Looks like the Liberal-loyal Toronto Star has conducted its profiling exercise and has decided who it would like to be next Liberal leader.
They're trying to create a buzz about a fellow named Michael "Pinball" Clemons.
Well, he sounds like a nice fellow so far. With an impressive list of accomplishments. Like someone you'd like to know.
But I ask why the Toronto (Red) Star has decided to identify as a potential Liberal leader a guy who has so much in common with Barack Obama?
What kind of profiling is the TorStar conducting?
I noticed that there's nothing much in the way of mention of Mr. Clemons's political ideology at all. Except for the fact that he opposes the war to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Cliche! What, is that all they need to know? What if he was known to have just one "right-wing" position... just one... would the TorStar then consider making him their special media creation? I wonder what his position is on abortion and ssm? Whether he realizes and openly, unshyly agrees that there is a threat to our freedoms from radical, supremacist, imperialist Islam? If he dares state a position clearly, as opposed to vaguely/murkily? Or if he would rather be politically correct? Probably doesn't matter, unless he were to change his mind and try his hand at politics.
That raises questions. Like, doesn't the TorStar care about what the guy's political ideology is at all?
Or do they just want a Canadian Obama, and do they want to be the MSM outlet that creates a whole new myth, legend, messiah, whatever, to parallel the one they see in America?
The Toronto Star just isn't serious, so I don't see how we can take the Toronto Star seriously.
They're just dreaming in that fluff piece. It's not newsworthy, really, as far as I'm concerned.
