I could judt see it now if the same thing happened with the tories. There would be a HUGE out dry if a few members were holding a party and some of the suggestions were: abortion illegal, military force is a priority, no more health care, no more social assitance, no immigration.
If the leader of the tories didn't come out within minutes of the story breaking then the entire media group would be all over it.

I don't find it disturbing. There hasn't been that big an outcry about it (one article in a not-very-respected newspaper and some conservative guy's blog), so that's hardly enough criticism to warrant Layton making a big deal about it and drawing further attention. If a conservative booster said something and nobody significant in the media batted an eyelash about it, I'm guessing Harper wouldn't spout off a big denial and draw unnecessary attention, either. I won't argue that the conservatives get more critism for things that they say, though.
