banned them all”.  I’m sure someone out there has the exact quote, but I’m also sure that I got the spirit of it. 

   To protect my own freedom of speech, I must also protect the free speech of the hatemongers and the liars.  I reserve my right to deal with them in other ways, but I cannot allow their freedom of speech to be infringed any more than I can accept the abridgment of my own freedom of speech.

   My personal feelings are that the racist buttholes should be rounded up and placed in death camps of their very own, but my personal feeling aren’t relevant to this discussion.  Only the First Amendment is important here.  It is one of the most important bulwarks of our republic.  Without it, the United States would quickly degenerate into G-d knows what, but it wouldn’t be the democratic republic that has protected us, that has nurtured us and that we love.

3. The most effective argument you can make against them is to just let someone read their work.
