Well color me brown, as in those snappy designer brown shirts worn by Hitler's Sturmabteilung (SA), aka well, der Brown Shirts! You could just as easily substitute Mussolini's Black Shirts, but that might get you accused of racism by the Obamabot Noose Media. You could even substitute Mao Zedong's legendary Red Guard. The point is that socialists are not benign--they are the ultimate hate group. And all of the foregoing groups and the Democrats are socialists!
The Canadian version of the Brown Shirts/Black Shirts/Red Guard were on full and open display Tuesday night as angry rock and stick bearing "student" protesters shut down a scheduled speech by Ann Coulter at the University of Ottawa. Although in the case of the Canadian political thugs, they probably wore plaid lumberjack shirts. According to the Drudge Report (23 March 2010 Edition):
FLASH: Ann Coulter Ottawa speech shut down... 2000 protesters surrounding building with rocks and sticks -- pulled fire alarm in building. Cops shut it down! Blogs calling for Coulter to be hurt. MPs were banned from going, Coulter denounced by an MP in the Parliament.
To bring this home, we're hearing today from the prescient House Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer about Democrats that voted for ObamaCare being threatened with violence! No doubt the threats are eminating from horn rimmed glasses wearing right wing bloggers and Janet Napolitano's identified housefrau terrorist groups. This proves my point that whenever Liberal-Fascists accuse conservatives (or anyone they don't like) of bad behavior; it's because they are covering up the fact that they or their fellow travelers are probably engaged in such bad conduct.
According to the Canada.com article, many of the protesters cited "hate speech" as the reason for their fortified assault on free speech. Coulter believes that the tone was set by University of Ottawa vice-president and provost Francois Houle in an e-mail cautioning her on the content of her speech. According to the e-mail:
...We have a great respect for freedom of expression (sic), [NN: that's a major joke, just ask Canadian Mark Steyn about free speech in maple syrup land] in Canada, as well as on our campus, and view it as a fundamental freedom, as recognized by our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
I would, however, like to inform you, or perhaps remind you, that our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or "free speech") in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States. I therefore encourage you to educate yourself, if need be, as to what is acceptable in Canada and to do so before your planned visit here.
You will realize that Canadian law puts reasonable limits on the freedom of expression. For example, promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges. Outside of the criminal realm, Canadian defamation laws also limit freedom of expression and may differ somewhat from those to which you are accustomed. I therefore ask you, [that] while you are a guest on our campus, to weigh your words with respect and civility in mind. [NN: Sounds like an implied threat to me and an apparent crypto directive to the little leftist campus commie bots.]
According to Ms Coulter in her most recent column entitled Oh Canada, the e-mail was widely disseminated before she got it. This suggests that M. Houle was sounding the call to arms, i.e., sticks and rocks, to undermine the Coulter appearance. Ms Coulter also asked whether hate speakers like Israel-hater Omar Barghouti and ancient 1960s radical Angela Davis had received similar warning letters. Mark Steyn's comments on M. Houle's e-mail before the scheduled Coulter speech are poignant, if not downright scary as to the state of the western world democracies today:
This is the pitiful state one of the oldest free societies on the planet has been reduced to, and this is why our free speech campaign matters - because those who preside over what should be arenas of honest debate and open inquiry instead wish to imprison public discourse within ever narrower bounds - and in this case aren't above threatening legal action against those who dissent from the orthodoxies. Lots of Americans loathe Ann Coulter but it takes a Canadian like François Houle to criminalize her. The strictures he attempts to place around her, despite his appeal to "Canadian law", are at odds with the eight centuries of Canada's legal inheritance. Canadians should point that out to him politely, and explain that, although he lives high off the hog courtesy of the Canadian taxpayer, he does not speak for them.
The little leftist campus commie bots responded to M. Houle's silent dog whistle command by acting like the Brown Shirt thugs that most socialists end up becoming despite their initial good intentions. And as we all know, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The Cananda.com article catalogs the self-righteous indignation of these sawdust socialists. Here's a visual sample of the little totalitarian thugs in action celebrating the de facto censorship of Ann Coulter.
well sieg heil Baby! In fact, their chant "hate speech stopped" sounds a lot like Hitler's zombies in action. I can almost hear these same dimwits chanting "Yes we can!" Can book burning à la Farenheit 451 be far behind in the land of beavers and leftist boneheads? Most anti-free speech vitriol seems to be emerging from the left these days.
Here's Ms Coulter defending herself against the leftist rhetoric repressors:
If you think that Liberal-Fascist repression is any different in the Amerika of Barack Hussein Obama, then I'll leave you with this comment from the future high commissar of censorship, Senator Charles "No humor" Schumer of New York.
