Pauline [Couture]: Oh my God, he’s so dreamy. I wish I had an Obama.
Sarah [Albertson]: *sigh*
Pauline [Couture]: Politics is so much more inclusive when we can just chant and feel swoony. Yes we can!
Sarah [Albertson]: Yes we can!
Pauline [Couture]: Why can’t we have swoony politicians?
Sarah [Albertson]: Stephen Harper is a meany.
Nik [Nanos]: Harper is part of a sinister Republican plot to make everyone hate each other so they’d vote for George W. McChimpyhitler . If we can find a way get rid of conservatives, everyone left over would think alike, and pollsters could be objective about politics again.
The march towards Fascism is now such a happy dance, who can refuse?
That sounds just like CBC Radio One, or Newsworld, or Quirks and Quarks, and CBC News, etc.
Hi there. I am very happy to say that I disposed of the TV 2 years ago. The main reason was of CBC & CTV propaganda crap. If they can not get the news right and have to continually put their personal spin on it, it is truly worthless. They should have all their funding took away. Now that I read a lot more on computer news I have seen this in MSM from all government funded news sources. Merle Underwood.
Yea, that’s exactly what Canadians need “Hope and Change” with Obama Barak reprezenten us! Help take us out of our repression and oppression…
No?
Sounds a little like agent 86 you remember Max Smart –
Well would you believe we’d use Ezra Lavent to bring down the HRC for change………
No?
Well would you believe a couple of girlscouts with cookies to kick Kinsella and Warman in the noids?
Look, this is not a flippant comparison by any means, but Obama is the new Mussolini/Hitler in that he seeks merely to win the masses by his appeal as a leader, to Hell with his ideas, “just trust me” is his secondary message. He dismisses reasoned debate by labeling it “divisiveness” just as the Fascists/Communists conveniently labeled their ideological enemies “reactionary.” Don’t forget, Fascism values blind action over thoughtful debate.
“The march towards Fascism”
If we were only so lucky.
Take a look at the communist manifesto. We’ve covered most of the action items on the list.
We’re communists, who would be lucky to live in a proper fascist state.
Canada is, statistically, more communist than China. Cubans arguably have greater freedom of speech than Canadians do.
We are among the least free people on the planet and in this context, what do you have against fascism, anyway?
“Pauline [Couture]: Oh my God, he’s so dreamy. I wish I had an Obama.”
…………..I’d dress him up like Barbie and let him out of the house on weekends; as long as he was housebroken he’d be perfect.
and these folks are on the public purse !!!
our Obama equivalent would have to be National Chief Phil Fontaine, he was raised solely by his mother. early interest in politics. about the same ratio of minority . preaches change. eloquent to the point of filabuster , ooops.
go Phil , go Phil.
Best comment:
“I assume when you mean ‘Canada’s Obama’ you are referring to a media generated candiadate whom no one even knows where he stands on most issues.
I think that would have been Belinda Stronach.
Fortunetly, like all media hypes, Obama will be yesterdays news in no time. Like Belinda.”
Totally nauseating, and juvenile.
When they watch and hear the sermons of Obama’s pastor, who is a real piece of work, and digest the fact that this intelligent man and his wife have been sitting under the teaching (and close friendship) of this man for at least 20 years, some of the rosy glow might fade.
Unless the idea of a President who has been taught by a white-American-hating maniac appeals to them.
These CBC idiots will be among the first to swoon when the Anti-Christ comes on the scene.
fdsafaf: Fascism/Communism it’s the same thing, it’s just words for total state control. Go look up “totalitariansim” in the dictionary. Better yet, read Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism and then come back and comment. You are so behind the curve it’s pathetic yet funny. Talk about groupthink, you are obviously a product of the university system and “system” is the proper word because it did not produce an independent thinker in your case.
Knight 99 The “noids” would have to exist before the girl scouts could kick any.

Barack Obama is to politics, what Al Gore is to Climate.
.
The CBC is to new reporting what Star Trek is to space travel.
.
Lloyd Robertson is to new anchoring, what Vincent Price was to creepy movies.
Anyone have anything to contribute to this line of thinking?
I honestly can’t see any of this charisma in Obama that everyone keeps talking about?
Every time I see Obama images of the “god-king” Xerxes in the movie 300 flash through my head.
“AM I NOT MERCIFUL”?
