Emphasis mine.
Liberal Scott Brison, one of several gay MPs, said Harper's refusal to strip Tom Lukiwski of his duties as a parliamentary secretary "debases" the institution of Parliament.
Oh, really, Scotty? You know, saying to women, "kiss my ass" also "debases" the institution of Parliament, you misogynistic hypocrite.
The prime minister's "tepid" response to the affair also suggests that "hate prejudice and bigotry are just fine in his Canada," Brison told the House of Commons on Friday.
Oh, really? Well, your own leader's "tepid" response to Islamic fascists within your very own party, Scotty, also suggests that "hate, prejudice, bigotry are just fine in your (and your leader Stephane Dion's Canada)."
You know, you Liberal hypocrites and hateful bigots... you are living in a big glass house on this issue. To wit:
Stephane Dion, the new Liberal leader, says he's against renewing the provisions of Canada's Anti-Terrorism Act. Because the Conservatives don't have a majority, and the Bloc and NDP are notoriously soft on the war on terror, Dion holds the balance.
(...)
There is only one reason why Dion wants to scrap this law: Because the increasingly powerful Muslim wing of his party demands it.
That wing includes Omar Alghabra, an MP from Mississauga. Before being elected a Liberal MP, Alghabra was a vocal political activist who campaigned against border security.
This wing also includes Mohammed Elmasry, the head of the Canadian Islamic Congress, a radical lobby group. Elmasry made headlines for telling a TV talk show that every Israeli Jew aged 18 and up was fair game for terrorist attacks.
Don't forget to click on the "Omar Alghabra" link, which I added to the blockquotes myself (it wasn't part of the quotation itself). It's a shocker, and I'd note Mr. Alghabra's vehement denial as to having uttered supremacistic, imperialistic Islamism-related declarations, unlike Mr. Lukiwski's very quick admission, assumption of full responsibility and full, unequivocal apology, plus declaration that he doesn't feel the way he uttered in the past. Big contrast.
So, dear Scotty, I'd watch that infamous, unhinged, ultra-aggressive, malicious partisan attack stuff of yours if I were you. Pot, kettle, all that, my good man.
You have some scary characters in your own party, own caucus yourself.
And I'd love to know how you feel about the position of Muslims who may or may not hate you because you're "gay" and what they may or may not think, stemming from that hatred. How do you know that certain Muslim folks in your party, who have expressed murderous hatred towards Israeli Jews or have allegedly, according to witnesses, uttered supremacistic/imperialistic Islam-related slogans, don't also feel similar hatred towards you for being "gay"? You know what the Koran says about you, don't you? And, you know, a Muslim like Mohammed El Masry, who is on record as inciting murder against an identifiable group just because of who they are, how do you know that he's not also literalist-Islamist with respect to homosexuals?
Perhaps you need perspective, guy. Mr. Lukiwski has apologized unreservedly. He declared that he doesn't think that way at all. Why not accept his apology and declaration of non-intolerance? You assume that Mohammed El Masry, despite being a hateful person due to his faith tenets, isn't hateful towards you as a "gay" person, so why not forgive Mr. Lukiwski? What, are you incapable of forgiveness of anyone who isn't Muslim? You've apparently forgiven El Masry for his bigotry and hatred towards Israeli Jews, so... well? How about Lukiwski, who merely said some offensive stuff whilst apparently drunk as a skunk, with his judgement severely impaired due to intoxication?
Why give some (within your own party) the benefit of the doubt, no matter what, no matter how scary their words/alleged words, but not a man who is obviously genuinely contrite and is begging your kind forgiveness?
What if you needed forgiveness for uttering Christianophobic hatred? Would you not expect and appreciate it? What kind of a person are you, hating someone even following an unreserved, complete apology for being a stupid asshat a long time ago, but not anymore? Why not give him the benefit of the doubt, accept his apology and forgive? Prove yourself the bigger man; take the moral high road... or prove yourself the opposite, and worse. Your choice. And don't go around saying things about the Prime Minister like that; it makes you look like a partisan demagogue rather than a lucid-thinking Parliamentarian and servant of all Canadians, not just "gay" ones, and not just yourself.
