E-FLAP #000004 - I Smell The Next Ezra Levant Defamation Suit Warming Up

I figured when Alberta Oil magazine pen the column that Ezra was full Alberta Cow Poop, read it here:

Better than Ezra

Ezra Levant wants to blame job cuts and capital spending decisions on the NDP government. Here's why he's wrong

I figured Ezra would one of two things

1. Ignore it like it never happened and hope people didn't notice it, or
2. Make a video and do a complete Ad Hominem attack video, attacking the messenger while completely ignoring what was said.

I has me Stoopid wig on

And the answer is #2  Not only does Ezra come out with both Ad Hominem Guns a blazing he also does absolutely nothing to refute the Analysis of Alberta Oil Magazine, hell he doesn't even doesn't even mention what was said at all.  Nope, instead Ezra puts on his Stoopid wig and goes,... man I can even describe this, it is just that pathetic.  Seriously, you have see it to believe it.

 

I know I shouldn't send you to Ezra's Youtube page (or in the case of Ezra YouBoob), but this one is worth it.  Seriously, if Ezra continues this behavior, he may be looking at yet another malicious defamation law suit.

Anyways, if you managed to watch the entire video (lord knows I suffered through it) leave a comment and let me know what you think.

E-FLAP #000003 - Theo Caldwell, The Burning Hypocrisy is only out shone by the Burning STOOPID

Theo Caldwell, one of The Rebel Media's useful *cough* writers and RWNJ Sycophant is truly a piece of work.  His burn hypocrisy is only shadow by his BURNING STOOPID.  Case in point, this article

Only Justin need apply

I dare you to read the entire thing, lord know I did and I ignored my brain begging me to stop. Lets look at some of the hypocrisy and BURNING STOOPID shall we

Specifically, as the 43-year-old Justin, who can claim no accomplishment other than surviving childbirth, is granted near-dictatorial federal power,

"granted near-dictatorial federal power" um, two words Stephen Harper. (drops mic and walks off stage)...  Ok, I'm back, there is more, so Theo, what was Harper's major accomplishments? Well he was an Economics Student, a mail room clerk, then an MP and then PM.  Seriously Trudeau can claim a lot more that that.  Oh, and there is one more claim Harper can make, he had his ass handed to him by a guy who can claim no accomplishment other than surviving childbirth and just wasn't ready.

The quickest explanation is that, unlike you, Justin inherited a kajillion dollars and the Liberal Party of Canada and, when he was good and ready, took up his post in the family business.
You couldn’t surpass Justin from a standing start any more than you could run a bigger cable company than Ed Rogers, or a larger grocery chain than Galen Weston, Jr.
Even as a scion of another political family, the son of a successful, recent prime minister, that tack won’t work if you’re a Conservative

Um, two words, Rob Ford!  Jesus Theo, you have the memory retention of a screen door, everything just plows through and just the useless dirt an lint seem stick.  Seriously, how about the Ford Brother Theo, ever heard of them?  But lets continue,...

If a Conservative leadership candidate were as dazed and underqualified as Justin, he would be hooted off the stage.

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus sporting a Ford Nation Tee-Shirt.  THE FORDS

Rather, to be successful in anything like the near future, Conservatives must be different from anything we have seen before, innovative, visionary, funny, and engaging. Most important, they must refuse to play by the media’s rules.

(I mustn't swear, I mustn't swear) Theo, if current Conservatives need to be "innovative, visionary, funny, and engaging" then you and the conservative movement in Canada as it stands right now are totally screwed.  As for "they must refuse to play by the media’s rules", yeah they got down pat, they avoid the media, refuse to take questions and then cry about "The Media Party"

I could go on, but the rest of Theo's article just goes off into a Trump-utopia lala land of magical fairies, unicorns and RAGING CASE OF TRUDEAU DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.  Theo is some sort of investment guru or something, if you have any money managed by this clown, get out now before he looses it all for you.  Cause if his financial advice is anything like his political analysis and advice, you are truly screwed.

Oh and just a side not Theo Overqualified is a word, Underqualified is not.  Now I know I am the very last person who should go all spelling cop on your arse, but if you are going to sell yourself as a great Conservative Opinionist, you might want to use a freaking spell checker.  As for me, I am just A Grumpy Hobbit, with horrible spelling, grammar and a spell-checker.

