Question: What do you get when you cross Antonia Zerbisias with Robert Mugabe? Answer: I don’t know. Why not send her over to find out?

Thanks and cheers back, Eric, it’s great to respectfully disagree with people on something as contentious as politics.
We are such good Canadians. 😉
Notharpergirl, your intellect is as large as your explanation and vocabulary of Harper’s effect upon Canada. Zero!
Hmm… y’know, “screwing democracy” doesn’t happen when one actually does what the majority of the population wants.
Of course, sometimes we non-leftists think we’re being ignored, but I suspect Harper’s just working in mysterious ways and is actually serving our interests whilst fooling the Big Old Media into believing otherwise, so they’ll STFU and let him get to work.
If anyone’s “screwing democracy”, it’s clearly the Obamacrat Reich. Clearly. They know the majority of Americans are dead set against the agenda they’re imposing, but they forge ahead anyway.
So why don’t Leftists bash the Obamacrat Reich instead? Hmmm? Like, what happened to the anti-war/anti-President protests by deranged moonbats? Obama’s as warmongering as Bush, if not more so, yet there’s no horrible demonstrations by scary lunatics for Obama. Whazzup?
“Screwing democracy”? What action of a minority government has totalitarian imbecile hack Zerb’s knickers in a twist this time?
Wow, pretty heavy crowd tonight! C’mon, lighten up people! Well then, I’m off to polish my Obama commemorative plates. Have a good night NHG
Lots of new comments in the time it took me to post my last one…
Canadian Sentinel, Antonia’s joke may have been in poor taste but having sex forced on him without consent was *not* a part of the construct of her joke. Read it again. I suspect in your rush to attack anyone who disagrees with you, you added content to the joke that was not there. The only problem I see in what she wrote is the popular presumption that all men would welcome sex from all women indiscriminately. That’s a harmful stereotype. At least she posted this to a semi-private forum (where her privacy was violated by whoever publicly shared it), and not on her public blog or column.
Kathy, asking for factual references is fair — even for well-established social dynamics, I suppose — but you never honestly wanted me to find you “10 historically accurate examples of such men,” did you? It was just a set-up for a groundless insult, right?
You know what’s interesting? I never said “men” — you presumed I was attacking only one gender to make me look like the kind of “rigid ugly feminist” you could never possibly agree with. Again, Kathy: I did NOT single out MEN.
The sad thing is Erik restored my willingness to avoid stereotyping people who support Harper’s administration, but the ugly and empty attacks from others here is a sad rebuke to the civility that he showed me and a pathetic reinforcement of those stereotypes.
See ya.
Not a Harper Girl
Kiss me.
yeah notharpergirl, kiss the Ghost of Ed, go ahead; just leave me alone!
Zerbiasis=excrement
We had more to feel lucky about before Harper started to peel away at our national fabric
You can’t name a single example.

You and the journalist are hypocrites. That journalist thinks that because she is a woman she can treat women differently from men. Zerbisias can joke about raping men without guilt, particularly if she does not like their political views. On the other hand the jokes about raping women are forbidden, in very bad taste. You (and Antonia Zerbisias) are forgetting that men can also be raped – in Egypt, in Iran, in Saudi Arabia.
And “pathetic reinforcement of stereotypes” are yours too, because you expected and assumed that asking for “10 historically accurate examples of such men” was done jokingly, not seriously, that it was a red herring, didn’t you? And if that is not a stereotype applied to others, what is it?
Finally, being a journalist Zerbisias should have known that there is no privacy on the internet. There is no privacy, particularly for politicians and journalists.
Perhaps living in a make-believe world ( thinking that someone else is screwing up democracy but not I, never people who have the same political view as I do) Zerbisias forgot about it.
Maybe paying 7% GST is part of the national fabric.
Or is funneling money to Liberal advertising firms part of the national fabric?
I guess forcing the CF to keep flying dangerously-old helicopters could be considered part of the national fabric.
Signing on to international commitments purely for political purposes and then making no effort to meet them? Part of the national fabric!
Ella!! Right on!!
I guess an important piece of the national fabric is pressuring the BDC to loan hundreds of thousands of dollars to a criminal business associate for improvements to a hotel conveniently right next to a golf course you partly own. Without disclosing that interest, of course.
“peel away at our national fabric” is simply a silly little phrase which really has no substance. It sounds quite profound but, when pressed to give examples or even explain the term “national fabric”, the silence is deafening.
Yukon Gold:
I was offended about your post referring to the slang term……
That cannot in any conscience be applied to that ugly piece of road kill…..AZ.
Perhaps the other orifice would be more appropriate…..
Zerbiasis is a misandrist of epic proportion….pure filth….
NotHarperGirl – Is that you Warren?
Sure sounds like Warren to me.
And like other notorious hard-left spinners.
NotHarperGirl is applying the standard hard-left double standard all over the place according to convenience.
Double standard application by the Hard Left is a big part of this debate.
The Hard Left has been caught with its pants down again and is in full damage control mode.
“This isn’t what it looks like! Move on!”
Just checked back, but the tone hasn’t changed. Although I agree with Kate on the insanity of this, it’s foolish comments and foolish commentators such as these who have kept us from achieving a majority. See you Monday.
absinthe enhanced – yep. I agree with Kate too, but by making statements that sound really bad, “we” sound just as bad as those with BDS. Cheers and goodnight everyone.
Yep, NotHarperGirl
These creeps aren’t acquainted with even the basics of human decency. They think Zerbisias’ use of an old hoary joke (‘Won’t some women do to Stephen Harper what he’s been doing to democracy?’) is the equivalent of turning Zerbisias over to be raped almost to death.
It really says more about the unresolved sexual issues of everyone here on this site than it does anything else.
Yet such are the foundations of modern conservatism: sicknesses which should really be turned over to a competent therapist rather than sublimated and masqueraded as some sort of political “philosophy”.
Wow, banner day for me – called a socialist, twit and a creep all in the space of a few hours!
And I resent you because your poem got published first. Schmuck! I have it in for Brian now too.
(I suspect the whole point of this thread was to see how long it would take bleety to come out with his patented “conservatives are all sex-deprived perverts” line. He’s very well-informed about Rush Limbaugh’s personal life, let me tell you.)
And right on cue, bereft of argument, the Marxist horde of dingbats turns to faux-psychology.
I suppose painting anyone with a different political bent as sexually-repressed might be part of the national fabric.
Yeah, this is REAL classy – rape jokes about political opponents!
I don’t think there’s all that much to choose between Shaidle and Zerbasias. Both vile, extreme, half-retarded ideologues.
