I mean, is this someone I should know?.
His so-called “child” soldier witnessed the destruction of 9/11. Thus, this so-called “Canadian” chose to fight at the side of foreign terrorists he knew were capable of mass murder. And after finding himself on the losing end of a firefight, this so-called “anxious innocent” watched his one, last “help me” opportunity come and go as he lay in the Afghan dirt.
Instead of grabbing it, he threw a grenade.
So, now he begs?
Omar Khadr deserved to be dispatched then and there. His father might have been dispatched by the Pakistanis, which would have spared everyone a great deal of trouble, were it not for the meddling of Chretien. We made that mistake once – we need not make it again.
So yes, Mr. Good – kill them all. Kill every last one of the wretched vermin and do it before they breed.
I hope he appreciates the traffic bump, whoever he is.
Update – Self described blogging behemoth Matt Good sent a total of 190 visitors to SDA as a result of his July 15th link. Woohoo! Why, that’s nearly 100 a day – bumping the traffic here by nearly 1%, or to look at it another way, by 1/5th the number who arrived at the page via Kathy Shaidle in six hours.
If there ever was a way to impress a backwoods xenophobe about the strength of your readership, I can’t think of a better one. Except perhaps, by mentioning the 70 times you’ve “crossed the country”. Hey, it’s a start!
Upperdate! – unable to prove his “my traffic is bigger than yours” claims, Mr. Good decided that deletion was the better part of valor. Not that it stopped him from whining. Nevermind that Mr. Ad Hominem Is Not Tolerated Here chose to fire the first shot with tired, stereotypical references to “backwoods” Canada that can only be described as abject bigotry. Like every good lefty elitist, Matthew Good’s “multiculturalism” doesn’t include yours.
As a practical matter, this is why there are no new arrivals at Gitmo. It has been made clear to troops that the moral relativist twits and ACLU windbags amongst us will sooner or later release these vile murderers to murder again.
As happened in the Pacific during World War II — when attempts to capture Japanese were met with suicidal grenade attacks — it’s only good sense to kill the little bastards when they’re out in the open, pre-emptively solving the problem.
Or, as someone once told me, “Two in the chest, then one in the head.”
Grim, yes — but they don’t come back to kill you later!
Under the Child Offenders Act is it not illegal to post or reveal the Youths name, So where is all the outrage from the MSM & Jhad sympathizers?
Oh right, because it Happened in another country & Under the wing of a terrorist organization, War is War & the do-gooders of canada seem to forget that we have been at war since 9/11.
It’s Time for a true Poll, A Harper Majority.
If you check out some of the comments on the CBC site, you will find out very quickly that many eastern Canadians have a great deal of disdain for any opinions coming out of the west. They really dislike us. I mean really dislike us. I guess he’s another one of those.
Hey, Matthew, the NDP is gonna need another campaigner, you see their buddy Steven Page may end up in the klink over a bit of cocaine…I’m sure you’re interested.
BTW, I don’t think I have ever heard one of Matthew Good’s songs! Is he any Good?
There is not any need to hold trial of khadr is too long for at least 6 years that even his fatehr died in that period
usualy that trial could take at least 6 month under his age of teenage now he is adult and still you can not bring his childhood to get change under his today age.