“Better yet, read Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism”
I don’t read universally mocked books from pudgy goateed gen-xers whose mothers are literary agents; they lack gravitas, connection to reality, and accumulated wisdom.
Outside the extremely small and isolated Islamophobic community, Golberg is considered a joke, notwithstanding his mommy’s ability to land him on bestseller lists.
I ask again, perhaps rhetorically: within the context of Canada being a communist state with extremely limited freedoms, what do you have against fascism, anyway?
Doug – The march towards Fascism is now such a happy dance, who can refuse?
Men without Hats had it bang on:
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
If ever there was a song that summed up the dance that the lefties do on a day to day basis this is it!!!
Golberg is considered a joke, notwithstanding his mommy’s ability to land him on bestseller lists.
You appear to be confusing Jonah Goldberg with Avi Lewis.
Bastards the whole lot ! Self righteous media pimping for Obama makes me ill.
The journalists shill with no morals while they interfer with the democratic process of leader selection – by aiding the Obama camp.
Shame ! Shame ! Shame !
Obama is the MSM sweetheart because he is just like them….. full of shike !
When the hell are we going to get the government to privatize the Mao-Commie-Socialist CBC. It isn’t news anymore, it’s nonsense.
Sounds like dialogue from Fahrenheit 451…Montag’s wife and friends…
Oh, I’d like to add that I happened to land on Don Newman’s “Politics” recently re. the Layton interview with Lou Dobbs on CNN.
Incredibly, Newman actually slurred Dobbs as “xenophobic”, just like that, without justifying his slur.
That’s the quality of those who produce the stuff we pay for. Newman seems to believe that those who believe in legal immigration, secure borders and upholding the law eqitably is “xenophobic”.
That was the last straw for me. Newman’s no professional and I’m surprised this incident hasn’t come up.
Axe the CBC. It’s a waste of our money.
The CBC is full of infantile sycophants that never grew up: a bunch of Peter Pans, including I’m-Peter-Mansbridge-and-you’re not.
I can’t stand the banter that passes for–what?–commentary? between these twits. It seems to them self-evident that all of us totally agree with them or, if not, that we’re redneck, yahoo, no-accounts.
It’s a miracle I have any shoes left to throw.
Canada’s Obama will end up being a spawn of Trudeau. CBC has been hyping him for years and Libs are waiting for them to be elected as their new Messiah. The university students will be gushing and media will fawn all over him.
CS , I agree that the CBC is a colossal waste of money, which would be better spent on health care and infrastructure.
fdsa- are you serious? About fascism?
It’s similar to communism in that both are a socialist or group-based ideology kept in place by authoritarian rule. Of course, both posit that ‘when purity exists, the authoritarian rule will no longer be necessary’. Heh.
The difference between these two communitarian ideologies is minor. Communism posits that History naturally evolves from a primitive individualistic mode to a social, communal mode. The notion of ‘progress’ to this Final Purity is communist.
Fascism posits an a priori purity (rather than a posteriori). It is located within a people or a nation; it is an ‘essentialist Will’, focused around a Chosen People or Nation.
The group is primary, the private sphere is reduced to zero (same as communism). Fascism is against progress, focusing instead on that Original Purity which must be, somehow, expressed. Establishing a nation where that Original Purity can be expressed is a paramount duty of all citizens.
Both reject dissent, questions and debate and instead, focus on ‘group-think’ homogeneity, with everyone focused on The Pure That is Good.
Both are against democracy, both are against reason; instead, focusing on a fatalistic Will.
Both acknowledge struggle and war as basic necessities to enable the Pure to exist.
Well would you believe a couple of girlscouts with cookies to kick Kinsella and Warman in the noids?
-Knight 99
Y’know Knight, that may have already happened; he’s been kinda quiet … no one is even bothering to comment on his obscure toy blog.
I miss WarrenMonger. He’s been sulking ever since Mark Steyn made him the biggest laughingstock of the international blogosphere.
He’s an even better joke than when that pompous shyster glenn greenwald was exposed using sock puppets to agree with and stroke himself.
I’d say he’s right up there with Spitzer on a scale of ludicrous, although he didn’t have near as far to fall.
Say tufff guy how did all your lawsuits against Jay Currie, Kathy Shaidle, Mike Brock, Blazing Catfur, et al, ever work out?
