Sadly it brings Gorgeous George the attention he craves.
We can only hope he is a one day story. Being prevented from coming to Canada isnt an easy thing to do.
Seems the Border patrol has grown a pair. It wont just be the minister, who generally doesnt get involved in these decisions. It will come from a directive given by the Minister to tightern up in general….is there a new Deputy Minister in place, who would be the one to make it happen. I suspect the border patrol is now quite happy to be allowed to do its job.
Philboy: “Just because you don’t like where the speech is coming from…”
Read this four or five times, or until it sinks in: Galloway provides material support to a terrorist organization that is banned in Canada. He brags about it.
May I recommend a remedial comprehension course? Typing, in and of itself, isn’t an argument, eh?
Galloway provides material support to a terrorist organization that is banned in Canada. He brags about it.
So what. If you and Kenney have the courage of your convictions, then clap him in irons when he gets here. But conservatives have neither courage nor convictions. George W is guilty of mass murder but he’s allowed in.
No, which ever way you slice it, it’s still baloney, ebd. Freedom for speech that YOU like. Stalin would concur with that sentiment.
Freedom of speech and expression. Imagine that.
Galloway isnt a criminal in the UK. To top it off, he is democratically elected by citizens of the UK.
Courage of conviction is one thing. Keeping a democratically elected people’s representative of another country because the Government of the day disagrees with his politics is quite another.
Is this worthy of applause? Only if you want Canadian MPs banned from visiting the UK because of their political views. Incidentally, that would be considered an insult to Canadian voters. Not that it would ever happen. Nobody abroad pays enough attention to Canadian politicians to know what they stand for. In fact they don’t pay attention to anything Canada says or does, let alone individual MPs.
Methinks Kenney might just be jealous of Galloways fame. Maybe its pen1s envy: size matters.
You can tell the decision to keep this lunatic out of Canada was the right one when the left wing moonbats go ballistic.
By the way, completely off topic, it was really great that George Bush was in Calgary to give a speech. He was very well received
Yet again pointing out the boundless capacity of right wing hypocrisy is hardly going ballistic, luft. It’s hilarious, really.
First watch (Taylor YouTube) George Galloway praising Saddam Hussein.
Then watch Evan Sayet explaining how Liberals rationalize their behavior. http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/196873.php
Iraqi’s today are happy with their new democracy. Thanks to the USA.
So how can Galloway be so wrong ? Like many Liberals, they simply ignore the truth. Favor wrong over right. Prefer statism over freedom. Reward failure while punishing success. Grant the same or more protections and rights to criminals as to victims.
How n’ hell can they live with themselves ? They stroke themselves and say, there can be no discrimination. None ! None what so ever. We are “civilized”. We are “Intellectuals”.
Gun registry turns blind eye to gangs , self inflicted brain fried druggies rights to health care, 911 terrorists not guilty because we must have deserved it, disruptive students have a right to disrupt the class, treasonous Arab groups protected under the Charter, Canadians speaking out against despicable Muslim treatment of women are racist – according to Liberals. (Seen any western women’s groups protesting stoning lately ?)
Under Saddam, Galloway’s bombastic attitude would have led to Gallows Way.
philboy….you would know all about Stalin, wouldn’t you? Fortunately, Galloway’s feet will never touch Canadian soil. We need more of that sort of action, really.
Haha, that’s effin awesome!!! Go Kenney!!
I would support Jason Kenney for PM, let Harper drop back to being finance minister, that’s the only thing he cares about anyway. He’s had three years and two months to speak out on free speech and political correctness issues, and he has said nothing constructive, just weak spineless jellyfish talk that extends the Chretien-Martin undeclared social revolution against mainstream values in Canada.
Harper is useless, time for the H-bots on here to give your heads a shake and get with the conservative program.
To all you leftards no one has silenced him, he can scream his anti-semetic bigoted stuff across the boarder. LOL what will they do now that Englands most noted anti-semitic bigot can’t be quest speaker? Perhaps Osama or a visitor at gitmo will come out of the cave or cell for you bigots and haters on the left.

