  1. shinny?
    That’s a new one to me.
    Anyway, I agree with Ezra, the U.S. Army should have popped him on the battlefield.
    Better than Ezra?
    I think not.

  2. Always with you, larben. I like to think that safety forced pointed out Levant’s “for Christ’s sake” (@3:10) as a “highlight” because of the sheer ludicrousness of the idiotic quote he was referring to; – Ezra as voice of sanity and all that.
    When has Levant been “quick to take umbrage” over any implausible, “thoughtless” or question-begging accusation of anti-semitism? Quite the opposite: See Ezra on “Official Jews” and “Burny Farber” et al.
    And in your word exclaiming ohferchissakes!, which is about as out of the ordinary as “drats!”, is somehow the moral or social equivalent of saying “Yid! Kike! Hebe!” Lovely.

  3. Black Mamba,
    Always with you, B.M. – It is not likely you read obscure conservative Catholic journals, looking for something to complain about, but Levant apparently does, and is not shy about criticizing Catholic take on certain matters, nor is he shy to write in and make his point known. Fair play. It is very offensive to most Christians and especially to Catholics for someone, especially in public,to mis-use the name or title of the Redeemer; especially when that person should know better. Maybe he just doesn’t give a damn? Mr. Levant, is not above playing the victim. It is part of the Jewish decalogue that thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain. The fact that Jesus is not his Messiah is no excuse for being so insensitive.

  4. Maybe he just doesn’t give a damn?
    Maybe, because Ezra has been a champion of free speech and has made the point time and again that no one has the right to not be offended by speech Ezra has chosen to be an equal opportunity blasphemer in order to demonstrate evenhandedness as a defence against the accusation that he only offends Muslims.
    Not to worry, larben, unbelievers have done much worse to my Redeemer, who was a “shinny”, and a man’s faith or faithlessness is between himself and God.
    Look after your own salvation with fear and trembling, leave the rest in God’s care.
    Philippians 2:12

  5. I’m a big Ezra fan (‘haven’t always been) and subscribed to his Western Standard, but I would have appreciated his not taking the Lord’s name in vain.
    I’m no prude, but I think it was imprudent — and rather “leftish” — of him to have used that expletive. It also shows a certain lack of imagination.

  6. …and them let’s execute Bugger, I mean Hugger. “If I was a Jew” – you Nazi shitball.

  7. As I said, I like Mr. Levant, and when he was at Western Review, he published dozens of my letters in that magazine under my proper name. All I’m saying is to tread softly if you don’t want your own dreams tread on. There are many reasons that some Muslims can justifiably be incensed at western culture, we’re none, totally innocent.

  8. we’re none, totally innocent.
    I’m a sinner, larben.
    That’s why I need the grace of Jesus.
    I’m trust that the Lord has a plan for Ezra Levant and that’s between Him and Ezra.

  9. None of the arguments here counter the fact that khadr was a minor at the time of his crime and that he was not given a trial for his crimes. George Jonas wrote a much better article than whatever blather Ezra has here. Cons love limited government until it gets in the way of something they want.

  10. Glad to hear you support a convicted terrorist, Tambora..plea bargains preclude trials..can’t have it both ways.
    Can’t plead leniency with the courts for being an orphan after shooting your parents…ya dig?
    Now crawl back to Rabble..

  11. None of the arguments here counter the fact that khadr was a minor at the time of his crime
    Omar Khadr wasn’t a minor according to the customs and laws of the country he committed his crime in.
    They marry 9 year old girls over there.

  12. Ezra Levant is my new hero. He really spoke his mind and I agreed with every word. I agree it’s a shame Khadr wasn’t killed on the battlefield. Since he unfortunately wasn’t, shame on the Americans for letting a murderer off so easily (he should be convicted and sentenced to hang by the tribunal), shame on Canada if we accept him back, and shame on the Canadian parole system because it doesn’t take psychic to predict that this killer will be out on the streets basking in the spotlights and being fawned on by the left. It will be sickening if Khadr sues the Canadian government.
