What's clear to me, is that the spin doctors and control freaks are clearly in control of the NDP these days. They want to make sure that the NDP is "on message" and that nothing potentially "embarrassing" happens.
But we're now in the internet era and the party apparatchiks clearly don't "get it". What would have probably been a "non event" has become an embarassment for the party brass. It looks good on these control freaks.
You're giving this issue way too much credit. The only place where anyone seems to care about what happened to Dana Larsen is among about half a dozen people who post on babble. In the real world, the so-called "spin doctors and control freeaks (sic.)" did the right thing. The mainstream media ignored Dana Larsen and there were no embarrassing news stories about the NDP having serious resolutions calling for the legalization of all drugs. The system worked and they all feel vindicated.
If you think being "on message" all the time is a bad thing, try the alternative and see how far you get when you keep going "off message". That's how you lose support and lose elections - by going off message all the time.