nobody knew details of how he got arrested
nobody know when they got arrested what document proof he was kill soldures
nobody know why he was there in first place
plus so long ago happend most documetn can ve change
video and some document also can be edit in some center to not show all detail of real taht date taype as well
hwo do you know US may cut some of tape if it show against their documents
two parties are fighting nad one has lawyer and otehr has US crown both tried to win the case
but public want to know the truth
having him muslim is not related to give him all murder case
again driver of bank ruber and made food for band ruber may be Khader with that age only do made himself ready when he got older repear his fatehr job or may just made food ready in oven for people go to kill back home need food and wash dished
again charge Khadr for murder is issue
charge khadr for wash dishes or stay there os like to watdch his father act or driver of bank ruber does not give him stay 6 years with no trial
every body deserve human right fair trial and every body shoudl punish for waht wrong act did
you can not add more pressue to the kid because he is Muslim
and for me as I watch this boy is not mature yet having him 21 years still not know why he must go there
what do you expect criminal adult who has children may behave thos children in genergal know theire parent may do daily illegal act and knwo not to tlak or help dad sometimes
therefore if parents are criminal not children both need to seperated from each other for some times and boht need to treat differntly
Mthew good is right they did torture the khadr
canada ignor him becuas harper not like muslim in any shape
if Muslim are criminal or not criminal still goverment see both as one eye
let kill all Muslim in Canada and let fired them all as govement act is these
you can not deny if the khadr is criminal and he is war criminal or assosite criminal
this is not up to govement to refuse take bad and get bad out of Canada and keep the good inside the canada
we must review policy of govment to see muslim as all criminall and not pay attention as right of citizen even if they did crime is discrimination
on other hand let me tell not evey thing Khadr did may fault of his mother
but if you have candain child who did crime
canda deny and ingonre nad close their eys saying this kid is not belong to us you US please keep it for ever or ship them all
it proof the govment of canada are not see inside problme exist in Canda more serisouly
inside canada is too much hate and poor and not job given in fairnes to Muslim then those child like Muslim are grown likd today black young offender who has majority of criminal code here
then the policy made or encourge canadain send thier child to fight candain this is something wrong in canda
review khader problmes if he is canadain is point of Methew good is which is correct
govement must not see this case religion dislike govmenet must see thsi with documetn what crime he did and punish him the same rules
this case exactly like if those canadian in Saudi should left alone but now their head are gone and if goverment send khadr to hand of US who kill thier soldure most likely they torture khadr more then
involve war in afganten wih canda was premature and now canadais there must know small but powerfull afgaini who are theves and steal and rub and kill people for money live in afagnatan and transfer drug from afganstain to paksitan those group are not Muslim are street theves and very danger and may cut your finger for seal your rings
adn children of thos criminal also in high risk to repea waht their parnet train them to do
this matter is poltically criminala nd bring govemetn of canada i like good one and hate bad one leave canada isnot solution for inside canada today problmes is
the problems must stop war and crime and help chidlren involve as teens in war this must stop
like children traficing if some one has porn busiens and send young teenger to this indusry by force or train those teenger the best job is to be actor for porn the same damage mentaly to kid
in compare if parent are criminal any kind it odesn not matter in any way to kill some body using all tools then teenger are victim and need to treated differtnly consider their age teh parent to blame not them for full repsonbilty in that time
are you telling me if you
I’m a fan of his tunes, but his lyrics and delivery are, well,over the top.There are some artists who try too hard to be edgy and profound, and they have nothing to say.Matt good is very inarticulate and juvenile, but somehow, his melodies do rock out,so what can you do? Sinead O’Connor is a bimbo, but she written some fine music.It takes all kinds.

That BA$TARD!
Res: That’s some fine verbal diarrhea you just spewed.
“the problems must stop war and crime and help chidlren involve as teens in war this must stop”
You may be on to something there res/haye/new.
Given that majority prison populations in France and Spain are Muslim, what common element might be inciting such criminal behaviour? What literature was Papa and Mama Khadr using to teach poor lil’ Omar?
Could it be the Noble Krayon, er, I mean Koran, Hadith and Sira, including lessons and sayings from the child raping and mass-murdering prophet are at the bottom of it?
“They really dislike us.”
I like you, soccermom!!! Of course, I can’t speak for all of ’em.
After reading poster “susan mcewan” I understand clearly why the judicial system is so screwed up in regards to “young offenders” specifically:
“As a mental health professional who has worked with Young Offenders for the past 20 years, this sickens me to a degree I cannot describe.”
An ex-girlfriend of mine’s father was a cop who caught a serial killer back in the ’70’s and after 12 murders (and 20 suspected,) he found out that the killer checked himself into a mental hospital after his 2nd killing, told the “mental health professional” what he had done and what he was and they let him go. A minimum of 10 murders later (and they think it was closer to 18) the worthless shrink suffered not so much as a reprimand.
