You Stay Classy, Patrick Brown

Tories charged with rape are actually Liberals: Barrie MP

But as Lynda Murtha, media assistant to Liberal MPP Aileen Carroll, says: that's all "past tense". The alleged perps are all Tories now, and until very recently one was head of the (currently defunct) Barrie riding association.

Update: Here's Brown welcoming one of the alleged perps into the Barrie's Multicultural Association.

It's all stupid.

I mean.. they are Canadians, so, really, aren't we ALL tarnished?

I mean, so Warraich was a strong Liberal supporter for 10 years.. and then recetly joined the Tories.

So what?

What is the implication? That eiher group harbors rapists? Is that where we're going with this?

Democracy is sick. Someone shoot it already.

I like how Rob highlights the (allegedly) most indicting part of that article.

How clever.

You're doing this on purpose. You should be ashamed of yourself.

TG. The point. Which you missed. Again. Is why does the political affiliation of this guy matter at all?

His act (if found guilty) hardly has any relevance to the broader issue of who someone should vote for, Conservative, Liberal or otherwise.

Engaging in a debate about whether he was really a Liberal or a Conservative, by either party's supporters, simply prolongs the stupidity of it.

Ok.. who's worse, the Liberals because he was there longer, or the Conservatives because he was there last?

Answer: the whole point of what party he supported and when is just more hyper-partisan bullshit that demeans the seriousness of political debate and decision making.

Ok, TG, now you can bitch about THAT.