Whoo Hoo, Sheesh O’Donnell too funny. Do you honestly think that FD group of whiners you belong to are “conservatives”?
As noted the old Galloway terrorist lover is given as much free speech in his country as any radical terrorist lover. His refusal to enter Canada has nothing to do with his ‘free speech’ … Even the Scots are ready to toss him and his insanity into the deepest Loch — near Galloway.
philboy 4:40PM – “If you and Kenney have the courage of your convictions, then clap him in irons when he gets here.”
Actually, that would also work for me.
We have the left here in Canada supporting the terrorist, funding and speaking up for them. We sure as hell don’t need some brit coming over and getting the leftie jihadist on our soil all riled up and giving them money to kill us.
Let him stay there and encourage the jihadist on England’s soil to kill his own people.
This is all good, whenever Canadians think of the liberal party they think terrorist supporters.
Another superb piece by lefty blogger Terry Glavin. Excerpt:
“George Galloway, the British MP who has just now been denied entry to Canada, is a petty and notoriously corrupt streetcorner demagogue who moonlights as a scab for the journalist-jailing authoritarian regime in Tehran. He is perhaps the English-speaking world’s most strident defender of the boodthirsty, far-right religious movement Hezbollah, Tehran’s proxy army in Lebanon. He is a successful fundraiser for the religious-fundamentalist death cult Hamas, which is banned in Canada and for which it is specifically illegal to raise funds in Canada.
“Galloway is a thug, a collaborator with totalitian Baathism, and one of the most sinister champions of a global Islamist reaction that has resulted in the jailing, torture and execution of tens of thousands of Muslim democrats, women’s rights leaders, socialists and liberals. A proper left-wing debate about what to do about someone like George Galloway might focus on whether he should be summarily executed as a counter-revolutionary, allowed to serve out the remainder of his miserable life in prison, or allowed to remain at large so that the people could laugh at him, insult him, or ignore him to their heart’s content.”
Glavin has a problem with the wording of the law that keeps Galloway out — “the effect of the law is to close Canada’s doors to any freedom fighter engaged in armed struggle, or evening advocating armed struggle to overthrow precisely the tyrannies Galloway can’t stop himself from sucking up to” — and thinks it should be rewritten. “We should be allowed by our own laws to determine the company we keep. Much of the Left in Canada may well be too far gone to be able to recognize a dirty little blackshirt like Galloway for what he is. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of us should not be entitled to live in a country with laws sufficient to welcome our friends in the struggle for democracy and against tyranny, and laws sufficient to deny safe harbour, of any kind, to any of their sworn enemies.”

Great news. Galloway has no inherent right to step onto Canadian soil, especially if he’s going to dis the Canadian military and our role in the war in Afghanistan. I’m with Minister Jason Kenney all the way. It’s time the uber-left moonbats and their bullying swagger are told to shut up and butt out because that they’re not welcome here.
I’m kind of feeling like the tide is beginning to turn. I sure hope so for the sanity of the planet.
how i detest these calls to dump PMSH and replace him with Kenney….only a political corinthian would think Kenney is acting without having received the imprimatur of the prime minister…
Should change his name to George Go Away, would be more fitting. or maybe George Gallows Eh?
mid island mike
Four Canadians killed today by the same scum that Galloway kneels before. It is not just ‘his different political views’ that makes him undesirable,it is that he supports the barbaric ideology that devastates many in this country.Any questions,sycophant cowards?
Good for Jason and good for us. We don’t have to let EVERY piece of scum into the country, do we?
“This low life has a history of providing material aid to terrorists.”
Yeah, but so do your guest bloggers and we don’t hold that against them.
Kathy Shaidle has twice in the last month written posts trying to get people to come out to a JDL meeting. The JDL is a violent, banned terrorist organization in Canada and America and other countries, with a history of assaulting Canadian free speechers. They have a history of bombings and have been implicated in murder.
Kathy Shaidle is an organizer for a terrorist organization, which, judging from the extremely large terrorist rally on Parliament Hill this month, hardly makes her unique in Canada. So I don’t see what the big deal is about Galloway, it’s not like he’s even organizing a terrorist meeting or anything.
