I am having a hard time finding the right reaction to Jim Travers' piece in the Toronto Star today. If he had stuck to the Crooks no Fascists theme that Mark Steyn has spoke of in the past it would have in bounds but David Duke!? That is clearly out of bounds. What is it with Liberals and Liberal supporters that in the first sign of danger they trot out the KKK?
The connection made by Mr. Travers via Darrell Bricker between MP Harper and David Duke is so incredibly loose that it is irresponsible. Mr. Travers you should be ashamed of yourself.
As I mentioned in my reviews of the pieces in the Globe, the campaign has begun and the Star and the Globe will do their best to bring down the Conservatives.
Update: I emailed Mr. Travers and he responds by pointing out that it will be the Liberal strategy to present that there are issues more important than corruption. Fair enough, but I stick to my point that comparing MP Harper to David Duke is beyond the pale.
