    Are you under the impression that he was under a travel visa?

    Australians think they are better than Americans.

    All these questions and you won't answer one of mine despite my question simply being a clarification of your question.

    Well, I guess you're reneging on your agreement.

    No . . . the example you gave was completely different . . . so either you didn't intend for your example to be relevant or didn't care. But, hey, if you never actually cared about your example being relevant and your answer was completely unrelated . . . then, yeah, we can move on to the other stuff.

    You wanted a question answered and I answered it. Just because you don't like the answer, don't mean it wasn't answered.

    It wasn't an answer . . . unless you are saying the image was entirely unrelated. If that's the case, then yes, I'll respond to the one-word answer that could actually be relevant . . . as long as you are not pretending the image is related.

    It's kind of a left-wing characteristic, they share it universally.

    Its crazy to expect everyone to know their government is banning entry to people based on their voiced opinions.

    Its crazy to say they didn't care when they knew of one or some just because you didn't hear about them caring.

    Its crazy to call people hypocrites on that basis.

    My country allowed the war criminal and genocider Benjamin Netanyahu come speak DIRECTLY TO CONGRESS! I never heard of anyone being barred entry for their speach before, and knowing that such a monster was given the podium only affirmed in my mind that the U.S. government wasn't doing that. But now I learn they are and its GARBAGE!

    If you “saw no evidence” you didn’t read very carefully.

    From the links:

    “In 2005, the U.S. State Departmentdeclared Meyssan a persona non gratadue to his active promotion of misinformation about the United States.”

    “In 2011, after being detained and interrogated at JFK Airport, Stewart was barred from entering the United States for undisclosed reasons believed to be linked with his campaigning.[

    They and Nelson Mandela are all named here.

    Unlike MAGA, I don’t post lies. I can back up what I say.

    Candace is welcome to free speech. There's a thing about free speech - you're still not immune to the effects of that speech. But, of course, Candice is welcome to 'free' speak away.

    By the way she's considered a hard-right extremist. Funny how nobody mentiones that. Inculcated by Trump to see her incendiary talk as normal.

    I am plagairizing and mangling an old joke about the Soviet Union but:

    Mike, an American, travelled to Switzerland in 1984. There he met Yuri, a man from the Soviet Union, in a bar. Mike says, "In America we have the freedom of speech. We can say whatever we want, even say bad things about the President and the government." Yuri responds, " In the Soviet Union, we ALSO have freedom of speech! We can say whatever we want, we can even say bad things about the Premier and the Kremlin. But what we don't have, is freedom AFTER speech!"

    I don't think you have any idea how much of an authoritarian you sound like. Others might misuse terms like fascist or communist, but what they mean is authoritarian. If you won't tolerate freedom AFTER speech, I think we should all feel compelled to marginalize you, esp. here at a discussion forum.

    Well in Candice's case it was a case of nipping her 'freedom' BEFORE speech. She won't get to give that divisive right-wing woke speech on Australian shores.

    Australians have a prevention is better than cure philosophy. And before you squawk this applies to both Nazis and illegal immigrants. Universally applicable ;)

    (sigh) No. She spoke on the internet. The result is she is punished after speaking, and you approve.

    It's true that the Visa situation arose from her past behavior. But I don't think it was about punishment. More about protecting Australia's national interests. We're honestly not that complicated.

    I think you are repeating yourself. The claim of protecting Australia's national interest from words is completely absurd. The fact is its the opposite. Australia's national interests are being harmed in favor of the interests of politicians and other plutocrat scum, or so those calling the shots think. They don't care about you. They scrape you off their heel like something they stepped in at the park.
