You keep using that phrase "free speech" ...


Free speech crusader Ezra Levant is seriously not interested in other peoples' opinions (emphasis added):

I've received a spate of anti-Tibet, pro-Communist China comments in response to my blog entries about Tibet.They are all signed by folks with English names, but the language has the slightly clunky style of Chinese propaganda. I mean, other than in China's denunciations of Taiwan and Tibet, have you ever heard the word "splittist" used before? I can spot Chinese government spin when I see it, and unless it is properly signed by the Chinese foreign ministry, I'm just not going to go along with the charade by posting the comments.

'Cuz there's Ezra's speech, and there's everyone else's speech, and let's not confuse the two, shall we?

The Chinese government must have one of these things too.

Ah, ha ha ha. How on Earth can Levant distinguish that from the grunting and squeaking of his regular commentariat? Maybe the fact that it was more coherent than usual is the thing that made him suspicious.

Anyway, that cenorious and authoritarian little bitch should be the last one to talk about propaganda.

Nice the way he set himself up as judge, jury and executioner there, wasn't it? There's "Conservative" "freedom" and "liberty" for you.

What a hypocrite.