Needless to say, I do not have a high regard for leftard shrinks and other worthless bleeding-heart, soft-on-crime vermin.
He was only a child so I guess his mother should be charged with child abuse for raising him to be a killer, or child endangerment for letting him go with his father to train. Didn’t OBL attend the daughters wedding, again child endangerment. What about charging her with a hate crime, as she was afraid if her sons stayed in Canada they would turn homosexual. Are liberals so stupid they think we can’t tell that in 2003 it was the liberal govt that allowed the poor boy to be tortured. I will e-mail the PM and tell him I support his stand on this issue.
Yeah Dave, res/new/mos/haye has been having a lot of trouble with that retard-to-English module.
Warwick – I wouldn’t believe what she wrote, it’s nonsense. Psychiatrists have an ethical and legal duty to warn law enforcement. I’ve seen it in action over my own mental health career. Her comments are the dumbest of the group over there, but, you ain’t seen nothing yet unless you click through to her site. If you really want an expose of an absolutely vacuous person, an empty vessel, she’s a case study in arrested development. I assumed she was in her early twenties and was stunned that she is 42. I’m embarrassed for the poor woman, but, she put it out there for the public to view.
It’s horrifying to realize that she works with children, but, then adult clients would be way too far out of her range of maturity.
I wish I’d thrown my other shoe at that a-hole.
Wasn’t that MG who got arrested on the YouTube vid posted yesterday?
Matthew Good is a wussy who once left the stage in Ottawa after 4 songs because..horrors..an empty water bottle landed on the stage 12 feet from him.
He had already sung his one-hit wonder song..so no one really cared.
Penny,
The part about the shrink and the serial killer was my story and it was told to me directly by the cop himself.
He interviewed the both the shirnk and the killer (who is still in the “silence of the lambs” ward in Penetanguishine – which is Canada’s highest security prison.) Consequently, the killer was Russell Johnson, the balcony killer.
This was also the 1970’s so things MAY have changed afterwards (and maybe even as a result of that twit.) I do know the shrink (whose name I don’t know) had a nervous breakdown afterwards but given that his negligence cost between 10 and 18 lives I have limited sympathy.

I propose that little boy Kadr be set free … set free in Afghanistan. Let him go, let him grow, I say. He’ll either be atomized in an airstrike when he returns to the Taliban, or he’ll end up fertilizing the soil when his former victims get a hold of him. Either way, the ranting coming from the left for the next decade will be well worth the price of admission.

Tom,
It was a rhetorical question…
Instead of PURPOSELY murdering the English language “res”, and spewing crap on this blog, go shit in your hat. You’re fooling no one.
Warwick, wow, that is truly disturbing. I missed that it was your story. The Tasaroff decision in CA in ’74, adopted in I think all states now, created the “duty to protect” standard for pyschiatry as follows:
Duty to Protect, Not Duty to Warn
How is a psychiatrist supposed to protect a victim, rather than just warning a victim?
California Supreme Court: “The discharge of this duty may require the therapist to take one or more of various steps. This, it may call for him to warn the intended victim, to notify the police, or to take whatever steps are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.”
I can’t image that Canada hasn’t adopted something similar. The psychiatrists I’ve worked with have never hesitated to phone law enforcement if they perceived a specific threat of harm to others. And, any hint from a pedophile that they may not be able to contain their urges and trust me the parole officer, law enforcement and in one case a school was put on notice.
Let’s be constructive about this.
Just because there aren’t Matthew Good videos on MUCH, doesn’t mean the industry model hasn’t shifted to one he has been able to seamlessly adapt to. To my knowledge, there wasn’t a video for any of the singles on his last record, Hospital Music, which went #1.
He remains one of Canada’s top selling musicians (touring & song sales), and therefore, is among the country’s most popular/respected.
Geez, there is so much bullcrap being spewed on this subject, I am not sure where to begin.
1. Anything that comes out of the mouth of any guitar player means jack squat.
2. The little terrorist was armed, was engaged in combat and was an unlawful combatant. He deserves whatever punishment comes his way.
