Shut up, Iggy! Shut up!

Was he channeling Bela Lugosi at the beginning?

I mean I know the man looks like Dracula, but wow!

Count Iggy is gettin ornery!

The vacuous channeling of a Baptist preacher, from an Elitist aristocrat semi-Canadian socialist Liberal. It doesn't get any worse than that! Someone knows he's headed back to Harvard. CPC majority here we come.

He looks about as excited as someone having a bowel movement.

Then again, judging by those in the background, perhaps he was playing to his audience...

His audience looked a little confused at so much intensity coming from that concave a chest.

Wow, he has a powerful way about him.

Did you see all those people rise up?

Harvard must be proud. Don't worry, Mikey boy, you'll be back there for fall semester. Maybe Bozo will give you a job in his cabinbet and then you can return to the faculty lounge together in November of 2012.

Do we mean this Iffy? Now beware the source as it is a posting on the G&M!

Ignatieff comments on his book, Blood and Belonging.

"Somewhere inside I'm also what Ukrainians would call a great Russian and there is just a trace of old Russian disdain for these little Russians. " - Michael Ignatieff

Rise up? As opposed to rise down?

Is this supposed to be part of a Viagra commercial?

It's OK. The Count is practising for his Viagra Commercial after the election err erection.

When rather cold, unemotional types simulate emotion the results are apt to be either funny or embarrassing.
PMSH gets it right - his expressions of enthusiasm don't traduce what he really is - a man who is ruled by his
head.

This is the Count's speech to Mr. Happy before he has sex....Rise Up, Rise Up....

He's no Steve Balmer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsboPUjrGc

Someone call the cops there is a foreigner trying incite an uprising on our streets in Canada.

Such passion! Such patriotism! Such urgency! I expect there will be mobs roaming the streets with axes and torches any moment now. By the look of his enthusiastic crowd, some will be using walkers and wheel chairs, but what the hell... A mob is a mob.

Now that was an arousing speech!

"Someone call the cops there is a foreigner trying incite an uprising on our streets in Canada."

Yes,and he has been seen awkwardly holding an axe.

On the Macleans.ca site there is a very favourable story about the Rise Up event. The comments are nowhere near as kind.

http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/04/16/the-commons-rise-up/

Personally I thought it took a long time for the crowd to get whipped up, especially as he had been talking for over an hour.

Speech writer not paid by the word, is my guess.

I like it Elmer Fudd style... "wise up, wise up, wise up, Canada yew wascawey wabbit yew, this goes bewond the wibbewel pawty, wise up."

Aww the best Wed Jeff

They HAD to stand. Sitting still for hour , being droned on by a Castro wannabe - bum num, num bum.

What makes Canada great is its higher tax rates.

His characterization of "our country" makes me want to gag. Yes, aristocrat, it's been "our" country these last 28 years while you were out, giving it nary a thought. You're johnny-come-lately, m. effeminate dandy.

And there's nothing more laughable than watching someone with no charisma trying to fake like they do.

Embarrassing.

What is coming across there is frustration. He cannot undersatnd why all of these peasants don't see things the way he does.

They have thrown almost everything and the polls havent really moved....well actually not true, they have moved, NDP steps are heard over Iggy's shoulder.

Angry never wins elections, mind you they never wanted to win they just are trying to hold it to a tie. So we will see what happens. I have heard numerous people saying they are tired of this and they will vote con just to end the silly cycle.

3 seats in Newf (no cange in rest of atlantic canada)
2 new ones in quebec (rural)
6 in Ontario
3 at least, Manitobia and West.

Its going to be tight to stop us going into another cycle of games.

Liberals may need to start signalling that they will form a coalition and that there will be 3 years of stable government. Thats the burn the furniture scenario for them. They may even need to promise Prime Minister Layton....thats the coalitions only hope, and the Cons biggest threat and opportunity at the same time.

You know,maybe we are being too hard on this fellow,and it is time to take the high road

I,for one,will try to make his life easier,so I sent this link to - Ignatieff.M@parl.gc.ca ,- http://www.boston-real-estate.com/

. If we all take a little time to help,we can make Canada a better place,and give his wife something to do while she's waiting for Mike to rise up.

Giv'er Iggs! From the Justin Trudeau school of emoting - just brudal dude! I bet it would have worked if he wore a cape maybe.

He doesn't even see things the way he says he does.

Why do I feel all hopeychangey after watching that?

The Libranos are Back!

