How about tone-deaf, blind and dumb.
Check out the CBC Politics broadcast from Wednesday morning. In the second half of the interview the panel talks about the Western Standard vs. MP Volpe situation. Don Newman proclaims how it was tone-deaf for the Tory MPs in question to hold up the poster as they need to make inroads in the Italian community. Completely let MP Volpe off the hook for making ridiculous comments regarding "the Klan". Comments that he is now denying he even said.
What it must take to be Joe Volpe. Caught on tape and still denying it.
But back to my point. MP Volpe makes an outrageous comment about how there is a new "Conservative Klan" but the Tory MPs are the ones who have done something wrong. Give me a break.
Update: Here is how CTV reports MP Volpe's original statements.
"These are the same Conservatives who think that every immigrant is a potential terrorist .. and criminal and everything else," he said, holding up a clipping of the full-colour photo..."Notwithstanding that they don't have their they don't have their cowl and their cape, the Klan looks like it's still very much alive."
Here is what he said last night in an interview with Mike Duffy (Click on the video link of Mike Duffy on the Web Extras)
Mike Duffy: You compared it to the Klu Klux Klan
Joe Volpe: I didn't use that but people inferred that from it...the only people who used the words Klu Klux Klan are idiots in your caucus
No Volpe, you are the idiot. So you didn't say the three words Klu Klux Klan, is the any doubt that it what you talking about - "their cowl and their cape, the Klan looks like it's still very much alive." Let me repeat myself, you are an idiot! Oh yeah...and a liar.