Are you sure it’s worth blowing your credibility as a free speecher over this?
Wait; the JDL “is a violent, banned terrorist organization in Canada and America and other countries…”?
That’s the Jewish Defence League, or some other JDL?
What are you talking about, Monford?
Tokyo Rose probably wouldn’t have been allowed. Lord Haw Haw likely would have met the same fate. As far as replacing PMSH, without a majority it would make no difference, Kenney can be next, then Wall. WK provocateurs can go try make Iggy a man.
Bravo Jason Kenny. Please ban for life the pious gas bag George Galloway. Hooray. Nobody can do self righteous indignation like that jackass.
Jason Kenny is gaining respect!
John Luft nailed it……..Galloway would have been in the front pew when Geert Wilders was banned from the UK.
Hmmmmm fun when the shoes on the other foot, no? Good for the Harper govnt again.
Ignatieff weighs in on the matter,from cbc.—“”If he is being barred on free speech grounds that is an outrage,” said Ignatieff. “He can come to Canada and talk rubbish all day long as far as I’m concerned.”— Michael Ignatieff,not a leader.
“Are you sure it’s worth blowing your credibility as a free speecher over this?”
Well it’s so obvious the left side of a leftards brain never functions but here’s a little secret. This issue has nothing to do with free speech. Try looking up “enemy” or “supporting terrorists” or something like that. Use Google if that helps.
http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/prg/ns/le/cle-en.asp
I don’t see any JDL there..so consider yourself fact checked. Behold the awesome power of google retard. The only Jewish group even listed is Kach and the Jewish Defense league is not one of its aliases.
If he was Canadian let him speak, yell, or make a CNFB film.. Being an import why do we have to listen to foreign fascists when we have so many of our own? Free speech should be for everyone here, but having a British national speak against our war effort & troops for our enemy is just plain nuts.
Probably totally wrong but when I first read this I thought it may be retaliation for the Brits banning another foreign Parliamentarian who is pro Israel. Geert Wilders. As we all know is not on the side of Jihad.
That would speak well in my opinion, of Harpers crew. If there is one thing this government has stayed almost 100% on. Its Israel. In that regard PM. Harper has been fearless. Jason Kenny I think has seen the light when it comes to anti-Zionist protests, as just more Islamist propaganda. Frankly I don’t think any group ought to be subsidized by tax dollars. There own folks should pay the tab. If they can’t support it than obviously it ain’t much of a cause is it, if even popular?
JMO
I also think it shouldn’t even be worthy of mentioning that barring entry to the country of a seditious terrorist sympathizer like Galloway isn’t a ‘free speach issue”. The fellow brags about raising money for illegal terrorist organizations why on earth should we let that sort of riff raff into our country – although I’ll second the call that we should allow him in and promptly arrest him.
The JDL isn’t banned in Canada and never has been. Monford is totally out to lunch
From the article:
“We’re going to uphold the law, not give special treatment to this infamous street-corner Cromwell who actually brags about giving ‘financial support’ to Hamas, a terrorist organisation banned in Canada,” he said. “I’m sure Galloway has a large Rolodex of friends in regimes elsewhere in the world willing to roll out the red carpet for him. Canada, however, won’t be one of them.”
George Galloway should be in the jailhouse, certainly not traveling anywhere outside the Uk! The man made a fortune in the oil for $$ scandal that he, his Liberano-type left wing pals (in Canada), and hard left goons from UN, USA, and GB…raked off the backs of the people in Saddam’s Iraq. http://www.slate.com/id/2170981/nav/navoa/ – 44k .
Jason Kenny was absolutely correct to ban him from Canada. Bravo Jason.
We have an excellent Prime Minister – no replacement should be even considered by sane people.
poor iggy…pathetically trying to make even a handful of political hay….i find him as contemptible and risible a pol as taliban jack….he simply can’t make the intellectual vault from political correctness to a principled stand….i’m convinced the man is ignorant of events on the point as they have developed over the last decades…..i don’t suppose he’s ever heard of the international conspiracy to use lawfare to undermine our institutions and our conviction in their rightness…i KNOW we in the West are superior in thought word and deed….and i really doubt he’s ever heard of Podhoretz and WW4….and yet he considers himself an intellectual…?
so what motivates a putzenheimer like the two dicks in the last para ?
