I'm guessing "fair market value" will suddenly be context-dependent.


CC NEWS -- In a harshly-worded blog post today, Blogging Tory co-founder Stephen Taylor slammed the Liberal plan to dispense anti-Conservative and anti-Harper propaganda from gas station video units as a cheap and sleazy end-run around Canada's campaign finance laws.

Taylor, a well-known critic of potential tax exemption dodges and self-proclaimed "fair market value" expert, panned the scheme as nothing less than free political advertising designed to circumvent Canada's campaign finance regulations. Fumed Taylor:

"It's outrageous! It's so clearly political advertising, yet the Liberals will undoubtedly not describe it that way. There is obviously a fair market value to that kind of publicity, and the Liberals should absolutely have to declare it as such, and have to deal with it under Canada's political contribution laws."

When the journalist conducting the interview suddenly realized she had her stories reversed, and clarified to Taylor that it was, in fact, the Conservatives who were planning this, Taylor responded, "Oh, well, we're good then, no problem. Thanks for coming."

Not an entirely fair comparison, but it would have been interesting to see what the Conservative reaction would have been if the shoe were on the other foot and it was the Libs or NDP advertising at the pumps and, let's say, criticizing the massive amount of federal tax being collected on each liter of gas...

There is hypocrisy, and then there is shameless double standard by the obviously corrupt radical wingnut.

Is Steven Taylor that absolutely fucking stupid, giving new meaning to the term 'moronic imbecile'?

Evidentally. There is no way in the world that people like this will listen to reason, for they are way to far gone. It is psychotic, it is pathological, it is insane being that out of touch with reality.

What a fucking freak - and I mean that in the most insulting way.

I have lost the ability to differentiate between wingnut bufoonery and satire. You can't make this stuff up and all.....
