CPC Facebook page encourages assassination of PM

[TimG]

As evidenced by the length of time his views were left to stand.

Innuendo based on the assumption that someone with the power to delete the post was even aware of it prior to the media attention.

[TimG]

You're a liar. Full stop.

Nothing I said was a lie. Read carefully. I simply made the logical leap from the BLM preaching hatred of cops and the actions of racist gunman at a BLM event. It is no different between the leap of logic you are attempting to make between a single FB post and the conservatives. If you repudiate your attempt to use the actions of a lone internet troll to slander conservatives then I can agree the BLM shooter had nothing to do with BLM. If you refuse then what I say is about the Dallas shooter is 100% true based on the standards that you have set. Edited August 27, 2016 by TimG

Show me where I did that. Not only are you lying about BLM, but now you're lying about my posts. My exact words were, "you sure don't seem to give a toss about their lackadaisical approach to condemning calls for assassination" and you don't. You don't see it as a problem.

You have set up a strawman in order to trash the CPC. The normal approach for dealing with trolls is to quietly delete their posts. Everyone understands that trolls exist and they don't represent the views of the owners of the site where they occupied virtual real estate for some period of time. However, in this case, because of poor processes or incompetence a troll's post was reported in the media before it could be deleted. And you want to use this delay as an excuse to imply that the CPC condones the views of the troll - an implication which conservatives find as offensive as you find the suggestion that the Dallas shooter was acting because of BLM.

If the CPC is pleading its poor processes and incompetence are to blame they should say so directly.

Unless they still think leaving it up to loyal partisans to speak for the party is a good idea.

The only purpose that would serve is keep the non-story in the news for a couple more cycles. No non-partisan believes being slow to delete a troll post on a FB site means you condone the post.

You're a liar. Full stop. The leadership of BLM denounced the shootings as soon as they happened. The movement is about ending violence and always has been.

Why would the views of the leadership preclude violent action by someone else who identified with the movement? I mean, it happens with religious people all the time.

It was a stupid move leaving that crap up.

I loathe kathleen wynne but would never call for her death. Violent or otherwise.

Two reasons.

1. It is just wrong. We live in a democracy and we may disagree with an election decision but it beats any other forms of government.

2. It doesn't do any good. It turns them into martyrs and any batshit crazy idea that was said out loud will be implemented.

It was a sore loser move to leave that up on site and will cost the conservative party more then would be gained

Rich conservatives (bosses) in Canada and the US have been inciting hatred among precarious private sector working class white people for a couple of decades now.

Wind 'em up and point 'em ...

...but are not nearly as good at it as labour union bosses and "progressives". Watch out..."white people".

"Far-right" must be one of the biggest misnomers in politics.

[eyeball]

Not-far-enough-right is more accurate. The right is a direction not a place.

[poochy]

First you would have to prove that the comments were purposefully left on the page, and endorsed by it's owners, seems no one can, and they were removed, so where's the story?

Was it a cpc official that made the comments? Do they directly represent the party somehow? Or was this another in a huge line of internet idiots making a stupid comment? O it's its quite close to a 100% chance that it's the later.

So now you have an idiotic comment that was rightfully removed from a cpc website made by someone in no official capacity. Of course to liberals the comment should somehow have been removed as it was being typed, maybe even before then, because there is absolutely no real world reason why it could simply have been missed or took some time to get it removed once it was made known. You see, here in the real world, everything always happens instantly.

Personally i think death threats should be prosecuted, no matter where they appear, or who makes them, there would be a lot more loony lefties with a record right now if that was the case. While protecting Harper, that might have also had a trickle down effect to all of the idiots here and elsewhere who spent the previous decade calling our last PM Hitler.

So, this is a nothing story really, an idiot said something, it was fixed, if only all social media commentary sites could be so lucky.

Is hoping for someones death the same as threatening them? Nah, a close second maybe

This one maybe?

How about this?

https://twitter.com/smccreary/status/769994531416731648

There are more examples of course, anyway, with that, if you had you sense of self preservation you would stop posting about this nonsense, all sides do it, and as the examples show, it isn't always caught, and in Harper's case it was rampant, how many of you tried to stop it?

Conservatives are all murderers, and the CPC wants Trudeau assassinated. Do you lefties ever listen to your mindless rantings at all?

Who actually said that?

No non-partisan believes a major political party's FB page is just another random no-account mug in the crowd.

And it was the poster who was condoned.

The CBC has shown their true colours with that harper in the closet comedian. CBC and the comedian are the true cowards in that. It was disgusting what they did.

Well comedians do make fun of politicians. I've already seen JT get some ridicule from Rick Mercer. But anyway, I agree it's generally a low-blow given he was only doing what his security had instructed him to do.

[Smallc]

Same comedian (Mark Critch) randomly posed shirtless behind Trudeau at signal hill. He's a funny guy. People need to lighten up.

I guess even with your far superior reading comprehension skills you missed the title of the post.

Completely inappropriate. I don't know anyone who would be in favour of this particular group's poster. Of course, if this appeared on any party's website, it would have been removed and denounced immediately. Not so for the CPC Facebook page.