Liberals bring big guns to lend firepower to campaign
ctv.ca

**But look at the article You would think that CTV would know that a high profile former BC NDP'r is a Liberal MP for Vancouver South & Only Defeated the Conservative Canidate after a recount by only 20votes in 2008?
Or is this mistake on purpose?
Or did Ujjal Dosanjh cross the floor & has not told them yet?

"The Liberals hope to steal seats from the Conservatives in both the Edmonton Centre riding formerly held by Liberal MP Anne McLellan, and in Vancouver South, where the Liberal candidate lost by just 20 votes to Conservative MP Ujjal Dosanjh in 2008."

Is this guy a snake charmer? Is his audience deaf? Is the LP-of-Canada record stuck? Brain-soiling via-agra-vated stuttered, studdered assault?

Looks/sounds like UNcharm to me.
.

Was that an attempt at the second coming of Jesus?

Sorry Iggy, Obamba beat you to it, even got the Nobel Peace Prize as proof.

The audience looked confused; it took them awhile probably by queue card to realize they needed to stand up. Very scary........

The Iggster couldn't say "Wise up, Canada!" so he shouted out the next best thing: "Rise up, Canada!"

O.M.G.

This might have worked if his usual modus operandi was that of a street preacher, but given that his usual modus operandi is as dead as a piece of bleached-out driftwood, it's worse than embarrassing.

The Liberal$ are desperate.

Maybe he could get some traction if he went skipping around the neighborhood, proclaiming what a wonderful day it is. Hopping over trashcans and mailbox's and such. Yelling rise up in a half hearted manor doesn't work.

Gotta laugh at Iggy's push lately to paint Harper as a "stasi", who is going to take Canadians freedoms & Liberties.

Hey Iggy, who is enforcing the farcical gun registry and who is trying to abolish it?

There in a nutshell is the hallmark of tyranny you stupid putz.

Judging by the crowd behind Iggy it will take a truck load of Viagra to do the job.

Rise up and do what? Pad Iffy's resume with prime ministership.

Political clowns are not funny anymore. They are dangerous.

That's just sad. Really sad. I bet he can't wait for this to all be over.

Awkweeeerd :-I

Nice Benny Hinn impression.

I can't wait for the election so we won't have to see this guy anymore.

Knight 99; What I find much more troubling is Ignatieff's BS line that PMSH is against democracy.

Ignatieff and his stooges have taken away the possibility of another minority Conservative gov't. We can have a Conservative majority,a Liberal minority,or a Liberal led coalition gov't.

Ignatieff is doing an end run around democracy and is willing to sacrifice the votes of English Canada for his own gain.

I expect Igantieff and Liberals would like AG to dust off and release some of her other reports while she is at it.

Liberals misinformed Parliament about millions spent on gun registry: AG
Last Updated: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 | 4:30 PM ET
2006 Report of the Auditor General of Canada

The former Liberal government misinformed Parliament about millions of dollars in expenses incurred by the gun registry, Auditor General Sheila Fraser said.
The largest portion of her latest report to Ottawa focused on how the government twice failed to properly record tens of millions of dollars worth of overspending at the Canada Firearms Centre.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2006/05/16/gun-registry.html

AG Fraser lambastes Liberals for blowing budget by a billion dollars on registry‏

AG Fraser lambastes Liberals for blowing budget by a billion dollars on registry. When Canada's auditor general tabled her December 2002 report, she set her sights on Ottawa's controversial gun registry program.
Sheila Fraser blasted the federal government, run by the Liberals at the time, for exceeding its estimated budget, saying that by the time the smoke cleared and all gun owners and their guns were registered, the program would have cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. Opposition critics were quick to point out that figure is 500 times more than the original $2-million estimate. A look at internal audits conducted by the Canadian Firearms Program suggests the cost of the program has been an issue from the beginning.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2009/10/06/f-gun-registry.html

Now is the time when we juxtapose that clip with this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAcqFcRcHmM

Is this an election for Schmucks?

and back on the bus,his staff are telling him (iggy you nailed it tonight)high fives and lots of backslapping.lmao

Half the time he can't even look people in the eye. How the hell can you inspire to "rise up" when you're looking down at the floor all the time.

Found this quote over at WUWT;

"Ambition forced many men to become liars, to hide one thing in their heart and have something else ready on their tongue"
Sallust [86- 35 BC]

Ooh, fake passion - well, I'm sold. Where's my special ballot?

I felt embarrassed for him actually. He's circling the drain.

pkuster nails it.

Iggy looks like he is exhorting an audience of earthworms.

That was almost Obummeresque without the halo.

