UPDATED at bottom: A meltdown in action.
I’m starting to think that compared to Sun News Network’s Ray Heard, the Ford brothers with their new weekly show 
on SNN on Mondays are going to sound reasonable. And this concerns me. Even more than the stupidity of Sun giving them that platform.
For some reason, Ray Heard (who is usually at least nominally sensible even if he is a liberal) started in on one of those weird, almost pathological hate-ons for Sarah Palin, circa 2008, on Twitter yesterday (circa 2013). This is just as all the dumber liberals did back in the day, and as some of the dumbest ones still do, with careless, intolerant and idiotic abandon.
I don’t know exactly when Heard started oozing brain poo over this, but I picked it up here:
@althiaraj @RogersTVToronto Hope someone asks @chrystiafreeland why she called Sarah Palin a role model for women in Financial Times
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 13, 2013
@katewerk @cafreeland @LindaMcQuaig Since Freeland sees Palin as role model for women, she should have run for the Tories. Grits dislike SP
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 13, 2013
So, @cafreeland gets free pass in Twitterverse for saying Sarah Palin is feminist role model? These are dismal times.
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 14, 2013
Oh yes. So dismal. This Liberal Party “War on Women” is dismal indeed. Sadly, this army of one Heard is inadequately armed against Sarah Palin.
So @cafreeland adores Sarah Palin as feminist role model, outsourced high tech jobs to low wage nations. @Davidakin @lindamcquaig take note

@cafreeland — Sarah Palin is a true feminist role model – http://t.co/oU1vN4y4T8 http://t.co/BIRBUvklA7 via @FT
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 14, 2013
@LindaMcQuaig you must start asking Freeland why she says Sarah Palin is ultimate feminist role-model, which is cosdwallop
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 14, 2013
It’s “cosdwallop?” For one thing I think he meant codswallop. But don’t worry, he’s not a moron, he’s just an intolerant lout. What’s British for “guttersnipe?” Is it scurvy scallywag? I don’t know. I’m still learning to speak moron.
@journo_dale @RussFrey NDP @lindamcquaig shld focus on Freeland's asinine FT column calling Sarah Palin a feminist role model. She's bimbo!
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
“She’s bimbo!” Heard illiterate! And also sexist. @Brenda_inBC noticed, along with many others.

@LindaMcQuaig When will you attack Freeland for saying Sarah Palin is role model for feminists, which is absolute codswallop???
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
“Absolute codswallop” this time. Paging Sun News Network: We may have an obsessive-compulsive Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome and intolerance problem here, with one of your liberal talking heads; to say nothing of his liberal-sexist and insulting “bimbo” remark.
The true nature of liberals, revealed yet again.
@LindaMcQuaig scores as Star reports @cafreeland still sees Sarah Palin as feminist role model — http://t.co/tXC0LAGSU6 via @torontostar
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
There’s no explaining this liberal’s obsession with getting the socialist NDP candidate, Linda McQuaig, to slam the Liberal candidate, Chrystia Freeland, over this, especially when Ray Heard is himself a Liberal.
Then again he’s a Liberal. He’s left-wing, and Sarah Palin is normal and conservative, and she has a normal world view, so yeah, I guess that does explains that.
It goes on.
@JustinTrudeauMP So, do you share @czfreeland view Sarah Palin is still feministv role model? @ezralevant, @davidakin and I welcome reply
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
@LindaMcQuaig Did you see Star reports @cafreeland stands by her quote that Sarah Palin is a feminist role model? Include me out!!!
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
Oh dear. Get him some help. Perhaps Rob Ford could counsel him on Monday.
Along with dozens of others tweeps, @Katewerk shot back with several volleys including this fact-backed goodie:
That's offensive, @RayHeard. Before denigrating Palin, do some homework: http://t.co/LbXKZ6AnoZ @cafreeland @LindaMcQuaig
— Katewerk (@katewerk) November 13, 2013
Undeterred, Heard was on Sun News this morning, still yammering on with the smear Sarah Palin blather.
Well that was fun. But in fact, this now fully discredited, well-past-its-best-before-date hate Sarah Palin herd mentality (fun pun) is boring, boorish, unimpressive, churlish, and lazy intellectually. Palin has more than proven her bona fides, is still a huge draw and important political figure five years after the likes of Ray Heard started calling her a “bimbo” and other such dismissive, condescending crap.
More facts: I’m a fan of Sarah Palin. I admire her and trust her instincts on almost every issue because the fact is, she’s proven to be right, 99% of the time. If I were a woman, whether or not I was a so-called “feminist” (I wouldn’t be — I’d just be a “woman”) I’d view her as a role model. And I’d be thrilled to see my daughters look up to her as an icon. Palin is in fact a good role model for everyone.
On the other hand, I’d cringe if my daughters saw Ray Heard’s sexist, exclusive, obsessive, irrational, smear-tweets about her, and viewed his dubious and vacuous comments on Sun News today. He’s no role model.
And by the way, my daughters wouldn’t be watching the Ford Bros show either.
UPDATE:
Oh for goodness’ sake. He’s still on it. We may be witnessing a meltdown.
@TerryGlavin @JJ_McCullough She is also fan of Chavez. On other hand, as I Tweeted, Freeland believes Sarah Palin is a feminist role-model.
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
@AntoniaZ @TorontoStar @Tharper Or, Can Trudeau yank @cafreeland from Loony Right.? She still says Palin is feminist role model
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
As Liberal, surprised @cafrweeland still believes Sarah Palin is feminist role-model. Does @justintrudeau agree? To me, Palin=Gong Show
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
@TerryGlavin @JJ_McCullough But she tolls Delacourt she still thinks Palin is feminist role model
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
Dear Canadian reporters. Pls ask @JustinTrudeau if he agrees with @cafreeland that Sarah Palin is feminist role model.
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 15, 2013
Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care http://t.co/vLSAxc2Fs3 via @HuffPostPol @justintrudeau and @cafreeland endorse this Tweet
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 16, 2013

