When did it stand for anything other than sensationalism, and cash flow for Ezra's libel suits?

I agree. The Constitution protects speech you don't like and it protects people who are unpopular.

Anyone who doesn't think likewise either doesn't understand the Constitution (and I can forgive their ignorance), or else they're an enemy of the Constitution and they should be treated accordingly.

Whoa, Sparky...there's lots of lefty-anarchist types on 4Chan, too. That's why I rarely visit that place.

That's 'cherry picking' Bart. Include the context, and the constitutional protection for free speech dissolves.

"They are not equivalent," he said in an interview.

"Black Lives Matter and (anti-fascists) need to be called out for their problems, but a Nazi, is a Nazi, is a Nazi. And I think we all agree that Nazis are bad."

Even US Courts agree that the right to free speech does not extend to where another persons' right to safety and security are violated. Chanting "Blood and Soil" is not free speech, it is hate speech.

In the beginning it stood for holding federal and provincial governments accountable unlike your bias Lamestream Media.

In the beginning, I remember Ezra making up stories like the Alberta NDP were going to steal/cancel Christmas, or that fake interview with a 'random oil worker', or fake Stats Can papers that never existed. Sensationalist, and untrue. I haven't seen anything change since. That he lets a person who cheered the death of 2000 people and wished for the death of many more is a sign of that.

When the rebel fails, like several other Ezra attempts at 'Journalism' and 'Lawyering', it will be because Ezra lacks integrity and is only interested in stoking his own ego.

Fuck him. All that's happened is that he got caught again in one of his own traps that he keeps merrily setting with all the malice and duplicity that he goes about with in every single one of his endeavours. If this is the event that finally brings him down once and for all then it's good.

The shenanigans overtaking Rebel Media took another strange turn when the founder went public with a claim that he's being blackmailed.

Ezra Levant wrote a lengthy essay on the right-wing website providing the details.

He's alleging that there were repeated demands for money from former Rebel Media employees in the United Kingdom.

But one of those former employees, Caolan Robertson, has posted his own account of the story on YouTube, which differs significantly from Levant's version.

Robertson included taped audioclips of Levant speaking, which Levant said was done without his knowledge.

In the meantime, iPolitics has reported that more than 250 companies and institutions have "confirmed they will pull their ads from Rebel Media, according to an online group that targets far-right websites".

He recorded the conversation . . . like a real reporter would! Oops! Busted again!

Even the ACLU differs with you. So do I.

That's because there's no place for hate speech laws under our Constitution.

Period.

If posting the video again makes you feel better knock yourself out.
Faith Goldy and Gavin McInnes are gone from the Rebel, Laura Loomer should be next.

I take no joy in it, but if half of what Coalan says in that video is true (the half that he doesn't have Ezra recorded as saying), Ezra is done. If the CRA doesn't get him, his backers demanding accountability will.

I always suspected Ezra was a schiester, and that just confirms it.

[DrCaleb]

Srsly, a story that UKIP rigged the ballot, and Ezra killed it? WTF??

[N_Fiddledog]

As always, there are 2 sides to every story.

The other side to the tale told by Caolan and his boyfriend is they are blackmailers, and the victim stopped coughing up.



Ezra should never have given them a nickel (farthing?). That was his crime. He took bad advice.
