However Wudrick's remarks in my post were delivered at a Manning Centre Democracy workshop.<br /><br />Anon : Good example of clever-arsed parsing is Steve's use of "only" the other day in the House. He said : : <br />"we've <i>only</i> found that it was the Liberal Party that did source its phone calls from the United States",<br />which does not at all mean the same thing as what was reportrd :<br />"we found that it was only the Liberals that ...

"It wasn’t possible that anyone below him engaged in dirty tricks without his knowledge."<br /><br />2. Giorno "absolutely did not" authorize anyone to make phone calls that were impersonating Elections Canada or harassing.<br /><br />That still leaves a loophole big enough to drive the Conservative Bus through with enough room left over to throw a staffer under it. Does Giorno have knowledge of dirty tricks that were unauthorized but happened anyways? That someone other than him authorized? Did dirty tricks take place entirely above his level or in an entirely separate partition he wasn't in charge of?<br /><br />Why do these Conservative higher-ups always choose the kind of language that implies something but gives them cover if that implication is false and deceptive?<br /><br />Maybe after In&Out and the cover-up with forged invoices it became clear that any similar actions in the future would need plausible deniability. While the media takes limited statements from the clean Conservative compartments, the actions of other parts of the operation (including temporary hires and work contracted out) go unquestioned.<br /><br />Justice needs to be done and needs to be seen as being done. Since the RCMP can no longer communicate with the public without being filtered by the PMO, that means a full public inquiry to get to the bottom of this mess, not just whatever happened in Guelph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-90237782880003273482012-03-05T17:24:57.615-08:002012-03-05T17:24:57.615-08:00Hey why did you teach voter suppression then?
