I didn't read that whole intent at all with that poster. Tying the Liberals too a ficticious and exaggerated crime family from a highly rated T.V. show pales in comparison to calling a conservative party Klansmen, but I shouldn't expect more from the Liberals as they make it a habit to paint anyone thats not in thier special interest groups as racist and undesirable.
If the MP has problems with the Soprano's painting Italians in a bad way maybe he should make a statement comparing the writers of that show to the Klan since he's so willing to bellow racism from the ivory tower that he lives on.
Hey maybe he and Hiedi Fry (sp?) can form a website called peabrained.com

I think portraying that stereo type show's wanton ill thinking by the PC. That show did indeed have many Italian Americans up in arms about racial stereotyping. So I disagree 100 percent, that it pales in comparison. If I'm black and you make an inappropriate racist comment I might well turn around and say you're a clansman. That reciprocated remark is not worse than the racist one in the first place.

Apologies, but I'm not buying it, if the poster had Paul Martin as John Gotti, and Jean Chretian as Al Capone I could see it, but moving from a T.V. show cultural icon event to racism against the mob to me is a stretch, where as dunderhead directly went to comparing the conservatives to the Clan.
I'm just not seeing your comparison.
Sorry
