f your going to live up to this higher standards, then you should be absolutely outraged by the Liberal comments about the KKK, cross burning, Parrishes rants against the Amercans and others.
You should be reaching the same conclusions about the Liberal members as the conservatives.
But as it stands, when a Liberal does it we hear little if anything, hell even an apology is not demanded.
But when a conservative does it, the world comes to an end and we start hearing statements about hatemongering and intolerance.
The Conservatives have to live up to an impossible double standard, that our government doesn't have to.
Thats whats so annoying and frustrating for people like me.
Should he have stated things the way he stated it, probably not, but what he said was not untrue, and was pulled from feelings as opposed to a political agenda, and even though he did apologize on hind site, the topic header was a typically snotty "Replying to More 'tolerance' CPC style", without even looking past that first banner. Its apparent that even if the CPC came out and said they would honour any Liberal deals in case of election, or they came out with a platform of pupppies and money for orphans, it would be ignored because people who support the Liberals are so far sold on thier theory that the CPC are social de-constructuralists who hate everything and everybody and just want to get thier hands on the charter, that they refuse to listen to anything beyond thier own personal theories.
Somehow in Canadian politics, the message has become completely lost, and it has become a battle of style over substance.
You could also say the same thing about CPC supporters and the Liberals in the west, but the Conservatives have attempted reproachment with the East, while the Liberals have abandoned any reproachment with the west.

Shall we start this up again Captain?
Or you could be justified with those comments because of their disparagment against Italians by maintaining they're all mafia types. Look that's Italians they've got preconceived ideas about and now "Japs" too.
Oh and for the record I'm with you on the statements about Americans by Parrish, but oh look she was dealt with. A message was sent that that's not tolerated in the Liberal party.
