Is There A Lawyer On The Internet?
I guess by now every Internetter has noticed the Xtreme level of discourse taking place concerning Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant Vs Richard Warman and the CHRCs (the pluralization just means Canadian and the various provincial HRCs - curse these times of post-Federalism devolution of power to the provinces). It's hilarious to me that the amping up of anti-Muslim rhetoric is occuring now when the complaints being discussed are essentially ones involving anti-Muslim rhetoric.
NOT that the puffed up drama queens on the other side (Warman, CHRCs - and I'm not NOT predisposed to either, but we do have legally recognized hate speech and libel laws in this country, ALREADY) have any place in a democratic society, EITHER. I'm just noting how the guilty (and certainly, Steyn and Levant are guilty of anti-Muslim rhetoric - were it any other people other than Muslims they're going on about in the mainstream media they'd have been reduced to shouting on street corners until Richard Warman leapt out from behind the bushes where he'd been feeding them lines to make a citizen's arrest) and their supporters have stepped it up on the Internet as if proving that Muslims are The Bad Seed vindicates the accused.
It is to laugh, really, that these people are employed by the mainstream media. But there you go - this is Canada where the Global Village meets the Village Idiots of Punditry every day in the news.
Still, speaking personally, I'm happy to stay below the radar of Caped Crusaders because I believe it's their bionic vision and super strength of character what make them invulnerable to shades of grey and the vagaries of Democracy.
Mere mortals beware of Caped Crusades left and right is my motto.
