UPDATED: A “MASSIVE” (wink!) DION and CBC GAFFE (!) CAUGHT ON TAPE.
See below as CBC provides (very poor) cover for Dion’s, um, “misrepresentation” of his own “facts” or whatever you call what he said or tried to say.
Anti-Conservative Non-issue of the Day
now being perpetrated by CBC and Julie Van Dusen
Bare-Ass Bob Rae (seen at left on CBC after he took all his clothes off for the nation he hoped to lead, presumably with pants on) has held one of the most ridiculous, most picayune “news” conferences in election history, in which he pretends to “prove”—using side-by-side TV sets—that Stephen Harper “plagiarized” a speech five years ago—using the same words used by Prime Minister Howard of Australia during the start of the Iraq war. You know, the way approximately 80,000,000 other people who were all on the same page were talking.
Here it goes. Ready?
John Howard: “Saddam Hussein is a threat…”
Stephen Harper: “Saddam Hussein is a threat…”
John Howard: “…failed to comply with U.N.”
Stephen Harper: “…failed to comply with U.N.”
Voila! Harper’s a damn copycat!
Undaunted by the hideousness of Bare-Ass Bob Rea and Team Liberal’s latest folly, the obedient CBC division, and their “news” reporter Julie Van Dusen, are having emotional orgasms over it. They’ve got to go with everything they can find, even if it’s garbage and stupid beyond the pale. And report it with a serious face. With no smirks. Like it’s not the joke that it is. It’s their main election story today. Which is really funny if you’re a half-serious human.
They aren’t even embarrassed. Which is half of what makes it funny.
Watching the CBC makes you stupider by the minute. As does voting for Liberals.
UPDATE
Stephane Dion misrepresented his own insane accusation concerning “plagiarism”. (Is this “fraud”?! Who cares!)
In a news scum just now, lasting about 13 hours and covered live by CBC, Dion accused Harper of “plagiarizing” not Prime Minister John Howard of Australia, as Bare-Ass Bob did, and as the original storyline went just this morning, but “evolved” it — “progressive-ed” it — to become a plagiarism of none other than George W. Bush instead. Dion did this not just once. He did this four times. (No media called him on it, no, not once).
He started out by saying that Harper was plagiarizing not Howard but George Bush’s “Coalition of the Willing”, then went ahead and just evolved progressed invented a new story — one more to his liking because he loves invoking “Bush” into his talking points as much as possible.
He said these exact words (at some points looking directly at the camera instead of the reporter/questioner—almost as if this was planned as a PR stunt ahead of time which no “news” media person could ever fathom):
• “Stephen Harper plagiarized the Coalition of the Willing’s George W. Bush about the war in Iraq. Stephen Harper should be EXPELLED…”
• [Then In French]:
“Mr. Harper copied a speech from the coalition with respect to the Iraq war… ”
[THEN THE “PROGRESSIVE” EVOLUTION OCCURRED]
• “He’s unable to chose his own words—he chose the words of the Coalition of the Willing … so you have two problems—plagiarize, but at the same time, plagiarize George W. Bush about the war in Iraq. …”
• [Then in French]:
“… Not only did he commit plagiarism, which is inexcusable, but he plagiarized George W. Bush in the Iraq war which means he simply cannot remain the Prime Minister of this country! …”
• “Stephen Harper was using the words of George W. Bush and Mr. Chretien the Liberal government has been strong enough…”
[Then back to “English”]:
• “Well Harper is the vree old neo-conservative approach vree conservative approach that failed everywhere, and he’s plagiarizing George Bush in addition to it…”
Thennnn… the CBC anchor Nancy (“very interesting!”) Wilson, in providing the helpful Cliff Notes (rewrite?) afterward, misrepresented (corrected? Covered for Dion?) what Dion actually said. She said:
“Liberal leader Stephane Dion is speaking in Gatineau Quebec uh with some harsh words for Jack Layton he says the NDP leader has no credibility for Stephen Harper and he says that Harper on foreign policy matters like Iraq does not speak with uh Canada’s voice also harsh words for George Bush saying that Harper is actually copying the record and uh conduct of George Bush. And uh that is the latest in campaign events….
And that is about the worst summary I’ve heard in a week.
COMING UP, time permitting:
If I find time, I’ll count the number of times Dion said the name Bush. It’s at least a dozen. Each time sounding like it’s with an irrational and absolute contempt for the U.S. President. No, I’d say it’s hate, actually.
COPY THIS, FOOLS:
• Dion was caught lifting exact words and platforms from his left brain, David Suzuki. I won’t even cite the proof. It’s blatant and obvious and repeated time and again and really, it’s just embarrassing. For all of us.
• Team Liberal stole the words “Green Shift” from a private citizen without asking, and had to be threatened with lawsuits and agree to settle. I won’t even cite the evidence because it’s all over the news.
