Good times for the Carolyn Parrish Wing* of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Boy, you sure wouldn't want that kind of stuff to get into the papers...

I love free speech. And I love the Internet. Give a Liberal free reign to talk and a soapbox to do it on, and my work is done. I can lean back with an ale and watch the show. Awesome.
Upon going to the liked article titled: "Liberals need to deal with fruitcakes in the ranks", right next to is is an ad picturing a can of Raid Flying Insect spray. LOL!
A can of Raid - parrishhhhhhhhhhhh...
What? The Liberals say stupid things? NO!
Isn't Carolyn Parrish any Iggy supporter ?
What was it Iggy said during the last leadership campaign about Israel and war crimes.....caused Mrs. Cotler to tear up her membership.
what always amazes me is that jewish folk still vote lieberal and democrat.
The can of raid is not advertising...it is the illustration for the article.
Still comical though.
More amazing than the fact that a large organization harbors nutters, is the absolute hostility and incredible level of denial when you point that out. Even more shocking is how influential this fringe actually appears to be within Liberal ranks.
Most troubling of all though, are the excuses. Just shut up and deal with what is obviously a problem. Canada needs a strong and loyal opposition, not what we have now.
That article from Kelley McParland is right on. Maybe the sane Liberals can just join the Conservative Party and let the NDP be the official opposition. The lunatics can start their own party or join Lizzy May's silly little troop.
Shocka!
Seems like only last week they had their convention where a beaming Mo el-Masry sat and flyers were distributed by a “broad strata” of the Liberal floor over Arlene Rae’s propensity for good deli, gefilte fish, and Mogan David wine.
I think that there are several things going on here.
First, bias is not confined to one set of people; all people can be biased; we've all seen misinformed, uninformed comments made by both sides of, for example, the Israeli-Palestinian position. So it's not a question of Conservatives are right/wrong, and Liberals are right/wrong.
But what is going on when the Liberal Party, long a traditional home of the Jewish community in Canada, seems to be moving away from this community? Not merely via individual posters but even in its official representatives?
My own view is that the Liberal Party has always focused its interest, not in policies, but in power. Power rests on one thing only: votes.
The development of multiculturalism set up immigrants to Canada, not as integrated within the community as they were prior to 1980, but as isolate and distinct blocs, dependent on government funding to remain isolate and distinct - with their own community centres, schools, and programs to maintain themselves with their old beliefs and behaviour.
This policy which kept immigrant groups separate and dependent on government funding also established these groups as huge voting blocs. These blocs became important to the Liberals during the Chretien years, and they are now vital to the Liberal plan to return to power.
Statistics Canada tells us that in the city of Toronto, which has over 50% of its population as 'visible minority', the Islamic religion stands at over 6%, while the Jewish population is about 3.5%. Muslims in Ontario and particularly in Toronto - comprise about 61% of all Muslims in Canada.
In 1991, the Ontario Muslim ratio was 1.5, and Jewish was 1.8. In 2001, the ratio was Muslim 3.5 and Jewish 1.7. As of 2009, this difference is becoming larger.
So, the focus in the officialdom of the Liberal Party, is about Votes. The reason for the bias among non-official Liberals as differentiated from the bias among non-official Conservatives - I have no idea.
Is that old broad Parrish still working for the Liberals? Her old seat, Mississauga-Erindale has gone Conservative. Ears Alghabra got the boot so no doubt the Liberals in the riding will be plotting new lies to spread around.
That's all they need to round out their bankrupt state, an unknown embryo leader and a bevy of wackos with loose lips.
Having Mo Elmasry as a Liberal member is another bad omen, but hey, the Jewish community love their Liberals, it's a tradition going back generations.
And some more statistics, which tell us that Toronto has the highest concentration of Muslims in any city in the US or Canada; that 21 federal ridings have a 7 to 14% Muslims population; that 91% are first generation residents here.
This makes them a significant voting bloc, especially and importantly, since our disastrous multicultural policy insists on immigrants retaining their old beliefs and behaviour, rejects integration and collaboration with others, and sets these isolate groups up to be dependent on government funding to remain 'culturally pure'. The Muslim population is a vital key to the Liberal goal of returning to power.
