Nenshi should clarify the response to those not familiar with it, and probably should have refrained from using it in the first place because of the controversial nature of it. Having said that, Ezra is a total hack journalist, (i use the term journalist loosely here) and completely knows what a loaded question is, and Nenshi ended up feeding a twitter troll.

read the 1st paragraph, that's not a coincidence.
WOW cc, i hadn't seen your response to "down in flames" when i wrote this. i didn't even need to call you an idiot, your words more than speak for themself. |
You're calling me an idiot, I would find it insulting if it didn't come from a semi ######ed response like yours.
Fine whatever
At least I don't throw personal insults around, way to go
Jacka$$
My point stands. This isn't a law school dormitory, this is a mayor that is suppossed to represent our city and his office on a professional level, and he completely failed to do so. and I don't give two craps if its a supposed acceptable argument point or question. As for the whole Levant thing, you can say what you want, I would probably agree, the guy is over the top and grating, but he is asking legitimate questions that probably should be answered, and that makes it valid journalism.
To me Nenshi's blast is unprofessional and using the beat your wife thing is completely unprofessional. But then again the big weakness of Nenshi is that his ego is bigger then his common sense at time.
As for you, smoothpops. I'm just using jacka$$ as an acceptable debating tactic.
As well as the term moron and goof.
