The Star doesn't hide its left wing leanings all you have to do is read the Atkinson principles.

Slow these days long weekend and summer coming, less time for forums, but here's something not so new but still relevant. Course its all Israel's fault doncha know. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/is...6d-a440d0ea656e

Nobody called names but a predictable reaction from a cur when cornered. I agree whitedoors, definitely an agenda havn't seen either one of them admit that Hamas has problems with gun control - I also notice that because anti semitism can be spotted they often replace it with rants about zionism which is easier to condone but is just a copout for anti semitism. We could accept their critique more easily if they didn't ignore Palestinian terorrism. You know, when in doubt blame Israel.

Ms Buffy and Ms kuzadd believe their own propaganda cos they have to listen to it so much -

Protestants in southern Ireland know what suffering is too it goes both ways.

He's not evil just deluded and on a power trip.

Our tax dollars pay for this bias, sheez more examples well at least the RCs aren't rioting pillaging and burning over it.

Argus said: When Israel starts bombing markets and restaurants of no military value with no military targets you can then make your claim to equivilency. Until that happens you are simply excusing terrorism against the people you don't like. They cannot make an equivilency because there isn't one. Strange how these two creatures seem to find the whole situation a LOL matter. I wonder if they would find it so funnyy if there on the receiving end of a Palestinian child bomber or a rocket attack bet they wouldn't be laughing then. Notice they still have not condemned the MM propaganda could it possibly mean the silence mean they condone it - nah say it isn't so.

Argus said: You should know. You will never read this happening in Palestine. No Jewish family would survive moving into an Arab neighbourhood. There would be no protests or petitions. They would simply be attacked and murdered as soon as they arrived. But that won't bother the likes of you. It reminds me of the fuss international media kicked up last year because one organization's Palestinian cameraman was denied credentials by Israel. There were all kinds of threats of boycotts, and sit-ins and such. Then someone pointed out that The Palestinian Authority held out the death penalty for any Israeli journalist to be caught in their territory. There were a few blushes, but not many. The hypocrisy among the Jew-haters and the self-righteous protectors of Palestine is so high that they are incapable of even seeing how ugly and ignorant they look to others. unquote Right on Argus, doesn't bother them pushing their terrorist agenda though terrorists right - Israel always wrong

That happens here too, also happens while waiting in emergency rooms.

Bourque this morning had a headline about this and a picture of the 3 Stooges.... not there now.

Good think you included Trudeau, he's taking a beating

Good post, this was a letter written to the Toronto Sun recently in answer to a column, don't know if it was printed yet. very well said The Editor: Stories like this one burn me up. As a father who has a son in the Armed Forces who recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan; first and foremost I am proud of his contribution to the war on terrorism. Too soon we forget that it is much more comfortable to be clashing with the enemy in Afghanistan than in down town Toronto or elsewhere in Canada. During his tour in Afghanistan; my wife and I were very concerned for his welfare. But as he strongly put it; he has trained for 20 some years to do this job and he felt confident that he had the support he needed to do the job. One of his biggest concerns while he was there was the media. All the negative reporting which took place and continues to take place. Then of course the bleeding heart politicians have to get into the act. Do you; the media and politicians not think that the Taliban take comfort when all this negative discussion is going on behind our soldier's backs. Do you not encourage more negative reporting so that we will ultimately run with our tails between our legs. Then what; do you really think that these people will confine their activities to the Far East? I think not; maybe we will have another 9/11; maybe in Canada for a change. I'm old enough to remember the last few years of WW2 when our soldiers took 100 casualties a day in fighting; where were you the media then? Why were you not encouraging the government of the day to pull out of Europe? After all; Hitler was basically doing exactly what the Taliban had been doing "killing off people who he disliked or were in opposition to him". Where was the media when the Korean conflict was taking place? I remember as a teenager reading the Toronto newspapers and finding the daily casualty list buried in the back sections. Just the names; no big deal about next of kin or bodies being unloaded back in Canada. Why so much media coverage on this particular conflict; is it because your perception of Canadians is that we are a bunch of pacifists who are afraid to get our hands dirty. Are we so self centered that we will stand by and watch millions of people be slaughtered and not care? My son and his comrades knew exactly what they were doing when they "voluntarily" signed up to be soldiers in the Canadian Armed Forces. They knew that they might have to fight in a war at some time in their careers. They weren't conscripted! They are well trained and now well equipped to do their work. Their current roblem isn't the enemy in front of them; it's you people; the media and politicians behind that are causing them the greatest concern. Soldiers need good morale to do their job; they also need the full support of the people back home; the morale fails when the support fails. Just back off; find something else to do and talk about; like all the people who are killed on our highways by drunk driver's everyday of the year; for which you the media and the politicians are very reluctant the write about or solve through legislation. As a former police officer who witnessed drunk driving carnage where up to six people in a single accident were killed; I was always astonished how little interest you the media took; yet when a couple of soldiers are killed in Afghanistan; you pull your hair our and set in on fire. name withheld for privacy Cowichan Bay BC

Fixed election dates are the best thing to happen here since sliced bread.

Gotta wonder about some people and their fixation on blaming the CPC about everything. Think the needles stuck. Most people have known for what two years or so about this and its all Harpers fault, this is getting to be like a broken record. Who can take anyone seriously when they have such a blatent hate on for someone. No credibility there now. Besides some one else said there are provisions for emergencies this is just another case of mountains out of molehills. Somepeople need to get a life huh

Good find, maybe someone should write to Jack Layton and ask how manages to reconcile lowering prices with cutting back on pollution and all that.

I am with you on that one, they sure wouldn't let it go, wouldn't let her religious comments go either. Have to agree that Dion has shown poor judgement on this and could sure live to regret it. Guess its Harper's fault tho LOL

The labour protests were never in the same league as those silly rioting students just having a bit of fun hmmm not politically correct to mention that they just happened to be Muslims. They spread to Sweden and Norway too but not widely reported in the MSM.

Don't you horny people who can't wait the appropriate place - Most people with an ounce of intelligence know you are on your best behaviour while flying these days. Whos to say it wouldn't happen in Canada, I bet it would

Yeah, and its all the fault of Mike Harris Yawn ZZZZZ

Really cos its odd everytime Israel defends itself theres the usual screams of indignation and you know, its all disproportionate. There's not usually any balance with it and I think mostly its not constructive its mainly to demonize Israel.

You all seem to forget this is a war, the Taliban don't play by the rules, if they did this would all be over by now. Not that I condone major torture but how about trying to win this one.

I don't see this thread as any more bigoted than the usual propaganda about Israel and Zionists or Christians.

I think there are double standards here, when discussion of Islam is deemed to be bigoted but the same standard doesn't apply to discussion of other religions.

I see Harper as way better than Dion, maybe Dion's lack of English is part of the problem but the Libs aren't ready for the big time yet. They need to stay in the penalty box for a couple more terms.
