Sue This! Free leftdog! Apologize to Mr Taylor!

Listen Green Party of Canada, back of your legal threats against poor bloggers reporting on gaffes that your leader makes. It makes you seem pathetic. Free leftdog!.

Look, a national party with too much money wishes to bully the citizen journalists. Why not just issue a clarification on what she supposedly meant instead?

I have listened to the clip from TVO many times, she says "All the other politicians are scared to death to mention the word tax, and they think Canadians are stupid, and cannot, and I fundamentally agree with that assessment...". I hope that I didn't have any transcription errors, in case you don't believe me, the source is here. The quote is at 38:32 - 39:01 in the MP3.

Draw your own conclusions

"It’s an attempt by the Conservatives through a front website to attack the credibility of Elizabeth May," Green spokesperson John Bennett told The Tyee. "They took what she said, cut it up, then put it back together."

But the man who made the video, Conservative political activist Stephen Taylor, denied doctoring the tape.

"I produced the video," Taylor told The Tyee in an e-mail. "The audio is taken unedited from an episode of TVO's The Agenda."

“You can go to TVO website, you can compare the time frames," Taylor said in a telephone interview. "The audio is undoctored."

Green spokesman Bennett insisted the tape was spliced, and threatened legal action.

"Stephen Taylor is a surrogate for the Conservative Party," Bennett told The Tyee. "We're considering legal action. TVO is considering legal action as well."

Wait a minute? Since Stephen Taylor has taken credit for this, provided source material, and everything else isn't Mr John Bennett pushing the envelop in slander here? Isn't he basically calling Stephen Taylor a liar and a Conservative party operative?

Stephen Taylor as a noted blogger, and a Fellow at Manning Centre for Building Democracy has basically been slandered by Mr John Bennett. Perhaps Stephen Taylor should consider legal action.

We're better off with Harper.
