The Tolerant Left

Screw the Kingston Library. I'd print copies of that painting of Jack! and hang them all over Toronot-Danforth.

And unlike Manet, she did a poor job in body proportions.

Just weird.

Someone needs a psychiatric evaluation.

The 'artist' could do a whole gallery of all our leaders in the buff...

Lets start with the head of state "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II", followed by our Govenor General His Excellency David Johnston, and then a round up of all the federal and provincial political leaders.

I mean seriously who wouldn't want to see Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Charest, Ms. Christy Clark, Ms Redford, Mr.Wall and turn them all into a veritable "Rogues Gallery" all doffing their BVDs and Fruit of the Loom's.

After all, we are all going to shut down resource extraction so we will have to use beaver pelts to cover all those unmentionables whilst wandering around our new cave dwellings.

Obviously, this person desperately wants to be taken 'seriously'...Doctor, Doctor someones lost their medication...!

Well Kate - the ball's are in your court. I can't paint. Your portrait of Jack could be a classic.

Kate, I would buy a print or two or three of the Jackal in the brothel. Worth the laughs and tirades.

An artist should do portraits of Jack-in-the-parlour,Chretien sunning nude with the Desmarais', and Bob Rae in the hot tub with Mo Strong, just for historical accuracy.

No chance of that Jack off-colour montage, but now if somebody paints PMSH cruising the stroll, then that will lead to a public hanging. Context is everything in moral relativism.

This so-called art example is just typical of the mentality of the left.

I agree, Kate should do a painting of Jack in his favourite haunt.

"I mean seriously who wouldn't want to see Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Charest, Ms. Christy Clark, Ms Redford, Mr.Wall and turn them all into a veritable "Rogues Gallery" all doffing their BVDs and Fruit of the Loom's."

Well,Hans, I confess that third choice of yours has me kind of intrigued.

Yeah, Kate, what's stopping you?

The featured comment by patty 203 says it all.

Just as Kate's heading about 'not showing up to riot' speaks volumes.

Both are failed conservative policies in that the conservative movement is plainly reactionary to the left's actionary.
Perhaps it's in the DNA...who knows, but unless some organization is put in place and soon, we WILL lose the beach head we have worked so hard to gain.

Progressives are corrupt dreamers and as such have time on their side; so waiting out the Harper mandate whilst creating measured disruption is just another ploy out of the communist handbook.

Liken it if you will to sitting in on a game with a bunch of card mechanics...if you play by the accepted rules and etiquette of the game, you will surly lose your shirt and they will mock you for the rube you are.

However, one-up them with some of their own ruse and the game is on a more level playing field.

The game is tilted in their favour of course since the MSM plays referee & announcer...all the more reason to hit 'em harder.

"Yeah, Kate, what's stopping you?"

My guess? Decency.

My guess? Decency.

Or nausea.

The full monty is hanging at Margaret Sutherland
This rudimentary homage to Edouard Manet must have the old master spinning in his grave.

I was thinking that this lead in was... a bit over the top for the traditional horse beating. Then I clicked on the link... Geezuz!

Well, the first thing is the obvious trend toward nudity in education. And Kate's suggested work would clearly offer more for the curious child who would immediately ask, why is there a lady behind a screen, and, what does that, mean? Followed by why are the women yellow?

But seriously, instead of dwelling on the deviant there should be an effort to have this painting replaced with a more fitting portrait of the Prime Minister. After all, that is what they wanted,isn't it.

@ dmorris: Hah, hah...!

As is often noted, and probably explains this idiotic send up of Manet's prostitute:

"Ambition is most often a very vicious mistress."

Further, this representation of Stephen Harper is akin to this representation of Margaret Sutherland.

the poll that accompanied the article should have had a "or do you think this is just stupid" as a option

If they wanted a portrait of Harper they should've bought one of mine!

Sorry, ∞ ≠ ø at May 18, 2012 1:07 PM, but I believe you've got the wrong Maggie.

This is the real one, in a self-portrait:

Lets each throw in ten bucks and buy that painting. Then we can take it outside and burn it. I'll bring some gas and a match.

"I mean seriously who wouldn't want to see Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Charest, Ms. Christy Clark, Ms Redford, Mr.Wall and turn them all into a veritable "Rogues Gallery" all doffing their BVDs and Fruit of the Loom's."

IIRC about ten years ago a photograph of a woman mayor of a small interior BC town appeared on the internet. The lady was in the buff (sort of) sitting in the mayor's chair wearing only the chain of office around her neck while directly facing the camera. I recall the animal in the photograph was a Canadian beaver.

Hans, does this include Libby Davies as well? If so
you can include me out.

I don't think this is a big deal, truth be told. It isn't particularly classy, (or a good painting) but what do we expect of the left in this country?