Parachute Club should sue his ass off for using their song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNIdqu7crW8

Rise up! Canada Rise up! and vote conservative....please!

Perhaps those seated behind him were somewhat confused or brain-dead. They may be confused by a faux leader who wants the nation to rise up and vote for a Party that Harper has more competently replicated in terms of sustaining sacred Liberal programs, deficit spending and general centre-left policy, resulting in voting for a poor imitation of Jack Layton. Otherwise they are brain-dead because they assume that this pseudo-intellectual poseur is anything different than Jack Layton. In consuming the Liberal Party, Harper has adopted far too much of its baggage.

"He doesn't even see things the way he says he does."

At least he still has each other.

I guess like attracts like. An old white guy preaching to a bunch of old white guys.

Waitin for the media comments about how white and old the audience is......if it was a conservative that would absolutely be the comment.

I am assuming this was an announcement at a seniors home? Did anyone throw away their walker after "the healer" came through?

Right on, Kate! This one is also very cute, but only if you acknowledge the CBC's institutionalized biases:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI8UtJGIZhc

"four minutes to Wapner, four minutes to Wapner"

As he stares at the floor.
It's like an inspirational speech given by Rainman.

Majority and we can investigate who has the stolen money from the last time these Adscaming #$%&ers rose up.

I think the "collective wisdom", if there is such a thing in Canada, has realised that there is only so much a government can do to make life better. We're seeing that in Obama's US... borrowing trillions with nothing to show for it. The fact is that we've got life pretty good here, and no "big idea" is going to catch on because we're smarter than that. Whatever gimmick the Liberals come up with is going to have an unwritten price tag attached, and the modern voter knows that.

Canadians don't need to "rise up". Syrians do. Zimbabweans do. Tibetans do.

I think I figured this election out... it's a war of attrition between parties with no ideas. Voters have already made up their minds, and we're likely to get another minority PC gov't.

This is good news, because all Harper has to do is say NO to any additional spending. Until he says yes, new cheques don't go out. I'm fine with that.

Was he hanging out at a old folks home? Good gawd not partisan politics, has he seen slime stream media this past week they are so far up his arse it's sickening.

I've put more GENUINE passion into farting after a Mexican feast than Iggy put into that. In any field of endeavour you can tell when somebody REALLY WANTS it and when they're just mailing it in.

He needs some lessons from his wife. I'll bet she's been faking it for years.

Canadians have been saying, kind of, "so what?," because we've been too busy drinking our beer and eating our popcorn.

He is completely unsuited to campaigning. He's just so bad at this stuff. Obama is an actor and he likes campaigning a lot more than presidenting, as people often point out. Soon it will all be over and Iggy can go home to the States. I bet he'll be relieved.

I feel for the CPC war room, so much material, so little time.

"The First American Prime Minister, Aroused"

Heh, heh, heh...

Disappointed, eh ladies?

Sorry, but Maggie said that's all an aroused Liberal can offer...rolled up shirt-sleeves.

wallyj >

"Ignatieff is doing an end run around democracy..."

The Libs are the epitome of Orwellian truth-speak, it begins with their moniker "Liberal".

Every time I hear Iggys voice I need to make an end run.

if that's the reaction iggy got from the party faithful....

if that's the reaction iggy got from the party faithful....

Awww ... he missed the protests in the '60s! Rise up???? For what? A stable government and a viable economy. Yeah, well, sit in your MP chair and vote for the fl**g BUDGET and shut up! And if you, the communists and separatists want to take over our country, you will REALLY learn about rising up!

He's a fart in a windstorm trying to channel Elmer Gantry.

Just wait until he gets the Adscam boys, Jean and Paul on the trail, they'll have enough wind to blow themselves right over the cliff.

Iggy gone
INSANE,CRAZY,MAD!!? what ever.
WAKE UP CANADA! VOTE HARPER,

Good comment from Twitter:
Emmett Macfarlane:
Ignatieff's "Rise Up" speech makes me think: if librarians formed a religion, they just found their Jimmy Swaggart. #elxn41 #cdnpoli

I think he's talking to his penis.

Speaking of arousal, I think Aaron Wherry just felt a thrill..
http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/04/16/the-commons-rise-up/

Bigger and bigger....thicker and thicker....

(with apologies to Monty Python...)...

Ignatieff talking about democracy is pure hypocrisy.

Whipping the vote instead of letting MPs vote for their constituents is not democracy.

Vote whipping is dictatorial.

