Yet again we see Liberals being bigoted, spewing discriminatory nonsense... as if they believe it's ok because they're liberals and always get away with it...
Neither Rae nor Ignatieff is ancient. Rae is 60 and Ignatieff is 61. Both Toronto MPs say age has nothing to do with how old you are, but how you think and act.
While LeBlanc, 40, says the Liberals need "a generational change in our leadership," Rae warns against "ageism" - qualifying or disqualifying a candidate on the basis of their birth date. "That's a stupid thing to do," he said in an interview.
I guess M. LeBlanc is effectively saying to Liberals, "Elect me your leader if you hate old farts!"
Of course, it's also a case of "look who's talking":
Though he's two decades younger than Rae and Ignatieff, some young Liberals find LeBlanc, a New Brunswick MP, no spring chicken either. "He's my parent's age," groans a 19-year-old activist in the party's youth wing.
Guess then that Little Dominic is an "old fart", too, himself... hell, he's even older than I am!!!
Looks like this ugly ageism thing isn't just a problem of former Governor General Romeo's little boy, either, as there's other Liberals who share this intolerance with him:
"I think age is going to be a big factor in this campaign," said Keith White of St. John's, Nfld., one of Ignatieff's national youth co-ordinators. "A lot of people are acknowledging that maybe it's time for a new generation, a younger generation." However, White, 25, said the fact that "Michael is an older gentleman" does not mean he would not make the best leader. "Young age doesn't necessarily mean young ideas."
Oh, come on, Keith... you guys are Liberals. Your ideas are all old... after all, spread-the-wealth socialism and liberal fascism are old ideas, and you guys cannot seem to shake 'em from your agenda...
Well, just the latest look at what's otherwise a big yawner of a leadership "race"... I'll now go back to watching my plants grow...
Oh, by the way, hey, Warren Kinsella... you're too old to be a propaganda hitman anymore... you're feeble-minded, your brain farts like it eats buckets of beans and eggs, and you're gonna screw up big time, pal! And I'll be there to point it out. Maybe I'll even use a stuffed dinosaur for effect!
(Warren Kinsella is returning to the Liberal Party to resume his nasty propaganda hitman job and is backing Michael Ignatieff. This time around he'll find that it won't be so easy to get away with the absolutely disgusting nonsense of steaming, stinking bovine excrement he spews, however...)