Ah the liberal love. The moderation. The civility. The intelligence.
That last one wasn’t Ray Heard, but Ray Heard retweeted it. It was implied by a liberal-leftist ass, Martin Bashir, at America’s liberal-leftist-central, MSNBC. I’m ever so sure Heard doesn’t endorse the sentiment. Even though he retweeted it without comment.
Another day, the attack continues. Saturday, November 16, 2013:
Buried here is @cafreeland 's enduring admiration for Sarah Palin as feminist role model – http://t.co/tXC0LAGSU6 via @torontostar
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 16, 2013
@edwardtoronto @marlawd @cafreeland @LindaMcQuaig @voteFreeland Freeland must retract her statement Sarah Palin is feminist role model!
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 17, 2013
@JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @RogerLMartin @Richard_Florida Do they share Freeland's view Sarah Palin is feminist role model?.
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 16, 2013
And it’s still going on: Monday, November 18, 2013
@JustinTrudeau @cafreeland Dear Justin. Do you share Chrystia's view Sarah Palin is a feminist role model?
— Ray Heard (@RayHeard) November 18, 2013
This obsession is officially whacky. This often happens with those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome. They start out claiming she’s a nutbar, but end-up getting hit in the ass with their own boomerang. Hoist by their own petard, as they say.

Sarah is competent, honest, morally strong and not afraid of being a proud mother. All things the left can’t stand.
RT @JoelJohannesen: UPDATED! There’s more! Sun News’ Ray Heard oozes brain poo with Sarah Palin hate-on – http://t.co/PWDQfy6dNg #cdnpoli @…
Ray Heard is nothing more than a sitzpinkler masquerading as just another bought and paid for mediot.
They hate Palin because she makes all those slacker entitled liberals look bad, really bad. They are exposed for being in it for themselves despite all the BS about looking after the “little” guy or “ordinary” people. You would never hear a true conservative call anyone ‘ordinary’ – only liberals, because that’s what they think of themselves vs everyone else.
She is their party pooper and they will slam her whenever and wherever they can.
They are just mad because Sarah figured out Obamacare in ten minutes and in five years they still haven’t figured it out.
Though some of the big brains on the left are now trying to convince us that death panels, which at first were supposedly just a figment of Sarah’s imagination, are now very real, and now a good thing.
jeez, some of the comments show just how dumb those people really are. libs just hate common sense.