Ignatieff proved that he is a dictator when he whipped MPs to vote the party line.

Joanne(Bly)

Wherry has been fellating the Liberal party for a number of years now. This is neither new nor surprising.

Wherry's commetn is just the sound of him humming then swallowing.

M.Peltier >

"Ignatieff proved that he is a dictator when he whipped MPs to vote the party line."

Well said!

Well...in comes mister dithers and the most corrupt lieberal ever...me thinks the leberals are desperate according to inner polling. Release the inner polling an let Canadians know the truth Iffy.

http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/128665/

Perhaps his choice of song is prophetic:

Cant see nothing in front of me
Cant see nothing comin up behind
Make my way through this darkness
Cant feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone and how far I\'ve climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder half mile outta line

Hey...wasn't there a far left wing 80's band called Parachute Club that did a song called rise up? First he quotes Mao and then Parachute Club...original

Treason of the Intellectual, aka Liberal Count Ignatieff.

The natural end result of socialism: Death.

Liberal Count Ignatieff:

“let some flowers bloom,”.

Mao Tse-Tung:

“Let a hundred flowers bloom,”.

…-

“Mao outmurdered Hitler and Stalin combined”

“The history of dictatorship in the 20th century is, in essence, a history of death — death counted in the millions, death imposed on masses of people by implacable, pitiless governments.

Every age has its despots, but 20th-century dictators set new standards of killing. Earlier tyrants may in their hearts have been even more murderous, but they lacked the technology that Stalin, Hitler and Mao took for granted. Given this rich opportunity, those three leaders turned their age into what may someday be called (providing human life takes a turn for the better) the Century of Official Death.”

http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2011/04/16/robert-fulford-mao-outmurdered-hitler-and-stalin-combined/

Ignatief is right. but much too late. Canadians are "rising up", but from their Trudeaupian slumber. They have been "rising up" since the formation of the Reform Party. Steadily and with each election, Canadians are "rising up" in greater numbers to take back their country from the Utopian crooks of the Liberal Party.

Just when you thought this guy couldn't get anymore ridiculous. If he gets to represent Canada on the political stage I will rise up and I'll drink the friggin kool-aid.

Folks behind him were a bit confused...

'what does he mean'?

'Um...I dunno...'

'Oh...he wants us to stand up!...'

'Alrighty then...'

Speaking of Iggy and arousals:

CC has a good vid up:

http://canadaconservative.blogspot.com/

Iggy's sickly fractured smile never fails to remind me that due to his having treaded where angels and wise men wouldn't go, he now finds himself having to swallow all that imperious shite he has been so liberally tossing around of late.

As few are buying him, and fewer still his fractured act...he now has the very large gorilla-in-the-room problem of having to confront his failed dream and assuage his torn ego.

Sorry Iggy...didn't you know those Liberal bagmen were using you and don't you now look the perfect FOOL!

Perhaps he could adopt the old Parachute Club song. They probably wouldn't be offended since he's not a Conservative, but he probably wasn't in Canada when it was a hit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ25vb2cXKY

There is certain religiosity about his cry.

Wrong crowd, Ignatieff looks like fish out of the water, can’t seem to assume position of a plebeian, as much as he tries.
The guy 'been in the academe for such a long time that he forgot there is a real life going on outside of school buildings.

Will be interesting to see how many will vote for him.

He can't go back to Haavad yet, he is not eligible for the fat pension, has to hang around Canada for something like 2 more years, then it will be good bye.

Maybe the Count is going after the sympathetic pity vote. In all seriousness, I could see some people voting for Iggy from a misguided sense of underdog-favouring fair play if this keeps up.

The poor Harvard Kennedy School has a long list of suspected Russian Spies..One graduates in 2000 and Prof Michael replaces him… What a coincidence that he suddenly left Harvard… Canadian born, Say What...

http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2010/6/28/heathfield-foley-foreign-allegedly

Cap'n Oblivious & Tirador:

Yep, Parachute Club was the first thing I thought of as well. And, since the RIAA prevented the Tories from using some music earlier in the campaign, perhaps we should be whispering in their ears as well.

Two points:

1. let's remember this is not his first dean moment:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/would-tories-use-an-ignatieff-clip-out-of-context-yes-yes-yes/article1885230/

he must be a blast in caucus meetings.

2. i didn't know that the [arachute club was big amoung the elite university set in the 1980s - that's where Mr. Ignatieff was living at the time.

Rise up, rise up...to the fridge to get a beer!

