So the media goes to town with the Mr. Dithers label so what is a Liberal to do...come up with a fancy nickname for the your opponent and beat it to death in the hopes that it will neutralize the damage to the Prime Minister. Voila Mr. Muzzle is born. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it though.
The Young Liberals have jumped on board saying that MP Harper is muzzling the youth of the Conservative Party by trying to get rid of the youth wing. Since there is going to be a vote at the Convention as the whether the Conservatives should (or should not) have a youth wing the charge hardly sticks (on this one anyway).
I do love the Young Liberals website though, especially the lesbians. Do you think the "It's the charter, stupid" campaign works as well if their picture had a couple of fat ugly men kissing...
They have set up a Muzzlegate.ca website:
Muzzling Debate.
Muzzling Free Speech.
Muzzling Democracy.
And you can get your own Stephen Harper strawman, er, I mean paper doll to burn in effigy. Crazy kids! It is funny how Liberal Cabinet Ministers are forced to vote against their conscience but it is MP Harper who is muzzling. How the Liberals promised to debate BMD but then passed when the PM got scared off by this youth wing. How the PM promised to bridge the "democratic deficit" during the election but has done nothing since.
Dithering on Debate.
Dithering on Free Speech.
Dithering on Democracy.
See how easy it is!
