Rebecca Finch must resign

Rebecca Finch, Liberal candidate in Dufferin-Caledon will look at raising the GST when the economic times are "right".

Ms. Finch, that would be when hell freezes over.

In March 2008, the Tories allege, Ms. Finch compared Mr. Harper to Adolf Hitler. “Let's start with the really nasty stuff, though, the stuff that conjures up comparisons to Hitler or Stalin,” reads a post on the metaball.ca website written by Ms. Finch. “Let's talk about a damaged psychology, a malevolent personality disorder, and lessons that we, the discerning public who are ultimately affected by these characters, should have already learned.”


Nice.

Tories also allege Ms. Finch dismissed the suffering of victims of natural disasters who voted for right-wing parties: “These are echoes of my impassioned heart breaking when I say perhaps we should feel little sympathy for those right-voting victims of recent natural disasters, for those who have ignored instinct and common sense so they can continue to stuff themselves with superficial gluttony,” reads another post by Ms. Finch on metaball.ca.

How progressive of you.

Ms. Finch, you must resign. That lack of caring for fellow human beings is disgusting, your comparison of Mr. Harper to Hitler is beyond the pale. You must apologize and resign right away.

Cold cuts or Hitler? Gee, I can't figure out which is worse. Let's ignore those people affected by disaster, they are right wing and hence are worse then pond scum. How progressive.

We're better off with Harper.

We must ignore all gaffes by grits. It is MSM policy.

You write like these are separate blog posts. Finch's magazine editorials are long essays - you quote this out of context and as long as you only quote from the paper and not the magazine itself, at metaball.ca, it seems your attempt at intelligent debate is at a standstill.

anonymous -- Do you mean to say that there is a context in which either of these quotes would be appropriate coming from someone aspiring to become an MP?

Canadi-anna, having read the essays, I would say yes. Have you read the essays in their entirety? I suggest you do. It is just the sort of person I would like to aspire to be an MP. Honesty, forthrightness, researched information, this is what we need in Parliament. You notice the Tories did not report on her essays or thesis, only on selective out of context quotes. Here someone gave a thesis to be debated, and again the Tories sank to smears. I would think they'd read the whole thing, so why out of 40 or so articles were they only able to find a few floating quotes? Because the writing is actually good, that's why.

the shoe must hurt on the other foot there anonymous... isn't that SOP for the MSM and left based media...

Let us stop talking about these 'gaffes' already. Are we really that sensitive? Why do we let these things distract us from actual issues? I'd be willing to bet, if it could somehow be proven, that the Conservatives are gaffing on purpose to create a smokescreen. After all, why talk about how the Conservatives should be held responsible for the Listeria incident when there's a joke about cold-cuts just waiting to be parsed?

noamzs, I am being tongue in cheek here, I didn't put a /sarcasm on this one like I did for some of the other ones.

I am sick of the Liberals, MSM going crazy over these things.

We get want politicians to be human and speak their mind, but watch out if you don't agree with them.

If you are a victim of crime and want to see fair and reasonable punishment then yes.
>..in jail.
What do you mean by this?

Oh noes an anti-american comment from a lefty, who would have thunk it.

Break election laws? That's not proven at all. Same with the Cadman affair, two smears. Getting desperate?

I love that this post is originally a desperate and unfounded smear of Liberal Rebecca Finch, yet the anonymouscoward on here takes scandals that are being investigated by Parliamentary committees and accusing anyone who brings those up as being desperate. The hypocrisy of the partisan right should never be underestimated.
