A punk, a Muslim, a Black man and a Jew walk into a bar....replace 'bar' with 'debate' and that's our panel on this episode.Many liberals, progressives, left-wingers...whatever term is in vogue this moment...either refused to condemn Antifa's recent attack on an American journalist or outright justified it. Why are so many 'fair-minded' people so quick to abandon their principles? And does Antifa represent left-wing causes or are they unsavoury elements who have been welcomed by liberals the same way White Supremacists have been taken into the conservative fold?Panelists:Lex Gore, long-time anti-racism activist and member of Bunchoffuckinggoofs, who have for years patrolled Toronto's downtown defending minorities against neo-nazis, and not above busting some head when necessary.Adrian Cooper, who works in security & as a wrestler, is half-black, and says that rather than helping, Antifa violence puts people of colour in danger. Hafeez Noorani is an online personality and political junkie who specializes in social media communications and has been a lightning rod in hot-button conversations yet still  seems to attract and befriend people on both sides of the political spectrum. Which makes him someone many Antifa members would consider 'an enemy'.The NO BULLpen is an #FU_Politics Original PodcastNo pundits, no jargon, no zealots - honest talk with knowledgeable, opinionated people w/sense of humour. Listen & Subscribe to #FU_Politics at: iTunes - Rate, Review and Subscribe!https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/fu-politics/id1472299923 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4YQ4rklq8bcsmhTfqgj9jH YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBRvebbl4FVT9dWt0IdE8ccD1cOkPO5a7 Podbeanhttps://fupolitics.podbean.com Google Playhttps://play.google.com/music/m/Ilgcik5imfx5qwtzxivpyblb2p4 Stitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/fun-the-fu-network/fu-politics Player FMhttps://player.fm/series/fu-politics-2521543 Tune In / Alexahttp://tun.in/pjtS0 RSS Feed https://feed.podbean.com/fupolitics/feed.xmlIf you want to support FU_Politics' mission of restoring civility, fact-based opinions, mutual respect and a sense of humour to public debate - in other words, be everything Ezra Levant's "The Rebel" network isn't.

Being pelted by milkshakes is legally assault, but if that had been as far as it had gone, no big deal. But a member of Antifa punched journalist Andy Ngo in the face. Ngo wasn't physically attacking or about to physically attack anyone. But Ngo writes and makes videos that support the White Supremacist movement. So was it okay to punch him in the face? Hosted by Steven KerznerPanel:Stuart Benson, Ottawa based freelance journalist and self-described "Dirtbag Leftist", is a journalist for numerous outlets and entertainment editor for Glue Magazine.Dave K is a licensed paralegal with a masters degree in history, who's dealt with immigration issues and works in the financial services industry and might have a dog named Hamster.If you want to support FU_Politics' mission of restoring civility, fact-based opinions, mutual respect and a sense of humour to public debate - in other words, be everything Ezra Levant's "The Rebel" network isn't.

The political right circle their wagons and shoot outward; the left circle their wagons and shoot inward. In other words, progressives can't seem to get their shit together. Too many factions, too much in-fighting and other factors hobble the left's effectiveness. Why?This was recorded as a test podcast back in August of 2017 yet it's amazing how little has changed. A few things, like Trudeau's honeymoon with the press, are no longer true, but the substance of the dialogue is as relevant today as it was 2 years ago. So things haven't got better. Maybe they've gotten worse? Listen and decide for yourself.Hosted by Steven Kerzner.If you want to support FU_Politics' mission of restoring civility, fact-based opinions, mutual respect and a sense of humour to public debate - in other words, be everything Ezra Levant's "The Rebel" network isn't.

Did Nike make the right move cancelling the limited edition Betsy Ross flag shoes over Colin Kaepernick's concerns they'd make some people 'uncomfortable' - because there was slavery in America when the flag was created? How far will this campaign against history go and does it have merit? And what does the Fonz have to do with it? Steven Kerzner & Ishat Reza bring you a digital donnybrook from both sides of the issue!Colin Kaepernick says they might have made some people 'uncomfortable' - Nike shoes with the original US flag - because the flag was made when the US still had slavery. And because it's been picked up as a symbol by some small cells of White Supremacists, a fact virtually nobody knew. So Nike pulled the shoes.Right decision, being sensitive to descendants of slaves & people of colour? Pandering by Nike to seem like heroes to Black people and sell them more of their umpteen other sneakers? Further example of Americans running from their history instead of dealing with it? Another victory for a world being wrapped in politically-correct Nerf?Steven Kerzner (political commentator, reformed political candidate, TV writer & satirist) and Ishat Reza (smart, plain-spoken, Harvard & McGill educated speaker on history politics and race) go toe-to-toe...okay, bad pun when talking about shoes. And somehow, "The Fonz" becomes part of the discussion.

Did Justin Trudeau do this to himself? A year ago PMJT was riding high in the polls. Today, he's neck & neck with Andrew Scheer.  In adopting the word choices of the further Left to keep the NDP weak, did Trudeau set himself up as a moral purity icon that was unsustainable and vulnerable to attack by political opponents AND a media that set him up to watch him fall?Hosted by media commentator Steven Kerzner, the NO BULLpen is a no-pundit, no-jargon, no-BS political panel dialogue & debate.