"My own view is that the Liberal Party has always focused its interest, not in policies, but in power"~ET
"Always" is a long time ET. Surely at some point in history they were actually liberal; or else how could they have adopted that name? ;)
In any case I think you're correct in that today's LPC has one overriding belief - the belief that they deserve to be in power.
Kelly sadly seems to agree with all the Liberal bias by labelling certain Conservatives as nutjobs. That is only 'true' because of years of progressive bigotry in the media passed off as middle-of-the-road Canadian values.
Anyone who is a person of faith, or is against abortion is automatically a far-right nutcase. Their views must be ridiculed and their voices silenced.
Bullshit. The fact is that Liberals have always been the tyrant loving, freedom hating, racist, bigots but they have been able to promote themselves as mainstream without question from a similarly bigoted press.
The net is changing that as people can now see for themselves just what makes Liberals tick.
Harper moved to quiet social conservatives because he knows full well how the lying liberals and their media henchmen would sell it to the public. Remember Barney and Stockwell Day? The constant media screaming would make it all but impossible for him to deal with more substantial issues. The party would be made to look mean and intolerant, guiding the 'smart' people to vote Liberal.
Yet Kelly can't see that those who have been labelling Conservatives and Christians as "bad" all this time are the mainstream Liberals whose intolerance is now on display.
The !@#$@#$ Liberals deserve the scorn being heaped their way, but for Kelly to equate someone who is against the state sanctioned murder of the unborn to people and groups who wish to exterminate a whole race is beyond the pale.
It simply proves once again that the 'elites' in the media wish to shut up and shout down anyone who strays from the progressive plantation.
The current display of nazi like tendencies amidst their rank is embarrasing them.
It's about time.
Ears Alghabra got the boot ...
Last I read "Ears" and Navdeep Bain of Brampton were already plotting to whom they would deliver the Muslim and Sikh voting bloc.
BTW, Bob Dechert, who thankfully beat out "Ears," seems like a straight-shooting no-nonsense kind of guy.
Don't worry. The rest of the weasel media will protect themselves/iberals rom the nuts like they protected themselves/liberals from what would have been the bad PR of Rosanne Skoke (that is, bad PR had she been a Conservative...)
There's a scripted message in the front entrance of my church.
“This is the house of prayer for all nations."
What we're seeing in the conflict is a fight between two groups of people whose identity is underpinned in tribal philosophies.
All nations means ALL nations.
It's impossible to resolve this conflict without understanding that the only race is the human race.
"What we're seeing in the conflict is a fight between two groups of people whose identity is underpinned in tribal philosophies."~set you free
Did you learn this in your church syf?
Set you free, "all nations" is a Western value, more particularly a Christian value. The Liberals sounding off don't share your values. What they want is to take over the country, shut your church down, and make you do it their way.
That's what they've been doing since Trudeau, only just now have people started waking up to what the consequences of that are going to be.
The wriggling and contorions of the little progressives in defence of their false gods would be comical if it were not so sickeningly repulsive.
glasnost, actually, set you free is quite correct; a major part of the ME problem is the conflict between tribalism and industrialism. These are each totally different structures of sociopolitical-economic organization.
Think of these structures as if they were skeleton formations of an organic entity. The two different forms permit two different types of existences. One form, the tribal enables an organism with a medium size energy-content (population, food); think of a fish or turtle; another form, the industrial, enables a large size energy content; think of a chimpanzee or elephant.
But in this case, underlying the differences in societal organization, we are all members of the same species.
“What we're seeing in the conflict is a fight between two groups of people whose identity is underpinned in tribal philosophies.”~ set you free
“…set you free is quite correct; a major part of the ME problem is the conflict between tribalism and industrialism…”~ ET’s response (partly)
ET, you are taking giant intellectual (academic) leaps that for some reason you expect others to follow. Although you have an excellent ability to engage in esoteric dialogue, you often appear challenged when confronted with the need to actually communicate.
Yo, Kate, I was wondering what you and your merry band of neocons thought of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff's plan to invade and occupy Israel?
