  1. Who is Scott Reid? Communications director for Dithers the dribbling idiot? The only person so stunned he could make Joe Clark look good?

  3. Reid was the one who said “Alberta can blow me”.
    Now that one really pissed me off.

  4. Reid was the one who said “Alberta can blow me”.
    I think that was Scott Brison .

  5. And all this time, I thought it was the Liberal Party that had all the expertise in unmarked bills in brown paper bags…

  6. It wasn’t just brown paper bags,
    it was ‘suitcases’ filled with cash for Liberal favours…
    or so says ‘Mr. Binette, a lawyer and former ministerial aide to Stéphane Dion’
    “He told me, ‘Listen, during the 1997 election, I approached the Liberal Party because there was this land that I wanted to buy, and … Benoît Corbeil asked me to contribute to the party, and he said that, if I contributed to the party, the favour could likely be returned.’
    Mr. Binette said he asked his friend how big the donation was and whether it had been done by cheque. “He said,
    ‘No, no, no. I gave a suitcase full of cash in Benoît Corbeil’s office, in Montreal.’“ “

  8. Hey Kate, AArdvark and the rest of the BTs, let’s cash the checks we’ve been getting from the Tory bunker and buy some popcorn and beer while we watch Scotty evaporate from the political landscape.

  9. It’s funny that Scott Reid made the paid professional blogger accusation on CBC. The CBC – an organization of professional journalists dedicated to the Liberal Party of Canada and who use taxpayer dollars to force-feed their narrow political viewpoint on their audience.

  10. The only thing Scott Reid needs to explain is what brand of beer and popcorn we all waste our money on besides the sponsorship scandal…
    HRDC billions, HRC harrassment, gun registry billions, Air India fruitless boondoggles for millions,…and an endless litany of taxpayer ripoffs.
    Maybe Scott, BTs volunteer because they have had all the governmental abuse that they can stomach and any more of it will cause violent wretching, which would be waste of beer and popcorn.

  11. The seed is sown.
    From now on, those that get their information only from CBC (the propaganda arm of socialists/fascists), will always refer to this statement as a matter of fact.
    It will become a popular myth in the halls of mass media.
    You see, the mass media is a willing tool to plant and popularize political nonsense in hope that the plebeians will accept it as statement of fact, (they also have to fills space between commercials). This of course is dependent on the prevailing winds.
    Bloggers and blog commenters are informed about things, simply by their willingness to comment and read other comments, they want to know, they want to think about it.
    The CBC audience, not so much. For those, the word of CBC is the final answer.
    And everybody lived happily ever after.

  13. Scott Reid is a horse’s a** and, I’ll add to that, a blithering idiot..
    I’m constantly amazed that the CBC still has him on as a Librano spokesman because he makes both of them look bad.
    ‘Just goes to show that they live in a lib-left bubble, disconnected with most of the rest of us.
    And, then, there’s that other choice Librano spokesman, Warren Kinsella … but that’s another thread.
    What are the Liberal$ THINKING?

  14. Reid makes the usual Liberal assumption that everyone thinks and acts like he does.
    Funny how so many Liberals have the same mentality as many of the convicts I’ve worked with.

  15. I’m on a slow connection here; can anyone who’s watched the segment tell me if the CBC reporter or host – whoever it was – asked Reid which blogs/bloggers he was referring to?
    You’d think that in the face of such a grand accusation any journalist worth their salt would say “like who? Give us the name of a blogger being paid by the Conservative Party…”

  16. Facts never get in the way of Scott’s assertions. The CBC and the Liberal Party are one and the same.
    Brison doesn’t deserve a comment.

  20. paid professional brigand of ah, of ah bloggers that work for the Conservative Party
    Is there any chance that Scott Reid meant “brigade” rather than “brigand” and got the words confused?
    Just askin’, and yes he’s lying about the “paid professional” part.

  21. EBD – The CBC segment with Reid was some king of speed debate not an interview. He and another guy were on a timer and then a bell went off to indicate a change of topic. There was no opportunity for an in-depth discussion of any point. The perfect format for accusations without supporting evidence.

  22. The true lefties get into government thinking more government will solve the world’s problems.
    The opportunistic lefties see bigger government as a way to personal enrichment and/or power.
    The loser lefties can’t stand to see anyone with more than they have, so want a big government to impoverish those with wealth.
    The conservatives believe in minimal government and free society. They are as likely to get involved in government as a rancher will invest in a vegan deli on retirement (he’s already spent his whole life working with vegetarians).
    Through blogs conservatives are telling the left, “You don’t speak for me.” Reid’s response shows that the message is getting through.
    University law students are no longer automatically buying Liberal party memberships. Let’s be compelling enough in our values and discussions that the good ones will decide for conservatism.

