"When foam at the mouth takes the place of reasonable arguments"

Seems like free speech and reality are banned from the Calgary Observer.

From the blog header:

Calgary Observer
"Politics, Society, Business, Media and much more from a Canadian and progressive point of view. Blogging Tories are allowed to read this blog, but are prohibited from posting comments. Any comments posted by Blogging Tories will be deleted immediately."
(Edit - seems like CO has had a change of heart, at least as far as the header goes - lmao!)

His recent post:
Canadianna's Place wins the Foam-at-the-Mouth Award for this latest rant: Layton and Martin should be hauled in front of a human rights tribunal.

As for the RC, I agree with other progressive bloggers that excommunicating members for voting in favour of SSM in their capacity as MPs is not the right thing to do at all. The church, in effect, mingles church with state business when, by all rights, they should be separate.

If anything, the RC should start excommunicating all those pedophiles in their midst.

That excommunication business involving two NDP MPs was just payback. Gee, and I thought revenge was a sin ... .

My reply - deleted twice.

Excommunication? Now who's foaming at the mouth? Nothing wrong with partisan blogging, but at least make an attempt to get the facts straight.

Nothing like an NDP member being disciplined for voting against the bill, eh?

It's always interesting to see the Liberals and Jack Packers fall back on the old 'demonize' the right message. Difference now is, the party is organized, the grassroots are mobilized and were not going to take it laying down anymore. When a blogger has to distort and outright lie to ramp up the rhetoric, you know they're getting worried.

Keep up the good work everyone!

For Calgary Observers education - Excommunication

PS - Calgary - you're welcome to post here anytime. Unlike some, us Conservatives place value in those pesky little rights like free speech, open debate, accountability etc. You know, all the things the Liberals seem to have dispensed of in the last 13 years.
