Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has been sidetracked from his campaign duties by having to do damage control after it was revealed that one of his Liberal election candidates in Quebec is a white supremacist.
Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has ordered an immediate investigation into one of his Quebec candidates, the founder of a white-rights group.
André Forbes, the Liberal candidate in Manicouagan, is reported in various newspaper and magazine articles calling aboriginal Canadians “featherheads” (...)
Well, well, well... I guess, using the same logic the Liberals themselves have used in the past, that this means that the Liberal Party of Canada is full of extremists and bigots.
Oh, wait... we already know that!
I'm sorry, Mr. Ignatieff, but if you cannot run a clean, non-racist party, well, then I'm afraid you simply cannot be Prime Minister...
I'd recommend that you aggressively root out ALL kinds of supremacists from the Liberal Party of Canada before it's too late. This includes not only white supremacists but also, for example, anti-Semites and Islamic supremacists.
Otherwise, the Liberal Party will be condemned to the far-left-wing fringes from now on.

Naw, they're not. They've certainly got bigots - like every party.
Hope this yahoo gets thrown out on his ass.
'if you cannot run a clean, non-racist party, well, then I'm afraid you simply cannot be Prime Minister..'
Really? So, the presence of an acknowledged racist in a party means the leader of that party can't be Prime Minister?
Just checking here, CS, before I go any further. That IS what you're saying, correct?
Hmm. I must be pretty influential to be dissed so intensely and frequently by a professional left-wing spinning-guy... ;)
Do you believe the presence of an acknowledged racist in a party means the leader of that party can't be Prime Minister?
Just read that Ignatieff has announced that the racist will NOT be running for the Liberals.
That's a good thing, isn't it, CS? I really think a party leader should act decisively and immediately when they discover a racist in their ranks, don't you agree? Yes, I believe you said that - that if a leader "can't run a clean, non-racist party", then they "simply cannot be Prime Minister".
That is what you said, and what you believe, right?
Crickets...and I think we both know why. :)
Didn't hear any crickets, but I think a bearded bedbug in a funny green hat bit me... *scratch, scratch*
Where's the diatomaceous earth? A good dusting of the blog should do the trick...
Oh, so you ARE reading. Just ignoring an embarrassing question, I guess? :)
So?
The reason I'm asking, Sentinel, is that I'm trying to gauge your integrity here. I'd like to know whether you actually believe the very high principled statement you made.
Do you?
Still no comment. That's a little weird.
Let me explain in slightly greater detail.
An honest man - someone with integrity - will condemn racism where he sees it, regardless of how he feels about the party that nurtures it. For example: the racism expressed by the Liberal in question was wrong. And Ignatieff was right to remove him.
A propagandist, on the other hand, doesn't really care about racism - unless it's a useful stick to beat the OTHER guys with. When it occurs on the propagandist's side of the fence - hey, no problem.
So. You made a very principled statement. You said a leader "can't run a clean, non-racist party", then they "simply cannot be Prime Minister".
Now, if you're an honest man - a man with a little integrity - you'll agree that statement should be applied to all parties and leaders, including Stephen Harper. That's what I believe.
What do you believe, Sentinel? Do you believe that a leader who "can't run a clean, non-racist party simply cannot be Prime Minister"?
You're taking a long, long time to answer a very simple question.
Fact is- CS is well aware of what you're doing Balbulican. And he's being ironic, you may have missed it, being so far over to the left that irony and humour go over your head.
