THIS is real anti-Harperism

[gerryhatrick]

I freely admit that I am not happy with the Harper government. I do not think they take some issues seriously enough and that they are ideologically opposed to doing so. Assuch, I will post MSM articles that I run accross that expose a weakness or fault in the Government.

The cry and hue is "you HATE Harper!! and you HATE the CPC! and you HATE..."

This is absolute nonsense perhaps explained in that people who love something will always see hate in any critisism of what they love.

As a contrast to the main stream print media articles that I post, I offer up some articles that are anti-Harper and more deserving of the outrage than stuff by AP, CanWest, CP...ect.

Harper's pride tied to military muscle

It was not until recently that Harper revealed his disdain for Canada's three decades of peacekeeping.

September 28, 2006

It is alarming for many Canadians to watch Stephen Harper, the head of a minority government with the support of fewer than 40 per cent of citizens, turn Canada into a nation of war. But that is what is happening.

Will Harper back an Iran strike?

Americans never take easily to foreign wars. It almost always takes a convincing package of lies to get them onboard.

While Canadians agonize over the quagmire in Afghanistan, few people are looking at what the Harper government will do if George Bush finds a rationale for military action against Iran. That he wants to do so is clear; that he needs to do so is driven by the polls, which show the Republicans are in danger of losing control of the Congress in the November elections. The war president needs another war.

To the Freaky Relationship Between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush

Hello,

I’m glad that you allowed Harper to give George a belt buckle for his birthday.

However, I’m not glad that you also allowed George to call Stephen ‘Steve.’

That’s not cool.

Sincerely,

Fergis T. McGillicuddy

Don't see Gerry objecting to the contents of the article.

Seems like a vain ploy to spread his hate for Harper...

You are confused again Ricki. I explicitely said these articles were "anti-Harperism". That strongly implies that I see them as not credible.

Why can you not see past your nose when it comes to this continuous rant against me of hating Stephen Harper?

100% of Democrat's watch CNN, in a related study 100% of Republican's watch Foxnews. Which station is unbiased, the answer is neither.

GH, you sound alot like a Liberal spin doctor. I even think you have a position with the Liberal party thats above the consitutency arena.

I love the title of the next article "How the west destroyed Afghanistan". Destroy what, some country with an unemployment rate of 78%. Really how much more could we destroy, and I guess that we should be ashamed of ourselves for taking those progressive, liberal, open minded rulers Afghanistan had before the west went in there and destroyed the, economy, liberty, and social progress of the nation known as Afghanistan.

"Implication" aside, how about actually criticisms of the articles. You have posted twice now and not *actually* said anything about them....

I'll leave that to you. They're not really to be taken seriously.

He's what you call a 'grass-rooter'. Volunteers who are suckered in to spending their time circulating talking points issued by the party in order to try and start 'grassroot' movements with propaganda.

It's a new thing but you better get used to it because it's only going to increase. Eventually it will ruin all forums.

Exactly. They were posted to continue spreading your hatred for Harper. I called you on it. You have no support for what you did so you laugh it off.

Ironically you are the one who provides the support. Continuously you chase me around this forum and harass me for my "hate" or Harper. Each time I post a NEWS article that you don't like you accuse me of hating Harper or of being anti-Harper. Ergo, the reason for demonstrating some actual anti-Harper material.

Critisize it all you want. Spend hours examining it, I don't care. Or rather, I don't give a flying....you know what! But don't pretend I support or stand behind it. Don't waste our time with that BS.

I haven't even read past the first paragraph of any of it!

Nice try? In what way? What was I trying?

[Ricki Bobbi]

Nice try? In what way? What was I trying?

To continue to spread your hatrred for our Prime Minister. Under the pathetic ruse of showing 'real' anti-Harperism without any criticism of what you provided!

Well, I didn't follow the links, but the sections you quoted don't seem at all 'anti-Harper' beyond being opposed to his policies.

I wouldn't want to suggest you're full of it, so perhaps you can elucidate what exactly you felt was anti-Harper about them.

This is comparable to Archie Bunker telling George Jefferson that he's not a racist, and reading George some skinhead tracts and Stormfront recruiting literature to demonstrate that his own views are quite balanced.

You think CNN is PRO-democrat????

Why do they give the Bush administration such an easy ride then?

CNN isn't really pro-Democratic, it's just that FOX is so blatantly pro-Republican people think there has to be a counter-balance.

Kinda like the lefties here who call CTV pro-Conservative just because CBC is so blatantly pro-leftist...

Perhaps if you didn't go on continuously about anti-Harperism whenever mainstream news is posted it wouldn't be necessary for me to demonstrate actual anti-Harperism for you.

No flaming Ricki. Accusing people of being anti-Harper or Harper-haters is flaming. Apparently the rules don't apply to you here though.

[Figleaf]

But where was the anti-Harper part?

The articles? Well I'll agree to that....slanted articles written by what look like slanted journalists...so of course, why should they be taken seriously?

Fake or contrived 'grassroots campaigns actually have a name.

They are called "Astroturf" campaigns...

Just an FYI
