On Twitter, Bernie Farber had nothing to say about the Muslim murderers in Woolwich yesterday:

He just promoted his article in the Ottawa Citizen about the Holocaust.

Bernie writes a lot about the Holocaust, but rarely mentions the current jihad against Jews, Christians and other Muslims.

“Progressives” live in the past.

I guess the horrific murder of a white Christian soldier in England YESTERDAY — the same kind of white Christian soldier who gave their lives liberating his people from concentration camps — doesn’t really capture Bernie Farber’s attention.

The murder captured my attention for sure. I was livid.

My hands are still shaking. My heart is still racing.

I spent a lot of time on Twitter yesterday, yelling at morons.

Among many other tweets, I sent out this one when speculation surrounding the Muslim killers’ identity had them pegged as Somalis:

Yo @berniefarber – I found a Somaii for you to ‘mentor’!! #interfaithdialogue ow.ly/liilC

That references this stuff.

Aw, Bernie — who had NOTHING to say, remember, about this disgusting terror attack, and whose pro-immigration enthusiasms makes such crimes more likely, was all upset like:

“Tasteless”? Sure. “Tasteless” is my confirmation name.

But “racist”?

Because, I guess, I dared to mention the “race” (or more accurately, the nationality) of a guy WITH BLOOD ON HIS HANDS WHO IS QUOTING THE KORAN AFTER SAWING A MAN’S HEAD OFF IN BROAD DAYLIGHT?

Back in the 18th century…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one:

For someone who claimed to be guided by reason and the intellect, he was blind to the havoc his unresolved anger was wreaking on innocent bystanders.

The totalitarian instinct that has typified progressive thought for centuries is a scary thing to behold, even on the smaller scale of one wealthy aristocrat’s life and property.

The reasons I personally love and cherish concepts such as liberty and free enterprise can be gleaned from such stories as Thomas Day’s.

One of those reasons is simple: one person with too much power can ruin the lives of countless others simply because he or she had a bad experience or feels bad about themselves.

Richard Klagsburn was there, and reports:

At the protest, former Liberal MP Wrzesnewskyj betrayed himself as an intellectual featherweight by comparing Ezra Levant to the unapologetic neo-Nazi Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel.

Wrzesnewskyj was one of the most anti-Israel MPs in the House of Commons while he sat there. (…)

Ms Csányi-Robah has her own odd history of engaging, on behalf of her community, with nefarious groups. She has aligned the Roma cause with radical fanatics who want an end to Israel as a Jewish state. That association has shamed a number of Canadian Roma who wanted to distance themselves from such hate. That may partially account for why she was unable to garner much support from her own community for her Tuesday protest.

It might strike some as remarkable that former Canadian Jewish Congress boss Farber would be part of such an event.  But Farber has been remaking himself recently since losing his role as one of  Canada’s top “Official Jews.” He has been using his twitter account to promote links from anti-Israel hysterics such as blogger Dr. Dawg, and the vehemently anti-Israel website rabble.ca.

Everything you need to know about Justin Trudeau.

Enjoy:

I am speaking here of human group characteristics at the ethnic or national level. Although a deeply unfashionable topic nowadays, peculiarities of national character used to supply much of our humor, from Shakespeare’s comic Welshmen to late-20th-century Polish jokes. National Lampoon did a fine compendium of the underlying stereotypes at about the last moment when it was possible to do so without being hauled off to the Ministry of Love for interrogation.

As I blogged earlier, those who doubt the existence of “mankind’s collective personalities” should ask themselves why Germany bailed out Greece and not the other way around.

Richard Klagsburn — please read the whole thing:

An unlikely group of Canadians are at the forefront of the fight for the principle that ideas should be allowed to be freely expressed while exposing the hypocrisy of the would-be censors.

They are a collection of activists and writers who have been disparagingly described by Bernie Farber,  the former Canadian Jewish Congress head and rumored successor to Ontario Human Rights Commissioner Barbara Hall, as “Bully Bloggers.”

Hmmm…
