During the last election I hoped that the Progressive side would launch a YouTube assault on Stephen Harper's Con thugs. And make them pay for the brutish bully ads they fired at Stephane Dion. It didn't happen then, but now it finally has..... and it's awesome.
From the brilliant ad in that post about the creationist chiropractor posing as a Science Minister.
To the wonderful work of The Amazing Grit Girl....
And the best part is because these progressive attack ads are so classy... the horrible attack Cons don't know what to do. Except whine and make empty threats. If the Conservatives are holding their fire so they won’t be blamed for playing politics during this economic crisis, the Liberals and their proxies have just given them the green light and the media wouldn’t hold much credibility if they said the Tories fired first. When in fact the Con ads are probably so brutish and dumb they don't even DARE launch them. Because they would only remind Canadians that attacks ads and Harper's sleazy Cons go together like shit and toilet paper. And make Great Pretend Liberal Leader look like a right-wing asshole. Again. I believe we call that being hoisted on your own petard...or drowned in your own CRAPPER. Now due to my almost complete lack of editing skills..... I'm not quite sure what MY attack videos are going to look like. But I think it's safe to say thatGreat Monster Leader will NOT look his best in them. And that although I'd like to be as classy as The Grit Girl ....I'm sorry to say I wouldn't really be surprised. If they ended up looking and sounding a bit like this one....
Except that in my videos the inflatable Harper doll won't say anything vulgar. Just "I saw it coming....OUCH !!! "The economy is strong ...WAAAH !!! " And the dog will just say: "I know what I'm doing....WOOF WOOF !!!" Over and over again. Until the doll springs a leak or blows up. PFFFFFT. *POP.* And the punchline comes on: Stephen Harper's Conservatives: Fucking ...Blowing it up as they go along.
C'mon comrades it's time to storm the barricades....and master those editing skills.
I usually try to avoid watching CTV news, because ever since the Mike Duffy outrage I consider them the broadcasting armpit of the Stephen Harper Party. But I was flicking through their so-called news channel today and there was the ridiculous little dickhead Peewee Poilievre blabbing on about an NDP plot. Which was so absurd it really made me wonder about the mental state of the RepubliCons. How could they send out that nasty little prick to talk about ANYTHING?
And why is John Baird acting as Great Chicken Leader's messenger boy these days....instead of just his consort? Or ridiculous Transport Minister....
Are these Cons DESPERATE or what? As for the so-called "plot" who the fuck cares who talked to who first? The only thing it proves is that the coalition was motivated by more than the party funding part of the bill. That some could see where the Harperites were leading this country and were trying to do something to save it. Because you've got to start somewhere. So good for Jack. And the fact that these Cons are now bugging private conversations after threatening to kill democracy is just ANOTHER good reason to throw these thugs out. They can scream like rats and do foul ratty things ...while their leader gnaws his nuts off...and wonders what happened? And where did that majority go? WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
But nothing will save them now.Because NOTHING can change the fact that in a time of economic crisis instead of governing they tried to play their dirty political games instead. They tried to kill democracy, and they put their alien ideology before the real needs of suffering Canadians.
Just like nothing can change the fact that we need a Great Progressive Coalition to save our beautiful country from these scummy Cons even MORE today than we did yesterday.
So my advice is just ignore them. Don't let their desperate screams distract us. Because that's what they want. Concentrate on coming together, and building a great and noble coalition that will show them that we are not just MORE than they are. Many many more. We are also so much BETTER than them.
And that's why they gotta go. Before they turn this country into the kind of sewer where they like to romp and roam. But we don't.
Aren't we lucky that a beautiful progressive coalition is about to be born, to save us from these evil ratty Cons?
GO BABY GO !!!!!
Catch them. Squish them.
Finish them off... ---------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Does this mean before we overthrow them we can ARREST them? BONUS....
I ask that question because the Uber Hound of the Blogging Tories seems to think it might be a good idea.
This would provide some breathing room for the government and let Canadians consider a Bloc-supporter NDP-Liberal coalition while they eat their Christmas dinners and/or get together for their holiday parties.
The opposition will cry foul, but it’s within the Prime Minister’s power. The effect on Ottawa would be to pour some cold water on the heated political atmosphere on the Hill.
And when Great Crazy Leader's little blogging poodle barks you know what that means...the PMO boys have been scratching his tummy. So let me get this straight. First they threaten to kill democracy, destroy pay equity, and deny the public service the right to strike. And call that an economic update. While failing to provide any help for Canadian workers who are losing their jobs all over the country. Even though economists point out these idiot ideologues don't know what they are doing. “This economic statement has done little but inject venom into Canada’s politics and uncertainty into the minds of already worried consumers and businesses. And of course, it has badly undermined the credibility of a government whose nasty partisanship used to be balanced by an image of competence. Now it looks both partisan and inept.” Then they delay the debate on the economic statement until December 8. Then they back down and say they won't kill democracy after all. Not at this time anyway. And now they are threatening to shutdown Parliament altogether...even as the country sinks further into recession? Huh? Holy Mussolini. Are we still living in Canada or is this the Duce of Grand Fenwick? Are these crazy RepubliCons and their truly disturbed leader out of control or what? That's why I'm with Scott Reid. First things first: take him out.
