That isn’t me saying that.  It’s the media.

Man, what a disgrace this guy is.

It means that we keep working until the very end, until the last vote is cast, relentlessly.

Don’t stop, until the end.

“Kinsella is a P.O.S. professional liar in the pay of the Gliberal Party.
And if his home is ever burglarized not only do I hope that the burglars use his toothbrush as if it were the probe space-aliens use to examine beamed-up hillbillies but at the very least the burglars put sand in his vaseline.”

Column here. If you were to guess comments aren’t moderated, you’d be right!

…I wonder if CFRA asked him about this little hit on the political Billboard charts?

As noted below, I’ve donated what I’ve received from the Sun this week to Egale, to protest the homophobic ad. You can do likewise, here.

On the weekend, PC campaigns started to distribute leaflets that need to be seen to be believed. One was lifted entirely from an advertisement that ran in the Toronto Sun and the National Post. The ad featured a wide-eyed child under the banner: “Please! don’t confuse me.” It falsely suggested that the Ontario sex-ed curriculum taught children how to be “transsexual, transgendered, intersexed or two-spirited.”

To its credit, the Post apologized “unreservedly” for the ad after it ran, saying: “the ad exceeded the bounds of civil discourse” because of its manipulative use of imagery and “in the suggestion that such teaching ‘corrupts’ children.” The Post declared that it would donate the money it received for the ad to a lesbian, gay or transgendered cause.

(I strongly objected to the Sun running a variation of the same ad. Defending the ad as an expression of free speech, to me, is wholly unconvincing. The Sun has frequently refused to run advertising in the past, for all sorts of reasons. Therefore, I too plan to donate what I receive from the Sun this week to an LGBT cause).

Despite the controversy — or perhaps because of it — the contemptible ad was reproduced in its entirety by one PC candidate in Willowdale, complete with a statement indicating that the pamphlet had been officially authorized by the Ontario PC campaign.

They did. The leaflet is homophobic, and is a huge self-inflicted wound.

Oh, and they’re idiots.

UPDATE: Listen to Mark Spiro’s strategic genius at work, right here! And more here!

Ivor Tossell rips Hudak to shreds, here.

Idea for the above from this guy, here.

That’s what one PC is saying on Twitter, after seeing Hudak’s error-filled, disgusting anti-gay leaflet:

I have heard from other Conservatives who do not want to go public – yet. If you feel as Ms. Kent does, please speak out. Or, if you like, contact me confidentially at wkinsella@hotmail.com.

My reference to the “face ad,” below, was deliberate. In 1993, what mattered wasn’t so much what we Liberals had to say about that despicable anti-Chretien ad. What mattered is what partisan Conservatives said – people like Sinclair Stevens, who courageously called me to say that his party had gone too far, and that he wanted to speak out.

Speak out. On Twitter, on Facebook, wherever. This is one of those moments in election campaigns where people are measured by what they did do – and what they didn’t.
