		<description>While I disagree with the law, I also disagree with the hyperbole. We also have restrictions on freedom of speech here, albeit less than in Canada.</description>

		<description>"Canadian Human Rights Act 

13. (1) It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to cause to be so COMMUNICATE, repeatedly, in whole or in part BY MEANS OF THE FACILITIES OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS UNDERTAKING by means of the facilities of a telecommunication undertaking within the legislative authority of Parliament, ANY MATTER THAT IS LIKELY TO EXPOSE A PERSON or persons TO hatred or CONTEMPT by reason of the fact that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination."

Here it is Randy. This open ended law has been ruled to include the Internet and its blogs as well as printed, the press, communications. Notice one only needs to be deemed 'likely' to offend. It is enforced by Human Right Commissions that operate entirely outside the Judicial System. The Act includes search and seizure powers 'without' a judges order.

Imagine if you can having a bunch of JCs, who see discrimination around every corner, stacked onto these Commissions using this kind of power. Well this is exactly what they have in Canada.

The abuses are gross and only came to light when a radical Muslim complained to the Commissars that a weekly publication had printed the Mohammad Cartoons, and a daily National Publication, McCleans, had printed excerpts of Mark Steyn's book "America Alone". 

These two cases are still being adjudicated and they have cause a firestorm of controversy in Canada regarding Free or Speech and Press laws given them in their Charter(Constitution). 

Notice how JC wants to play-down the impact  of this law, and it activist enforcement by HRCs across Canada, by saying a bureaucrat 'lectured' a writer. Not quite. Canada's HRCs have and use sweeping powers to not only take complaints from citizens, but generate them themselves by trolling the internet, sometimes even logging in an creating hate comments themselves using alias in order to 'bait' other commenters.

Finally, they do not 'lecture'. They have and use their penalty powers to; force the defendant never to 'speak or communicate' about a subject ruled upon again, force the defendant to pay mental anguise monetary damages, and force the defendant to pay for their own lawyer/legal expenses while the plaintiff's are paid by the state FREE.

Their conviction rate is 100%! Not by a judge mind you, but by political appointments made to these commissions.</description>

		<description>Of course there is, but the right wing likes to conflate Mark Steyn being lectured by a bureaucrat with a lack of free speech.</description>

		<description>There are tougher hate speech laws in Canada, I think is the allusion.  And I don't go to the States very often.</description>

		<description>It really breaks your heart to see the damage done to innocent people by righteous activist leftist zealots embedded into our educational system, and now we're finding into our inner city churches. The damage is astounding, and almost impossible to turn-around after our young people are exposed to this 'the world owes you a living' crap in their schools and churches . 

While Wright preaches segregation, racism, avoidance of middle-classness, and you can't make it in evil and white America, he lives in a million dollar home in a gated white upper middle class suburb with a million dollar budget to spend as he see fit. 

But this just isn't enough. He has a book coming out and the world needs to know about it, even if it means damaging the first chance in 200 years for one of his race to show you can make it in America, if you just stop using ancient history as excuses for failure and f--king try for godshake. 

Or maybe it's the fact Obama is beginning to prove his racist separatist hateful idealogy, that surely will be the premise of his book, WRONG!</description>

		<description>Cummings comes to America to exercise freedom of speech he does not have in Canada, all the time kicking, damning, excoriating, and reviling the only country in the world willing to spill it's on blood and treasure to preserve and spread it for others in the world.

So typical of spoil brats that have been 'given' everything and 'earned' nothing. I hesitate to respond to this academia damaged 30 year old 'student', because I know he will insist on having the very last word, as all righteous zealots must, and  delay only further the day he may 'choose' to graduate and get a job.

It wouldn't be out of guilt or shame, however. College education is a Human Right, as is just about everything else in Canada.........except Freedom of Speech.</description>

		<description>Quoting Obama (his old friend Edward must be turning in his grave):
"when he equates the United States' wartime effort with terrorism, then there are no excuses. They offend me, they rightfully offend all Americans, and they should be denounced."

Can anyone explain to me - I'm being perfectly sincere - how causing the deaths of nearly 20 million people over the last half century is not terrorism?  Its worse.  As Chomsky puts it, its wholesale terrorism, as opposed to the far less robust spectre of retail terrorism, which certainly has become a threat.</description>

		<description>That noxious strain of economics emanated out of English Enclosures over 400 years ago.  Capitalism is nothing new.  The crisis of the 70s post Vietnam required Chicago neoliberalism to keep western capital afloat.  Friedman didn't invent capitalism.</description>

It is not at all Manichean, since you haven't even seen a smidgen of my worldview.  I was merely pointing out how much of the rest of the planet, including most of my own countrymen see US power.  Call it manichean, I don't see any cogent arguments against the point I make.  And I do not attribute stupidity to Americans, I attribute sublimated guilt.</description>

		<description>"reg out a-spinin’ and hopin’ agin hope!"

