There are going to be boneheads in all parties. Racists like Heidi Fry represent the Liberals. The NDP... well, I guess I would be a homophobic bigot if I stated a dislike for Svend Robinson. He certantly would call me one.
I dunno. I think a party should be judged by it's policy, not by it's extremists.
