I’m constantly dumbfounded watching Toronto’s Leftist Brain Trust on Michael Coren’s show. Part 1 discusses Rob Ford. Part 2, beginning at 8:15, discusses Radical Islam.

I automatically mute the TV when the Rumble begins. MMW is a very unattractive woman but Michael loves her for some reason. Can’t be her intellect, her personality or charm because she lacks all three.
M M-W is a boring, predictable, unwatchable, overtalker,
devoid of anything except the left’s talking points.
The Canadian version of Obama.
Never bother watching Coren on Friday.
The Left Islam alliance, leaves the stench of two skunks mating.
Meatwad is insane, just like all those who insist that Mayor Fords response to this slander is inadequate.
Corran seems to miss the obvious, how does one respond to vague slander?
Ford is not accused of smoking Crack with drug dealers, he is slanderously alluded to as having done so.
How would any of the Mayors critics respond to a similar slander against themselves?
When the video fails to surface, will anyone apologize?
Or is this now considered credible journalistic behaviour now?
If so I predict interesting days ahead for canadian media figures. What was the name of that child molester at BBC? He used his position to rape children for years, he was a media figure, therefor all media figures are child rapists.
And people can now insinuate that they have video footage proving this, or that they saw a video of someone resembling said media figure raping something resembling children .
And the rest of the media must demand a response from their slandered colleague.
His/her failure to admit their child raping ways, will be seized upon by the press as a definite admission of his/her guilt.
I love the Marion Meatwad argument that Ford must step down because he did not admit his crack addiction. I guess Catch 22 is only a book for conservatives.
I’m flabbergasted by the entire leftist idiocy and, yet, I expect it.
So just how do are you supposed to respond to the question, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”
Precisely!
“I haven’t even started.”
I am with those who tune out when the Rumble comes on, since it really does nothing for me, not the least bit informative. I don’t need to watch it to know how leftists think, if you can call it that. I will admit though that she isn’t as bad as the Irish loony he used to have on the Rumble, since the very odd time she was able to grasp the situation. I suppose there must be those who enjoy the Rumble, but it isn’t my cup of tea.
So Mr Tooner you admit it is your intent to beat your wife.
Slander and innuendo can never be rationally responded to, as those using such intend to twist very word you utter, as a self admitted wife beater you should know that.
Ps I have video of you not yet beating your wife, send unmarked bills.
And this mating is fueled by a hatred of classical liberalism and capitalism.
Joe, as Robert says, precisely.
I received three jokes about Mike Duffy today from Liberal friends in Ontario. One of them showed a new $90,000 Canadian bill with Duffy’s photo.
This friend, like Meed-Ward have a self-gratifying sanctimonious attitude of superiority that if you are not progressive you are a bad Canadian.
I’m sure that almost all of us have friends, acquaintances, or family members who we disagree with on a variety of political issues, but we still speak to.
Personally, I like the fact that Michael Coren has relatively lighthearted conversations/arguments with this woman who’s on the other side of the political spectrum. Yes, it’s frustrating to listen to someone who tends to reflexively repeat, note-for-note, the pc propaganda that’s been dished out by the media and taught in schools for the last forty years or so, but it’s also a good thing to debate, in a spirit of relative amity, someone who holds these perspectives.
Look at it this way: it’s reasonable to surmise that at least some of her supporters will tune in to Michael Coren’s show to see her, and in so doing will be exposed to arguments/perspectives that they might not otherwise hear or read.
My favorite spin on the Ford thing that I heard was on Friday evening when Ford came out and said he doesn’t smoke crack etc and the CTV journalists were speculating that must mean he did smoke crack on the video since he didn’t specifically say he did not do it. This is why Ford should have listened to his attorney and said nothing to anyone about any of this at all. This isn’t about facts or the truth or anything else. This is about taking down a democratically elected mayor. It’s a dry one for the big show trust me.
Marianne Meed Ward had a column in the Sunday Sun for a while, up until a few years ago. She was rather thick.
MMW is a human magic 8 ball of lefty cliches. Whatever will she say next? Give her a shake.
“Not all Muslims…”
“Well look at the Crusades/the Inquisition/The Westboro Baptist Church…”
“All violence needs to be condemned.”
“Many Muslim associations have condemned this terrible act.”
“Domestic violence is a problem everywhere in the world.”
“Are you saying all Muslims are murderers?”
“There can be a very real sense of exclusion which breeds resentment.”
“You can’t just stereotype people with a broad brush.”
Now I’m not saying that she’s made every single one of these statements verbatim (although I wouldn’t be surprised). She did say at the very end of this clip “all evil, all violence needs to be condemned, and cannot be justified in the name of any ideology”. Okay, she was speaking extemporaneously, but dammit, it’s just a mantra with her type. Nazism was an ideology. (My New Year’s resolution is to pull more Godwins.)
What she says is stupid leftist dribble, but the way she says it, speaking with her expressionless face in her dull monotone voice while getting louder and louder and talking non-stop to drown out the other two voices.
Why are the left so humourless and joyless? Life was meant to be a party but they don’t seem to know how to enjoy it.
I would say from the evidence Mayor Ford has not been smoking crack cocaine, he has been hiding in the production area of the local ice cream company. I have the video and will sell it for $4.00 to any interested purchaser.
Why does Michael Coren continue to have Marianne Meed-Ward on his show?
She’s an asshat and, frankly, doesn’t add anything positive to his show. Get rid of her — as in, get someone else to comment on the left.
Do have a look at an excerpt from a debate that took place in Britain recently. It is posted on youtube. Search for ‘Douglas Murray – Islam Has Failed Europe’ by Douglas Murray Archive Channel.
In his opening statement Murray cited the following with regard to European Muslims:
“… their intolerance of freedom of conscience; their intolerance of apostates; their intolerance of freedom of expression and freedom of speech; their intolerance of minorities, of other religious minorities, sexual minorities; their intolerance of gays; their dislike and distrust of half the population – women and many many other things. And the call, what’s more, for a parallel legal system in Britain and European societies. This is monstrous.
No other group behaves like this – asks for parallel laws. This is a fundamental problem and one we’re going to have to deal with. It’s a problem between a society, Western Europe, that believes that laws are based on ‘reason’ and Islam that believes that they are based on ‘revelation’. Between these two ideas I not sure there is very much compromise for Europe. It is not Europe that has let down its Muslims. But the Muslims of Europe that have let down Europe … ”
The time for politically correct speech about Islam, if ever there was a time for such vapid speech, is long over. The time for forthrightness, honesty and probity has arrived.