Gee I just wish he would threaten Mark Steyn with a lawsuit again. C’mon Mr. Tufff Ass-Kicker Goofball … please flash your lawyerly buttocks again. We’re bored.
John West at March 17, 2008 11:46 AM “Anyone have anything to contribute to this line of thinking?”
OK, I’ll bite:
“Barack Obama is to politics, what Al Gore is to Climate.”
Fat Albert is hyperventilating about climate change and threatening perdition to anyone who doubts him. Obamaramadrama is just as much a con artist, but he’s selling secular salvation.
“The CBC is to new reporting what Star Trek is to space travel.”
Yeah, both are fiction, but Star Trek was a lot more entertaining and inspirational. If you believed Star Trek, you got some pretty good entertainment. If you believe CBC, you will get the Librano Party of Canada.
“Lloyd Robertson is to new anchoring, what Vincent Price was to creepy movies.”
Well, Vincent Price died in 1993. But Pinko Lloyd looks like he has been embalmed even longer. So in a way he too is like a scary movie – “News Fiction Reading by the Undead”.
I don’t read universally mocked books from pudgy goateed gen-xers whose mothers are literary agents; they lack gravitas, connection to reality, and accumulated wisdom.
-fdsafaf
Gee, you sound kinda bitter although you provide no specific criticism.
Perhaps you could prevail upon tricky dick warman and your other lib buddies to burn this awful book.
The ironic thing is that it is US Canadians who have given the utopian politics of Hope and Change to the USA!
It’s Trudeau Mania American Style!
Suck it up America!
It was Karl Marx who first called for universal suffrage, an extremely new and untested idea. How is it working out? Badly.
Liberal democracy is synonymous with communism; all liberal democracies tend toward totalitarianism: high taxes, restricted speech, gun control, race and gender quotas.
While it is quaint to listen to The Discredited Generation attempt to equate Fascism with Communism, it is fantasy that is not borne out by statistics, history, or anthropology.
Canada is communist. Liberal democracy is, statistically, a front for communism.
Caesar didn’t tax men 40 to 50% of their income. Neither did Ghengis Khan, or Hitler or Mussolini. Or Ahmadinejad for that matter. Only so-called liberal democracies do that. Therefore it is mathematically proven that liberal democracies are less free than fascist entities.
Barack Obama is to politics, what …
… spitzer is to law enforcement.
… kinsella is to lawyers.
… warman is to freedom.
… puns are to humor.
… Islamists are to the Enlightenment.
… the Canadian Human Rights Commission is to Human Rights.
… jerimiah wright is to tolerance.
… Trinity United Church members are to Christians.
… tofu is to meat.
… censorship is to liberal.
… socialism is to social.
… mini cooper is to automobiles.
… the Fairness Doctrine is to fairness.
… bill clinton is to truth.
… george galloway is to patriot.
… nationalized health care is to health care.
… gun control is to democracy.
… noam chomsky is to intellectual.
… keith olbermann is to athletic ability.
ET:
I’m really starting to wonder. On the one hand I agree with almost everything you express but then you invariably are among the first to eagerly rise to the bait of the trolls. You’re their dream come true.
Freedom Fan>
Yea, it is a little boring without them lurking around corners lately. It’d be nice to see them embarass themselves a little more this month, ammunition is getting low.
So fdsafaf, you contend that Canada is less free than nazi Germany, because hitler had low tax rates? That certainly is a ‘unique’ point of view.
So you are proposing abolishing free elections so that we can be truly free? Kinda Orwellian doncha think, dude?
From now on, I’ll just refer to you as fatasshat.
Just picture your words coming out of the mouth of Mussolini. That sums it up.
Cut the CBC girls some slack; they’re stuck with Stephane Dion who is too effete even for them. No relief in sight. Oh for a handsome young Liberal knight to the rescue, say someone of mixed race with an English mother and a French Canadian father who could unite the country ,someone without the baggage of political experience, someone with that certain je ne sais quoi. If only there were someone like that somewhere Nik and the girls might find happiness again.
“From now on, I’ll just refer to you as fatasshat.”
I’ve stopped supporting institutions that are hostile to white males, such as pizza shops, donair joints, and corner stores, and am surprisingly and unexpectedly thin as a result. I’m usually fat in March.