But, I'd like to know if the artist got any grant money to paint this.

Finally, the PM/party should purchase this painting. They should leave it up for however long the library wishes, and then the PM should either give the painting to his wife as an anniversary present (which would be funny). Even better, the PM should stack whatever committee decides what and where art is displayed on the hill with partisans, and have it displayed in the office of the leader of the opposition. That'd be great.

But I thought the NDP liked art?

" Jack with two young Asian girls "

I would have a problem with that. If you are going to do a painting of Jack's velvet touch moment,accuracy is essential.

It would be Jack and one tall Asian person with big hands,wearing a light scarf around the area of the neck where an Adam's apple is found in most males.

The painting (tactfully airbrushed) can be seen here;

Yeah, Kate, what's stopping you?" asked Phil, his face flushed with passion as he imagined hanging a painting of a nude jack layton over his bed.

The Liberal left are perverted masochists, of course they dig seeing big bad daddy naked smirking at them. Its bizarre homoerotic porn of the Liberal mentally ill, what more could you expect other than a few swastikas, whips and hanging devices thrown in?

How about a Historical/Religous work?

"Saint Jack Resurrecting the Nazi Party", maybe.

@ "Gaylord":

Well Libby Davies might figure in a send up of Peter Paul Rubens who had a thing for 'bigger ladies'.

http://www.rembrandtgallery.org/upload1/file-admin/images/new4/Peter%20Paul%20Rubens-576556.jpg

Forgive me in engaging in saytrs er...satire.

http://www.kingsgalleries.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/two-satyrs-peter-paul-rubens.jpg

However, I did specifically mention that the gallery should consist of 'federal and provincial leaders'.

Thus Libby Davies would be considered 'too cheeky by half'.

In which case the NDP would get a new moniker "Naked Derriere Party" in the event that you 'hang out' in places like Wreck Beach.

Then again Jacques may have liked that...

It's Liberal all the time Kingston, so it's what you would expect.
Now, if she had done a painting of Kingston-native former Speaker of the House Peter Milliken with his pal/s, even I might have visited the library.

A true Classic!

@ Gabby in QC

Ha! Is quadrant 4 a hideous nude self portrait?
You win!

I thought I had a gem with a Margaret Sutherland singing "Crazy".

I'm off to bleach my eyes now...

Jack Layton did it for real is the irony here. The left being cruel children , this is standard fair for them.
No one would look at a nude of lets say a Margret Atwood.No one would care. Nor would it get any play.

"in a tug and pull room"

I believe the correct term is rub and tug

"I wonder if I commisioned Ms. Sutherland..."

It'd be worth an email to ask. ~:)

If you desire to grow your familiarity simply keep
visiting this website and be updated with the most up-to-date information posted here.

My email to Ms. Sutherland:

"Dear Margaret Sutherland,

I appreciate your sense of humour and I believe that this is satiric fair comment. I would like to see you turn your considerable talent to equal time...perhaps Jack Layton at 787 Dundas St. W. receiving a "rub & tug" at the hands of two young asian women while Olivia Chow peers through sheer curtains...

Certainly, the closer satire comes to the truth, the more socially relevant it becomes; although, I'm sure they would still have a problem with hanging such a painting in a Kingston Library.

Sincerely,

Steve E."

Hey Kate,

Not showing up to paint a riot of colour could be a failed conservative artist policy. Just sayin'. ;-)

My guess? Decency.

Then why bring it up?

I was wondering if Don Martin was drunk again on his little political show tonite..when a host makes comments,like 'hung' etc when referring to a despicable pic of a sitting PM,shows you the low-rent type of 'talent' ctv has.

Well...we could show up naked at the next Conservative rally in show of support...

So, how much for a Handjob Jack painting? I can think of some interesting occasions to hang it for when my wife's leftie friends come over.

This isn't art, it's political propaganda. It was specifically designed to foment hatred against a political figure with whom the artist disagrees.

And anyone who thinks it's OK to hang this thing in a room that's used by children should be taken out and shot.

The left exposed:
No talent.
No taste.
No intelligence.

About all I noticed was the Tim Hortons coffee cup. Is the Canadian icon company on board with using their brand in association with this painting? If they are then I have bought my LAST double-double from them...and may I suggest to fellow Kate's rodents to follow suit.

Kate, how much of a commission would you need to paint a portrait of rub and tug Taliban Jack? I'm good for $50 towards this project.

I was thinking of using the skin covered skeleton image of Taliban Jack but obviously which version to use would be an artistic decision.

dmorris @ 12:24 PM: Touche! Exactement! Chretien paired with Desmarais, Rae with Strong, and how about Trudeau with Pitfield?
