.@postedtoronto @sunlorrie The late Jack Layton denies any parallels between his whorehouse bust and Rob Ford scandal.

Speaking of amusing – a Twitterspat between the Toronto Star and Gawker over ethnical journalism.
Should we let the Ontario Human Rights Commission decide if “I’d think if they [Somali drug pushers] did eat cookies, they’d be Oreos” is racist?
Go for it.
Livingstone’s comment :- “I’ think the 110-year track record of this paper speaks for itself. I have to do actual work now. Continue the ranting” deserves to be carved in stone and available for quick future reference.
He is delusional.
Their article would be an shining example of what exactly?
Just so I can point this out to my grandchildren as the pinnacle of Canadian journalism.
I am thinking of subscribing to the Star just so I can cancel it…..again.
@postedtoronto @sunlorrie @katewerk still mayor Rob Ford denies any parallels between his love-in with TORSTAR and the scandal plagued soon-to-be ex-POTUS #Iamnotacrook2013
The potential ruling could be profound…
No equivalence Kate, when they do it it’s “different” – but it’s still fun to throw their hypocrisy into their sanctimonious dream pool. Like a turd in the swimming pool it’s hard to ignore unless you’re motivated.
The whole damn thing is a farce (an “ethnical” one at that, too). This is what passes not only as journalism but proof that Rob Ford- whom the “ethnical” people of Toronto voted in- was always unfit for the job.
Oh boy….
The Star/Gawker twitter fight is pure gold.
Oh, hey was there video of Layton in the ‘whorehouse’?
No, just hearsay, hm?
PASS
I will have you know that Saint Jack Layton was attending a Community Health Center for muscle tension therapy…
Kate! How do you expect to get a Senatorship if you tweet stuff like that? hahahahaha!
That he was framed by Somali drug dealers goes largely without comment…
ethnical????
No whorehouse video? Give us an hour or two and we’ll make one…
The Tolerant Left: All Racist, All the Time.
I heard some chick on the radio this morning, sorry missed just who she was, saying that Mayor Rob Ford could apparently be easily identified in the not-very-clear video because he manifested all of Ford’s mannerisms which, she pointed out, are unique.
Her comment makes me very suspicious. Mayor Rob Ford is easy to mimic and/or imitate. All the Somalis had to do was find a guy with a similar physical shape as the mayor, dye his hair, buzz it short, tutor him in the Mayor’s mannerisms, and give him a hookah or whatever it is that’s used to smoke crack, and let ‘er rip.
I figure this is another set-up of Mayor Rob Ford and it’s got to stop. His detractors are moral pygmy thugs. They couldn’t get their Leftard candidates elected so they continue a never-ending witch hunt on Toronto’s duly elected mayor, with the TorStar leading the posse.
‘Disgusting.
Watched a CBC interview with the Torstar reporter and the reporter indicated how important it was that major national figure was on camera looking high.
Wonder if he ever saw the video of layton and marc emery, and why he wasnt equally disgusted.
Best possible result, the Star buys the video and it turns out to be a punk.
Worst possible result, it is as advertised. Cocaine doesnt belong near power if true.
And a witch hunt is something you’ll never see Hillary Clinton join, unless it’s a 1 man witch hunt. The Toronto star embodies everything that is the demented vacuous lieberal, no story, lets make one, we have been privy to the mindset of urnalists with the undoing of Harpers appointments of urnalists to the senate to please urnalists, even the so called right of center urnalists are a smelly bunch, it is just their nature. Parents who waste their money sending their children to urnalist universitys are better off to encourage them to be prostitutes, the moneys better and they would be serving a useful purpose.
This has to be the worst example of unprofessional urnalism we have witnessed in the 21st century, this reeks of blackmail and extortion of Ford sans a dram of legal evidence against him.
I’m encouraged – the Torstar has such flagging readership and revenues that one good law suit would finish them off.
George Smitherman was a self-confessed illegal drug user, but it didn’t stop the Star from endorsing him for mayor.

Oh yeah. A couple of Somali crackheads tweaked out of their already congenitally feeble minds managed to organize this?
The crack about the Young Pretender is a dead give away. Like I said, this came straight from the Libranos, who still have enough favours owed them by the Toronto and Montreal mob to make it look convincing, and definitely a motive. There are eight words that terrify the Libranos the most: “Ontario Premier Rob Ford” and “Prime Minister Rob Ford.”
The amusing thing about this is that if it is a Librano product, it’s the closest the Libranos may ever come to admitting that Justin is a ponce just like papa.
One day, when Justin is forced to beg a jury of loyal Canadians for his life, we’ll hear the truth about how Pierre took great pleasure in recruiting his three boys for sodomy, as the Jesuits had recruited Pierre before them. You heard it here first.
Gawker is raising money to buy the video. Want 200k have 45 k so far.
200k makes you a 1 per center. Will occupy be protesting in north etobicoke to ensure the dealers pay their fair share of taxes.
What if the video is a fake? Are they going to sue Somali drug dealers? Smart move. Mind you Somali drug dealers seem to die in numbers out of proportion to their population. I think you hear of more Muslim murder victims in Edmonton than you hear of natives thinning out their family.
Rob Ford on crack is like Rosie O’Donnell on Weight Watchers. Somehow the allegation doesn’t quite fit the body image.
Perhaps the Left should think a little more about plausibility before they start planning their false accusations.
I think this is the ONLY place we’ve heard it and can’t un-hear it.
Yes, oxygentax, today’s version of the story in the Saturday Red Star tried to draw a link between Ford “stumbling around” at the dinner where he was allegedly drunk to “substance abuse” that I took to mean crack use. Somehow I doubt someone on crack or on snorted cocaine stumbles around like they’re drunk.
The left should think, but they prefer to indulge themselves in their feelings. If they gave any thought to the plausibility of anything, they couldn’t adhere to the leftist/progressive political theories they espouse since all history shows those to be nonsense.