Despite his bragging in a speech he just gave in Winnipeg — “I am an academic” — Ignatieff struck me as embarrassingly uninformed.
He rattled off a list of accomplishments that, apparently, Winnipegers had pulled off and came across as a total phony. The problem is, it’s clear that someone else put the list together for him to read off and that he, actually, doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about.
His darting eyes and languid arrogance simply rankle. I sense that the more Canadians see of him, the more unpalatable he will become.
When he started to dis Prime Minister Stephen Harper, my husband switched to another channel.
“The JDL isn’t banned in Canada and never has been. Monford is totally out to lunch”
Well, if the FBI is to be believed,perhaps they should be banned. But lets not hold that against Shaidle. Freedom of speech is only for the priviliged few who agree with us.
“Jewish Defense League
Investigation by the Los Angeles JTTF revealed that Irving Rubin and Earl Krugel were active members of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a known violent extremist Jewish Organization. A Cooperating Witness reported statements made by Rubin and Krugel indicating a plan to attack the Islamic Muslim Public Affairs Council (IMPAC) office in Los Angeles or possibly the California office of United States Congressman Darrell Issa. Statements made by Kruger indicated the motivation for the attack was to serve as a “wake up call” to the Muslim Community. Rubin and Krugel were arrested by members of the Los Angeles JTTF for conspiring to build and place an improvised explosive device at the IMPAC office.”
Statement of John S. Pistole, Executive Assistant Director, Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence, FBI
Before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States
April 14, 2004
So how about we all have a go at Ms. Shaidle for promoting an organization that likes committing terrorist attacks. Whats that I hear? Sounds like silence.
Galloway is a nutjob, but theres no shortage of nutjobs allowed into this country. He doesn’t plan to stay, and there are, ostensibly, Canadian citizens who would like to meet him (why else was he coming here?). Instead we have a government that disagrees with his political views, so hes disallowed. If that isn’t arbitrary, what is?
As for freedom and speech and all that, people here love waxing lyrical about them, but when it comes to freedom of expression of those Canadians who want to see Galloway here for whatever reason, the concepts go flying out of the window. The protestations here are really quite pathetic.
You all say you support terrorism, but how many will criticise the JDL or Shaidle? Its this kind of petty and vindictive governance that gives the Tories a bad name.
galloway is easily one of the most ignorant assholes to ever crawl off the BritishIsles, but to deny him his horrible idiotic words on national security grounds is xenophobic, at least.
Let the hopeless pathetic freak throwup and the people decide, not the effing state.
howsabout just banning the cockroach from coming here….and just looking at it as US putting one across THEIR bow….?
just to show them we’re NOT pussies or pushovers….just to make georgie boy look bad…and to hopefully ruin his day..and piss him off…or just to piss ANYONE off…to make soharwardy and elmo look over their shoulders….stuff like that….
It is interesting to see all the muddled thinking from some. The only way one can justify that it is a free speech issue is if one believes in a one world government with completely open borders and with no country having sovereignty and control over its borders.
Fortunately we are not there yet, so Canada retains the right to deny entry to those considered to pose a threat to national security.
Most of the commentors here support the Tamil Tigers terrorist group and their right to hold terrorist rallies on Parliament Hill, should they be banned from Canada too?
ET for example aids and abets the Tamil Tigers with her strong support of them and their right to rally on Parliament, and nobody here seems to have a problem with that.
So that’s two terrorist organizations that SDA commentors support, JDL and Tamil Tigers, just off the top of my head. This terrorism concept, which not incidentally has its providence in Lenin’s USSR, seems more trouble than it is worth if we’re only going to use it as a political tool when convenient.
Don’t shoot the messenger, kids, I’m not the one who supports the JDL and the Tamil Tigers here, and if I don’t point it out someone else will.
