Since mid-week, the liberals’ media—on instruction from Liberals—have been going on a petulant rampage about a news conference held by Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay and visiting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, which was held in front of a statue of Lester Pearson—a Liberal—and his Nobel Peace Prize. You see, the yummy prize wasn’t actually visible to all the TV viewers (voters) because it had a formal curtain and flags in front of it for the news conference.
Child-like Liberal Party whiner and former cabinet minister Ralph Goodale described that as “pathetic”. Yes, “pathetic” that the Conservatives would dare block (“shroud” and “cover up”—Goodale’s actual words—see video below) a yummy Liberal and his sacred Nobel Peace Prize from the media’s TV cameras during a great Liberal Party advertising moment which was apparently being disguised as a serious news conference between mature grownups (MacKay and Rice).
But here’s a picture (courtesy of a CTV video clip—see below) of the Liberals’ Euroliberal Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pierre Pettigrew standing with Condoleezza Rice in front of that same (“covered-up”, or “shrouded” as devious deceitful Liberal Ralph Goodale calls it) sacred Nobel Peace Prize.
CTV’s David Akin revealed the hypocrisy today at CTV.ca (on a Saturday morning, days after the Liberals’ “news” hit the liberals’ fan mid-week), but largely left it at that. A mere amusement. A trifle. Another funny moment in a busy week in Canada’s ever-so-wacky politics. No other liberal media cared any more than that either.
Headlines about this story all over Canada this week should, in all fairness, read: “THE HEIGHT OF LIBERAL PETULANCE” or “PURE UNADULTERATED LIBERAL HYPOCRISY” or “LIBERALS LIE LIKE THEY BREATHE” or “GOODALE AND LIBERALS ARE PETULANT LYING DEVIOUS DECEPTIVE BUFFOONS”.
And that should continue for days on end. Just out of fairness.
Instead, though, it’s called something more like “but CTV has learned…”, and then brushed off as politics as usual. More silliness.
Liberals, Tories battle over Pearson prize

Liberal MPs accused the Conservatives Friday of trying to obliterate Liberals from Canada’s history, capping off a week of intense partisan sniping between Liberals and Conservatives.
At the end of the week, Liberals accused the Conservatives of deliberately hiding a display honouring Lester Pearson and the Nobel Peace Prize he won in 1957.
“I have no doubt in my mind that they would try to eradicate everything that has been good by the Liberal party and by great Liberals in this country from the history books if they could,” said Todd Russell, a Liberal MP for the riding of Labrador. “Fortunately right now, they can’t, but it just again speaks to the nature of this particular Conservative government.”
The Pearson display, in the Department of Foreign Affairs building in Ottawa, had indeed been covered up by a backdrop and curtains set up for a press conference held by political leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico during some end-of-week meetings held in Ottawa.
But CTV News has learned that the Pearson display was routinely hidden by backdrops set up for the press conferences of Liberal ministers during the governments of Paul Martin and Jean Chretien.
That fact, though, did not deter Liberals from attacking the Conservatives.
It’s about LIBERAL hypocrisy, lies, deviousness, deceit, and utter BS. Nothing to do with Conservatives. I hope you understand the difference. The liberal-left live by an entirely different set of rules and standards. Please just try to understand that and embrace it. Vote liberal. They’re so honest. And not petulant.
Here’s a good CTV video clip

P.S. – And by the way, if the headline can’t be what it should be (see above for my good examples), why is the headline “Liberals, Tories battle over Pearson prize”? Why isn’t it ”Grits, Tories…”? (Reference)
And incidentally—I’m pretty amused about another thing: They make out like this statue is a huge Lincoln Memorial-sized edifice. It’s actually about as big as a G.I. Joe. Look!
