Coulter Coulter Coulter - Enough Already.....
Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:
Proculation Proculation:
The thing is didn't wake up one morning saying "ok, i'll go make a speech in 3 canadian universities and piss people off !"
She was invited to make a conference speech.
We can disapprove what she says but censuring her in a free country like Canada is very wrong.
WHO THE HELL CENSORED HER.Was she able to speak ? No.
Hundreds of people were waiting for her speech but thousands prevented her to even get into the building. I call that censorship.

I call that the right to assemble and protest.
Let me ask you Proc. Let's say for sake of argument, yer having a little get together and I'm invited. But when I show up, I continually insult you, your friends, your home, your race, creed or colour, are you going to let me stay and keep speaking my mind in YOUR home? I'd also bet your friends would be standing up for you as well.
Well, Coulter has a history of shitting on Canada and Canadians(without having the tiniest clue what she's talking about) and enough people decided they didn't want her shitting in OUR house.

She Censored herself.

For all those pissing themselves over censorship on a site that regularly censors members, I'm waiting for the moral outrage on the mods to kick in.
Without saying a word I think this says it all.

or...
It's still censorship and that's preventing free speech. Preventing free speech is something that can't be tolerated in Canada, even if you don't like what the speech is about.
Here's a good opinion I found on the subject from a Professor of Law of U Montreal:

You have the right to protest a speech but when your protest PREVENTS the speech to happen, that's censorship and against freedom of speech.

That's non-comparable. She was invited to make a public speech in a public university.
Like I said, Voltaire said: "I disapprove of what you say but I will fight to death for your right to say it".

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/hec ... story.htmlOn Fox they were crowing about how Ahmadinejad was let speak at Columbia. There were thousands of protesters there too, some shouting and carrying signs on the ends of big sticks that could have been used as weapons and he had the balls to go ahead with his speech. She was not stopped from speaking, she saw an opportunity to make hay against her favorite enemy, Canadians.

Quite drinking Coulter's kool-aid. She and her advisors wussed out because they saw a great political opportunity that her hillbilly supporters would buy into on forums across the continent.

Yes because that particular censorship, "heckler's veto", was ruled against free speech in the US.
I don't think we have that court ruling here in Canada.

I'm not drinking anything. I have never heard or seen her since I don't watch american news. I barely know her.
I'm just saying that's wrong. You may think we can censor people because we don't like what they say but i'm strong defensor of free speech and i'm against that.
