"...If Gilles Duceppe brings it up, I would ask him about the Parti Quebecois accepting illegal funds from Group Action. If he calls the Liberal Party crooks, I would sue the Bloc. If Harper brings it up, I would ask him to release the names of the donors to his first leadership campaign in the name of integrity..."Let's deal with the ever famous "Harper never revealed the donors to his first leadership campaign" nonsense that the Liberals have been spewing since time immemorial. They should be ashamed of their slanderous lies.... Because let's be frank here IT IS A LIE.
Here a Liberal admits it:
"Harper did not reveal over 99 percent of the names of the donors to his 2002 campaign to become leader of the Canadian Alliance. He revealed only 0.56 percent of the names of the donors to his 2002 leadership campaign (and only 54 out of the 64 highest donors over $1075.00). The missing donors account for 28 percent of the monetary contributions to Harper's leadership campaign."Harper released a list of his top donors. He just admitted it. Stephane Dion LIED.
Harper at the time released a list of top donors I think. That is standard for leadership campaigns I believe - If I'm wrong please correct me. The thing is only 0.56 percent of Harper's contributions came from that category. Which means that most of Harper's support and move comes from individual contributions - something we've all known for a while. Now maybe Harper could have revealed a more detailed list - but no one seemed to complain at the time - especially LIBERALS.
Meanwhile the Liberal's money has always mostly come from large corporations and buddies of big business and the elite of Canadian society.
Stephen Dion should apologize - But he never will.
And next to the first assertion, that if anyone ever calls a Liberal a crook they should get sued.
People that sue for slander in politics, frequently do so because they can't offer up an argument against an assertion. Not all the time... But frequently...
Suing someone, can be a bully tactick intented to shut someone else up.
As a public service let me say the following: the Liberal party is filled with crooks.
Let me say that again: THE LIBERALS ARE CROOKS. CROOKS! BIG FAT CROOKS!
CCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOKKKKKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crooks!
Crooks!

Congratulations!

hmmm.... I don't know if I should be insulted, or be exhalted?
ReplyDeleteWhat I find most interesting is that balbulican cleverly manages to avoid the whole point of this post in his little diatribe...
"For those cynics who complain that Blue Bloggers tend toward the mind-numbing reiteration of simple-minded rants and slogans without thought or substance, no more forceful rebuttal can be found than such eloquent and subtle commentators as the wittily named Back Off Government, who opines in a forceful screed that…well, let’s have him develop his own thesis here."
Then he goes on to quote the bottom part of my post, that was meant as a humorus diatribe against those in politics that feel they can shut up people by threatening to sue them.
Really balbulican, I want to know, do you think that it's right that Liberals can call Conservatives racist, and bigoted, but as soon as a Conservative makes a statement about the facts of the sponsorship scandal he deserves to be sued?

ReplyDeleteComplicated question, Jason, and the parts don't really fit together very well. I have to sort of break it up to respond.
"do you think that it's right that Liberals can call Conservatives racist, and bigoted,"
All liberals don't call all Conservatives racist and bigoted. Some liberals don't call any Conservatives racist and bigoted. Some liberals call some conservatives racist and bigoted Some non liberals call some conservatives racist and bigoted. And guess what? Some conservatives (as well as some liberals) actually ARE racist and bigoted.
Do I think it's right? I think people of any political stripe who are racist and bigoted should be called racist and bigoted.
"as soon as a Conservative makes a statement about the facts of the sponsorship scandal he deserves to be sued?""
Well, many thousands of Conservatives have made statements about the sponsorship scandal (as well as many NDP and indepenedents), and almost none of them have been sued. However, I can conceive of statements that someone (political party is irrelevant) might make that could provide grounds for legal action, yes.
Hope that clarified my position.
Good luck with the votes.
