Ignatieff in all his glory

[garrhook]

Iggy looks a bit like Frankenstein

[VeryHugeAss]

Michael Ignatieff BA, MA, PHD - you forgot complete arsehole.

[SPS148669]

Liberals got there asses kicked big time this election because it was not only Ukrainians they offended but also called the Native Canadians "Featherheads" and claimed an NDP rival of Native descent would not win just because he was Native (He did win that riding though). Liberals turned into a party of bigots, the last 4 years.

[mvems]

The tone of this video and the Harper supporters who are jumping on board make me think of the Tea Party in the U.S. It is the same mindless nonsense and barking dog mentality. Any thoughtful voter will ignore this stuff and choose a leader who will make decisions based on reality, not ideology of the Right or the Left.

[VoiceOfModeration]

Anyone who supports abortion being tax-payer funded (in our country OR overseas) doesn't believe in freedom and doesn't believe in respect for tax-payer money! We already have one spokesman for communism in Ottawa, we don't need another. Ignatieff: You are a joke, you smarmy racist Hillary Clinton lap-dog! You don't have a shot in hell! Just leave our country!!!!

[noobler9]

and thinks romania is all gypsies

the person themself says gypsies tend to steal a lot and so on too

so really? I'm not surprised by his remarks about their attitudes about jews when even THEY start admitting it

[noobler9]

much of the old iron curtain area has a terrible attitude it appears, but economically the soviet union did a lot for it's nation states, that's why georgia invaded south ossetia and they liked it when russia came forward, god I hope it's south ossetia I get the names confused at times

so yea...

but to be honest, it's not hard to think something is genetic when it's SO widespread it's ridiculous

I talked with someone from romania, the entire area thinks gypsies are scum, and thinks romania...

[DeeDee21498]

Good job! 

[sniperdude12a]

wait you're using an air farce skit to criticize Iggy?

[shalylol]

My political views are also shaped by shitty comedy shows. And to the video poster: nationalism is as illogical as it is both funny and pathetic.

[wasteofspace1234]

Iggy is not a Tsar decendant. His great uncle whatever was on the Tsars cabinet.

[truevoiceofsanity]

You realize that as prime minister of Canada his influence of the Ukraine will be zilch.

[dwall57]

wow, this makes me wonder what he thinks about canadian farmers in small towns. would he care about their interests at all?

[truevoiceofsanity]

i would assume he would.

I haven't heard his speeches on ukraine yet.

Most of his academic work has been on Yugoslavia and the complexities of the nationalism there.

[Canadian2009able]

Ignatieff is a "Dead Beat Dad"! Just check out our video for the proof. Canadian media are just ignoring it; have you ever heard 1 word about his kids or what kind of a parent he has been? Nope, that's not for the voters to know about. But we have it here on youtube, whether the media like it or not.

[sergizzleyousuck]

Your stupid whos better Stephen Harper?

[swordofjutice]

YES

[freewheelin19]

doesn't matter either/or does it? this country is still slipping away as we know it.

[justanoldman1]

Stephen Harper is a much better leader that Ignatieff. He was elected by his party to be leader whereas Ignatieff was crowned by the party elite (Chretien).

[ammarios]

@Canadian2009able Who the fuck cares. What next? : "Oh my God, why haven't the media talked about his bowel habits?? Hmmm...of course, the media is biased"... *rolls eyes*

[12stel]

I never understood how he got all his postions , how he's actually considered an intellectual , when every time he opens his mouth, unless it's pre-scripted, he says something dumb and offensive. I read that in England, they used to say that idiot savant is someone who appears to be stupid but is actually very smart - then Michael Ignatieff must be savant idiot.

[12stel]

I don't like Harper but will never vote for Ignatieff, I can't believe that he's actually compared his self-serving 34 yr absence to that of an immigrant who made a choice to come here. Right after the attack ads came out, Ignatieff said that even though he's been away, he IS Canadian, because his father & grandfather served Canada - ha, ha, way to offend 1 & 2 generation Canadians. Michael is more Canadian than you, because his grandfather was important in Canadian government & yours was not!

[MGman800]

Ignatieff is considered a bad joke now in Canada. Please don't take anything he has to say seriously because he is our village idiot.

This guy never worked a day in his life, from school to films and teaching and from there to federal. He does not know what it means to have to work for a living.