That's right, I said Iggy wants to invade Israel, and I've got the link to prove it:
www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,4397277-103552,00.html
I can understand the Canadian media burying this story, but et tu, Kate?, as the pompous poseur himself might say? I direct your attention to the following (bonus: he compares Israel to apartheid South Africa!):
Why Bush must send in his troops
Imposing a two-state solution is the last chance for Middle East peace
Michael Ignatieff
Friday April 19, 2002
guardian.co.uk
Two years ago, an American friend took me on a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Golan Heights over the Palestinian West Bank. He wanted to show me how vulnerable Israel was, how the Arabs only had to cross 11km of land to reach the sea and throw the Israelis into it. I got this message but I also came away with another one. When I looked down at the West Bank, at the settlements like Crusader forts occupying the high ground, at the Israeli security cordon along the Jordan river closing off the Palestinian lands from Jordan, I knew I was not looking down at a state or the beginnings of one, but at a Bantustan, one of those pseudo-states created in the dying years of apartheid to keep the African population under control.
That was when I understood that for all their talk about a two-state solution, both sides never inhabited the same universe of discourse about what it actually meant. It is not just that both sides failed to make peace, but that peace never meant the same thing.
...
The time for endless negotiation between the parties is past: it is time to say that all but those settlements right on the 1967 green line must go; that the right of return is incompatible with peace and security in the region and the right must be extinguished with a cash settlement; that the UN, with funding from Europe, will establish a transitional administration to help the Palestinian state back on its feet and then prepare the ground for new elections before exiting; and, most of all, the US must then commit its own troops, and those of willing allies, not to police a ceasefire, but to enforce the solution that provides security for both populations.
Imposing a peace of this amplitude on both parties, and committing the troops to back it up, would be the most dramatic exercise of presidential leadership since the Cuban missile crisis. Nothing less dramatic than this will prevent the Middle East from descending into an inferno.
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada advocates invading and occupying Israel, a position he has not renounced, and nobody thinks this is noteworthy? And brilliant: the percentage of successful invasions of nuclear armed countries appears to be holding steady at zero percent, so I'm not sure he's thought his genius plan all the way through.
Anyhew, I just wanted to throw that out there.
Speaking of Carolyn Parrish, you guys do know, don't you, that she's totally in the pocket of her Muslim constituents, and about 6-7 years ago, (or so), she took an all expenses paid trip to the M.E. courtesy of 'Palestine House'?

The question for me is:
When will people be more concerned about the real agenda and the real screw-ups of the Liberal party, instead of the imaginary agenda and the screw-ups the Conservatives might make?
glasnost:
No, I learned that by actually thinking about the situation.
That, and the Parable of the Good Samaritan kinda opened my eyes. Ask yourself, why would a Samaritan be considered bad. Only in a tribal context is that possible.
It's also no secret that treat your brothers as you'd like to be treated in the Muslim faith means only your co-religionists.
inquisitive reader, Ignatieff doesn't say a word about 'invading and occupying Israel'. He's saying that for the two sides, each has a different perspective of a solution, of peace, of the nature of their proposed identity as a nation.
He's saying that the Palestinian desire for 'Right of Return' is unrealistic and instead, payments have to be made for the properties left behind.
He's saying that the Israeli settlements that have moved so far into the Palestinian territories, have to be removed, and the 1967 borders returned.
He's then saying that the Palestinians will need help in setting up a democratic state - just as Iraqis needed that help - and that the UN should assist in a transition government.
I agree with all of this. Where I disagree is that I don't feel that the US should be called on to police the area and maintain peace. Why should Americans always be put in such situations? It should be an international coalition of military.
I support his view; where we differ is in hopes for its fulfillment. In my view, Israel will never give up the West Bank and return to its 1967 borders. And, the sabotaging of the Palestinian hope for a state by Islamic fascists has now become a key problem. Islamic fascism does not want to enable a Palestinian democratic state.
I repeat, Islamic fascism does not want to enable a Palestinian democratic state. Democracy is the antithesis of fascism. So - this further erodes any possibility of a Palestinian state.
I still think that a democratic Palestinian state, closely linked to Israel economically, would reduce the appeal and strength of Islamic fascism in the area - so, I think that Israel ought to assist such an endeavour. But, since I also think that Israel won't release the West Bank - it's a dead-end wish on my part.
Inquisitive Reader, you can hardly expect anyone to be interested in anything said/printed way back in 2002 on someone who is now a Liberal Leader.
That stuff would be buried like puffin poop! However, if true, we should definitely bring it up and get it out there. Maybe we can even plant a few people in the town halls Iggy plans to appear in across the land to question him.
