PARODY: Does the Tory attack ad go too far?

[lZStarcraft]

lol idiots this obviously isnt real

[TheMotionMan112]

CANADIANS DONT SOUND LIKE THAT

they actually sound quite similar to americans if you took the time to find out

[boywhogames]

Prolly the zombies...

[RedroomStudios]

"whose wife's name has three Z's" - hilarious!

[KenGS333]

Getting tired of Conservative gutter politics. These morons have adopted the American way of doing things when it comes to campaign ads. Enough! I wish we could go back to the pre-Reform Party era when Liberals and PCs were two moderate centrist parties with slight left and right leanings.

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

I think it's funny that his wife with the three Z's can't even vote for her own husband. She can't vote at all! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[123Alayne]

This is disgusting!

[AspiringPotato]

He said one of those quotes "praising america too much" 5 days after 9/11... I think the Conservatives can let that one slide...

[TheDailyTimmy]

MICHAEL IGNATIEFF HE OBIOUSLY DIDNT COME BACK FOR YOU!!!! lol i get week actaully watching the real attack ads

[mightymissk]

Mike Fastener is a liar. I am a recovered alcoholic. I can spot a drunk person at 50 paces on a real dark night. MIcheal Moore has never appeared to be drunk in public.That 's slander--which is all the Tories have. No real arguments. Just Fastener, crouched in front of his computer, calling a brave film maker a drunk, or telling people that Mr Ignatieff is an American or attacking the man's family, sneering at his Russian heritage. These same dirtbags were found in contempt of our parliament.

[mightymissk]

@v9vREBORN Yes you were attacking my right to freedom of speech. You have also implied that I have abused some online protocols. I've left comments & engaged in debate. Which as far as I can see, everybody else is doing. It seems entirely appropriate. And I don't use the filthy language that you use routinely. Instead of explaining why you disagree with my point of view, you insulted my MOM, for God's sakes. You can foam at the mouth, Tory, but I will keep up the good fight against Harper.

[mikefastener]

@mightymissk I just don't want another Separatist-Socialist Coalition like the one Iffy promised he would not do in the election and then signed on only to 6 weeks later! (Separatist Senators were a definite possibility with Iggy's well known lust for power.)

Only way to stop Separatists from running the country appears to be to give Mr. Harper a majority to save Canada.

Sounds right to me!

(Need a Conservative lawn sign?)

[shock80ey]

@mikefastener Does anyone seriously believe separatists are going to run the country? Why do I feel insulted everytime a con fanboy says anything political? Why cant the cons at least humour people instead of throwing silly nonsense around and passing it off as legit political arguments.

[mikefastener]

@shock80ey Love it that, finally, old Iggy-boy was called out by Peter Mansbridge and forced to admit to his little coalition scheme with the socialists and separatists. I know lie-beral supports keep wanting to stop talk of this over-ruling of Cdn voters; but, it must be talked about. Why do lie-berals always want to hide things?

You "feel insulted". I sure you feel more insulted when someone calls you a liberal supporter! (I know I would!)

Hope I educated you.

[shock80ey]

@mikefastener I am not a liberal supporter. No you didn't educate me.

[mikefastener]

@shock80ey That is okay! From what I can understand, you can always tell a lie-beral supporter--you just can't tell them much!

Hope I helped you in this exchange!

[shock80ey]

@mikefastener No you have not helped me in this exchange, at all. Do you actually want to help me or are you being condasending?

[mikefastener]

@shock80ey Certainly you must feel good that Mansfield was finally able to get Iggy to come clean and admit his willingness to work with the separatists to undo the people's choice after the election. (Remember your doubts of such a coalition based on Iggy's frequent denials?) While it did turn out that you were wrong, it was best for the country and voters to know of Iggy's little scheme.

Certainly this must have helped you! Agreed?

[shock80ey]

@mikefastener Ooh I see what you're saying. To take one from stephen harper: let me be clear I never said Iggy did not want a coalition I said does anyone believe speratists are going to run the country. Even if there is a coalition (which wont be as bad as people say it will be even though I dont think a coalition formed in this manner has the canadian peoples intention at heart, although I hope it would)the seperatists would still not be running the country.

[mikefastener]

@shock80ey With Iggy's and Layton's well know lust for power, the separatists will certainly be virtually running the country.

[shock80ey]

@mikefastener WELL KNOWN lust for power? That is to say it is comman knowledge. Im not an idiot sir, give me three sources (each a seperate situation) for each candidate (Layton and Iggy) that demonstrates this lust for power and I will vote conservative.

In my opinion, again in my opinion Stephen Harper is a megalomaniac.

[mikefastener]

@shock80ey My goodness, my silly friend...just a view of Iggy's and Layton's behaviour during that Separatist-Socialist Coalition (where they tried to undo a very recent election) says it all!