“self-gratifying sanctimonious attitude of superiority”
That’s the definition of a smug liberal. These people are still stunned they are not governing, are pissed off that the voter could have actually made that decision and include many in the Media Party and pretty well everyone in the Press Gallery. They will not give Harper and his government any quarter because they, in their small bubble universe, think his election and government are illegitimate.
Wow! This is a very nice post…..
The term “leftist brain trust” is contradictory.
Kudos to Coren for having her on.
It allows normal people to develop a winning counter-argument based on ideas.
Name-calling will not win the argument and I see there are more than a few here who seem uninterested in winning an argument based on ideas.
The same as Radical Islam is redundant.
SYF…quite right.Some of us prefer to win arguments based on FACTS,something unheard of to a leftard.
SYF “who seem uninterested in winning an argument based on ideas.”
Actually, that is what I would like to hear: an argument based on ideas.
Don’t recall MMW participating in one. Could be I turn her out when she starts raising her voice and miss any gem she might be offering to the discussion. My loss, obviously.
The Progressive Left is not the handmaiden of Radical Islam; its their pillow biting partner. For a political ideology so deeply in love with same sex relations, its apropos that they’re taking it up the rear from Radical Islam.

EBD / batb.
While EBD makes a reasonable argument, I lean more toward batb’s view here.
Sure, let’s have good debates with thinking old leftists.
Meed-Ward isn’t one.
I too mute or leave the room when the Rumble is on.
And EBD you’re dreaming in technicolour if you think there will be any rub-off effect on lefties tuning in to see one of their comrades. No one changes their views watching these pointless exercises.
As a libertarian, I can confirm that there are many points of convergence with the left. Banksters. Corporate welfare. Crony Capitalism. ETC.
I have a fantasy of interviewing Michael Moore. I would open by telling him what an excellent capitalist role model he is (imagine the look on this face). Making products that are voluntarily purchased on the free market. And through careful, strategic, Socratic questioning I would get him to agree that crony capitalism isn’t capitalism at all and that we are on the same page in our disgust with it.
I say fantasy ‘cos I don’t have the skill to do the foregoing. But sadly no one else seems to either. Much shouting and ear covering but no real, calm, give and take dialogue built upon some common base. There seems to be NO common ground today which is why these Rumbles are a total waste of time, and not even entertaining.
Good point
The Rumble: a place where MMW can ramble.
She comes off as empty headed. Stupidly overstating the obvious as a counterpoint over and over is tiresome. Of course D.violence is bad, so is lying, cheating, and stealing.
I like Coren but wish he’d get others to do the Rumble; it’s not appealing anymore.
Ever notice when these sactimonious idiots resort to their main debating tactic….interupting and shouting down what they disagree with…..when they get called on it…they get violent.
I don not act—-I react and generally win the debate with a round-house right….my left blocked their attempted sucker punch.
I do not enjoy great health and am a senior hence I must resolve violent situations swiftly….hence 2 hits.
That’s all the lefties have got…big mouths with glass jaws.
Menzoid is being polite.
I’d use a different word for “handmaiden”…
Coren should replace Meed-Ward with a spinning wheel of Leftarded boilerplates and platitudes. After each segment, they spin the wheel to see what the Leftarded comment is. I bet it is accurate more times than it isn’t.
Meed-Weed comes on as a programmed progressive robot. Progressives Good-Conservatives Bad,Progressives Good-Conservatives Bad…………… Wonder if she has a heart or runs on a battery
