Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
CBC, July 13th, 2010 – Michael Ignatieff says the Liberals must “reconnect to Canadians” over the summer […] the Liberal leader also dismissed polls that suggest many Canadians perceive the author and former academic as arrogant.
Toronto Sun, Sept 12th, 2010 – Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff’s former chief of staff, Ian Davey, hit Sun Media readers below the belt Sunday, saying they’re all illiterate.
This comment by Ian Davey confirms the Liberal view that if you do not support Liberal values, you are a bad Canadian.
Hmmmph.
In mi best unedumactaed voice I says “Honk on Bobo” to meester Daveee.
This just a repetition of the US DemocRAT theme that unless you vote for them you are educated. I speculate many voted for OBOZO to prove to themselve they were not only post-racial but most important….educated.
Ironically it only sells to the ignorant and un-educated.
coincedently: The Lets Gang up on Rob Ford was held last nite on Omni 1 & 2, If you missed this
It was the Toronto Mayoral Debate.
A most definite “clinging to guns and bibles” moment, to be sure. Liberal elitism knows no bounds.
Nothing defines common like your sidekick rural rube wearing a ball cap and a suit holding an umbrella. Hopefully I’ll see that during harvest..if there is one.
Kate i just dont get it?
You posted the Link to this article, Why?
When we are all Iliterate? And we wont be able to read that?
Lets all remember that most Conservatives enjoy the Sun & we are aka Knuckledragging Redneck bible thumping LongGun toting Naaziii’s With little or No Education.
Exactly Sasq, it’s not just the Liberal party; it’s Progressives in general.
Last week I alluded to a conversation with a Muslim friend. In the end, his argument reverted to the “you don’t know what you’re talking about”.
“Readers” are ” Illiterate” someone needs a dictionary.
Son of a Senator!
Typical 2nd generation incompetent in the family business.
What an asshole.
You have to love the way these myopic Liberal elitists keep suiciding themselves in the rural and small town Canada. They just can;t hide their hatred of real people.
Genetic liberal arrogance has always held a deep contempt for middle Canada (or anyone outside their smug little network).
Elitism is tyranny just waiting to happen.
Yes, Spell Check can be your friend; saying that, however, Albert Einstein was an atrocious speller!
******
All these comments by leftist leaders are being collected for future campaign ads, of that I have no doubt.
327 negative comments at the SUN and counting:

I’d like to write something to Mr. Davey, but how do you write in crayon on a computer?
THERE ARE CRAYON FONTS FOR YOUR COMPUTER!