  23. I don’t thing it would take much to make support for conservative ideas trendy on campuses. After all, students like to ‘be different’. I think that should be played up.
    Be unique, be conservative … you will become a self-reliant entity that deserves respect. What kind of respect does an individual get as part of a faceless collective? None!
    With the conceit, egoism and self-centeredness of today’s youth, appealing to their individualism should be a walk in the park.
    Remind them that conservatism allows and promotes the individual as the hero and the collective as the ungrateful recipient of the heroes’ surpluses.
    Which would you prefer to be … a hero or a beggar?

  24. Oz, I think the choice of the word ‘brigand’, like every other cheap shot he takes, was deliberate.
    He does have a point though.
    With large roving gangs of conservative bloggers running loose across the country the left lives in constant fear of having their crazy ideas face reason and logic.

  25. Scotty got the idea from the….
    ” Young Liberals ” who are a ragged collection of juvies who have swarmed a website with foul language forcing the author to close down….
    Remember?? Happened to Andrew Coyne…eh?

  26. Jeeeeeeeeezzz,
    Just checked AndrewCoyne.com. Such a good looking site….
    What a shame. Last post May 28 2008?

  27. Abe @ 2:50pm
    Reminds me of a Southpark episode where Stan starts hanging with the Goth kids do to a broken relationship.
    They keep preaching to him that conformity is lame, but Stan is expected to do and dress the way they do. LOL!
    I wouldn’t say the CPC are totally guilt free, but they are a far better choice when it comes to someone who wishes for more liberties. Unfortunately there are far too many people who believe that ones personal freedoms is an others obligation to sacrifice for, whether it be taxes or freedom of speech.

  28. Oz, I think the choice of the word ‘brigand’, like every other cheap shot he takes, was deliberate.
    ~Ardvark
    You could be right.
    I agree with the rest of your post.
    It’s just that Reid stumbles there, indicating that he may have been aware that he might have used the wrong term and the confusion causes him to stumble again before going on.
    In my mind, because brigade means a group of people and brigand is singular, the possibility that the use of the word brigand was unintentional exists.

  29. CBCpravda should be issuing a withdrawal statement and an apology, but it is a long weekend and the billion dollar baby isnt one to pay overtime to its legion of employees.

  30. Make this a HEADLINE:
    “kickbacks in the Liberal Party.”
    “KICKBACKS IN THE LIBERAL PARTY”.
    Why did Liberal Iffy go AWOL?
    Why is Liberal Iffy MIA?
    Where is Iffy “Just Visiting”?
    …-
    “On Saturday: The Chase
    Informant C4590 was the key that gave the Mounties what they needed to crack down on the sponsorship transactions – and brought them swooping down on one of his best friends. Daniel Leblanc traces how the RCMP trained C4590 to go undercover, wear a wire and get the goods on kickbacks in the Liberal Party.”

  31. Scott Reid…now there’s a first class P.O.S. As a Westerner, I would really love to meet that asshole on the street some day, though I doubt he has the balls to come west. Guys like him are all mouth and not much else.

  33. Okay, so where’s my money? I’ve been blogging for free, and everyone else has been getting paid??
    Reid probably can’t understand why someone would continue blogging when they keep getting abusive comments from lefties.
    I do think the Blogging Tories should be invited to a conference so we can educate our MP’s on how blogging works.

  34. Can I get a kick-back for making a comment?
    How much per comment?
    (Hmmm…better double-post this)

  35. If the CPC were paying SDA, I doubt very much that most of my comments would make it past a wall of censorship.
    Other large conservative gathering spots like Free Dominion have taken an obviously independent course and on some issues (Section 13 for example) the consensus is quite anti-CPC.
    There could be one or two blogs that are set up by the party to give the party line, but so what? It’s a free country. People catch on pretty fast to the party loyalists on blogs and forums. They are part of the inevitable landscape of this part of the blogosphere, and have every right to defend the party and promote it where they can.
    Just as we have every right to urge the party to do better, or become conservative (I know, that last joke cracked you up).

  36. LC Bennett @11:55 – it’s different. While the tories don’t pay bloggers, if they did pay bloggers it would be with party money. The CBC – let’s call it the Broadcasting Libranos – is financed with confiscated taxpayer money; this is far more ethical.

  37. Ah-ha…it all becomes clear, Black Mamba. The CPC, to avoid any potential conflict of interest, should insist that the CBC hire conservative bloggers. Not as good as immediate defunding but a Trojan Horse at CBC HQ could work. Between stress leave and on-air mental breakdowns, CBC’s progressive staff would be dropping like flies. Any display of political balance and free speech would provoke protests from unhinged lefties and perhaps succeed in shutting the public broadcaster down.

  38. “Is there any chance that Scott Reid meant “brigade” rather than “brigand” and got the words confused?”
    Not bloody likely! Liberals are the most erudite among us, and they never make mistakes like that.
    As sure as my Dad stormed the beaches in Norway on D-Day, I know he meant “brigand”.

  39. Epitath:
    Here lies the corpse of a liar named Scott,
    Who was stuck by his arse in a Paul Martin pot,
    The more that he struggled,the tighter was caught,
    And he died all alone with his nuts in a knot.
