Listen up.

I'm as conservative as they come, I've been a freeper since '98, I live in Ottawa and there is almost NOTHING I would love to see more than the Liberal Party kicked out of power.

I myself heard the tape and from the tape it is VERY CLEAR that he did NOT say 'Screw the Americans' but 'So did the Americans'. 'So did the Americans' also fits well with the context of the discussion.

What you are doing is playing into the hands of political trick by a person who is trying to become the leader of the conservative-in-name-only party. If you want to after LaPierre for his saying the USA is quilty of providing arms to Saddam (what he really said) then have at it, but don't cling to misquote just because it feeds your prejudices and anger.

If that is the case...
There should be no objection by a "man of honor" to have the tape replayed for EVERYONE to hear....

Many Americans, myself included --- have heard and seen MORE THAT ENOUGH to have formed an opinion on the current Canadian government and the majority of Canadians that elected them....

That is NOT our problem....That is your and their problem...

Point is, we have been "listening up" and observing.....

My position remains the same, and my deep anger will be long lived......

Semper Fi

I haven't heard the tape. I HAVE read the transcript though, and I agree with you completely that 'So did the Americans' fits with the context. 'Screw the Americans' would not fit the context at that point in the debate.

I absolutely agree with your comments. If this man was misquoted, and is being harangued because of that, than the conservatives will look very foolish indeed.

The liberals (from Canada and the USA) give us more than enough of their diatribes to debate. We don't need to make them up in order to prove our points.