He lived through the American way of private healthcare and their policies and ripped off their styles.

These is not what we would call a true Canadian, he is more a fascist and a dumb one at that.

[kmontgo22]

Did you get passed the 12th grade..? or did you end up in the oil sands by age 16?

[MGman800]

"Did you get passed the 12th grade..? or did you end up in the oil sands by age 16?"

Haha nice try, but I'm not a conservative. And I'm into college at the moment, studying for a degree in computer programming.

Also dude, my comment was based on Ignatieff's recent public apperances as well as his background for the time before he returned to Canada (speculation).

I just don't like Ignatieff but I also don't have time to respond to any future comments from you.

[solarcradle]

Mr Ignatieff lived in the US for 30 years. How many of us know Michael? I'm upset that we have another drone, non-spirited folk running for leadership. At least Stephane Dion put out a few smiles.

[westeightyone]

And Canada's monarch lives in England.

Iggy and Liz live large on the Canadian taxpayer teat.

They both act as if they're doing Canadians a favor when they address them.

Check out Iggy's response to the Conservative 'attack' ads.

Notice how the comment section in that video has blocked off all comments.

Iggy's not talking TO Canadians, he's talking AT Canadians.

The problem is he doesn't know what he's talking about.

He doesn't have the answers because he's not taking questions.

[solarcradle]

Yes.. and so too does Afghanistan, Iraq & other developing nations live on the Canadian taxpayers dime. I have no problem with this in the name of security & prosperity.

Speaking of Liz May, although I would not vote for her as PM, in my opinion, she deserves a voice in the house.

:) I did notice the disabled comments on Ignatieff's response to the conservative ads.

I agree, Ignatieff does talk "AT" Canadians.

Do a youtube search for "Bob Rae on Ignatieff". You will find more goodies! :)

[westeightyone]

I was referring to Queen Elizabeth when I wrote

Iggy and 'Liz'.

The British would say I was being cheeky.

[solarcradle]

Oh boy, I made a mess of that one! I was half awake while reading your post. :)

Understood!

[solarcradle]

With more time to comment... I'm back.

Hugs to the Queen!

Hail to the Coronation party! :P

[denisthemenace13]

probably the best choice for liberals but in comparison to the US political talent pool; he has about as much personality as the Sam the Eagle character on the muppets!

[UkrainianKozak]

hi-thank you for the comment-with the current situation, you are probably right - but as PM, Kennedy is the best choice after Iggy. With Kennedy at the helm, put Trudeau under Kennedy to head Finance. It is clear that Harper is upsetting the French Cds (based on what happened before Christmas with his comments on the Bloc. Why? I think Harper wants to change the position of the Federal Govt so that it does not have to bow down to the French Qc's- w their threats of succession for 30+ yrs.

[gundamWWW]

I like Kennedy as well. He's much for articulate and friendlier in person. Ignatieff has an uphill battle when Harper will pull out the "American" card on him. Ignatieff is going to have to explain himself, especially to rurual voters and people without post secondary education.

[westeightyone]

You should change your Youtube name to goddamndummyWTF.

Michael Ignatieff is going to have just as difficult a time explaining himself to urban voters and people WITH post secondary education.

Canadians living outside the city and Canadians without post secondary education are not the 'fools' that elitist fools like you make them out to be.

[gundamWWW]

Ah I see yet another individual that doesn't care about the loyalty of the nation's leader. No other nation on earth would elect a leader that has been out of the country for 34 years. Don't bring up Barack Obama since he left for a short period of time and was a child so he did not leave of his free will. Apparently Canada wasn't good enough for Ignatieff so he left it to pursue his own dreams just like the hundreds of Canadians that go south of the border.

[westeightyone]

I don't where you got the idea that I think the loyalty of a nation's leader is unimportant, gundam. I attacked you for your attitude towards rural voters and people without post secondary education. I agree with you that Iggnatieff has a lot of explaining to do in regards to his 34 year absence from Canada.

The average Canadian is not letting him off the hook. Urban dwelling Liberal voters with post secondary education are the only ones suggesting that it isn't important.

[westeightyone]

I'm not suggesting that ALL urban dwelling Liberal voters with post secondary education are of the mindset that Iggy's 34 years abroad are unimportant.

That would be unfair to those who have examined the issues and come to their own conclusions.