I am sure everyone is pleased with your upcoming vote for Mr. Harper!

Thank you.

(From all Canadians.)

[mightymissk]

@v9vREBORN I have as much right to speak out and to talk to others about politics on these pages as you do. Its called freedom of speech. You can use insults and verbal violence--but it will not stop me from participating, online, in this election.

[mightymissk]

@v9vREBORN My Mom could take you in a political debate & you wouldn't know what hit you. And thank you for complimenting me! I am nowhere near as brave as Micheal Moore, but he is a hero of mine. He applies reason & logic to public issues. I know that's unusual these days--because to do so is to be viciously attacked by illiterate trolls like yourself--trolls--as in your case--who can't even be bothered to vote. Lastly what do 911 conspiracies have to do with this? Just threw that in, did you?

[mikefastener]

@mightymissk Michael Moore has only one cause....Michael Moore. His lies and slander are the dirt of the left-wing (where we all know, the bar is pretty low).

Why does he always appear drunk in every interview---does he have another problem? (Besides being a left-winger, wingnut?)

Just wondering....

[mightymissk]

Has anybody else noticed the latest conservative line of attack? Its a personal attack on Mr Ignatieff's background. Now, instead of the lie being that Ignatieff is American--now they attack him because his grandparents are from Russia. The Tory trolls have no platform, no real arguments. So they use personal attacks. Over and over. THEY ARE COUNTING ON US BEING STUPID. They appeal to base emotions,  to venality and contempt. Note Mike Fastener's posts. Note the use of repetitive slander.

[mikefastener]

@mightymissk Looks like unmighty is getting a lesson in debating. (Missy--uses the same, old tired Iffy phrases to try to demonize Mr. Harper but it is not working--try some new material.)

But I do agree with the others here....."Better a hockey dad than a Russian Count!"

What do you think?

[mikefastener]

@v9vREBORN ????????

[mightymissk]

@v9vREBORN Democracy is messy. Question period is a melee. I know this isn't politically correct-- but its supposed to be. Amid a free exchange of ideas, sometimes MPs yell. And all politicians are not evil, which you clearly believe to be the case. In fact they are markedly different. The conservatives are not just "iffy" they are a threat to our country. They will bankrupt & divide us. We lose democracy when we don't use it. Your cynicism don't impress me. And you have a dirty mouth.

[robinamsa]

And his foreign-looking wife whose name has 3 Zs? lmao

[quintin4fabregas]

He sucks he didn't cum 4 us

[Ian7570]

@thepopper1000 Can you be Prime Minister when you weren't born in Canada? It was a joke anyways.

[abacus19828]

this is hilarious.

THREE Z's?! HOW DARE SHE?

[qim1]

Love it Iggy is the worst thing to hit these shores(again) since the PC movement

[SynS7ven]

and why wouldnt they use a canadian voice... the accent just comes across as pompous...

[Ian7570]

@SynS7ven I thought the Conservatives were trying to imitate Ignatieff's voice in this commercial. He's a foreigner isn't he?

[SynS7ven]

wow... not cool at all... im not an iggy supporter, but this is too much... attacking his wife over her name??? reminds me of the barack hussien obama garbage...

[TheProvinceOnline]

@SynS7ven Just to clarify: It's a parody of the Conservative attack ad. We're not actually attacking his wife over her name.

[Ian7570]

@TheProvinceOnline Of course you're not. I know it's an attack ad by the Conservative party not the Province Online. I just find it disgusting that they would make fun of his wife's name is all. And WTF...zombies? The Conservatives have really gone too far this time.

[SynS7ven]

@TheProvinceOnline yeah i saw that afterwards... my bad, sorry... i get it now... just a lil slow on the take :)

[Ian7570]

@SynS7ven I agree totally. I was going to vote Conservative but making fun of his wife's name is going too far. Booooo Conservatives.

[TheProvinceOnline]

@Ian7570 To clarify: this is a parody, not the actual attack ad. The Conservatives did not make fun of his wife's name.

[GarrettTheCanadian]

@TheProvinceOnline lol some people just dont understand a joke eh? :P its a good parody, i havnt seen one ad promoting the Torys, only bashign the Liberals.

[RedroomStudios]

@TheProvinceOnline wow, some people are so stupid to not realize this is a parody!  To those not paying attention, The Cons actually attacked the fact that Iggy's wife is not a Canadian citizen. As it turns out she is in the long slow process of getting her citizenship, waiting in line with thousands of others. If anything Iggy should be praised for not using his position to fast track her application.

[mikefastener]

@Ian7570 I also agree. I was going to vote liberal until I heard of this coalition that Iggy has been planning.