3. Res – why do you come here? Everyone here thinks that you are an idiot, a poseur and a jerk off.
4. Our government should not lift one finger to help osama lite.
5. His family did not help him at all with their theater of the absurd.
Message to MG…..looks like yer buddy, Stephen “If I snort a million dollars” Paige could use some help. Stick to what you know dude. Coked out idiots and star struck groupies.

Take it from there.
“ACLU windbags”
Yeah, I mean who really needs people to defend fundamental American rights like the Second Amendment?
Chris: As successful as Matthew may be on the music front, please see Kingstonlad’s first point just above yours.
Let’s be even more constructive. Over at Good’s site there is an e-mail link to Harper’s office. Use it to let PMSH know your thoughts about the little terrorist. I did,thank you MG,maybe we can make sure the rat bastard lives out his days in Cuba.
The majority of nonMuslim view muslim are idiot
in big picture probably yest to generalize all
Is every reader think my idea is idiot? No
few individual who slander muslim and Islam are
repeatdely say thier opiono about me
how come Mathew good singer suddently got politican of Muslim people he may went to some depresion take some job and leave it to otehr job new job for him is blogs probably
may be his wife tell him to write that down it is not him some idea may be right not all of it.
solution: if Phantum, Free, db, Penny and Et are not repeat thier abusive probably nobody else will complain
my English is issue may yes in some extend
my idea is not clear ? I do not think so.
see muslim view differen than you may think we all are idiot ? try to used to Muslim idea
reduce your hate
why I am hear to say some Muslim view of what nonMuslim slander every single problmes blam to all Muslim and you see we may have share or disagree in our idea
do I care if so many people dislike me?
Not a penny or dime I care about your idea if it is differnet than mine still this is my idea
you must used to change different view not clap for what your group like to see
truth is different that what is may think off
why the hack they keep teenger for trial so long
because he was in war
Khadr father was rich man I heard in one blog
how do you know Khadr’s fatehr may be one of big druge dealer or kill civilina for money of them?
why do you think evey body in war zone are come to kill for sake of politic so many people go and take from dead body only their watches to steal
In Afganstena some area are barbarin and poor involve druge
you can not generalize all are bad
in some area in Newyork are vey danger people live bad you can not call all Newyorker are criminal but you can blame mayor of Newyork not do good job though
Canada stay for some years in Afgansten could some one tell each year what they did what improvement form securtiy for health or education tehy had over there
every day Canda stay in war they got lot ofmoney from UN where and how those money spend daily andmontly is any body got that report to public
or they are in Afganztna and hate to built any develpment there because you think all afgani are bad that is not true
seeing one Muslim prison in young aga is nothing new how to handle the case from Canada goverment is under question
Is people who are polite know how to handle the rude bodys
like you grow with differtn culture and suddenly as foster parents some one give one wild child form middle east to help them coop with new canadain culture can very polit culture of English but angry under skin as you can see not able to see comments in differnt handle middle eastern who are emotionaly but may kind if they talk them reasonable
when you attack the country what do you expect to see tehy seat and die they will defend too
every side has their own reason I did attack all afganstn to get osma ben laden do you knwo wher is ben ladn is ?
Pakistain got too many money to made area calm in taht region instead they use money to pay their debt and not pay attention to security of region
how do you know pakistan intentionaly like Afgantan look bad to all public to let USA to pay them billion of money yearly
if Afganten get calm down Paksina may cut from their money of war in area
since US came to region viloence not decrease but it was increase and dead are increased
then Muslim view are differnt thna nonMuslim
US like to have war in evey wher nad not look for solution to stop the war
stop the war and blam war for adult not to teenger and children of war soldures of both sides I donot support any both parties in have war for solution of region expec Pakitan and US army gain credit not human live there
what hack Army of Canda are doing there and what they did? nobody know?
if canada is too naif not able to hold prison of war and in past month lots of them are scape from prison then it is better Canada back home because canada is not able to take teenger soldure such as khadr who born in Canda to take care of him by law how they can take care of people who born in Afgantan can listen to order of Canadian soldure
canadain soldure back home and let us and Paktian and aftanstian handle the war already started. they can not even bring Khader after 6 years to jsutice to know who and why he did taht then canadian can not anlayse date with blogs and not real data
Honestly, I am disgusted by this blog. Who is Matt Good? Yeah…that’s a good one…
What the hell is small dead animals? Oh yeah! It’s a small time conservative blog that tries to flame anyone that brings up an intellectual opposition to it’s rightist beliefs.
