My claim is Ablonczy's has said nothing that can be shown to be false. Your claim is she has said nothing that can be shown to be true even though I put the evidence right in front of your face.
No, you put hearsay in our face. Nothing shown there would stand up in the craziest of kangaroo courts.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
According to you I can't make my claim, because you can't disprove it, so that makes you automatically correct. Huh?
![huh? [huh]](./images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif)
No, now you are just being obtuse.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
You keep wanting to bring up the Ezra trial. That one's in appeal, but very well I followed it, so let's talk about it. The judge found Ezra claimed the guy Ezra called an anti-semetic liar was not shown to be an anti-semetic liar. Whether the judge was correct or just another Progressive writing law from the bench is immaterial.
He required proof. Call it evidence if you like. You know what I mean. Don't get into semantics.
No, I didn't. Ezra is an example of saying things that aren't true, and getting hauled into court over them. Call it 'Progressive' if you want, the rest of us refer to it as 'Justice'.

In this case Ablonczy alleged there have been claims of connections between Cair Canada and CAIR. That is true. She alleged the blogger, Pointe de Bascule offered support for that claim. That is true. I gave you a link to Pointe de Bascule. I'm not sure if it's all in that one, but he offers links to prima facie evidence. She alleged CAIR had been shown to have connections to terrorist organizations. This is true. Among other things CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the holy land foundation terrorist trial.
http://www.investigativeproject.org/doc ... sc/360.pdfSo when Ablonczy says allegations have been made and outlines how they were made and all those allegations can be shown to be factual, what do you call that?
Hearsay. Just because she quotes someone else making the allegations doesn't constitute proof of a crime. Show me something you could take to a Crown Council to have them charged with Aiding a Terrorist Organization, or it's all just unproven talk. "Unindicted co-conspirator" is just another term for 'we have no evidence'.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
You seem to be saying it doesn't matter if that evidence exists, because you say you can't prove it doesn't because that would be asking you to prove a negative.
No. Definitely over your IQ level. Actual evidence can be proven to exist, or not. Santa Clause cannot be proven to
not exist. A
negative can not be proven logically. You can try to prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists {bless his noodly appendage}, but failing to prove he exists is not proof he doesn't exist.
The same goes as to whether NCCM supports a terrorist organization. That can be proven. It is not possible to prove they
don't support a terrorist organization.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
That's nonsense, of course. It it was true somebody could allege something as fact, and you could say it's not a fact in a trial, then automatically win the suit, because you can't prove a negative, how could anybody say anything without being automatically guilty of libel?
Now you are just confusing yourself. If it's a fact, it's been proven. Terrorist links to the NCCM have not been proven, they have been
alleged.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
You're saying you can't allege something is true, because somebody can allege it isn't and he is automatically correct, because you can't prove a negative.
That's nuts.
No. Way over your IQ I guess. True/False can be proven.
Polarity, or the Negative, cannot.N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
Admittedly that does seem to be a honest representation of the way justice can work in Progworld and it does appear to be what Ezra faced in his original trial. We can only hope he can find a more reality based judge when his appeal comes up.
Assumption of Innocence is not 'progish'. That's just your way of deflecting a piss poor argument.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
Speaking of reality though, here in reality we can continue to ask "What did Ablonczy allege that cannot be shown by overwhelming evidence to be considered factual, or if not what evidence do you have to show it is not?"
What she alleges can indeed be shown by evidence. However, none has been offered. And again, I do not have to show innocence, because innocence is assumed. No, that is not the logical fallacy of ignorance, that is practical measure that our justice system has chosen specifically because the burden to prove one's innocence is impossible.
N_Fiddledog N_Fiddledog:
Specifically give an Ablonczy quote. I'll make the case for why it's a fact. You show me the evidence you have to say it is not. You will require more than a claim from of "no I didn't" from the party the claim is being made about. No, the NDP's claim of "You'd be sued if you said that someplace else" is not evidence.
I never said it was evidence, it is a fact. She has accused a group of a crime, and that group has not been convicted of that crime. That is the definition of Libel, and as Mr. Harper and Mr. Levant are finding out, you can't just go around accusing people of crimes they didn't commit.
