Layton and his you’ve got to be kidding party players have soaked long enough in their filthy muck and are now in full spin cycle. They’re still going to come out dirty. You can’t clean words and thoughts this filthy.
But notice how it was only “some Conservative blogs … the National Post newspaper and … right-wing radio hosts” who were outraged by this nature of this story, according to the new story by Canadian Press today. I think that was intended as a liberal media snub of some sort. If so, it’s what I call a “boomerang”, because it comes back and hits the snubber in the arse. Moreover, I think it speaks volumes that the liberal-left apparently couldn’t have cared less—or worse—they agreed with—the NDP’s sentiments.
Note also how the wording in the NDP resolution was deemed “provocative” by the reporter. Remarkably, not actually “treasonous”. Point taken. Can we use that standard moving forward when we conservatives say things? Didn’t think so.

NDP drops controversial wording from antiwar resolution
Jennifer Ditchburn, Canadian Press
Published: Wednesday, September 06, 2006OTTAWA—A group of NDP members has withdrawn controversial wording from an antiwar resolution that warned Canadian troops in Afghanistan risk “acting like terrorists.”
The move Wednesday by the Nanaimo-Cowichan riding association spares the party potential embarrassment at its national policy convention this weekend in Quebec City.
The provocative wording was part of a preamble to a resolution that called on Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
It read: “No matter how noble our intentions, such as `bringing democracy’ or `enabling peaceful development,’ these goals cannot be achieved by violence when the `enemy’ cannot be distinguished from ordinary citizens. In such a situation Canadian troops end up acting like terrorists, destroying communities, killing and maiming innocent people. In turn our troops become easy targets for others.”
The wording caught the attention of some Conservative blogs, landed on the front page of the National Post newspaper, and provided welcome fodder for right-wing radio hosts…
We occasionally see or hear how liberals think in public. Imagine how they speak amongst themselves in private, or how they think privately. There is no washing machine powerful enough…
Vote liberal.