Galloway got banned because he is an amazingly powerful speaker; ask Hitch what happens to people who take on Galloway in a debate, they get smoked. Kenney just made Galloway a free speech martyr and the effects of that will be felt long after this government leaves office.
Sorry, Monford, and others. The free speech meme that you use is a red herring. This is not an issue of free speech at all. It’s an issue of Canada exercising her sovereignty over who she allows to enter. Period.
Let me put it another way: Galloway is perfectly free to spew his hateful screed in this country….via satellite video feed. There is nothing stopping him from doing so, just not in person.
So, please stop with the (frankly lame) posturing trying to paint this as an issue of free speech. It doesn’t hold water.
monford – I think that you should stick to the facts and don’t betray your complete ignorance.
I don’t ‘aid and abet Tamil Tigers’. Prove it. I support the right of free speech of people of Tamil descent who are citizens of Canada. I bet you think that any and all Tamils in Canada are members of “Tamil Tigers’, don’t you. Heh. Try to think once in a while. Ignorance isn’t a virtue.
And as others have pointed out, as well as myself, refusing Galloway entrance has zilch to do with free speech. He’s not a Canadian citizen; the Charter doesn’t apply to him. Not even one article applies to him. The issue is whether or not he is, in common terms, a rabble-rouser and likely to promote violence when he is here. Since he IS a rabble-rouser and this is irrelevant of his speech topic, and a foreign one at that, then, we don’t need him.
Readers can read ET’s brave defense of the Tamil Tigers and their right to have a terrorist rally on Parliament Hill here: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=10997#comment-371401
“The Sri Lanka have been violent in their repression of this separatist movement…not all Tamil are terrorists and the ones in Toronto were rallying, peacefully”
(Not true, by the way, they forcefully shut down traffic with the threat of violence just like the Mohwks did. Seems to happen a lot in Canada. Anyway, ET just told a verifiable lie in defense of a terrorist group.)
“It is notable that Tamil in India, which treats them differently than they are treated in Sri Lanka, are not advocating separation or violence.”
Nobody disagreed with her, either, so it is fair to call this website one that supports the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization. Hell, if I had a blog and someone wrote what ET wrote it would be ban city, and if I were a commenter I’d set here straight, but then again I don’t support terrorists.
ET, when it was brought to your attention that there was a terrorist rally on Parliament Hill, your response was not “Holy sh*t that’s wrong!”, like a normal person, but instead you clearly and unambiguously made excuses for them and in at least one case made a false statement covering up an actual terrorist incident.
You are a terrorist supporter of the terrorist group LTTE, the Tamil Tigers. I’m pretty disappointed to see this go unchallenged at what presents itself as a Conservative website.
justanotherwesterner…@10:24
Awesome video!…if that is a CPC production they’ll get my measly support in the mail!!!
Check it out folks…no puffin poop!
Monford, don’t know which of the series of debates you were at,or have watched, However, I never saw Hitch get “smoked” at any of them. As former colleagues of the “shinning” tomorrow Galloway and Hitch, for that matter have done the same crap for so long its, rather redundant, sorry, nothing new. Powerful speaker, Galloway? perhaps, speaking total crap, absolutely. Kinda like the sound of one hand clapping. To the masses that adore his rubbish. The man is total crap, and he is more than happy to sue you for saying anything about it. It fuels his passion for idiocy, and for that matter, his passion for nancy clothing. A total wanker.
From Wikipedia
Education and early life
“Kenney was born in Ontario and raised in Saskatchewan. He/She graduated from the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, a Catholic, co-educational, boarding high school located in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. He/She studied philosophy at the St. Ignatius Institute of the University of San Francisco, a private Roman Catholic university founded by the Society of Jesus, however, Kenney dropped out before completing his undergraduate degree to begin work in Saskatchewan provincial politics.”
He/She??? WTF???
Anyways, I’m happy with Harper, and happy that Kenney is there.
Same here, had enough of fiberals and UN types with their al-taqiyya experts ramming their twisting lies down our throats. Hollow galloway embraces our enemies and their acts of murdered of the innocent. Steals ample money to keep it all going as well. Keep the criminals out of Canada, we have enough already.
Very thankful for Kenny’s common sense on this.
