		<description>Why does the left want to shut down debate and the right welcome it? Did Rex say shut up the Soozoo&#039;s of the world? No. Sooz said that as did many of the free speech fakes posting their hate here.

Denying free speech won&#039;t deny the truth.</description>

		<description>Rex has every right to voice his opinion. Just because you don&#039;t agree with him does not mean the rest of us are not allowed to hear what he has to say. We are not children for God&#039;s sake.

You should rename your site. Being informed with only one point of view is a joke!

And in lieu of climategate, I&#039;m all for fact checking.</description>

		<description>By coincidence Rick Salutin’s column in the Globe this morning provided a good perspective on how the debate on climate change has become so polarized.  Rick is clearly not a climate change denier so hopefully we can avoid “pillarizing” him as some did with poor Rex.  The salient quote from his column was: “people with a passionate political cause often think all those that disagree with them are crazy (or evil).  They believe their issue is uniquely critical to the future or to survival.&quot;  You can read the whole article at:  www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/climategates-not-evil-its-just-unhinged/article1396256/</description>

		<description>Dave - I was a **volunteer** presenter for the Climate Project. Big difference between that and being paid to push a position, no? Also, I ended up being a presenter, a Green Party of Canada candidate, and an activist generally **after** doing the research and discovering that global warming is real and dangerous.

As to your other point about climate scientists agreeing with Murphy, that is ridiculous. Keep telling that lie often enough and it will still never be true. I have interviewed many climate scientists on my radio show, and they all are very concerned about the danger posed by global warming. If Murphy could find real scientists who agree with him, he wouldn&#039;t need the services of the shills McIntyre and McKitrick, would he?</description>

		<description>I find it ironic that you&#039;re trying to discredit Rex Murphy as being in bed with big oil and you fail to mention that you were a presenter for Al Gore&#039;s Climate Project. How honest of you.

Murphy&#039;s commentary has nothing to do with big oil or Canadian climate scientists. I would be surprised if you could find a Canadian climate scientist who doesn&#039;t agree with what he&#039;s saying. To my knowledge, he didn&#039;t get any facts wrong, so I&#039;m not sure what you&#039;re ranting about. I think it&#039;s called denial. 

As it turns out, the voices you&#039;ve been taught to ignore, the one&#039;s supposedly in bed with big oil, were not trying to deceive you at all. That&#039;s the inconvenient truth.</description>

Shocking as it might be for you, intelligent people can and do disagree how facts ought to be interpreted. And any &quot;public&quot; broadcaster should not be in the business of stifling debate and dialogue on important issues.</description>

		<description>Mr. Hicks - I said that Rex Murphy&#039;s rants should be fact-checked, same as the rest of the news. If that means he has  nothing left to say and is therefore shut down, then good riddance.</description>

		<description>I find it ironic that Diefenbaker&#039;s quote about freedom of speech is written on this website  - just above your post about &quot;shutting down&quot; an opinion you happen to disagree with. Interesting to see leftists getting more in touch with their authoritarian streak.

I resent having to pay for the Toronto Broadcasting Corporation with my tax dollars. But I must say, the pain is lessened considerably by the fact that an insightful and independent thinker like Mr. Murphy is providing at least one perspective that doesn&#039;t simply regurgitate eco-socialist talking points.</description>