It is going to get bad here in Canada for the Jews. Just watching and reading about the daily protest by the pro-hamas, and how ugly they are turning, is creeping me out. The stage has been set. The economy is not good. Union leaders and other high flanking socialist are demanding that Jews not be allowed to speak at our Universities. Jews are turning against other Jews, siding with the national socialist, in the hope they will be spared their grandparents fate. b'nai brith has put a warning out for Jews here in Canada, and elsewhere to be extra cautious.
Free Speech is going south. The Gestapo lives.

Honey Pot, try not to fret. Canada will continue to flourish as a country with Judeo-Christian principles. Please note the hyphenated designation because it most accurately describes western civilization. I believe that our North American “en-cultured” citizens, still the largest demographic, are beginning to understand the gut-level values that define “culture”, and what that means for each of us.
There will be no stoning, beheading or crucifixion in Canada. There will be no Sharia in Canada. As well, I believe the Christmas tree is making a comeback.
David Berner, an acquaintance of mine here in Vancouver just posted this.
Why do I think that the college kid he encountered wears Che Guevara t-shirts and puts "Free Tibet" stickers on his vehicles? The fact that this kid so easily blames Israel for everything is absolutely typical of the indoctrinated youth at our institutions of "higher learning". Sigh.
On a related theme,sentening circles for our natives opens the door for sharia law!Think about it.

If anyone thinks that Iggy is a main-line neo-con, then I would have to ask, why didn't the U.S. government do something like that between 2001 and 2008?
I think he has his own version of neo-conservatism, which is what we call Uninformed Liberalism or, perhaps to give it a shorter title, bullsh"t.
Check out this web page for Parish , not only did she bash the Americans after 9/11 and helped kill CAW jobs at her Oakville Plant that killed the WindStar and may still axe more jobs by Obama if FORD wants part of the $14 Billion bail-out....but she slaps the CAW in the face by Endorsing a German Auto maker by puting her picture on the Mercedes Smart car while she also shows the Muslims and Arabs to Buy-German .

I wish I had the time to tell you about the Mississauga Muslimfest that was sponsored by a know Whahhabi org in Canada that crusaded for Shariah law on our soil , Parrish is in a Photo
from by a Arab media site in canada and she promotes Islam and labels canadians as intolerant
if they don't open their minds to learn about islam .
CAIR canada and CAIR USA have ties to terrorism funding via the bogus islamic charity the Holy Land Fund which was the same Charity that Maher Arar said he was to work for until the RCMP smeared his name , check out the anti-CAIR website to see how Sheem Khan tried to Sue 2 canadians and shut down a Radio staion for exposing CAIR's ties to hamas and terrorism.
http://www.anti-cair-net.org/
Just scroll down to the image of Nihad Awad at a pro-hamas rally with a Hezballah flag in the picture , Mr.Awad from CAIR is on a CTV interview from 2007 and he claims they have supported Mr.Arar all along since about 2002 and that CAIR is happy he got the $10 Million for the Islamophobia.
Further down is the lawsuit by Sheema Khan that she dropped just before a Judge was to see exactly where CAIRs donations went to and expose the ties to the USA CAIR that's funding Jihad and terrorism.
Sheema Khan was a witness at the Arar Inquiry to give her evidence of overt racism and Anti-Arab treatment , but her survey was skewed beyond belief with just 600 Muslims that were asked to file a complaint on the CAIR website anonymously if they liked to no reveal themselves.
Almost 50% of the respondents were foreign students in our schools , another batch of them weren't Citizens and had already assume all Police and Governments are corrupt and oppressive.
The 2006 Muslimfest held a fund-raiser for Lebanons Hezballah to resist the Israeli aggression , and a website outside of canada promoted the Muslimfest as having a Youth workshop to teach Jihad in canada to work towards an Islamic State at any cost .
Dan McTeague was on a video from a Mosque where he denounces Jesus as the messiah and exalts Muhammad and Allah merely to appease the Muslims , the event was a Anti-racism meeting after the Mosque in Pickering was alleged to have been damaged by drunken christians that fire bombed the womens entrance .
BTW
As usual , not one person has been linked to the Mosque attack which happened back in 2004 just as all the latest Mosque attacks have no witnesses or evidence while the Media labels it "Islamophobia".
