The NDP reminds me of the ex girlfriend that takes every single small thing you said, dissects it, takes it out of context, extrapolates nefarious meaning and then tells everyone what a bad person you are because of all the horrible things you've ever said. it's destructive, divisive behaviour and far, far more destructive to our society than the original comments, and unfortunately, this voice is echoed by the fools who are way too eager to jump on board and give them credence.

You're right, "Muslims are the reason for the rape crisis" is far less destructive and divisive than "that person said muslims are the reason for the rape crisis."
What I find very fascinating is the efforts of certain types of people of trying to change the narrative, how it is no longer wrong to say hateful, "destructive" things, but pointing them out is now for "fools" and some sort of "mean girl" antics.
It's time those certain types of people grow up and own their words. That means being willing to stand behind them, respond to criticism, and not just blame everyone else for your words and running away if someone dares question you. It's very sad to see a number of UCP candidates and many more UCP supporters deflect any and all ownership of their own words and blame the NDP for being "mean." Grow up people.
