betsy Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Last night, right after the debate, Mike Duffy was talking with John Duffy (Libereral strategist) and two other strategists from Conservative and NDP. Mike D asked who's idea was it to make that ad (Military). John D said, "Marin talked of several points in the Debate (enumerated some)....but why do you keep talking about that ad? (Here is where Mike D got ANGRY. I mean, you see his face really red...and was trying to hold his temper since they're live on TV. HE was pointing a finger at John and really blasted him) Mike D: "Why do I keep taliking about it? Why? Because this is all about INTEGRITY, John! This is important information and the people have a right to know! Just a while ago YOU TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME FROM BRINGING THIS UP ON THE SHOW!" (Yes, he clearly said, "INTIMIDATE" me!) Mike D. looked flushed and you could tell, still angry...throughout the rest of the show. At first I thought John D had already walked out....but later, he was still there....but you could tell, John was subdued. It had been commented to before about the attempt to stop the press from bringing up scandal questions, or trying to influence the media. And as I've said before....there is some sort of brewing hostility....and rebellion coming from reporters). I wonder if this incident will come up in the news or be talked about? My God, this is scary.....when a governing party is practicing this kind of censorship....towards the press, especially....wake up, Canada! Quote
betsy Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Posted January 11, 2006 CTV aired the newsclip on Mike Duffy versus John Duffy. It's much worst than I said above. At the end of his statement, Mike Duufy sternly said: "We will not be intimidated as journalists!" Quote
PocketRocket Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Sometimes it's a good idea to see if something is perhaps already being discussed before starting another thread about it. Your concern ties in with the conversation going on here...... http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/index.p...indpost&p=87291 Quote I need another coffee
Shakeyhands Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Betsy, your knowledge of whats going on really surprise me, as does your incredible post count since you joined a few weeks ago. Your committment to the CPC is something else. Anything you'd like to tell us? Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
scribblet Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 CTV aired the newsclip on Mike Duffy versus John Duffy.It's much worst than I said above. At the end of his statement, Mike Duufy sternly said: "We will not be intimidated as journalists!" Good for Mike Duffy we should email him and thank him. Remember, Liberals don't care about outcomes, only votes. If they can point to policies as being anti-crime, no matter how ineffective, or counterproductive, they will. They also like to trumpet anti-crime speeches, even if not accompanied by any action. The fact that Martin says he is against crime is all that matters. He doesn't actually have to do anything to get votes. That is the Liberal way. I notice there are duplicate threads, get confusing.

Your committment to the CPC is something else. Anything you'd like to tell us? This particular post made no mention of the CPC. Quit playing partisan politics on an important issue such as a free press. Quote

Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of time to spend to read everything. Besides, my concern is about the intimidation of the press. Although it is somewhat related to the negative ads, I do not wish for the topic on negative ads to branch to another direction (intimidation of press). Quote
Spike22 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 This was also in today's Ottawa Sun. Incredible but true. Looks like the girly Liberals are pooping in their panties(insert Arnold Schwarzenegger voice). Can you imagine the cahoonah's of the guy. I guess Mike Duffy can at least be counted on for responsible and honest journalism. We owe him a big thank you... Quote