But getting back on topic: I’ve seen this movie. Baby boomer expressing shock that the CBC is somewhat biased. In 2008. And it just doesn’t resonate at all. EMG and every friggin’ sentinent Canadian knew thirty years ago that the CBC was biased as all hell.
They created this mess, and it is not at all acceptable to me that Baby Boomer Canadians would seek praise and even profit for criticizing the system that they, Little Eichmanns each and every one of them, created.
Not so fastfdsafaf, you’re a bit OT, doncha think? Anyway, we’ve had this debate before. Socialism/Communism and Fascism share a lot of common characteristics, but no they are not the “same.” Both are collective, authoritative, totaliatarian, and their utopian promises usually end in violent suppression of thought and dissent. It’s easy not to tax someone when you own their factors of production, because then you own their surplus value of labour. Marx abhored this in the hands of capitalists, but it was OK in the benevolent hands of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Just who here is trying to equate liberal democracy with fascism. You need to check your equations again.
So fdsafaf, you are indubitably quite the scholar. Just how low was hitler’s magnanimously low tax rates on the Jews?
The giggling schoolgirls at the CBC pine for a liberal leader like Obama, instead they are stuck with Borat.
This says all there is to say about Nick Nanos skewed polls. Question: If you were walking down the street and a bad guy stuck a weapon in your face but by saying you vote liberal the bad guy would let you go, would you vote liberal. Or question #2 Would you vote liberal if you were gaurenteed a winning lottery ticket in the 6/49? Yea these are close to Nick Nanos questions, they quit bothering me when I told them to stuff their stinking liberal love in polls along with Alan Greigs liberal lickfests.
There will be no Canadian Obama….his appeal is rooted in the image that he represents a move beyond the past…a “post racial” candidate.
So what gets poured into him is the hope that his success or ascendency means that the America has placed its racism behind it. Now whether that is true or not, whether he really is or not are different debates and stories. But Canada doesnt have that same thing to overcome.
Trudeau was different, captured some of the flippancy of the times, the were flippant and indulgent times (hair, peace…wtf? )
The closest Canada came to that was Campbell….representing the apparent ascendency of a competent woman to the top job in the country….we all know how that worked out when combined with an incompetent campaign….brand didnt equal reality.
Obama is dancing close to the edge recently. remember he is mixed race….his mother was white…to the extent that matters he is playing to his “black side” at the moment. Although there was a time when he was questioned about being black enough (whatever that means).
So the hope bubble, as some refer to it, continues until he meets some real issues. The nice thing about running for president and the length of time it takes is that it does tend to magnify all strengths and weakenesses.
Hillary, well there is the Kim Campbell of the US. Bright, more politically savvy than Kim, but just as inexperienced as Kim. But there are lots of 45 + women in the US who are as wrapped up in her “hope” bubble as under 30’s (the United Bennetton group) are.
At the end of the day, it will be a good fight.
CBC, well we already knew they were pretty hopeless. The annex/cabbagetown/beaches crowd is also caught up in Obama’s appeal, “wouldn’t it be nice….oh pass me some of that Chilean Sea Bass…as I was saying wouldnt it be nice to see some change in the US. I was talkng to the nanny yesterday and she was really excited about it. I think it would be fun and interesting. Oh…mmmm this is good Sea bass, pass the chardonnay please, it is an 82….as I was saying, I also think we need to change the colour in the living room. I was watching HGTV and it is time to cover over the faux finish and put up something new.”
Three more Canadians who are very lucky that Canada does not require that one qualify in order to vote. The idea of these and so many air heads casting a vote is very concerning, to say the least.
The words “policy” and “Obama” just don’t seem to go together. I haven’t seen this much pretentious drivel since the 60’s.
Freedom Fan,
Splendid list
i can’t fu%$%^&**^^%$$##@!@ING STAND IT. jesus there are just too many stupid people on this planet.
Always Remember:
Socialists are just Communists in a hurry.
You may be thin, but you are undoubtedly an asshat.
Birdbrains of a feather.
The brainless drivel coming out of the CBC mouthpieces is perfectly matched to Obama’s mindless rhetoric.
It doesn’t surprise me that cbc types are this dumb, but nanos poses as some kind of analyst.
There’ll be a new way of doing politics when a new variety of human being emerges, free of the usual ambition, greed and the rest of the crap we all carry around in varying proportions. I’m not holding my breath for that and I know Obama isn’t one of them, despite the admiring throngs.
