Do You REALLY Support Free Speech in Canada?

I've been carefully following the discussions emanating from Norman Spector's "bitch" comment. Check out some of these blogs and you'll see a very interesting trend: Most every blogger who strongly supports the federal Liberal party is very adamant that Spector should be banned from ever speaking out publicly again. This is not my opinion - go check for yourself!

On all sides of the political spectrum I don't agree with what a lot of people say, but my first inclination is not to ban them from talking. If such people that do advocate such censorship had any sense of history they would immediately cease and desist from such dangerous, anti-democratic talk. We've seen such people before. 75 years ago they wore brown shirts and spoke German.