I DON'T want Separatists running my country. (I know Iggy has been out of Canada for 39 years and does not know Canadians--but that is NOT an excuse.)

Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

[1michelemichele1]

@mikefastener Tap. That's exactly the same boogeymonster Harper used when he prorogued parliament, remember? And finally (finally!), it's coming out that Mr. Harper had no problem making an coalition back in 2004, when Paul Marin was PM, the articles are all over the media (if you don't trust the Globe & Mail or CBC, google the Winnipeg Free Press). Folks like you make me wish YT was better suited to real discussions, I'd have so many links for you to check out :(

[mikefastener]

@1michelemichele1 My sad friend...your facts are indeed wrong.  Mr. Harper did not form a coalition with the Separatists like Dion and Iggy did. No coalition ever occurred with Mr. Harper; yet, I did see a little coalition press conference with Dion/Layton/ and that separatist guy. I am afraid of what an American like Iffy will do--he does not understand Cdns like me since he has been gone, what? 39 years!

Hope Mr. Harper wins a majority.

[1michelemichele1]

@mikefastener ...and because I really hate pushing people to one or the other party: vote A(nything) B(ut) C(onservative). There are so many good things to consider along with Mr. Harper's record. The NDP are talking about capping credit card interest rates, Liberals have a fantastic idea for an education fund for students who do well (instead of billion dollar prisons), and both are talking about care for elderly. I dunno what the Greens are up to.

[mikefastener]

@1michelemichele1 Very afraid of Iffy and the liberals. They have promised many things before (remember they promised no coalition during the election and what happened only 4 weeks later?).

I agree with you....the NDP and Jack Layton are certainly a better choice than the liberals.

[mikefastener]

@1michelemichele1 "lie-berals have a fantastic idea for ....education"....remember, lie-berals never fulfill their promises so I don't really put much stock in them.

"instead of billion dollar prisons"...I don't think a student killed (by a criminal that should have been in prison) will appreciate Iffy's educational plan! Let us get the "bread and butter issues" right first and "truth in sentencing" sounds like a good place to start.

Agreed?

[spiritfilled111]

@Ian7570 haha, u liar. u were never conservative



[Mk1rceme]

@SynS7ven ahh...she's ugly anyways...who cares.

[mightymissk]

@SynS7ven ITS A PARODY KIDDO. Of REAL Harper Government attack ADs. The Tories WILL USE ANY ARGUMENT NO MATTER HOW LOW OR BIGOTED to persuade Canadians to vote for them. Especially overworked, stressed out Canadians who don't pay alot of attention to politics. Harper took us from a 15 billion dollar SURPLUS to a 56 billion dollar DEFICIT in 4 years. But he's hoping we can be distracted from that reality-by personal attacks on Mr Ignatieff's patriotism because he worked in the States for years.

[mightymissk]

@mightymissk And by the way, I'm not saying this as a Liberal. I'm voting for the candidate in my riding who has the best chance of keeping Harper from getting a majority. And I urge you & everybody else who cares about Canada to do the same. And--I don't know about you--but I am continually dismayed that the Liberals & the NDP don't just run off & get married. Come back as THE NEW LIBERALS. Then we would really represent the majority of Canadians. Then we could kick Tory ass. Have a good one.

[1michelemichele1]

@mightymissk We made the Australian Papers (damnit, can't post URLs: canada-watches-its-democracy-e­rode/story-e6frg6ux-1226030310­248)

[mightymissk]

@1michelemichele1 I know. Harper is coming at us like a freight train. A full blown fascist who hates Canada, who once stood up in front of an American audience & called Canada "a second rate socialist country." What will it take to wake people up? I fear by the time most Canadians realize the danger, it will be too late. We'll be TEXAS NORTH, an impoverished police state. Every day I try to do something. Write a letter, talk to the neighbors, slap idiots who say "All politicians are the same."

[mightymissk]

@mightymissk No, I'm only kidding. But I WANT to slap people who say all politicians are the same. They're not. That's just intellectual laziness. As citizens we have a responsibility to stay informed. Look at the courageous people of Egypt for God's sakes. Facing down tanks for democracy. Risking their lives. And here people whine and cry and bitch if they are asked to get off their asses and walk down the street to a polling booth. But bless your heart for giving a damn. Have a good one.

[mikefastener]

@mightymissk I agree! This American, Iffy, doesn't understand Canada (having been gone 42 years). Layton is a clown who wants to spend, spend, spend. Mr. Harper is praised by world leaders for his handling of the economy.

I believe Canadians want a proven commodity.

As I am hearing more and more, "Better a hockey dad than a Russian Count!"

What do you think?

[TheLakehawk]

@SynS7ven look up the word "parody" because you are horribly misunderstanding the video
