The Irony is killing me!

Jack Layton has used(once again), "American" as a slur, on MDL tonight while discussing the situation in Afghanistan.

Ironically enough, he has also come out in favour of Al Gore. (and the Liberals are doing the same!?)

It's a sad day when someone is dense-headed enough to throw around the word American as if it is completely reprehensible to be anything similar to them. Of course, the reality is that they mean "republican". If it is an American talking about something they agree with, all the rules change.

Come on Jack - this is the reason your party remains a fringe collection of misinformed students and tree-hugging hippies. Canadians understand that the United States is our best ally on this planet, and that we are interdependent with them. Of course, that doesn't fit in with the socialist rantings of the NDP, but you certainly have a lot of nerve suggesting that you have any idea what Canadians want.

The lunatic fringe may eat up your American hatred... but the average voter certainly doesn't. And throwing hate at the Americans doesn't do Canada any favours.

Try building some substance instead of throwing around petty insults.