I'm talking about the self declared 'geniuses' who fall into the trap of automatically believing everything that their 'leader' says without considering their leader's personal self serving reasons for saying it.

[travisharder]

Since when did being educated become a bad thing?

[westeightyone]

Being educated is a great thing.

Being wealthy is a great thing as well.

What a person does with his / her wealth and education points to his / her character.

Lording your wealth and education over your fellow countrymen in the hopes of getting them to vote for you is moronic.

Do I really have to list examples of smart rich bastards who used and abused 'brilliant' people who looked up to them ? The 'uneducated' and 'less than wealthy' are a lot more savvy in Canada than Iggy thinks.

[mikefastener]

Bad thing when you return to a country after 39 years and demand to be PM. The lie-berals need to lose this entitlement trait. Agreed?

[gundamWWW]

Furthermore, I don't like Harper and I hate him, the man disgusts me... But at least he studied here and he cares about this country. He criticized Canada a lot BUT he stayed in Canada to fix it. Ignatieff is no better then Conrad Black, he grew up here to a very very wealthy family, left the country to make a name for himself. When opportunity arises Canada is his "home and native land" once again.

And this is not an attack on new CanadianS.

[gundamWWW]

PEOPLE DON'T CHOSE WHERE THEY ARE BORN... BUT WE CHOOSE WHO WE WANT TO BECOME! Ignatieff has clearly demonstrated that he doesn't care about Canada because not once in his life has he dedicated his service to helping Canadians.

This is what seperates the Barack Obama's (people that help those who have no voice, or power, or status as community organizer)

And the Michael Ignatieff's that just write essays in favour of the Iraq was and coercive interrogation techniques.

I LOVE CANADA!

[westeightyone]

Are you nuts?!

Gerard Kennedy is the best choice after Iggy?!

Justin Trudeau as the head of Finance?!

[gundamWWW]

From my rebuttal to your unwarranted attack it is probably apparent to you I am not just a "dummy" I have thought this issue our FOR MONTHS! I have Identiefied his major flaws. Both Harper and Ignatieff are very weak leaders with huge cracks in the armour.

They are no Barack Obama.

They are both just old rich men, that serve the interest of a select few.

I hope I didn't touch a nerve, if I did...

I'm sorrry.

[JamesRideout123]

@UkrainianKozak Correct.

[kerboplethecamel]

Ignatieff believes in bann on all torture...

[imthatguyyy]

FUCK IGNATIEFF

[johnathansilveira]

What an intelligent statement.

[imthatguyyy]

I could go into an online debate with you about a man who wants to bring torture policys into canada, but I would rather just sum up my feelings about him in two words.

[teejayandrade]

lol good answer. i agree.

[StudentVentures]

Ignatieff wants to ban torture...

[swordofjutice]

I agree, the liberals are so greedy for power they would do and say anything. Just look at how Ignatieff was crowned as leader of the liberals, the party did not even have the right to vote. The liberals are getting worse all lthe time, they forgot about our rights and what is worse, they don't care about us, only power.

[travisharder]

As opposed to Stephen Harper who claims to be against an unelected senate then nominated 18 senators? Or claims to be an economist yet failed to see that we were heading towards a recession and wouldn't spend any stimulus money until it was clear he'd lose his job? Or attacks Iggy for "colluding with socialists" despite the fact that he tried the exact same thing against Paul Martin's Liberals? Not to mention that the NDP is the only reason we haven't had an election.

[mikefastener]

Oh my....you are sooooo funny. Mr Harper wanted to ensure that we didn't get separatist senators (centainly a possiblity during Dion's lust for power). Remember, "power must be earned, not taken!) I'm kinda confused...tell me about the document that Harper signed with the separatists/socialists that Iggy did. Feeling a little sheepish about now my poor silly friend?

[RussianBoxer84]

another facts, why Ukrainians of Canada are russophobes. because they came to canada in ww2 who were fighting for the nazis. so ofcourse they gonna be russophobes, they got ass gangbanged twise. from their own ukrainians and from russians.

[UkrainianKozak]

hi ... it obvious that history is NOT one of your strong points ! Invest some time in reading and become at least somewhat of an intellectual.

[RussianBoxer84]

and u go and try building your self esteem. because it looks that u took an Offense. i said what i know, without no rewritten 100 times history books. i got the information from my grandparents who lived in Ukraine. who actually saw it all happening.

