That Would Be The Sound of Crickets Chirping

Remember the barrels of ink and the marathon of hand-wringing that accompanied the right-wing freak-outs over the putative oppression of the free speech rights of Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter? Oh, the horrors, they moaned, that we live in such country where an honest winger can’t get a break or equal time!

And yet, here have a case of an person actually being imprisoned by the state for, you know, exercising his right to free speech. This would be opposed to the other two, who as far as I know, haven’t been imprisoned in a gulag near Tuktoyuktut, and in fact have been impinged in the exercise of free speech not in the least. I’m left wondering, where’s the outrage?

Evidently the Right is more worried about the hypothetical suppression of their elite poster children, than real suppression of free speech. Maybe they’re somewhat less than sincere in their defence of constitutional rights?

Incidentally, this also goes double for the Globe and Mail.