Sadly it brings Gorgeous George the attention he craves.
We can only hope he is a one day story. Being prevented from coming to Canada isnt an easy thing to do.
Seems the Border patrol has grown a pair. It wont just be the minister, who generally doesnt get involved in these decisions.

Tokyo Rose probably wouldn’t have been allowed. Lord Haw Haw likely would have met the same fate. As far as replacing PMSH, without a majority it would make no difference, Kenney can be next, then Wall. WK provocateurs can go try make Iggy a man.
Bravo Jason Kenny. Please ban for life the pious gas bag George Galloway. Hooray. Nobody can do self righteous indignation like that jackass.
Jason Kenny is gaining respect!
John Luft nailed it……..Galloway would have been in the front pew when Geert Wilders was banned from the UK.
Hmmmmm fun when the shoes on the other foot, no? Good for the Harper govnt again.
Ignatieff weighs in on the matter,from cbc.—“”If he is being barred on free speech grounds that is an outrage,” said Ignatieff. “He can come to Canada and talk rubbish all day long as far as I’m concerned.”— Michael Ignatieff,not a leader.
“Are you sure it’s worth blowing your credibility as a free speecher over this?”
Well it’s so obvious the left side of a leftards brain never functions but here’s a little secret. This issue has nothing to do with free speech. Try looking up “enemy” or “supporting terrorists” or something like that. Use Google if that helps.

I don’t see any JDL there..so consider yourself fact checked. Behold the awesome power of google retard. The only Jewish group even listed is Kach and the Jewish Defense league is not one of its aliases.
If he was Canadian let him speak, yell, or make a CNFB film.. Being an import why do we have to listen to foreign fascists when we have so many of our own? Free speech should be for everyone here, but having a British national speak against our war effort & troops for our enemy is just plain nuts.
Probably totally wrong but when I first read this I thought it may be retaliation for the Brits banning another foreign Parliamentarian who is pro Israel. Geert Wilders. As we all know is not on the side of Jihad.
That would speak well in my opinion, of Harpers crew. If there is one thing this government has stayed almost 100% on. Its Israel. In that regard PM. Harper has been fearless. Jason Kenny I think has seen the light when it comes to anti-Zionist protests, as just more Islamist propaganda. Frankly I don’t think any group ought to be subsidized by tax dollars. There own folks should pay the tab. If they can’t support it than obviously it ain’t much of a cause is it, if even popular?
JMO
I also think it shouldn’t even be worthy of mentioning that barring entry to the country of a seditious terrorist sympathizer like Galloway isn’t a ‘free speach issue”. The fellow brags about raising money for illegal terrorist organizations why on earth should we let that sort of riff raff into our country – although I’ll second the call that we should allow him in and promptly arrest him.
The JDL isn’t banned in Canada and never has been. Monford is totally out to lunch
From the article:
“We’re going to uphold the law, not give special treatment to this infamous street-corner Cromwell who actually brags about giving ‘financial support’ to Hamas, a terrorist organisation banned in Canada,” he said. “I’m sure Galloway has a large Rolodex of friends in regimes elsewhere in the world willing to roll out the red carpet for him. Canada, however, won’t be one of them.”
George Galloway should be in the jailhouse, certainly not traveling anywhere outside the Uk! The man made a fortune in the oil for $$ scandal that he, his Liberano-type left wing pals (in Canada), and hard left goons from UN, USA, and GB…raked off the backs of the people in Saddam’s Iraq. http://www.slate.com/id/2170981/nav/navoa/ – 44k .
Jason Kenny was absolutely correct to ban him from Canada. Bravo Jason.
We have an excellent Prime Minister – no replacement should be even considered by sane people.
poor iggy…pathetically trying to make even a handful of political hay….i find him as contemptible and risible a pol as taliban jack….he simply can’t make the intellectual vault from political correctness to a principled stand….i’m convinced the man is ignorant of events on the point as they have developed over the last decades…..i don’t suppose he’s ever heard of the international conspiracy to use lawfare to undermine our institutions and our conviction in their rightness…i KNOW we in the West are superior in thought word and deed….and i really doubt he’s ever heard of Podhoretz and WW4….and yet he considers himself an intellectual…?
so what motivates a putzenheimer like the two dicks in the last para ?
