Podcast demands Right to Laugh in Canada

Canada's Human Rights apparatus is at it again! We talk this week to Guy Earle, who committed the unpardonable sin of having a go at some hecklers at a show in Vancouver.

They were lesbians, and it turns out the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has decreed lesbians are permanently out of season and probably a doubly protected species (they're Gay and Women!), so now Guy Earle is in the same boat as Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant.

Read more about his impending legal fight at his website. If you're in Toronto on the 19th, do be sure to support Guy Earle's fight with the anti-free-speech bureaucracy by going along to the Comics for Freedom Rally at The Comedy Bar which is at 945B Floor West.

In Blog news this week we express our support for the left wingers (I know, I know) over at Harry's Place who are getting into a legal battle with Hamas. Well done for drawing them out into the open where the rest of us can snipe that them! More about those people who are withdrawing from IslamExpo can be found here.

The use of the term Black Hole (by anyone except Stephen Hawkins we assume) is now not allowed in racially hyper aware America. More details from Michell Malkin and Five Feet of Fury.

Despite what the NYT or Fox or any other mainstream outlets might say, the latest Fauxtography scoop came from LGF. The Iranian reports of Israelis fleeing Israel (which seem to be as trustworthy as their photographs) can be found on Ynet.

This week Meryl is discussing Pat Buchanan, Doug has a few things on his mind and Evan is talking about the implications of Guy Earle's prosecution in Canada.

Once again, well done all.  For a podcast done for the fun of it, with no hope whatever of making a profit (especially from me as I've just been informed that the transmission on my auto is FUBAR and will require $800 to $1000 to replace) you have managed to cobble together yet another entertaining and informative offering.

That said, while there may be someone named "Stephen Hawkins" who has contributed to the knowledge of astrophysics with regard to black holes, I think you'll find that most of your listeners are more familiar with Stephen Hawking.

If you need help proofreading, Brian knows where to find me.

I have to say, the part about this podcast being "far right" and that fact that therefore Charles Johnson was interviewed on a far right podcast was very amusing to me.  I love this podcast--keep up the good work!

I found Mr. Earl's responses to be rather sophmoric. At one point he says he has done a lot of study on the HRC's and then says he knows nothing of the Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn cases... One would be having to live under a rock in Canada to not know anything about these cases while faced with a HRC tribunal... Could it be that Mr. Earl just can't bring himself to acknowledge that he is on the same side of the street as these two gentlemen when it comes to freedom of speech?

I understand that his benefit was mostly a 2 hour potty mouth telethon. Some reports claim that no comments were made about the HRT in Canada. I guess they just don't get it yet and, I feel like a sucker because I sent $20 to his cause to stand up for freedom of speech.

To Mr. Earl, he is just too stupid or won't acknowledge that free speech in Canada is a universal right (or at least should be). Hey Guy... throw your ideology overboard and swim for the life raft that the "evil right" has thrown to you, you stupid fuc*...
