Liberal compassion apparently is only valid when the emotion suits the agenda.At a news conference before the vote, Maureen Basnicki, (pictured with daughter, Erica) whose husband Ken was among two dozen Canadian victims of the 9/11 al-Qaeda attacks, urged MPs to "stop playing politics" and to "vote with their conscience and not with their party."
Deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he sympathized with terror victims but labelled their appearance during the debate as "just a sideshow," prompting an angry response from Basnicki.
"Sideshow? I was a victim of terrorism. My husband was murdered. I don't like to be a victim of politics. The issue here is the security of Canadians," Basnicki remarked.
One would think true compassion would be based on sound principles of good judgment, honor, duty, and honesty.
Apparently Liberal compassion is nothing more than a "sideshow."
That's a disgusting sentiment from Iggy. It just proves that he's been sheltered from the tough situations in life.
