Michael Ignatieff on Charlie Rose - Torture and Iraq

[varscht]

Chopping up and reattaching video clips to deceive, to suit your own political viewpoint, is incredibly despicable. Nobody could possibly learn anything good or bad about Ignatieff by watching this edited crap. The only thing youcan tell by this video is that the person who edited it is an arsehole.

[dirty30jr]

god this guy is a turd

Too bad I have to vote for him to support my best local candidate

[dooalittledippsy]

This guy cant be trusted. He is a very big liar.He helped plan the Iraq war.

[gledalac1979]

Michael Ignatieff is a supremacist racist jew and the most avid supporter of the state of Israel and all the middle eastern wars of recent times. That's not why I despise him though, being Serbian I will never forget his bloodlust and his lies during "nato" war against Serbia that he spewed on canadian media.

Having said, it's really ironic how the mainstream controlled media is portraying him as innocent and spotless man, a pseudo intellectual. Kind of tells me who controlls it

[Freethinker12341]

@gledalac1979 i highly recommend the video: christopher destroys a typical west hating marxist. its a good video for a naive person like yourself. hitchens is one of the most brilliant men of our time. certainly the most brilliant and eloquent writer in my opinion. hitchens himself was a marxist and socialist back in his early days, after 9/11 he departed from the left and now he supports the war in iraq whereas before he was very much against George Bush senior.

[Freethinker12341]

@gledalac1979 if you haven't heard of christopher hitchens he is one of the most outspoken atheist intellectuals and one of the most controversial public intellectuals, you'd be wise to check him out, as he once held your stand point now he's completely in favor of the war and the sate of isreal. isreal jews are FAR less barbaric than the arabs, it would be an extremely dangerous compromise to hand isreal over to them. Judaism is much more peaceful a religion than islam tho equally irrational

@Freethinker12341

2 points...1. C.H. is an Anti-theist not atheist. 2. Can you really blame the Palestinians for using the tactics that the Irgun, and Haganah used to achieve independent statehood? I dont condone the methods..but it worked once....just as barbaric if not more so,....King David hotel Bombing 91 killed...91! thats only one attack in 1946.

Watch the full video on the Charlie Rose web site and you will see how dishonest this edited hack job is.

[cageyT]

You can hear this interview without the edits at the charlierose web site (seems you have to google to get the web address as I can't seem to get the post to work with it spelled out).

The editing here is pure propaganda and distorts everything Ignatieff said.

[sprtn007]

Why is this video edited so much? I'd love to hear his full comments on this as it sounds really interesting. No doubt this guy leans right for a Liberal but that's what's good about the Liberal Party. It can move right and left depending on each situation.

[00Billy]

@sprtn007

I cant stand him....but this piece is still a big hatchet job...

[TSM8088]

Seeing and hearing Ignatieff on the tv every day is torture. Who's going to put a stop to that?

[cawreostyx]

Is this guy really a Canadian? Now I really doubt he could lead Canada. Not that Harper did any good either. Time to look elsewhere for leadership...JMHO

[Oram77]

Iggy sounds like a scum PR man for George Bush and he seems to be portraying himself as an American. Sure Iggy, there was no civil war in Iraq, and the "resistance" in Fallujah was outside fighters. And sure Iggy, millions displaced and hundreds of thousands killed was an improvement on the Saddam dictatorship. Being killed, tortured and raped because of the American occupation rather than the far smaller numbers killed by Saddam's dictatorship in the 1990s - yeah big benefit for Iraqis.

[Oram77]

Iggy sounds like a scum PR man for George Bush. He's either incompentent on the facts or dishonest or both.

[JesusChrist2054]

Michael Ignatieff Canada's and the Liberal Party's biggest Ahole.  The only difference between Michael Ignatieff and a Pail of Cow Dung is the Pail.

[JesusChrist2054]

Michael Ignatieff, I really don't care for the man as I see him as having his own personal agenda to satisfy his own greed for himself and that is to be Prime Minister of Canada which I don't feel he is qualified for. If Michael Ignatieff was such a loyal Canadian why was he gone from Canada from 1978 to 2005.

Michael Ignatieff will not win the election and the Liberal Party if they have any common sense left would ask him to step down and resign after the election as he nothing but trouble.

[morriso1954]

Michael Ignatieff can go F'k himself, hopefully this Ahole will be asked to quit as leader of the Liberal Party once they loose the Federal election as he is F'king just as dumb if not dumber than Stephane Dion.

[fs081209]

Targeted assassination of Terrorist leaders seems better idea then sending low income Canadians to the land where they get targeted to death.

[snrrub]

@fs081209

Canadian military personnel are by no means low-income. And those that are on a tour of duty make even more. Don't fool yourself, the military people want to be there.

[yourvideonomakesense]

So.. whats going on with the editing on this? can we actually see what he is trying to say instead of just random cuts to him saying the word assassination?

not that it should matter but -I've never voted liberal, i'd just like to see what he actually says so i can make my opinons on him based on that and not the way somebody has chosen to depict him through obvious editing

[raynus1]

Amazing insn't it?

3 years ago, Canadian Liberals were spitting venom at anything even remotely American.

Now they have one for a leader.

Liberals would sell their own mothers for power.

[SuperRaymond77]

Exactly... Ignatieff is more of a suck up to the US empire than even Harper.

[neutralizerxx]

He's running for Prime Minister of Canada ?????

Hell, when did you guys get infected by NEOCONs?

[rollsthepaul]

He's making Harper look good!!!!!!!!!!!

What a jerk and dumby. Not my leader.

[BENY0HAMA]

What a douchebag. Ignatieff is awful