After all, Stephen Harper is the most dangerous animal lurking in the jungles of Parliament....He doesn't play to win. He plays to conquer. Under his guidance, the public interest is always subjugated to his personal political advancement. And he poisons Parliament with an extreme, bare-fanged breed of partisanship that has no hope of repair until he is banished.
Their imperative could not be more clear: kill him. Kill him dead. Do not, whatever you do, provide him with an opportunity to extend his hold on power. Because you can be damn certain he will never again be so reckless as to give you a chance to finish him off. By even considering shutting down Parliament. By playing more dirty political games in the midst of a crisis, these foul criminally incompetent Cons have sealed their fate. And have shown us yet again why we NEED a Great Progressive Coalition to save our beautiful country. Don't back down now. These Cons MUST be defeated. Crush them. Squash them. Finish them off....
"In light of the government's failure to recognize the seriousness of Canada's economic situation and its failure in particular to present any credible plan to stimulate the Canadian economy … this House has lost confidence in this government and is of the opinion that a viable alternative government can be formed." I've been staring at that Liberal motion for about five minutes. I can't quite believe it. Can Canada's long nightmare really be almost over? Can the foul neocon tyrant really be toppled? I see Great Angry Leader knows he's just made the biggest mistake of his disgusting political career. And he's running for cover like a coward. But it won't save him. Because the representatives of more than sixty per cent of the Canadian people have every right to bring down a government that would put its evil alien ideology before the lives of real people at a scary time like this one. And condemn millions to lives of MISERY. And because these filthy RepubliCons are trying to kill Canadian democracy so they can turn our country into a jungle. And if tomorrow they don't succeed they'll try it again and again until they do. So they must be STOPPED if the Canada we love is to survive. As you probably know I've always dreamed about a coalition or a united left, and I've always called Stephen Harper a MONSTER. Not just because he's raped our beautiful Canadian values...turned our Parliament into a fascist sewer....and disgraced us in the eyes of the world. But above all because he's such a foul stinking BULLY. He can't help it. It's in his genes. And as a gay guy I hate bullies more than anything else in the world. So tonight I just want to send out a message of encouragement to all the members of the Great Canadian Coalition, who could be about to make this gay boy's dream come true. Tell them not to be discouraged, or nervous, or afraid....but bold, decisive and BRAVE. Because what they are doing is a great and wonderful thing. And Canada and future generations of Canadians will thank them FOREVER. And I want to end with some musical encouragement, courtesy of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. Rehearsing a song called My Rising Up from New World Waking....
Now we're rising up. Because enough is ENOUGH. A New Canada is waking. Long live our beautiful country and the Great Canadian Coalition !!!!!
Down with the bully !!!!! Down with the TYRANT !!!!
When I watched little Jimbo Flaherty present his so-called economic update today at first I was stunned. Then I started to laugh. No deficits? Just Surpluses? But no GUARANTEES? Oh no. You don't say. Muahahaha. It was the Mad Hatter's tea party with Stephen Harper as the Mad Neocon and little Jimbo as the March Budget Hare!!! It was THAT unreal. There’s a thin line between a government putting on its best face to stare down a gloomy situation and practicing fiscal delusion. With this document, Finance Minister Flaherty crossed the line.
And then I got angry. How dare those angry RepubliCons go after the representatives of the sixty percent of Canadians who didn't vote for them? How dare they play their brutish Rovian political games at a time of crisis like this one? How dare these inhuman fanatics put their alien jungle ideology before the real lives of frightened and suffering people? "Everyone was shocked. Some female managers were crying. Everyone else was really quiet. People are just trying to get through the day. It's hard to think about the future."
"I'm too old....How am I going to find a job when everyone else looking for one is young and has finished school?" Shame on them. Enough is ENOUGH. I don't know if a coalition government is possible.
But I do know one thing. If we don't move mountains with our bare bleeding hands to try to make it happen we'll regret it FOREVER. And history will never forgive us. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions. Let's crash this Mad Neocon tea party.
Earlier today in another post I had a little fun with the way the progressive party leaders hammered Stephen Harper last night. @%#$&!.... POW....SMACK!!! I mean now that Stephane Dion says we should have fun, I guess EVERYONE must be happy. Eh? But after the fun comes the WARNING. I'm glad to see the Liberals seem to be recovering, that the NDP is giving them a run for their money, and that Elizabeth May is a STAR. And of course that Margaret Atwood and I both think Gilles Duceppe is a Canadian hero. In Toronto on Friday, Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe launched a blistering attack against the Harper government, saying the Conservative leader's vision is "alien to Quebec and, I suspect, to Canada as well." Because he's right of course. A RepubliCon majority WOULD be a disaster for Canada. And the cold hard facts are that as each progressive party gains in support,the MORE the split on the left is magnified. And the LOWER the threshhold for that hideous majority becomes. Once they needed about 40percent to be sure of a majority. Today or tomorrow they might need only need 37 percent.. Yeah yeah I know. There are more encouraging polls. But one should always plan for the worst case scenario. What if Harper's Cons ARE within range of a majority? Even though he is a dangerous puppet of the failed Bush regime. Even though he would rape our beautiful Canadian values. Even though he will lead us to disaster. Even though he would turn this country into a neocon jungle. Even though the monster is a threat to EVERYTHING we hold precious.
So that's why I plan to vote strategically. In a calm, intelligent, educated manner. Using all the tools at my disposal. And I urge everyone to at least consider doing the same. Because our beautiful country is in danger. And defeat is NOT an option....