Despite his bragging in a speech he just gave in Winnipeg — “I am an academic” — Ignatieff struck me as embarrassingly uninformed.
He rattled off a list of accomplishments that, apparently, Winnipegers had pulled off and came across as a total phony. The problem is, it’s clear that someone else put the list together for him to read off and that he, actually, doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about.
His darting eyes and languid arrogance simply rankle. I sense that the more Canadians see of him, the more unpalatable he will become.
When he started to dis Prime Minister Stephen Harper, my husband switched to another channel.
“The JDL isn’t banned in Canada and never has been. Monford is totally out to lunch”
Well, if the FBI is to be believed,perhaps they should be banned. But lets not hold that against Shaidle. Freedom of speech is only for the priviliged few who agree with us.
“Jewish Defense League
Investigation by the Los Angeles JTTF revealed that Irving Rubin and Earl Krugel were active members of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a known violent extremist Jewish Organization. A Cooperating Witness reported statements made by Rubin and Krugel indicating a plan to attack the Islamic Muslim Public Affairs Council (IMPAC) office in Los Angeles or possibly the California office of United States Congressman Darrell Issa. Statements made by Kruger indicated the motivation for the attack was to serve as a “wake up call” to the Muslim Community. Rubin and Krugel were arrested by members of the Los Angeles JTTF for conspiring to build and place an improvised explosive device at the IMPAC office.”

So how about we all have a go at Ms. Shaidle for promoting an organization that likes committing terrorist attacks. Whats that I hear? Sounds like silence.
Galloway is a nutjob, but theres no shortage of nutjobs allowed into this country. He doesn’t plan to stay, and there are, ostensibly, Canadian citizens who would like to meet him (why else was he coming here?). Instead we have a government that disagrees with his political views, so hes disallowed. If that isn’t arbitrary, what is?
As for freedom and speech and all that, people here love waxing lyrical about them, but when it comes to freedom of expression of those Canadians who want to see Galloway here for whatever reason, the concepts go flying out of the window. The protestations here are really quite pathetic.
You all say you support terrorism, but how many will criticise the JDL or Shaidle? Its this kind of petty and vindictive governance that gives the Tories a bad name.
galloway is easily one of the most ignorant assholes to ever crawl off the BritishIsles, but to deny him his horrible idiotic words on national security grounds is xenophobic, at least.
Let the hopeless pathetic freak throwup and the people decide, not the effing state.
howsabout just banning the cockroach from coming here….and just looking at it as US putting one across THEIR bow….?
just to show them we’re NOT pussies or pushovers….just to make georgie boy look bad…and to hopefully ruin his day..and piss him off…or just to piss ANYONE off…to make soharwardy and elmo look over their shoulders….stuff like that….
It is interesting to see all the muddled thinking from some. The only way one can justify that it is a free speech issue is if one believes in a one world government with completely open borders and with no country having sovereignty and control over its borders.
Fortunately we are not there yet, so Canada retains the right to deny entry to those considered to pose a threat to national security.
Most of the commentors here support the Tamil Tigers terrorist group and their right to hold terrorist rallies on Parliament Hill, should they be banned from Canada too?
ET for example aids and abets the Tamil Tigers with her strong support of them and their right to rally on Parliament, and nobody here seems to have a problem with that.
So that’s two terrorist organizations that SDA commentors support, JDL and Tamil Tigers, just off the top of my head. This terrorism concept, which not incidentally has its providence in Lenin’s USSR, seems more trouble than it is worth if we’re only going to use it as a political tool when convenient.
Don’t shoot the messenger, kids, I’m not the one who supports the JDL and the Tamil Tigers here, and if I don’t point it out someone else will.
Galloway got banned because he is an amazingly powerful speaker; ask Hitch what happens to people who take on Galloway in a debate, they get smoked. Kenney just made Galloway a free speech martyr and the effects of that will be felt long after this government leaves office.

