Oh do please expand on this.

Hang on though, Im getting some popcorn ready for this.

I wouldn't expect any further explanation. When you don't have the character to admit you were very irresponsible by calling the Star reporters liars, all you can do is a drive-by smear and then disappear again. :lol:

The Star made Ford a martyr because of their ridiculous imbalanced reporting. They are a classic example of lazy journalism and bias impairing the ability of the media to serve as the final line of democratic accountability. They forced that role on the Police Chief who never wanted it.

Ha d the press done its job, Blair would not have had to do his the way he did.

Ford isn't a martyr. You may think so, but it's not true. The truth is that the police investigation into the video wouldn't have happened unless they received information that a video existed. If the Star didn't indicate that they had seen the video, all we would have to go on is the word of some gawker editor who didn't know the difference between Pierre and Justin Trudeau. The police would have likely ignored it and you would still be saying the media has a conspiracy against Ford.

Ow wait, you're still saying that, aren't you?

This is interesting....OPP have agreed to oversee the Project Brazen2 investigation at Blairs request.

Hey RoFo and DoFo.....methinks something is coming down the pipe. Do you guys know your wrist size and would a perp walk be ok?

Or blair is to involved to be running this investigation. Losing this is a black eye for blair not ford.

There are not countless people like Rob Ford in high office. You can't even name one. He may or may not be a horrible human being, but he certainly hasn't acted like a "normal" one. He deserves everything he gets not just because he compromised the city by cavorting with gangsters and threatening violence and firing people for doing their jobs, but also because he didn't have the character to resign when he was caught for it. The Star deserves a medal not only for exposing Ford but also for withstanding the abuse from Ford's enablers, like you, who don't have the character to admit when they are horribly, horribly wrong.

What I keep saying is the star went overboard and they came off like bullies and that is one reason why people are backing ford.

Reporting facts is bullying now? What about firing someone for telling you should get help? What about saying a city worker and his boss should both be fired because someone took a picture of him with his eyes closed? What about a gangster friend getting charged with extortion for trying to muscle a compromising video from their fellow gangsters? Am I being a bully for even mentioning this?

Come on bubbly , they went overboard with him, because they have a hate on for him,even before the trouble started. Where have they ever went out of their way so much over other politicions that got into trouble. Where was there reporting when smithermen and dalton were destroying this province. If I remember correctly they came out on the ORNGE scandal, because IMO they had to ,to save any shred of accountabilty they have left.

Keep telling yourself that. Victimhood looks good on you.

Y'all remember that it wasn't the Star that broke the crack story, right?

Some people rewrite history 8 months after the fact.

At least that appears to be correct since facts have been skewed by those who support Ford.

Every single argument for Ford has been debunked, yet some here continue to support him.

Whacked I tells ya...whacked.

Ford as tourist attraction ...

http://m.torontosun.com/2014/03/05/toronto-riding-high-on-rob-fords-exploits

Put Fords face on the billboards of the world. Hes a walking tourism slogan.

CN Tower? Pffft. Our mayor is even higher.

What happens in T.O. stays on YouTube."

"Toronto is for lovers and other strange dudes."

Hell, maybe hell agree to hang out at the zoo once a week. Isnt the former elephant pen vacant? Theyll flock from Toledo, from Tijuana, from Timbuktu. Make him dance! I thought he danced! Can we feed him, daddy?

Yessirree. Come to Crazy Town!

I feel that the dancing bear analogy is a good one. One is first surprised when one initially sees the bear get up on its hind legs and spin. Then it provokes a sense of humour because the act appears silly. Then, one notices that the bear is not really enjoying itself but just performing for food - and then one begins to feel sorry for the bear. Finally when one sees that one cannot help that bear then one turns away in disgust with the spectacle and the handlers.

Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

I stopped watching the afternoon soap operas a long time ago because they just got so silly, boring, and a waste of my time. Now thanks to the Rob and Dog show, I find myself back in brain dead land just from watching the news. And if try and get away from it by tuning in to the late night comedy shows, there we are again. When are we gonna clear these decks?

Amazing. Sad. True.

And the bear's probably drugged too.

Countless cases of people like rob ford no matter what political stripe you are, but why is he a horrible human beingv. Did he rape and steal?? Does he bugger little kids? No he acted like a normal human being that got into some trouble. But people like yourself that think their shit does not stink are a minority and yes you can thank the star's obsession with him for becoming a international star at Toronto's expense and it looks mighty fine on you. And let remember it is the left that likes to be soft on perverts in this country, not the right

I see Batshit crazy posts continue on this forum....

Prove me wrong, the liberals were always soft on perverts. That is why you go to jail longer for abusing a dog then a child.
