Blue Like You

Obviously, I blew it.

(And if you’re reading this today, then you did too!)

…anyone one else is fair game.

Today’s National Post Editorial (Dear Stephane: Be a Man), highlights Stephane Dion’s outraged hysteria over the Prime Minister daring to suggest that “the opposition seems to care more about the rights of Taliban detainees than the safety of our troops in Kandahar”.

So Steffi then called Stephane Harper a ‘bully’. The Post then goes on to outline other instances when the Liberals did their own ‘bullying’:

Since last fall, the Liberals have labelled Mr. Harper a Neanderthal over his government’s cuts to the Status of Women Canada budget; implied he is racist for axing the $5-billion Kelowna agreement on native funding; claimed he is anti-democratic for “stacking” the committees that advise on judicial nominees; accused him of “undermining our Canadian values system” by eliminating funding to the left-leaning Court Challenges Program; and suggested he was homophobic for reviving the debate on same-sex marriage. They have called him a “control freak,” “Bush-lite,” “deceitful” and a practitioner of “Republican voodoo economics.”

I might add to that that the Prime Minister of Canada has even been called a “Political Whore” by a sitting Liberal MP; albeit not in the House itself. I even asked Garth if he was planning to apologize. His response was:

Of course he (Harper) completely prostituted his Reform principles. That’s fact, not character assassination. He executed himself. — Garth

So, I suppose if the accuser believes the statement to be true, then no apology is required.

And yet, we now have Post columnist Jonathan Kay, the National Post itself, and others being served libel notices over Kay’s piece about alleged Liberal backroom deals. Jonathan defended his position in the Post’s Full Comment blog back on Feb. 28.

This morning I asked Mr. Kay if he was planning to comment about this latest development, but he replied that he has “been advised not to make any statement”. However, he did thank me for my note.

The Big Red Liberal Machine is worried, folks. They are demoralized by their glaring mistake in electing a ‘whimp’ as a leader and by polls showing rising support for the CPC.

- And just like a cornered animal, the LPC is lashing out in anger and fear.