E-FLAP #000003 - Free Speech Warrior Ezra Levant

Ezra Levant likes to bill himself as Canada's Free Speech Warrior.  So how does Ezra celebrate different opinions on his Rebel Facebook page?  Come on, take a guess,...

If you guessed by censoring people and blocking them, then you are correct, you may have one cookie and a cup of tea.

Ok, lets be honest and fair here, I fully understand blocking and censoring people who are rude, use excessive vulgar language, name call and the like.  Hey no problem, those type of people are not interest in debate, dialog or advancing ideas.  To be honest that is the policy here at A Grumpy Hobbit.  Now that being said, I want to make it clear that when I was posting over on Ezra's Rebel Facebook page, I never engaged in name call, insults and nor did I use profanity (well I did say bullshit a few times).  I always remained polite, provide links to back up my claims and ignored peoples taunts and insults.  During my stay there I was called a Communist, a faggot, told to F*** Off, people assumed I was a welfare leach, unemployed,... well you get the idea.  Surprisingly all these rude and vulgar people are still posting over at the Rebel.

I guess I was banned for being disruptive,... you know by being polite and holding a differing opinion that was always back up by verifiable facts.  Or maybe it was the fact that Ezra didn't like it when his lies and propaganda were pointed out? 

I am not done with Ezra Levant, The Rebel and that collection of RWNJs, not by a long shot.

Calling for Submissions of Your Favorite Ezra Fabrication, Lies and Propaganda (E-FLAP)

Well the burning stoopid over at The Rebel Media seems not be lacking for fuel, with the likes of

1. The Rebel Commander and Chief, Ezra Levant
2. Chief Bottle Washer, Brian Lilley
3. I'm Suppose to Be Funny, But I Ain't, Gavin Mcinnes
4. We Might Actually Be Funny, Matt & Jason
5. Seriously, Like WTF, David Menzies
6. The Crazy Wild West, Shiela (Bang Bang) Gunn Reid
7. and a list of others I have not had the stomach to listen to or read yet.

I have seriously under estimated the massive volume of bovine solid waste emissions that are produced over at The Rebel Media.  Of course I completely forgot to their Bottom of the Barrel Scrapings with their Megaphone Bloggers, with such notable names like;

1. Richard Klagsbrun
2. Michael Bonner (giggle)
3. Mindy Alter(reality)
4. Mitch (the boy who cried) Wolfe
5. Neil Flagg, Ford Nation Sycophant and Howler Monkey Trainer.
6. Tim (not on the) Ball
7. Dean (I'm crazier than bat poop) Skoreyko
8. Blazing Cat(Turd)Fur, jesus are these two still around?
9. and many more that I have no wish to read, but will

It really is the who's who of the Canadian RWNJs.  The volume of crazy is more than one person can keep track of and record.  In my latest Rebel Rousing, where I very politely point out the facts about Ezra's less than sterling reputation with the truth and facts I was challenged to provide a list of his past, how shall we say it,... less than honest stories and actions.  Seven came to mind without needing to do da Googly, but you know, I'd like to have an over abundance of ammo.

So if you happen to have a Ezra Story where he made it up, embellished the facts or lied about it please leave me the details in the comment section.  But why stop there, also include any BS stories from the defunk and failed Sun News Network or from any of the wackjobs list above.  I might not be able to write about them all, but it would be nice to compile a list.  If you can provide links to sources that would be great, but if required, I will do da Googling.

Thanks in advance for all tips and leads.

E-FLAP #000002 - Sweet Lord Baby Jesus on a Crutch The Burning STUPID!

So I am over at Ezra's Rebel Media Facebook page calling out Ezra on his biased bullshit as usual, and I get ask to provide ten stories where Ezra's E-FLAPs(1).  So I provide a short list of seven topics off the top of my head (no googling, just seven that come to mind at that moment in time)  The list I provide below, pay attention to the one I highlighted.

And this is where the drooling stoopid begins.  One of Ezra's ubber fangirls provides a link to the very story at Ezra went off about. 

