Green candidate stands by remarks praising 9/11 'Beautiful'
National Post ^ | April 13, 2007 | Katie Rook

A federal Green party candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway is standing behind a controversial editorial he wrote more than four years ago in which he describes the falling of the World Trade Center twin towers as "beautiful."....

"When I saw the first tower cascade down into that enormous plume of dust and paper, there was a little voice inside me that said, 'Yeah!' When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, 'Beautiful!' When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side, that little voice had nearly taken me over, and I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air,"....

Mr. Potvin said in a telephone interview last night that he is now skeptical that the events of 9/11 were entirely the work of terrorists.

"I have no idea what happened on that day, but it's certainly not the story that Washington propagates."....

This lamebrain typifies the cognitive dissonance required to be a leftist.

First, the Americans deserved it, and secondly, they probably did it to themselves.

This mental state is what makes possible the Jonestowns and Cambodias of this world.

Wait! This is a Canadian liberal. Probably upset that his National Health Care will only give him Generic drugs to cure his illness.

It’s hard to believe that flaming a-holes like this are Canadians too when I remember how the Canadian diplomats risked their lives to save our people in Tehran.

The Bad News: EVERY country has its tiny share of space cadets - Canada is no different.

The Good News: he’s with the Green Party, so it will be a miracle if he gets even 2% of the vote.

We probably have Americans that are worse.

Not that it excuses anything, and I agree with the other posters about having a little time alone to "play" with this one.

It’s far past time to quit being polite to fools like this Green.

His type of thinking is certainly the origins of Jonestown and Cambodia, however the thinking of your typical politician in D.C. is what gets us into mass exterminations of humanity like WWI and the Civil War.

What a disgusting piece of turd. Happy that thousands of people were dying before his eyes.
People who take joy in disasters that happen to others are mentally ill.