"On a related theme,sentencing circles for our natives opens the door for sharia law!Think about it."---- Also,the arest of the two heads of Bountiful will bring the question of polygamy out of the dark closet. This may end up in the lap of the Supremes,and that may open the door to sharia a little wider.
"This makes them a significant voting bloc, especially and importantly, since our disastrous multicultural policy insists on immigrants retaining their old beliefs and behaviour, rejects integration and collaboration with others, and sets these isolate groups up to be dependent on government funding to remain 'culturally pure'. The Muslim population is a vital key to the Liberal goal of returning to power."
I'd agree on the Liberal power motive.
However, multicultural policy allows Muslim segregation and their non-integration, but it doesn't create it.
This is what they have done throughout history. This goes to the core of their ideology - dar al Islam and dar al Harb, supremacism, dhimmitude, hate, racism and so on.
The Philippines, Thailand, the Ughar region of China, Dearborn Michigan, and the new, exclusively Muslim town north of Toronto, stand as modern testament to historical patterns.
They take over areas of a host country and then at first passively - moving to more violent methods as their numbers increase - they agitate for shariah, self government and separation. And then they war at their stolen borders for more.
Saw a great 30-minute interview on the BBC program HARDtalk. A Hamas spokesman was interviewed and was asked about the France-Egypt ceasefire proposal and if his gov't would accept international monitors on Gaza's border with Egypt as part of that deal.
He was unequivocal. NO!!!
He added that peace would come when the "occupation" ends. Give him credit, though. He did not say Jews should be killed. Maybe he meant he meant they could board 1,000 cruiseliners sent by the international community and set sail for destinations unknown. See? Hamas is compromising already.
As for today's Hezboolah missile attacks in the north.... I wonder when the Jihadist protesters and their accomplices on the left are going to schedule a demonstration outside the Lebonese embassy in Ottawa, demanding Hezboolah stop the provocations.
So far, the sound of crickets from their ranks.
glanost, I worry. I truly did not believe the hatred of Jews was so pronounced here in Canada, amongst the left. Every pro-hamas protest here in Canada is calling for the blood of Jews. The union workers are losing their high paying jobs, and they will be looking around for someone to blame. It will be easy for the union leaders like Syd Ryan and his ilk, to have them turn that blame towards the Jews. You have the left going around telling people the Jews control the media and the money in the world. They are not even trying to hide their hatred for Jews. No one of sound mind would believe that could happen in Germany, as it was happening. It can happen again.
Honey Pot, I wouldn't presume to say that it can't happen again, that presumption was the misunderstanding that allowed it to happen previously. I'm saying it won't happen. It won't be allowed to happen. We will not allow it to happen.
It happened before because rational thought was supplanted by political zeal supported by an efficient propaganda organ. Those days are over.
Today the propaganda element is greatly diminished by an ubiquitous and efficient communication medium. Ultimately, everyone will be exposed for what they are: Jews, Muslims, Christians and severely ordinary people. The last of which is most important because it’s the severely ordinary people who own the world.
I like to take credit (rightly or not) for ending Parrish's prominence. After the story of the GWB doll stomping appeared on the CBC website, I e-mailed the link to Drudge, which then prominently displayed the story, which resulted in this becoming a large international embarrassment, which led to her expulsion from caucus. Yay me.
No No No Nazis are people who go around drawing swastikas on washroom walls.
Great article by Lorrie Goldstein in today's Toronto Sun entitled "Peace a Pipe Dream": http://www.torontosun.com/comment/columnists/lorrie_goldstein/2009/01/08/7953626-sun.html
Hamas has no and never had any intentions towards a peaceful settlement but requires the eradification of every non-Muslim in Israel. This is a group you cannot make peace with.
Ezra raises an interesting question about whether the weakness of the Liberal Party is allowing the nutjobs to get a foothold. Let's not forget the effort required to get the nutjobs that joined Reform, the Alliance and the CPC under control. Not that I'm harboring any sympathy for the Libs, I'm just saying that perhaps the crowing fron the conservative side should be ratched down a notch ot two.
Perhaps the most revealing video on Hamas and the Palistinians.
If anybody, including ET, watches this video and still stands up for this filth then they have the moral turpitude of a snake.