 Suffice to say that if I were betting hard-earned money on any candidate in November, it wouldn't be McCain.  That's not spin that 's realism.  

 In April of 1992 George H.W. Bush was running 16 points ahead of Bill Clinton.  Waffling or whining over polls or "moments" in this campaign - particularly given the deep, deep negatives that the GOP chooses to stick to on issues - is silly. And ahistorical.  Taunting me on one bad day for Obama doesn't make any kind of case for "staying the course" with McBush.  And there's so much baggage lurking in McCain's closet it's ridiculous. (How about the McCain family financial disclosure ? What was up with that ?) How stupid do you think Americans are ?  Is tangential spin the absolute determinant, rather than core issues ?  That's a sad view of this country.  (Do you hate America ?)</description>

		<description>Outstanding!  Obama took the gloves off.

Oh, and cummings, your grotesquely reductionist and Manichean view of the world explains a lot.  The US is just the hobgoblin foil for all of your dialectical musings.  But it's just fucking patronizing.

The US has a hell of a lot of shame in its history, but we're not as dumb down here as you might think about these things.  We can do the whole two-thoughts-at-once thing every once in a while.

For example, not all of us think Christians are to blame for our transgressions.  Some of us manage to puzzle out that it might have something to do with the intersection of money and political power backed up by a noxious strain of economics that wafted out of Chicago.  Give some of us some credit every now and then.

Anyway...Go Obama!  He is going to crush McCain. Any of you looking at polls today and drawing conclusions about how he will do against McCain are being self-delusional.</description>

		<description>Jcummings says:

"Americans have filters that give them a sense of, dare I say, false conciousness, in that they are freaked out by Wright because deep down, no matter how much they disavow what he says, he speaks the truth, nevermind the showboating and AIDS conspiracies."

"Americans are freaked out by that, because they are intelligent and deep down they know its true. So they keep themselves doped with religion and sex and tv."

Left-wingism in a nutshell.  Attribute the opinions of the best-educated, richest Demos from the oldest modern liberal democracy in the history of the world to pure unalloyed stupidity. Engage no arguments.</description>

		<description>I am disappointed that no one here is exploring Brother Wright's learned comments before the Detroit NAACP on the qualities of "black" and "white" brains and intelligence. 

Obama might yet prove to be a special, transformative case.  As a mullato, might he be endowed with the genetic wherewithal to explain the black brained to the white brained, and vice versa? 

Or, on the other hand, did Obama twenty long years ago take a cheap "Leftist" shortcut and ally himself with an insane racist? No enemies to the  
Left! No enemies with darker pigmentation!

What is Obama going to do about this?  Will he make Joe Lieberman his Secretary of State or will he choose Calypso Louie, instead? Will Obama enlist the aid of Bill Ayers to transform the Department of Defense into the Department of Peace?

The only thing I'm not wondering about is who will win the gun-toting Hillbilly vote in '08.</description>

		<description>I completely understand American politics.  Americans have filters that give them a sense of, dare I say, false conciousness, in that they are freaked out by Wright because deep down, no matter how much they disavow what he says, he speaks the truth, nevermind the showboating and AIDS conspiracies.  It freaks Americans out to hear that their country is not just mistaken in its actions, but fundamentally and deeply wrong by any moral standard.  All Americans know this on one level, Rightwing Christians sublimate it and place the wrongness onto a certain coastal (Jewish) elite that wants to take prayer out of schools.  Liberals put it on these Christians.  But neither really looks deep enough into America's black soul and knwos the inarguable fact that America is not, and has not been at least since the second world war, a force for anything but what theoligians cal "Evil".

Americans are freaked out by that, because they are intelligent and deep down they know its true.  So they keep themselves doped with religion and sex and tv.</description>

		<description>I was merely pointing out different lenses, Dan-O, and I have stated that I am foursquare behind Obama.  I was merely pointing that this had all the elements of tragedy, in that both antagonistic poles are logically consistent.  I agree that on one level that Wright fucked Obama, just as Obama fucked Wright.   That said, my views are far closer to Rev. 
Wright's.  

Pure enough?  Edwards was far purer, as far as I'm concerned than Obama.</description>