Matthew Good is a well established Canadian artist. One of the finest since the 60’s and he deserves respect. If you read his blog with any sort of open mind you would understand that he is far more than “just a musician”. He has received notice from the likes of the Canadian Globe and Mail and The Hour, to the UK’s The Guardian.
…But, oh yeah…none of the people reading this will know what those sources are…they only read this blog…
Hey Rob,
If you wanted your boy to “get respect” you wouldn’t quote the most far leftwing, bias A-holes as his supporter.
Have you seen the cartoons in the Guardian depicting jews? At the risk of violating goodwin’s law, even Gobbles would be blushing. Nowhere on earth (outside of the muslim world) will you see such viscious hatred against jews.
Also, you don’t do yourself any favours bringing up the ’60’s either.
Go shower hippy! lol.
Now blogs Methew Good and Small deal animal and thier fans are fighting
in future my prediction is
we need to offer order of Canada to all Canadian soldures and Khadr and his family for take order from US for look for osmba ben laden kill anybody except him
both are killing each other except real danger criminal working in Afgantan before and after ben ladne who attract ben laden in first place to aftangtan because you can free to do any thing drugs stealing money and killing cuting head or hand and all other thing
order of canada will wait like that abortionist few years before Khadr die will give to him and and all sodlure of Canada
and all fans of MG and SDA could you rather than fighting for hear two view different could go to your room and consider Canda hotel Canada and not listen to US made up story of Sep 11
It does not matter who is MG or SDA or may they are nobody to this case they only are competitors of each other
MG may see SDA got more comment got Jelous put something not related to bring his blog number# 1
do not fight
if let canadain all of them fight togeether after topic of Muslim get finish
Peace
thank you
Thank you, Rob, for your no-account rant. Quite amusing.
I know nothing about Mr. Good as a musician. It seems he has some credentials in that department. Good for him. However, such credentials confer no credibility on his opinions about the Khadr case, with which, as you see, most of us here disagree: our right, in case you don’t know, as fellow citizens.
And, yes, I’m quite familiar with the G & M (I cancelled my 30 year subscription a little while ago), the CBC, and The Guardian, a socialist propaganda rag. To suggest that we’re uninformed idiots is utterly parochial (you may look up the term).
Smarten up.
And I sent you those readers in the last 6 hours, not in the last 48 🙂
This is the blog that says it’s permissible to kill endangered species of vermin because they happen to be in your yard. This is the blog that feeds the visceral, irrational side of human nature. This blog adds no new commentary. It offers no new information or even a novel angle on current events.
It simply questions every moderation we have created in our society. It questions “the deal” we have struck with each other as citizens, and it implies, in the spirit of technicality, visceral satisfaction and political division, that the rights of the majority must never be moderated to any small degree to accommodate the rights of the minority or the rights of those in our society who, by majority decision, we have decided must be accommodated because they are not equally privileged.
This blog fundamentally mistakes the spirit of discussion and negotiation which grounds democratic government, and, in doing so, this blog misconceives the character of the institution which is the fountainhead for the rights and the amorphous “way of life” it advocates. That is the pinnacle of political irony. Congratulations on reaching the top.
You must not fail to understand history, governing or constitutional law as a process. The “values” of a present “majority” periodically and predictably become oppressed when the majority “values” are not in good favor. Therefore, the first rule of democracy, government and political blogging is that minority perspectives and rights of dissent are always given careful consideration, and only cautiously and conservatively are they abrogated. If you fail to observe that principle, you fail to be relevant as a political commentator.
