I feel so violated. As I wrote last night, on Canada’s state-run news media last night the good Foreign Affairs Minister unwittingly uttered a Joelism. State-employee Mansbridge failed to make the connection. Today it was reported on the liberals’ state-run people’s web site. But they again failed to mention me or my web site. Here’s the quote:
MacKay chided Layton for his recent calls for Canada to try to negotiate peaceful solutions with the Taliban, as well as with Hezbollah, in the Middle East.
“Is it next going to be tea with Osama bin Laden?” Mackay asked. “This cannot happen.”
Here’s the link to the blog entry from last night. Please write every Senator, MP, and the Queen to complain about the state-run media not mentioning my name despite my coining of that turn of phrase.
This all reminds me of the time the Boston Globe quoted me from my blog. The trouble was, it wasn’t me who said what they quoted, it was a reader/commenter who said it; and they cited the wrong web site—they said it was on our sister site at the time, ConservativeGroundswell.com, but no, it was here on PTBC.
I don’t get me no respect. Is there a social program for this?
Speaking of no respect, Layton’s you’ve got to be kidding party has serious members who propose to officially allow our fighting men and women in Afghanistan to be seen as no better than the barbaric medieval savage terrorists.
Canada’s troops in Afghanistan have been “acting like terrorists, destroying communities, killing and maiming innocent people”, according to a resolution that will be voted on by New Democrats at the party’s convention in Quebec City this weekend.
They’re so “nuanced”, those liberal-lefties!
On the bright side, unlike the state-run CBC, their resolution doesn’t steal the CBC’s proprietary turn of phrase in describing the terrorists. The unbiased (in favor of Canada, that is) CBC news anchors often call them “so-called” terrorists and refer to the ”so-called war on terror”. The socialists just come right out and say it. But of course that’s because they get to call our own countrymen terrorists that way, rather than merely “so-called” terrorists. It’s all relative, see?