Sorry, Monford, and others. The free speech meme that you use is a red herring. This is not an issue of free speech at all. It’s an issue of Canada exercising her sovereignty over who she allows to enter. Period.
Let me put it another way: Galloway is perfectly free to spew his hateful screed in this country….via satellite video feed. There is nothing stopping him from doing so, just not in person.
So, please stop with the (frankly lame) posturing trying to paint this as an issue of free speech. It doesn’t hold water.
monford – I think that you should stick to the facts and don’t betray your complete ignorance.
I don’t ‘aid and abet Tamil Tigers’. Prove it. I support the right of free speech of people of Tamil descent who are citizens of Canada. I bet you think that any and all Tamils in Canada are members of “Tamil Tigers’, don’t you. Heh. Try to think once in a while. Ignorance isn’t a virtue.
And as others have pointed out, as well as myself, refusing Galloway entrance has zilch to do with free speech. He’s not a Canadian citizen; the Charter doesn’t apply to him. Not even one article applies to him. The issue is whether or not he is, in common terms, a rabble-rouser and likely to promote violence when he is here. Since he IS a rabble-rouser and this is irrelevant of his speech topic, and a foreign one at that, then, we don’t need him.
Readers can read ET’s brave defense of the Tamil Tigers and their right to have a terrorist rally on Parliament Hill here:
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=10997#comment-371401
“The Sri Lanka have been violent in their repression of this separatist movement…not all Tamil are terrorists and the ones in Toronto were rallying, peacefully”
(Not true, by the way, they forcefully shut down traffic with the threat of violence just like the Mohwks did. Seems to happen a lot in Canada. Anyway, ET just told a verifiable lie in defense of a terrorist group.)
“It is notable that Tamil in India, which treats them differently than they are treated in Sri Lanka, are not advocating separation or violence.”
Nobody disagreed with her, either, so it is fair to call this website one that supports the Tamil Tigers terrorist organization. Hell, if I had a blog and someone wrote what ET wrote it would be ban city, and if I were a commenter I’d set here straight, but then again I don’t support terrorists.
ET, when it was brought to your attention that there was a terrorist rally on Parliament Hill, your response was not “Holy sh*t that’s wrong!”, like a normal person, but instead you clearly and unambiguously made excuses for them and in at least one case made a false statement covering up an actual terrorist incident.
You are a terrorist supporter of the terrorist group LTTE, the Tamil Tigers. I’m pretty disappointed to see this go unchallenged at what presents itself as a Conservative website.
justanotherwesterner…@10:24
Awesome video!…if that is a CPC production they’ll get my measly support in the mail!!!
Check it out folks…no puffin poop!
And for all the Canadians who are Jason Kenney fans…more great news!
WTHT…not just the title.

Monford, don’t know which of the series of debates you were at,or have watched, However, I never saw Hitch get “smoked” at any of them. As former colleagues of the “shinning” tomorrow Galloway and Hitch, for that matter have done the same crap for so long its, rather redundant, sorry, nothing new. Powerful speaker, Galloway? perhaps, speaking total crap, absolutely. Kinda like the sound of one hand clapping. To the masses that adore his rubbish. The man is total crap, and he is more than happy to sue you for saying anything about it. It fuels his passion for idiocy, and for that matter, his passion for nancy clothing. A total wanker.
From Wikipedia
Education and early life
“Kenney was born in Ontario and raised in Saskatchewan. He/She graduated from the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, a Catholic, co-educational, boarding high school located in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. He/She studied philosophy at the St. Ignatius Institute of the University of San Francisco, a private Roman Catholic university founded by the Society of Jesus, however, Kenney dropped out before completing his undergraduate degree to begin work in Saskatchewan provincial politics.”
He/She??? WTF???
Anyways, I’m happy with Harper, and happy that Kenney is there.
Same here, had enough of fiberals and UN types with their al-taqiyya experts ramming their twisting lies down our throats. Hollow galloway embraces our enemies and their acts of murdered of the innocent. Steals ample money to keep it all going as well. Keep the criminals out of Canada, we have enough already.
Very thankful for Kenny’s common sense on this.
