WWWTT Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Thank you. I can't see how Cheneys speech was violated. Nobody banned him nor threatened violence upon him. Cheney has a lot of heart problemd and him being kept in a hotel for 7 hours again while people protest and fight with cops is not good for his health. Thats why he isn't coming. Too much stress. Ya it sounds like a fairly simple answer for not travelling abroad. What gets me though is that this guy has a lot of controversy surrounding himself which unquestionably resulted in some of his health problems but he still wants to imply that its everyone elses fault.

DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 who threatened violence? cite me a quote threatening violence upon cheney Seven hours trapped in a theater would be enough of a cite for me. But, that's not violence...right? Just good natured fun. However, if Dick Cheney trapped YOU for seven hours...well...different story, eh? Perhaps a war crime, even.

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

However, if Dick Cheney trapped YOU for seven hours...well...different story, eh? Perhaps a war crime, even. Not one punch was thrown at Cheney.. the police handled it, so there is no threat to him personally..nobody will get close enough to touch him Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 And Toulouse is the modern equivalent of Christallnacht. You need not tell me. Just one look at the CBC's comment section on the story showed the sickening truth about anti-Semitism in Canada. Alive n' well. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
stopstaaron Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgDYFfDg5Kc you're allowed to protest controversial people who want to give speeches! that isn't a suppression of free speech, nobody banned coulter Quote Don't ban me bro.

DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Not one punch was thrown at Cheney.. the police handled it, so there is no threat to him personally..nobody will get close enough to touch him Right. It was a love convention. Well, if it happened to me, I'd be phoning the police. Either way, your goal was achieved and Cheney will not be doing any fireside chats in Canada, by the looks.

stopstaaron Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Seems like some of these posters want to suppress Canadians free speech and rights to protest to appease right wingers like the despicable Cheney & Coulter Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.

DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 You're not going to be hearing too many Canadians complaining about that. None that care about free speech, you're quite correct. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
stopstaaron Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 I prefer constructive behaviour while others prefer destructive. I like my approach better. That's funny because Cheney & Coulter both prefer destructive behaviour.. Cheney with his illegal war & Coulter with her words .. but you say you prefer "constructive behaviour" You must not be a fan of either of them too! Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
stopstaaron Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 None that care about free speech, you're quite correct. Nobody threatened either of them. There were protests and one of them got out of hand. Get the heck over it. That is not a suppression of free speech. Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.

DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Nobody threatened either of them. There were protests and one of them got out of hand. Get the heck over it. That is not a suppression of free speech. Temper. Don't go smashin' windows. Pitchforks and torches always put a damper on free exchange of ideas. Apparently change from within isn't in the ol' vocabulary. But, I do see the advantage of one using it to one's advantage. It is a shrewd tactical move. Personally, I'd rather get involved with some sort of actual solution rather than being a silly complainer and free speech suppressor. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
stopstaaron Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Pitchforks and torches There were no pitchforks or torches either Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
DogOnPorch Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) There were no pitchforks or torches either Modern day versions, yes there were. Plus, as I said before: protests of this nature aren't constructive. Instead of ponying-up, going in and asking those hard questions, they are content to scream nonsense and jibberish to a less-than-impressed world. All the while infringing on other folks' freedom by shutting down events they should have perhaps stayed away from. But, they're a selfish lot. As selfish as those they claim to oppose. Smash another window...flip another police car. Are we done? Edited March 21, 2012 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

jbg Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Seems like some of these posters want to suppress Canadians free speech and rights to protest to appease right wingers like the despicable Cheney & Coulter Shouting someone down or threatening someone isn't speech; it's misconduct.

Guest Manny Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) George Galloway is still banned from entering Canada. On the other hand, Ahmadinejad WAS allowed to speak at Columbia University in the United States, despite being an "enemy". http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=773638342167920349 Edited March 21, 2012 by Manny Quote

g_bambino Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Seems like some of these posters want to suppress Canadians free speech and rights to protest to appease right wingers like the despicable Cheney & Coulter Seems like many protesters want to suppress Canadians' and others' free speech so as to uphold far-left philosophies and the supporters thereof. Cheney gives me the creeps and Coulter is an idiot, but I can still see the hypocricy on display when those who'd shout down anyone with whom they don't agree (like Cheney and Coulter) whinge about their right to free speech being denied when they aren't allowed to shout down anyone with whom they don't agree.
