I'm listening on CBC radio how the conservatives are trying to undercut other parties by apppointing representatives in opposition MP ridings and encouraging people to go to them instead of their elected MPs. Nathan Cullen in Skeena-Bulkly Valley is fighting this right now.

I'll say it again, Harper is a friggin Nazi. Like Hitler he's trying to turn a weak minority government into total power. Hitler only had 33% of the vote when he came to power and by manipulating things behind the scenes he soon destroyed democracy in Germany and assumed complete control, Sound familiar?

33% can win an election when the rest of the votes are split between two or three other parties and a host of fringes.

Can the Brown Shirts be far behind.

Except they'll be wearing business suits and have $200 haircuts.

Mussolini just had the misfortune in choosing the wrong side in a war that was becoming too large to stay within Europe. Italy had a long history of playing one nation off against another as it tried to get its stolen land back. So my wife tells me.

Mussolini picked his pony by going into Ethiopia well before Hitler started marching on anything.

Does anyone have a link to a legitimate source that can be referenced regarding this type of activity on the part of the Harper government? I'm very interested.

Well, there was also the manual on how to stall committees, but I never got my hands on that one. You don't have to look very far to see the lengths they are going to subvert the way our democracy conventionally worked.

Toro, next time add some actual opinion on the issue rather than sit taking shots at the posters. You are soon becoming no better than a troll.

Its a hysterical over-reaction to an election ploy. The Tories are trying to raise their profile in ridings they don't have a sitting MP.

Sorry I had to explain it to you. I didn't realize you had such tender sensibilities when you are being so self-righteously indignant at the word "hysteria" when others are tossing around the terms "fascist," "Nazi" and "Hitler." No doubt you wouldn't get particularly upset when describing "Taliban" Jack as a "communist."

No, you didn't have to explain it to me. You simply had to explain yourself. Now what is so self-righteously indignant is believing that you can toss out such an open ended comment of provocation to others here and expect them to pull out some deeper meaningful value out of it.

However if that how these forums for dialogue are suppose to work than I can really see the "apathy meter towards democratic principles" shooting past the needle.

Now go figure out for yourself then how that comment is suppose to be interpreted.

Oh, you're right, describing the designation of a representative of a party in a riding in which you don't have an MP as "fascist" and characteristic of the "Nazis" is not a hysterical over-reaction. Its perfectly rational and completely accurate within a historical context.



Now go self-righteously nag someone else.

And 11, when you're door knocking for the "communist" NDP in the next election, tell voters that Harper is a Nazi.

Please.

And make sure you let them know exactly who you support.

Oh Gawd! Another of those neanderthal rabid rights who liken anything remotely socialist in nature to communism. Pu-leeze, the cold war is over - for now....

Oh self righteous one, I have not defended anybody here on saying anything of the sort. Go quote me where I have or shut it with implying such an accusation on me.

You're right. Using donations to set themselves up as their own lobby group certainly WILL raise their profile in ridings they don't have a sitting MP.

Its an abuse of power. If that's what they're doing, of course. Depends on the service.

Sorry I had to explain it to you.
