Ms. Thompson's actions are another example of "damned if ya do, damned if ya don't"

Shut out the reporters, and the headline reads "Conservatives sit at Republican pollsters feet behind closed doors"

And where the HELL does the liberal commenters on the linked blog get off saying the all Conservatives and Conservative supporters are un Canadian, and even closet Americans? Thats goddamned bigoted, that is. I love my country passionately, I respect Canada deeply, and not a day goes by that I don't thank GOD that I'm a Canadian! But because I vote Conservative, some goof gets to call my patriotism into question?

Well, I suppose I'll do the Canadian thing, put a grin on my face, lean in close, and say "Free country, bud. If you don't like where I vote, too, damn, bad!"

Has a Democratic political consultant EVER given a presentation/seminar/peptalk to Liberal Party members and supporters? Did the media ambush said meeting?

This is part of the ongoing MSM War on Harper and the Conservatives. (Like the ongoing MSM War on Bush and the Republicans.)

Like their lefty brethren in the US, the Canadian MSM hate conservatives and conservatism. Combine that with the Western World Leftist's provincial, arrogant and wholly unwarranted assumption of intellectual and moral superiority, and damn near anything is justified, for the public good.

A lefty journalist breaking the long-standing code of etiquette between Conservative politicians, party members and the media to get a Conservative-bashing story is emblematic of this.

In the name of "we sophisticated, bright "progressives" know what's best", distortions, lies, cheating become "nuanced actions", done for the public good. We pin-headed knuckle-dragging conservatives just don't understand that and never will.

As many of you who have checked them out know, that's the essense of the mindset you'll see at most of the lefty blogs. And we conservatives are the intolerant, ignorant bigots???

She was entirely within her rights to hang outside the open door, listen to what was going on, interview participants, and report on what she learned.

What is a reporter to do if not that?

Remember, I mention that they were heavy doors that closed on their own... unless somebody was holding them open.

Most leftists journalists, which is the vast majority, have taken their place right down there with lawyers,in the estimation of the public ...

Only two up from the leftist polticians they work so hard to keep in power.

Lately they all seem to be engaged in a circle jerk, trying to bring harm and disrepute to the Conservative party of Canada. That is an obvious pursuit and it is plain for anyone looking, to see.

None of them are wearing any clothes. Just like the King in the Hans Christian Anderson story.

They have been losing audience to the net and to Fox news. In Canada our own Adler has shaken a few monkies out of their trees. It's all good news for reality. Now, at least some things have a chance to be changed for the better.

Harper's decision to 'not feed the Trolls' was brilliant and that's where the process of real progress can begin. The Stifling effects of media cause us to be locked in a time warp where it can be Trudeaupia forever.

I'm feeling better about things lately.

Attention: E. Thompson... read all-about-it... a bucket?

Remember these moonbats are Democrats; not Republicans. ...

Close encounters of the deranged kind

Excerpt:

But the message in this case truly is the medium. The e-mails pulse in my queue, emanating raw hatred. This spells trouble -- not for Bush or, in 2008, the next GOP presidential candidate, but for Democrats. The anger festering on the Democratic left will be taken out on the Democratic middle. (Watch out Hillary!) I have seen this anger before -- back in the Vietnam War era. That's when the anti-war wing of the Democratic Party helped elect Richard Nixon. In this way, they managed to prolong the very war they so hated.

The hatred is back. I know it's only words now appearing on my computer screen, but the words are so angry, so roiled with rage, that they are the functional equivalent of rocks once so furiously hurled during anti-war demonstrations. They hurt in a different way.

I can appreciate some of it. Institution after institution failed America -- the presidency, Congress and the press. They all endorsed a war to rid Iraq of what it did not have. Now, though, that gullibility is being matched by war critics who are so hyped on their own sanctimony that they will obliterate distinctions, punishing their friends for apostasy and, by so doing, aiding their enemies. If that's going to be the case, then Iraq is a war its critics will lose twice -- once because they couldn't stop it, and once more at the polls.

Well at least we don't get to hear her complain about access anymore.
She's proved she can do her job from anywhere, even under adverse conditions.

Next time she asks any con a question, I hope they preface their answer with "Well howdy Elizabeth, so nice to see you in the room..."

"The door was open but I never put my foot over the line.
So I can say whatever I want"

"Journalistic integrity."
That's hilarious
40 years of Liberal theft and malfiance and Liz could'nt get a sniff.
See ya Liz.

The liberals brought in the man who managed Kerry's losing campaign to give tips on running their upcoming leadership campaign. Can't remember his name. Waiting for Carville to be called in to help.

Old line journalism and its media are dying....we read the death throws daily. ;-)

"40 years of Liberal theft and malfiance ( malfeasance) and Liz could'nt get a sniff".
My thoughts exactly "richfisher" . . . Once again it bears repeating, MSM have been the enablers of Liberal corruption for the past decade or more.
No Elizabeth Thompson's investigative ability on that file.
Pity.

"We pin-headed knuckle-dragging conservatives just don't understand that and never will."

AA dictates that Step 1 on the road to recovery is admitting that you are sick.

Well done, and good luck with your therapy.

Apropos of this, there's a fascinating article today at the Cdn Natl Post, by Michael Coren, "Blacklisted at the CBC".

The article is at http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/issuesideas/story.html?id=2ffcf492-a4d0-42d6-a03d-a2ddfdaf998c

The bottom line is that while Mr. Coren considers himself a "progressive", his views against gay "marriage" and abortion make him one of the enemy.

To be a member in good standing of the left, one must be totally in agreement with leftist theology. Any deviations from that make one a knuckle-dragging neo-con.

Don't you just love the hypocrisy of the left? They tout their love of "diversity" endlessly, but they really mean only superficial diversity: age, gender, color. REAL DIVERSITY -intellectual diversity, different thoughts- are forbidden.

That's a pretty good working definition of fascism.

The MSM jihad against a future Harper majority continues.

The real Conservative Party will reveal itself only if it eventually gains a majority government, Prof. Levy said. "I really wonder how much longer the party can keep itself muzzled. When they have a majority -- which is a definite possibility given their current strategies -- it will be interesting to see how the cracks widen."

First try got caught by the filter. I'll post without a link.

What really galls me is that it appears this reporter had zero interest in accurately reporting a story.I would guess her sole mission was to catch a Conservative in a juicy soundbite,then manufacture a story around it(SOP).

I don't care what partisan stripe you are,you'd have to be freaking blind to not see what the MSM is doing in this country.

Good Lord (if I can use that phrase), the "secret" agenda rises again. This magical piece of fiction is harder to get rid of than Kate's Caragana bush.

Integrity is obviously not in a journalist's vocabulary.

Creationist journalism, I like that ,more proof that there’s un-intelligent design in the Darwinian garden of journalism.

CTV's RT: Bows to authority. Read and wonder at her shallow/callowness.

Wowser, that scary Prime Minister is a wily, foxy, Harper. Where/how did he learn so much in 3 months?

"CTV's Rosemary Thompson in Ottawa said what the ruling means at the end of the day is that "the prime minister wins."
...
"...so he's saying Stephen Harper wins, and their decision to lower the flag on Nov. 11 to recognize the collective sacrifices that military personnel have made in many different conflicts and wars will remain."

Well that does it....I'm buying a liberal membership and voting for Bob Rae....wanna join me? ;-)

Dont give the liberanos any money.
