Has Bob Rae spotted an opportunity to break from his damaging association with the terrorist sympathizing NDP? These quotes were sent by reader email, reportedly from an interview with Amanda Lang on ROB TV on Wednesday. (If anyone can find online sources for verification, I'd appreciate that.)
"Canda as a country is committed to Israel's sovereignty and Israel's right to exist within secure boundaries" "Canada is not unneutral in this regard- we have a strong stake in the outcome""Hezbollah is a group that does not believe Israel has a right to exist period. It's not that they disagree with this border or that-it's that they don't believe Israel has a right to exist. Everybody has to wake up to that."
Note that Rae believes "everybody" has to "wake up" to something that's been blazingly obvious to most rational human beings for at least a decade. It says something about the company he's been keeping.
Be sure to bookmark the Progressive Bloggers for forthcoming analysis on how Bob Rae is nothing less than a warmongering shill for the Zionists and fascist Bushitler neocons.
update - the source is at RobTV.com. Go to 5:00 PM show "Taking Stock with Amanada Lang". The interview is not listed in the program segments, but comes just before the interview with Arturo Duran - at the 36:00 min mark
Unneutral? sounds so fair and balanced.
"Unneutral"? Even worse, the(unconfirmed) quote is "not unneutral" which is the blithering drivel of a deranged mind incapable of stating, with clarity, "not neutral". So many years of weaseling and lying appears to have done some permanent damage.

Although it is not listed on the differnt segments of the program Taking Stock with Amanda Lang 5:00 PM ET the interview occurs just before the interview with Arturo Duran.
Specificly at 36:00 mark
We must study carefully the nuance of being not unneutral versus supporting.
For instance, in the case of Michael Moore, we could say that his contribution to the Democrat's swing to to the far left is not unbloated versus enormous.
Bob Rae does in fact have some pre-existing relationship with Israel; I seem to remember him being there over Christmas or New Year's in '94. Some combination vacation/meetings thing.
There was an op-ed in which Rae outright condemned the NDP for not supporting Israel. I'll try to dig up the link.

Bob isnt a stupid man (backhanded compliment if there ever was one) and in fact gets smarter with age as all the wolly headed socialist ideas he had are proven to be failures.
The problem is he starts out with the dumb ideas until they get tried....I figure by the time is about 80 he should be ready.
And Bob's wife and children are Jewish as well (not that this should necessarily affect his opinions or make them less valid).
Bob wants to send your $$$$$$$$ to hezbollah, hamas, fatah?
Bob Rae is a tax/spend socialist. Beware the jub-jub Bob/Bird. ...-

I had the same thought about Rae, that as he gets older he seems to get disabused of more and more of his "progressive" impulses, and will end his days as a right winger.
Bob Rae is a contender the title of 'Most Incompetent Liberal Leader' - having demonstrated a broad range of incompetence as Premier of the People's Republic of Ontario.
However, he must be congratulated for being rational long enough, at least this one time, to recognize that Canadians probably shouldn't support fascist killers - kudos Bob! That's amazing progress for an NDP'er or whatever you are today!
For this single foray into reality alone - Bob Rae deserves to become leader of the Liberal Party of Toronto!
Bof has his chance now to pick which rally to attend. pro Isreal or Hezb'allah.
Don't you mean "George W Harper". He apes everything "George W" does right down to how he adjusts the buttons on his suit. Who voted for him?? And why??? No one seems to have an answer.
He's not quite a slimy as Mulrooooney was but give him awhile.
Screw all these taliban ! Pull everyone out and nuke them . If women and children die , well it sucks to be them
Just think with all the nukes America has , as well as the former Soviet Union , we could gid rid of all most all Terrorists.Nuke Afghanistan , and Iraq , not to mention a few other places , the world could live in peace .If you think I am cruel , what about the big tidal wave that hit a couple of years ago , do we in the West really care ? We realy don't , we are too busy making money , and paying off our pathetic homes. Life goes on as usual ,I got to drive little " Billie " , to school ! LOL