[westeightyone]

Proclaiming yourself 'somewhat of an intellectual',

UkrainianKozak, does NOT make you one.

In your particular case it doesn't make you anything close to an intellectual.

If you're going to suggest that someone else is NOT an 'intellectual' you might want to check your grammar before you post your comment.

How many 'intellectuals' do you know who use

'it' in a sentence where they should be using

' it's ' ?

BTW, just in case you're too 'smart' to catch it,

I'm making fun of you.

[gundamWWW]

At 0:53 the guy looked more like John Kerry.

[RussianBoxer84]

and why u guys talking about ukrainians as a nation. Ukraine was a Province of Russia, they got their first independence only 15 yrs ago.

[UkrainianKozak]

The Ukrainian culture is more than 2000 years older than the Russian one. The Ukrainian culture is over 7500 years old. Ukraine was forced to become a part of the Communist USSR, and never a part of Russia.

[RussianBoxer84]

bahahahaha... 2000 years ehh? ok im not talking to you. ur imagination is too much for me.

do u even know what word UKRAINE means? oldRus Slavic Word that has been changed with time to OKRAINA that means "part of" "shore" in russian we say Zelenovka city is a OKRAINA of Moscow. So ukraine is OKRAINA Of what? brazil??Italy?? lol... i just dropped a proof. and you're a stupid Brainwashed Men.

[euginam91]

@RussianBoxer84 just f.y.i... Russia began from Kievan Rus ... technically Ukraine was the bedrock from which the Russian nation arose and it originated at least some of Russian culture... also Ukraine was never a province of Russia ... it was a republic in the USSR... just like Russia was a republic in the USSR

[Sashkotheweird]

@euginam91Nonsense. Ukraine is Rus' ("Kyivan Rus") but Russia has nothing to do with that.

[RussianBoxer84]

who teh fuck cares bout ukrainians lol.

Ignatieff is a born Canadian Russian Blue blood. his grandfather was a Count and a Minister of Education in tzars Russia.

[UkrainianKozak]

Most of the world has learned to respect Ukraine and Ukrainians ... we were the first to have a bloodless revolution .... where the world took notice, and followed in Ukraine's footsteps under 2 years later in the Middle East when they had their bloodless revolution.

[RussianBoxer84]

ru on crack buddy? half of ukraine is against the Revolution. where are their rights? ur on crack lol.... this is funny. ill show ur comments to my Ukrainian Kievan Friend.

[00Billy]

@UkrainianKozak

I learned to not buy any produce from the Chernobyl region....;-)

[ammarios]

@UkrainianKozak Well, Quebec's Quiet Revolution was a bloodless revolution. WAYYYY back before the Ukraine, in the United Arab Emirates, the first sheikhs of the emirate of Abu Dhabi lead a bloodless revolution that resulted in a bloodless overthrow of government... it's a bit presumptuous to claim "bloodless revolution" as an "invention" for any ONE country. All the bloodless revolutions were a unique result of their own unique and isolated incidents. To say they were "copying" undermines them

[angryjungel]

the fact that Ignatieff is a Ukrainophobe, and is running for a party leadership in a country with an extensive diaspora, is a farce.

What IS funny tho, is that if you type in "ukrainophobe" in google...all the results on first page are about Ignatieff.

[JonathanSwifty]

The funny part is that all Ukrainians are Russophobes. No, scratch that. It's a sad part.

[UkrainianKozak]

Ukrainians are into life and into living and have no time to waist fearing anyone.

[ammarios]

@UkrainianKozak I'm just reading your past comments; your generalized statements regarding people are appalling (regardless of whether they are positive)."Ukranians are into life and living"..how would you know how EVERY SINGLE Ukranian is without generalizing? Also, I'd be hard-pressed to find a country whose people are NOT "into life and living". We are all Earthlings, Terrans, from Earth. Ukranians are not better than everyone else. We are all people. Your views have clearly not elevated you.

[robbydamusicman]

omfg that's funny

I can't believe we hav so many stereotypes

[scorero23]

you antiperogeeite!

[ania13]

HAHAHA! Yes LUBA GOY! REPRESENT GIRL!

IGNATIEFF IS ANTI-UKRAINIAN!!!
