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.

Sorry ot say this but pull your head out of your ass. No one said that all Italians were mafia types... well the Liberals went on a tear about how that was what the CPC stood for, but you know with nothign to back that up. Hell if the Liberals were that concerned about the way in which the Italian community was being represented would they not go to the source, and you know try and stop the Sopranos from being shown in Canada.... no. Actually according to the CRTC and the cabinet member responsible there was nothing of the sort that could be seen on the show.... well until the CPC has a member which was holding a poster which compared the Liberals to a criminal organization. N one was saying that all Liberals were Italian, or that all Italians were Liberals, or that all Liberals were members of the Italian mafia, or that all italians were criminals. It is a huge reach to come to that conclusion, and one which is not only unsubstantiated, but it is actually foolish. If it was a Russian mafia that the Liberals faces photoshopped in, would that mean that the conservatives hate all Russians, and if they hate Russians do they then support the Chechians, or that all Russians used to be run under a communist state, and China is a communist state, so that means that all CPC party members hate the Chinese.
He shouldn't have said Japs, no one is disagreeing with that. He appologized, and admitted his mistake, something the Liberal party has been unwilling to do for the past decade, well where would they find the time, they have to continually insult and slander anyone who is the least bit right of center. A complete double standard exists, and one that I am getting sick and tired of.
But then again who am I do say anything, I support the CPC, so I guess I am a biggoted slack jawed yokel.
Claeren I can guarentee you that if you look into each party you will find that there are individuals who put their foots in their mouth. Hell Jean Chretian was invovled in pepper-spraying peacefull protesters and also stangleing them. Then using quotes from a provincial politican to make your case (the Alberta MLA) hell why don't we just say that all Liberal drink and drive, because if you look at the Liberal Party of BC.
