Comedian faces human rights hearing in Canada after lesbian jokes [NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN CANADA]
Vancouver Sun ^ | Jun 25 08 | David Wylie

A Canadian stand-up comedian will face a human rights tribunal hearing after a woman complained she and her friends faced a "tirade of homophobic and sexist comments" while attending one of his shows.

In a decision released this week, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled there is enough evidence to hear the case of Vancouver woman Lorna Pardy against Toronto comedian Guy Earle. Zesty's Restaurant in Vancouver, where the May 22, 2007, show took place, was also named in the complaint. The restaurant has since closed.

Every single patriotic Canadian needs to file a complaint against someone. That is the only way these Nazis will throw their hands up in the air and quit.

The BC HRT (kangaroo court) is itself a COMEDY SHOW and infinitely more offensive than almost any standup comic banter with hecklers.

I hope may of you followed the Steyn case.

VERY ORWELLIAN

Now you're catching on to what's so terribly strange about Obama. He lets slip every now and then that his "present" is different than our "present". His state count worked perfectly if you admit Puerto Rico and each Canadian province EXCEPT Quebec (which is presumably a foreign country in Obama's present).

The dude is obviously a time traveler making a visit to the past to create havoc so that he can be rich and powerful in the future.

Hope you enjoy the next decade under President Obama and his black liberation socialist utopia.

See? George Carlin dies and there are suddenly a whole bunch more words you can't say--not just on TV but anywhere.

Pathetic thin-skinned fascist lesbos.

“The Mississippi River broke through a protective dike today...What is a protective dike? Is it a large woman that says ‘Don’t go near there!’ ‘But Betty—’ ‘Don’t go near there! Don’t go down by the river!’... No, we can’t say ‘dyke’ on the air, we can’t even say ‘lesbian’ anymore, it’s ‘women in comfortable shoes’...thank you!”

I'm sure I won't...just like I don't like our continual Statist downslide.

And I suppose you'd attack Charlton Heston's memory because the NRA has worked with the ACLU, or that guns have been misused (in crime).

Plus, I know people who have worked for agencies of the same government that fights to protect NAMBLA's right to espouse its despicable views.

I should probably hold them and their views in contempt, except for the fact that I think a bit more deeply than that, to understate it.

I got a look at this gentleman on You Tube. He is explaining his act to a thankfully sympathetic cheerful crew.

A few extra items, it was on a Tuesday and things were slow. He was trying to draw down the evening and sort of wrap it up. Two women came in and were pretty well on with drinks (no harm of course). He alleged they were "tongue and tonsil wrestling". He says he absolutely did not care. Then they started to heckle. He made this rather daring statement to them.

Neither of you are real lesbians. Fat and ugly,you just have to do that, because no guy will(expletive) you.

It got worse from there, including the "chest thing"- I presume challenging the man to a brawl.

Perhaps the man will jump start quite a career. He does have a sense of humour.

I have been to stand up comedy across the river in Michigan. Not my thing but..... Hey, Loretta Lynn's coming in July.

Hate all PC nazis and what they represent - no matter if they are from Canada or right here at home; ie. those whose hands lay heavier over our freedoms - by creaping, leaping measures - every day.

You can bet for certain; should the 'Left' win in November; neighborhood tribunals will be the next great idea to keep us safe in the 'hood'; while they disassemble 'real threats' to our Freedoms; such as the Patriot Act.

Maybe he is the mysterious “Mullet Man” The time traveler who can go back and forth in time. I think he may well be just an opportunist low level political hack out of his water.

Did you read the thread about Lesbos Island? The real Lesbians are complaining about the name being misappropriated for female homosexuals.

Nor do I, but you have to pick your battles or risk losing the war.

As was pointed out during Steyn’s Kangaroo hearing, the Human Rights Commission has found every single defendant guilty during its entire history.

Charlton didn't work FOR the ACLU/NAMBLA complex. Bob Barr did.

See the difference?

Wow. A self-absorbed lesbian with no sense of humor.

Who could have seen THAT coming??
