stephane dion is a stupid gay french homo

[VvredknightvV]

Dion is dogsh!t. I don't trust that little bastard. He can't explain greenshift properly, he's changing it all the time so it will smell better to voters, worst of all that prick is using the dollars greenshift will reap to buy votes from farmers and truckers...weren't those tax dollars supposed to be spent on reducing taxes for low inome families. More liberal lies. G@DAMN YOU LIBERALS, I WANT THE 480 BILLION DEFICIT YOU RAN UP PAYED BACK!!!

[kingpants1986]

This video is rubbish. The arguments are false.

[BillysSoloProject]

Wacko

[ECUPIRATES10S]

Dion is not a leader, he has no idea what is going on. Why can he not tell us what his plan is instead of sitting on the fence and bitching? His Liberal government brought us to the desert...think big Dion, think big.

[lkcwu]

"NATO forces". When that is uttered, most people usually have the picture of troops and army and combat in mind. Under that situation, the video's interpretation of Dion wanting to invade Pakistan is not inaccurate.

If Dion wanted, as he claimed, diplomacy and negotiations, he should have used "NATO diplomats" or "NATO negotiators" but neither were used. So all you Liberals out there, before you accuse the video of slander and misrepresentation, please get your facts straight first!

[dbockor]

You must be joking or have you an agenda you're pushing so hard you're willing to disregard reason? Let's see the whole sentence:"If they (the Pakistanis) are not able to deal with it on their own, we could consider that option with NATO forces in order to help Pakistan help us pacify Afghanistan".

So the literal interpretation is that he wants NATO to consider helping Pakistan to close the taliban camps on their side of their border if the Pakistanis are unable to do so by themselves.

[dbockor]

Meanwhile conservatives are desperately trying to portrait this as if Dion wanted some sort of Iraq war v2.0 where NATO forces would barge in Pakistan and clash with both the talibans and the Pakistani's forces (they even put a picture of a nuclear missile to hint that Pakistan could nuke NATO troops). And despite all this you see no misrepresentation or slander here...

[lkcwu]

But that's the point. To help Pakistan, you have to go into Pakistan, and that means (to an extent) troops in Pakistan. Musharraf, although he may be questionable in a variety of issues, is still the leader of a sovereign state. If we go in, we're invading, or at least intervening.

Surely anything of this sort would require Pakistan's consent first. Dion didn't do that, so to an extent, Musharraf's reaction to this (that Dion is asking for an invasion) is understandable.

[lkcwu]

And just to let you know, I'm not a card-carrying member of the Conservative Party, but fair is fair, if Dion is insisting on diplomacy of any sort with Pakistan, he should have used the word "diplomats".

I mean, if an ordinary Joe like me makes the mistake, that's probably forgivable. But he's the leader of the opposition and a learned academic, one of the most educated men to lead a party. It's pretty negligent for him to make a mistake like that.

[lkcwu]

To those who say this video has an "ulterior motive", I agree. But that being said, the video has a point in the fact that Dion really has no clue what he's talking about.

I saw the Mike Duffy Live clip of his speech, and the exact subtitles to his speech in French is "...we will have to look at [Pakistan] with NATO froces..."

[GobHobblin]

No way this is real.

[Unkn0wnGuy]

I think Stephen Harper is doing quite well... I'll be happy with no liberals for a few years yet.

[rythmiccity]

I, sir, will let you know what were the first thoughts that came to my mind:

1. What the fuck?!

2. Is this an American ad?

3. I hope this is not an official ad.

4. "Get a load of this."?????

5. Who is so stupid to believe this shit?

6. Is this an American ad?

7. What the fuck?!

8. (And finally) BULLSHIT

Pardon my language, but I really cannot respect you, given, what you're trying to do - to MISINFORM (understatement) people for your own interests.

[mexcurmudgeon]

Let's see... George W. Bush welcomed the Taliban when he was Governor of Texas, so there's certainly precedent. But then, being compared to Bush is certainly not something that any sane person would choose...

[Gemscorpion]

Dion wants to invade Pakistan. yeah right! This video is moronic if it takes itslef seriously.

[Anofalye]

I would never vote Liberals...but Dion wants our troops to come back home, nothing else.

He justs nods and smile to Afghans officials, as long as Canada's troops return asap, after 2009 however.

Misinformations...

[crewsayer]

No, if I was I would be NDP.

[widerstand1]

It would seem by your present video posting that you have a particular agenda. When I see a fresh 'user account' and a distorted pack of lies, I smell a rat. I don't know who you're 'shilling' for, but we're not as stupid as you look!

[TheGoodKid]

What a load of crap. I am not even a Liberal supporter and this pisses me off, as a Canadian.

[crewsayer]

There Dion goes again, copying the Democrats (Obama in this case). Of course the media never mentions that kind of thing when it is a Liberal being talked about.

Dion is a fool with no clue how to keep Canada safe or prosperous. Harper will clean his clock in the election. I bet they will replace him with Justin Trudeau, another know-nothing, do-nothing, princeling.

[bfq3000]

good job disabling the ratings there, jackass. this is complete garbage

[halorian2]

Ah, excellent ... a bunch of clips taken from here and there and put together professing the truth.

Where has honesty / integrity gone?
