Claim "phone threat" and fully embrace the oppressor

Normally, I would discount any report by the Jewish Tribune because of their extreme right-wing pro-fascist (they support JDL etc.) tendencies.

When reporting Cheri DiNovo's words, however, this excerpt, however obscene it may look, is fully consistent with the toxic venom which she spewed in the legislature - and for which she has never to this date apologized.

Hopefully the report is false. If it isn't, then DiNovo should be condemned wherever she shows her face.

I don't think Pat Martin is bilingual. 

If Cheri DiNovo can be a little bit Jewish and a little bit Israeli, then why can't Pat Martin be Poli-Slavic?

DiNovo flatters herself unduly. She could never understand, let alone be part of, the enlightened and progressive traditions that have characterized the Jewish people through the eras in different parts of the world. Instead, she has chosen to associate herself with the darkest forces of war crimes and crimes against humanity - and continuing to whine and cry publicly about the "death threat" (now it's singular!) that she received.

I hope the police catch the person who threatened her (if, in fact, she isn't making it up). As for DiNovo, she too will face justice some day. I wish her a capable defence counsel.

So Peter Mansbridge says of Pat Martin... but then what would Peter Mansbridge know about straight talk?

In regard to Pat Martin - a dead cat could run for the NDP and win the riding. It really hardly matters what Martin says publicly.

Martin is kind of a fake leftist - lots of rhetoric that is mostly hot air - that does a fine job of discrediting the left. As a supplement, he is a kind of attack dog for the NDP. He reminds me of the old IWA bureaucrats like Jack Munroe I used to know about when I worked in the woods years ago.

Here is an example. When the State of North Dakota decided to dump large quantities of unknown, and likely dangerous, foreign biota into the Red River watershed by draining Devil's Lake into the Cheyenne River (and thence to the Red), Martin was quoted as stating publicly that Manitoba should "cut the power" to North Dakota. The then Premier of Manitoba, now Ambassador Gary Doer, had to do a little damage control and point out that both Manitoba AND Minnesota were negatively affected by this action of North Dakota and that, therefore, Martin's remarks weren't helping at all.

Fake leftist. That's it. Sorry to say, but he'd be a perfect leadership candidate for the NDP because of that.