So i actually take the time to watch the whole video clip, you know, checking my facts and due diligence, making sure my memory of what was said was accurate and that rot,  Not to be out done, Karen doubles down on her stoopid and follows up with this lovely bit, my immediate response follows.

I politely point out that Karen is mistaken, and provide the actual quite from the video.  Wait, it gets better, Karen now insists on tripling down on her drooling STOOPID.

Yup she, she either invent that quote or spliced together two different quotes to make the false one she provided or she has a very serious comprehension problem, and this is AFTER I already provided the exact quote from the video.  I seriously can not tell if she knowingly manufacturing false quotes or if she so mind numbingly stoopid to see her own error, even after the correct quote was provided to her just one post prior *yeah, I am repeating that cause this is so mind numbingly idiotic on her part.

So either Karen

1. Has the reading/listening and comprehension level of a first grader, come on six year olds make these types of mistakes all the time, or
2. She is a bold face liar.

Either option explains perfectly Ezra's target audience. 

Let me tell you this, I am exercising extreme restraint in my writing over there at the Rebel Media Facebook page and here.  One year ago my language and tone would be some what different, and that is putting it politely.

(1) E-FLAP - Ezra Fabrication, Lies and Propaganda

Day Two of the The Rebel Media E-FLAP

Well, The Rebel Media doesn't disappoint.  It is now my second day of E-FLAP, Ezra Fabrication, Lies and Propaganda (E-FLAP) and we already have two more additions to the catalog. 

First we have a Rebel Blogger Sid Camus and his hit piece on marijuana, it has AUTHORITATIVE STUDIES (you can see where I am going with this one)

Then we have the Chief Propaganda Minister, Ezra on why Shell canceled one of the Alberta Tarsands projects.  SPOILER ALERT: It's all the Alberta NDP's fault.

So stay tuned people, the articles are coming as soon as I can write them, which you know, requires actual fact checking and a degree of actual journalistic integrity, unlike The Rebel.

Ezra Levant - The Bestest Honestest Mostest Reporter (E-FLAP #000001)

So I have been told by one of Ezra's fangirls, that Ezra always corrects himself and apologizes when he makes an error.  I called bullshit, and I think it is high time to start keeping tracking, documenting all the times Ezra and his peons at The Rebel (Reb-Bull) Media do one of the following;

1. Make stuff up
2. Grossly embellish the facts
3. Outright lie

Now for the record this is Sam, Conplaining to me that Ezra and Brain and The Reb-Bull Media are just the bestest and mostest honestest media out there.

CHALLENGE EXCEPT - Lets keep track. 




Now I could go digging through all of Ezra's bullshit from the past, but why bother.  Let just keep track from this point moving forward.  I am sure I'll have a clear cut case in a week or so,... Just kidding, I already have an outright example of Ezra Fabrication, Lies and Propaganda (E-FLAP)

First off, this not 10 million to redecorate, it is 10 million to repair the place.  Oh, I am sure they will do some redecoration too at the same time.

Secondly, this is not a number Trudeau invented, it from the AG Report from 2008,... you know, the one that was given to Harper back in 2008.  Since Harper did nothing, I am sure the number will be even higher now, but that's what you get when you ignore urgent repairs and upkeep on a home.

Auditor says 24 Sussex falling apart; Harper will stay put

 Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not move his family out of 24 Sussex Drive, the prime minister’s official residence, even though Canada’s auditor general says the house is falling apart and in urgent need of millions of dollars of repairs.

These facts are well know to Ezra, but hey if he wants to claim that he is ignorant of this, then why should we trust someone who is so blatantly ignorant of Harper's recent political history, we can only concluded that Ezra is mentally retarted.  So either Ezra is lying through his teeth by omitting key well know and well documented facts or he is mental retarted.

Not many of Ezra's Reb-Bull Media fans are buying into this bullshit story and have called him out. Though it is also far to point out many of Ezra dumber/brain dead fans did fall for this. Ezra still has not corrected the record or apologized for this baseless political attack on Trudeau.

I expect I will be wrting a lot of material on this and I am sure that I will miss a lot to, since you know,... Ezra.  This is going to be easy and a lot fun. I wonder what Ezra will make up next?