Illiterate readers. Does Ian Davey know what a “contradictio in adjecto” is, or is he just another one of those uneducated college graduates?
Another great juxtapose Kate and an equally effective one would be all those SUN newspapers at ALL those ‘TIMMYs’ stops on the,visiting the great unwashed, tour.
Hans: the comments have gone viral Now @ 370 and thats what, 20mins since you posted 327
I guess that right cause i cant tell time either!
Is it a case of Brains speaking to the cheap seats…, or it the Cheap seats speaking to brains?
Its the latter,
Connect (land on or hit solidly) “The brick connected on her head, knocking her out”
So you see, the Ignatistaffer is perfectly consistent with his boss.
http://watch.ctv.ca/news/ctvs-question-period/sept-12/#clip347094
this is the clip from ctv’s question period
Interesting that Davey was sparring with Tim Powers at the time.
the viral mouth blurp is at the 406 mark of the clip, And actually the whole clip is pretty good.
As a beer and popcorn, knuckle-dragger, I like the Sun because it has pictures.
I’ll bet Ian Davey gets Gentlemen’s Quarterly for the same reason.
Being a Liberal, I’ll bet dollars to donuts, that Davey bought Playboy when he was a young adult “for the articles”!!!
How else could he have such a great edumakashun!
I just watched the clip, Davey even tries to make a funny about the Toronto Maple Leafs too! Not that, That’s a big deal Everyone jokes about them, even their own team members.
http://watch.ctv.ca/news/ctvs-question-period/sept-12/#clip347094wn team members.
And now we know why Mr. Davey is no longer Igantieff’s CoS We do thank him, however, for his latest pronouncement.
An aside — I remain unconvinced that Ignatieff actually entered a Tim Hortons during his “tour”.
Ian Davey’s real problem is that WE CAN READ
It would be better for him and his elitist ilk if we were all truly illiterate peasants. Then he and his would have more control.
As it is, we are presenting him with more than he and his can handle or he wouldn’t be lamenting about us in the first place.
Davey Boy was really unfair to his former boss Iggy who went around the country on a bus all summer trying to convince us he had the common touch, I mean he likes the smell of barns, how common is that?
Ignatieff has shown himself to be a total failure, completely disconnected from the average Canadian. His cronies, such as Mr. Davey, hurl insults at the “beer and popcorn” crowd and look upon non-Liberals as nothing more than uneducated, red-necked boors. In the meantime, PMSH continues to provide stellar leadership and Canada remains economically stable in very troubling times.
Yet the Liberals remain neck and neck with the Conservatives … according to the pollsters anyway. What am I missing here? Do that many people watch CBC and absorb the Liberal propaganda?
In a perfect world, the Conservatives should have a 2-1 lead on the Liberals with a majority government in the bag after the next election.
I may be “illiterate” but I can remember the letters in a name long enough to check it off on a ballot on election day.
I can’t read. I can write, but I can’t read.
Well you see, folks, the reason you’re all illiterate is because when our anointed betters (Leftists) were learning how to read, you all were dragging your knuckles around, striving every day to oppress & harm more and more people.
Fast forward to today, this is why all of your views are now unequivocally wrong and not worth listening to.
The basic reason why we don’t have a conservative majority is because Canadian culture in the main is far too collectivist. Too many people in this nation believe that they are entitled to something for nothing and get quite upset when anyone suggests the opposite. Just look at the reaction to the proposal to build a hockey stadium in Quebec city with tax dollars. Most Canadian taxpayers appear to have treated this news with a shrug.
The crucial problem is not how Canadians vote; it is how they perceive reality and their thinking processes regarding it. If this process is a scrambled mess of conflicting premises, as it is for all too many people, this is bound to be reflected in governments full of politicians who share these same conflicting premises and scrambled thought patterns.
Watching that vid, I had only one persistent thought throughout the whole thing: Mr. Davey = Mr. Bobble-Head.
Isn’t social progression in schools intended to do just that? Don’t think social progression is something demanded by the right. We use tutors when the teachers can’t.
biffjr “What am I missing here?”
That the majority in the country is progressive.
Actually it’s amazing that conservatives are doing as well as we are after half a century of the MSM and academia being hijacking by progressives and considering we still don’t have a Fox with images to counter surge their polar bears choking in industrial smog.
We need to bring our military home to handle the Greek behaviour when we eventually get to the point of dismantling the entitlements to the CUPE “enemy within” that the private sector can no longer carry on their backs. Ian Davey and the whole Librano$ machine assume that anyone who thinks like this is illiterate and must not be encouraged by having our own media outlet.
Scratch a Liberal, find an elitist.
Not surprised, really.
I understand a new word has been coined for folks like Mr.Davey. If you are both stupid AND an asshole that makes you an “ignoranus”.
What are youse peeple’s talking about? I canst read,so can one of them leftie elitists upload something here I gin listen tooo???
Are these insults effective? Canadian newspapers and magazines have been using variations of this theme since at least the Reform era. What happened? The evil knuckle-dragging Reformers ended up being the party in power, they generate more donations and are moving further into LPC turf. So, please let the progressives scream “Illiterate! Knuckle-dragger! Beer and Popcorn!” and whatever other nuanced insults they can think of. The US experience shows that it certainly hasn’t stopped the rise of Fox News. Hicks have this annoying and persistent habit of ignoring their social betters.
I actually got annoyed reading a dictionary because of an obtuse example it used to attempt to illustrate a particular meaning.
Apparently I’m illiterate though, so I must have been wrong.
So the elite are no longer ‘afraid’ of SunTV…they diss the readers too.
Apparently only TorStar and Cbc’ers vote, eh?
Beer and popcorn moment for sure…
And yet the multitudes of entitled in Ont. and the Maritimes will still vote for these phony ass pantywastes. Boggles the mind really. Quebec has the BQ so as to appear to not vote liberal.
After i had someone read it to me i was completely outraged.
I am considering sending a ‘letter’ with some stick figure picto-grams expressing my thoughts on the subject.
Well said Dennis @ 1:41!! A big block of Canadians feel ‘entitled’ to a luxury life and they do not want to lift a finger to get that life. The sterling example, along with Quebec, is the Yukon Territory. The territory is rich in minerals, has 30,000 residents and is building a BIG cultural centre on the riverfrount and numerous old people’s housing units (luxury units); all this is free from all of you tax payers down south; as everyone either works for the gument or survives from spin offs from the gument. Yukon residents over 65 don’t pay for prescriptions, dentists, eyeglasses or housing (if they don’t have savings), if they do pay for housing they get huge grants to help pay taxes and heat bills. The Yukon produces nothing but greenies and land treaties. We have a huge HIV/AIDS infected population because the territory pays for their meds on your dime. The Yukon residents feel very smug about living ‘north of 60’! Did I mention that the Francaphonies have a huge budget and control much of the agenda.
Ian Davey needs a time out with the MOM SONG…
proof that the nanny state will never work!!
The Mom Song with lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXgoJ0f5EsQ&feature=related
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here’s your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed
Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where’s your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don’t forget you gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us it’s the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodon’tist will be seeing you at three today?
Don’t forget your piano lesson is this afternoon
So you must play
Don’t shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside
Don’t play rough
Would you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don’t forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don’t make me come down there
Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don’t sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod’s my iPod if you don’t listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you’re coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You’ll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you’re older and you’re grown
Can’t wait ’til you have a couple little children of your own
You’ll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I’ll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door
Don’t get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I’ll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of…
I don’t care who started it
You’re grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven’s sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said at least a thousand times before that
You’re too old to act this way
It must be your father’s DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I’ll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don’t forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom’s work never ends
You don’t need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I’m the Mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
Ta-da
Cheers

Hopefully I’ve got the right guy, but KevinS will tell you that this is Ontario’s way of demonstrating how Conservative they are. Right Kevin?
Gee, another contemptuous Liberal aparatchik. You ever wonder why government is such a nightmare to deal with, its because its filled with guys like that.
Phantom @ 3:34
I prefer to substitute “guys” for “Chekists”. It’s gender-neutral. 🙂
tewchip said: “And yet the multitudes of entitled in Ont.”
Make that: “the multitudes of entitled in” TO.
That’s better.
Fawnix werked fore me.
tewchip’s ‘phony ass pantywastes‘ is somehow an even more apt description than he probably intended! :~D)
re: Canadians still voting Liberal. Even now about one third of Russians would vote to return to communism. Go figure.
