Yesterday, Marc Emery saw the light and apologized for calling Justice Minister Irwin Cotler a “Nazi-Jew”. Better late than never, as they say, though his preamble goes out of its way to lay the blame on others…
“When I was in jail, I was immersed in alot of reading. I was studying forced sterilizations in Alberta, the Nazi regime in Germany, all these books and pamphlets on Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X. I was surrounded by natives and attending their sweats. I was forced to work cleaning toilets & janitorial duties for my jailers (I cleaned and maintained the main administration building) for many weeks as part of my time there.
He doesn’t elaborate on which of these influences led to his flirtation with anti-Semitism.
(full statement)
For all the outrage my publication of Emery’s statements caused among his supporters (who apparently have problems discriminating between message and messenger) it seems my advice that he get a new campaign team has gone unheeded. A post by Cannibis Culture assistant editor “JodieGR” calms the devoted;
Marc is just making a statement to put an end to a media sensation that does nothing to further our cause, or to spread our message, or to persuade non-believers, or to educate the public. When the media controls what they want to print and show, we have to choose our words and comments carefully.
But remember, we still know this is a holocaust on cannabis users and believers. WE know this. People who do the research know this. But the media, and the general population, do not. Therefore, we have to present our argument in a better way, and using “hot-button” words eliminates any possibility to put forth a discussion on this topic.
Glad that’s been straightened out.
“No Tony you tool”
Koby are you as offensive as you post? Tony is an instrument not a tool.
He’s not Tony Hammer, being a guitar makes you an instrument.
Just sayin.
David, how can you be so st.. ooops, so nearsighted so as not to give a damn if people inject heroine.
I care very much that anyone do this because there are damaging repercussions.
I will draw a picture for you so you can see the connection.
The H user cares only about getting the next fix. Homes are broken into. Cars are stolen. Children are provided Heroine to widen the users resale market…. and you don’t give a damn?
Looting, raping and shooting [handgun], is going on as we speak in New Orleans. These are Heroine users who have lost their *connection*, and you still don’t give a damn if people use H?
Think again David. You don’t want the war zone that is lower East Hastings street, Vancouver to spread to where you live.
And, Koby, debate can be fun, but I will not be able look at any of your logic until you stop spitting. OK? Then we can talk. 73s TG
Kate “deleted form letter from Chris Bennett, who has been banned from this site for abuse of privilages.”
Koby. I did not post any form letter from Chris Bennett. Who the hell is Chris Bennett?
Tony: Kate has the right to make false statments about you it is her site.
Koby: Tony you are a tool
Tony: if you are going to be that why fine.
Koby: Fine let us debate: The issue at hand: The owner of a website has the right to make false statments about a poster: Pro side Tony; No Side Koby.
let us begin.
1987 comments made and distributed by the Neo-Nazi Marc Emery
“I think you people are the problem and the only real benefit to any of us would be if you were all exterminated. I cannot see any possible benefit in the existence of you people. Every problem you look at in today’s society was created by the very people I see before me. So in conclusion, I do not care how they do it, but I hope they take a gun, knife, bomb or bottle to you people and do you in, because until that happens nothing is really going to change in this province. Thanks a lot.”