Disgusting that almost everyone of these posts has some degrading comment to make about Matthew Good without ever accomplishing anything themselves.
Matthew Good has written songs about our degenerating culture, especially here in North America, while blogging about topics that actually matter.
Unfortunately for you, you’ve only read the one about Khadr. I don’t agree that he should be freed and that everything Matt says is a god sent omen, however, he does have reputable sources and he does make GOOD music, regardless of what you think and negative comments you choose to post that show an intelligence level the size of a mustard seed.
Matthew Good spews verbal diarrhea…re-read this post and this blog, oh and where are your sources?
Given his pathetic site stats, I say we start calling Matthew Good “Matthew Just OK”.
Matthew Good is a CREEP.
A while back I would have defended him in this type of scenario, but you know what? His whole persona on that blog may not necessarily be a facade, but of what I met of him in reality was a HUGE disappointment. He is a misogynist, and he treated me with perversion. It was downright inappropriate and creepy. So Mr. Good, instead of pretending to care about human rights issues, why don’t you stop creeping on young ladies and show us the respect we deserve? Us ladies have enough s$!t to put up with in life when it comes to career and social issues, we don’t need our idols getting all perverted on our asses. I know you had a bad divorce and probably feel contempt towards some women, but this is total, utter BS and I will not be quiet about this.
Matt Good, you are now fake to me and I will not support your career again. You wouldn’t do the same for me anyway.

Rob – two things, we have read Matthew Good’s blog with an open mind and have been having, as you’ve noticed, an open discussion about his post. He put it out there, so it’s fair game. Right? Secondly, who cares that he’s a musician of whatever stature, it doesn’t exempt him from criticism of his political views.
Oh, and as far as “flaming” goes, Matthew Good’s regulars have flamed the few well reasoned comments that were in opposition to their lefty views. You didn’t notice?
Hey Kate, I think you should post the picture of Omar and his sting of Trophy hands from his time in Afgst.
I don’t think he could blame ignorance for that.
Tut-tut Rob, get a grip! You may not agree with our political bent but the majority of those who comment here are well read and fully aware of what’s going on in this Country and around the world.
Being in a well established music group doesn’t give license to deal in or take illicit drugs. He’ll have to explain this one, deal with his fellow band members as well, he’s let them down.
Perhaps his friends on the political Left which he supports will say he was set-up and jump to his defense.
It’s stupidity for entertainers to get involved in political activism as well. He’s showing plenty of stupidity. It could be the end of the BNL’s.
They could always go into politics. Jack Layton is a bit of a musician himself,I’m sure he’d be happy to have Matt and the boys join his merry band,there’s sure be perfect harmony.

Buck-up and move on if you can’t take dissenting viewpoints not at one with your stale, ’60’s, granola-munching, Marxist, hippy screeds. Be gone with you then. You will not be missed.
Wow…this is highly entertaining. I have blogged for years, read blogs for years longer, and I had no idea Good had one.
His response to Kate’s post is so ridiculously pompous. The Guardian? Does he live in a cave?
Good can write a sentence, I’ll give him that. But his views are conformist liberal-elite. Haiti? That’s all you got Matt? And it was a coup for privatization? Really?
P. Martini – what the heck are you talking about? What blog are you referring to? Kind provide some examples for your specious and empty generalizations.
And I mean every sentence – your entire post, each sentence, is a vapid ungrounded generalization. How about some facts, please.
What ‘endangered vermin’? What lack of ‘new’ information (and why should information be ‘new’?)
What ‘deal’ we have struck with each other as citizens? What blather about majority and minority?
You sound like a hapless hopeless undergrad, trapped in the empty vapid rhetoric of a first year class. For heaven’s sake…take a course in critical thinking and get out of the foggy trap of pompous empty words.
beccasteps – I don’t care that Matthew Good has written songs. So what? That doesn’t mean the content of those songs have any validity as political analyses, it doesn’t mean that his views are based on actual hard data and analysis. Therefore- so what? He’s free to express his opinion. Others are free to critique it. So?