[deleted. STOP ABUSING YOUR COMMENTING PRIVILEGES. LAST WARNING. - ED]

When they showed this on CTV, they certainly edited it well. They only showed the last part and they cut out the first few creepy minutes of it. Totally biased reporting. What else is new.

And as prediced a couple of weeks ago the Liberals, through their mouthpieces, are getting ready to drop the "A" Bomb

http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5hwQcK-8jd3nckTUI4drBXwmpueqw?docId=6586713

Yup, all we need now is Carolyn Beenett on Tv now predicting back alley abortions and saying, which is "Are you Banning abortions or are you lying"

Watch for it to come up as a "gotcha" on the Sunday talk shows. I predict on Taber's question period. Every election its the same

1) Hidden Agenda
2) Cut Health Care
3) Ban Abortion

The nice thing is that the higher the number means a good indication of desperation

We are at Defcon 2 with the Liberals ad about to move to defCon 3.

We will know they really have lost it if the run a negative ad against Layton. I suspect the coalition plans will be re written inside of a week, barring a Lib bounce. It will start to look like the Liberal vote will collapse.

Would the Liberals rather see a Conservative majority or be the junior partner in a coalition with the NDP? The answer to that question will be dictated by how many moles appear and how much sabotage happens to the Liberal campaign.

Liberal vote on verge of collapse if polls get a little worse.

Campaigns matter and Jack's has been great....Once again, they never planned on winning, just keeping tories to a minority. The thought that Jack could surpass them.....probably never occured to them.

When rather cold, unemotional types simulate emotion the results are apt to be either funny or embarrassing. PMSH gets it right - his expressions of enthusiasm don't traduce what he really is - a man who is ruled by his
head.

That's PERFECT John Lewis. Just perfect.
A political campaign is a sales job. One thing I learned a few decades back is that when you're receiving training in proven sales techniques you must reject some or adapt them to your personality or you'll go hungry.

What federal election is not about our country?

So little of what is said by a politician is substantive.

Rise up, and oh, while you are up, how about bringing me a refill of popcorn and another beer?

That proves it! This guy is nucking futs.

Roger Smith at ctv just giving Iggy advice (while in Regina) 'why not tell voters in Sask to vote ndp,and get ndp voters in Ont to vote Lib?' Iggy promising First Nations the moon and more.
BTW,Fife,the other ctv moron let the truth out of the bag this a.m. Speaking to the 'desk' from PMSH's trip to BC: "I really can't speak,to what the concerns are out here in the West!"..and there you have it..they DON'T give a shite about us.

its a plea for "extended " healthcare

Iggy hits the vi agra commercials.

Just two more sleeps until Sun TV starts exposing the slime which is the MSM locked in carnal embrace with their lying liberal bed fellows....

Do they have medication for electile dysfunction?

LOL they are even wearing the same shirt.

And remember people Avazz is helping this clown-count, along with light-footed Mercer to get the student vote for Iggula, just what Canada needs is another Soros minion running our "soon to be great again country", after Harper sticks it to the Lieberals and all their socialist-communist enablers in the so called Canadian MSM.

How can you possibly lose against that?

well, he ain't no elmer gantry

and i reckon in a certain way he makes stephane dion sound positively Ciceronian...

poor f**ker...he couldn't motivate me to get off the couch if my house was on fire....

Terry Milewski filed this report on MI's channeling of Howard Dean.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/inside-politics-blog/2011/04/rise-up-ignatieff-goes-for-broke.html

Seems Milewski was himself channeling Linda Lovelace.

Quick someone ... hand that man an air guitar!!!!

Haha Please check out this "RISE UP / Howard Dean
Mash Up":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evjv06AUyhY

The poor fellow had to say "rise up" 8 times before the first man got to his feet.

I think Count Iggy should "wise up".

Just after the debate a commentator pointed out that based on how the campaign is done by parties afterward indicates how they felt they did. If you are pushing the panic button like Iggy is here your internal polling is telling you something. Also the Libs have hit on the attack ads spreading fear like they do every election.

Iggy channeling The Parachute Club:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNIdqu7crW8

Why did you think Iggy is channelling Jesus of Nazareth with his "Rise up, rise up Canada" the day before Palm Sunday?

Isaiah 51:17

Arise, arise! Rise up, O Jerusalem

Seriously, Iggy's advisor's need some help...or Iggy need a jar of halo polisher.

Cheers

To be honest, I never saw what the big deal about Dean's yell was, and how that cost him the race.

Meanwhile, churchgoer that I am, this is what I hear when I hear someone say "Rise Up."
