During the Q&A, I pointed out to Galloway that in recent (Dec-Jan)anti-Israel demonstrations in places like Ft Lauderdale, LA, SF and Toronto, pro-Palestinian demonstrators had yelled things like'Long live Hitler", "Death to Jews", etc. Gallaway called me a liar as the room erupted in cheers. I pointed out to him that everything I had charged was documented on YouTube. Galloway is just one of many vicious speakers that the MSU has brought to UCI. Year in and year out, we see speakers who are anti-Israel, anti-America and anti-Jewish as well.

The man was more or less told by CBSA that he <i>may</i> be arrested at the border if he tried to enter. Under the relevant legislation, the federal minister, who happened to be Jason Kenney at the time and still is, has the prerogative of adhering to the CBSA's recommendation or not adhering to it, as he sees fit. Kenney chose to stand by the recommendation, with the effect being that had Galloway attempted to enter Canada he would have been arrested and likely tried. What the judge upheld was the interpretation of the CBSA's recommendation, namely that Galloway was in violation of Canadian law and that the Minister was within his rights to accept the recommendation put before him by the CBSA rather than overrule it. I know it's a fine point that is hardly worth arguing and you perhaps consider it a distinction without a difference, but that is not the same thing as "banned". Galloway can come in to Canada any time he wants. He just won't enjoy his stay very much. It would be like Roman Polanski setting foot in a third country with which the US has an extradition treaty. Polanski is not necessarily "banned" from that country, but he must know that if he sets foot on their soil in all likelihood he's just as cooked as he is now, maybe more so. Do you see the difference? Being eligible for arrest is not the same thing as being "banned". It is because this meme about Galloway being "banned" is all too often rolled up with all the other leftoid speaking notes involving freedom of speech, fascist Israel, Bush-Hitler, blah, blah, blah, that I try to make the facts of the issue absolutely clear.

Nothing Glavin writes is new either. What I was disputing is your claim that Galloway wasn't banned from Canada when clearly he was. Even the MSM admits it and a Canadian judge upheld his ban. You're more than free to change the subject, but when you make a claim that something in my article was factually wrong, and all evidence indicates that I was right, at least apologize for the error.

Perhaps the self-loathing Axelrod and Emanuel are sponsoring Galloway? Anyhow, I hope that there is one honest person left in the DOJ who will do the right thing.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) advised him he was afoul of Section 34(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which makes it illegal to supply funding and material support to groups deemed under Canadian law to be terrorist organizations (in this case Hamas). In other words, they did him the courtesy of warning him about what would happen should he choose to attempt entry into the country, but it was not an outright banning. Upon receiving this information, Galloway himself <i>chose</i> not to enter the country. Being the snake that he is, he wholeheartedly welcomed and promoted the leftwing outcry that started the whole "refused entry/denial of free speech" lie that has been repeated ever since, mostly by left leaning organizations for whom the cad is something of a darling. In other words, it was his tangible ties to Hamas that was the issue, not the content of his beliefs. Galloway was not “banned” from entering Canada.

He is an apologist for the previous Iraqi dictatorship and he did it for money. However, his critisism of how the war was conducted during the first 5 years was factual and correct. Something the U.S. Government has only recently accepted and of course, adapted to, which is changing our fortunes for the better so far. I am also rather prone to free speech and debate. This guy is no real threat, just an irritation, trust me. Will he damage these young OSU minds? I do not think so. I have to admit I do not like George Galloway either.
