1. As a general matter, simply watch the state-owned CBC Newsworld channel or any of a number of other liberal media outlets. Legends and myths appear as if out of nowhere.
For example, just now: On the CBC Newsworld channel, in the middle of the newscast, a guest expert on all things political, Susan Delacourt, a political columnist from the liberal-left’s Toronto Star, suggested that Prime Minister Harper is an “unfriendly dictator”, and, it seemed to me, she attempted to cast the Harper administration as one which has created a dark, sinister, soviet-style or Iranian-style Hell in what was our previously cheery, friendly, happy-go-lucky and perky Canada.
She said:
“Um, it, Mr. Harper, it does seem has almost borrowed from Mr. Chretien remember who was known as the “Friendly Dictator” by the end of his time in office, and Mr. Harper’s kind of the unfriendly dictator. Um, there’s uh, there not a lot of [giggle] joy there, there’s not a lot of um, talking to people, there’s much social contact discouraged. Um, you even see if cabinet ministers walk up to you and uh and if they meet you on the street they’re looking nervously over their shoulder to see if they’re being watched… “
Well then. There goes the happy friendly neighborhood.
For balance, on the other side, the other guest expert was regular Harper / Conservative critic and National Post columnist Don Martin. For his part, he suggested that Prime Minister Harper has everyone around him on a “choke chain” —as in a dog collar. Woof!
He said:
“…Here’s a guy
[the “guy” he’s referring to, with such respect, is the Prime Minister of Canada]
who has put the choke chain on virtually everyone in his orbit…”.
Note that unlike when liberals and their media went totally ape-poo over a reference that Conservative Peter MacKay jokingly and light-heartedly made (and only allegedly—he denies it), with regard to his suddenly Liberal and estranged ex-girlfriend, Belinda Stronach, this kind of talk from Don Martin with regard to our Prime Minister and his caucus is to be considered perfectly fine. They’re virtually all dogs, those people around Harper, so perhaps the socialist-style egalitarian nature of it is what makes it fine. No, sorry, I missed the point. They’re Conservatives.
I was reminded of this MacKay “dog” comment because just today, CTV.ca wrote up a news report on sex scandals, called ”A steamy history of political sex scandals”, to coincide with the inconvenient truth about that filthy whore-using DEMOCRAT Eliot Spitzer, and included the Peter MacKay comment as another one of the “sex scandals” of our time. Yes, right up there with the Bill Clinton sex scandal, and the Gary Hart sex scandal, and so on.
CTV.ca said, in ”A steamy history of political sex scandals”:
…A devastated MacKay posed with a dog when speaking with the media days later—although reports later suggested that the dog may have been a loaner.
During one raucous 2006 exchange in the House of Commons after the Tories formed government, a Liberal yelled out, “What about your dog?”
Then-Foreign Affairs Minister MacKay was accused of pointing to Stronach’s empty seat and saying, “You already have her.” But MacKay denied making the statement. …
(Yeah. See, its exactly the same thing as Spitzer and Clinton.)
Anyway, the two CBC Newsworld guests were introduced by the anchor Andrew Nichols, who holds a masters degree in journalism, as a way in which to provide Canadians with a “bigger picture” about the action in Ottawa today under the Harper administration. .jpg "image")
The CBC banner underneath them read “STRANGE DAYS INDEED”, rather than the more accurate “STRANGE WAY TO PRESENT BALANCED INFORMATION TO CANADIANS ON A NEWS CHANNEL”—or indeed the one they used earlier today, as seen at left, which led me to suggest they just keep up all day, every day (toldja!).
Incidentally, Don Martin later informed us that the Dion “Libs” HAVE TO win the by-elections on Monday…
He said:
“…for any sort of sense of uh higher mor —improved morality in their ranks, HAVE TO win at least three, preferably all four….”
Improved morality? Huh.
Improved morale, perhaps, methinks.
Liberals winning by-elections isn’t going to improve “morality”, I can absolutely assure you.
