It's not so much Haroon Siddiqui's column of this morning. Rather, it's the increasing racist ugliness and ignorance one finds permeating the comments sections of the MSM. And the increasing dishonesty of some of those commenters, like "rickbon":
Thats a lot of hyperbole, whereas the truth is that we finally have a governement just has the balls to say "NO means NO". They won't cave in to BS and public pressure. If your passport photo DOES NOT look like you, then you have a problem. Isn't that why there is a photo on your passport?? Or is that too simple to understand?

And on that note, let's all start watching for the newest talking point from the Canadian Idiot-sphere -- that Mohamud's passport photo DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HER!! Originally, it was just that her lips didn't seem to match, an accusation that has (as you can read above) slowly morphed into IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HER!! Possibly AT ALL!! Not even A LITTLE BIT!!!!!!
And the dishonesty of the Douchebag-o-sphere rolls on.

Your "entertainment" couldn't have been some Arab on black instead of Conservative on black racism could it?

Not quite,sometimes the mistakes might be where it's inconvenient to your prejudices.
Try looking at all the possibilities before tossing out unproven accusations of Conservative on brown/black racism.
I'm sure that won't affect the entertainment value.
Dear bocanut:
I heartily recommend reading Dr. Dawg on this topic. But I'll understand if you're simply too stupid to grasp the concepts.
Ignorant racist Jonathan Kay (Jewish-Canadian), son of Barbara Kay (Harridan-Canadian), writes a column alleging that the travails of Suaad Hagi Mohamud (Somali-Canadian) are the result of the racism of Liliane Khadour (Egyptian-Canadian). Bocanut (Lichen-Canadian) dutifully pastes the twaddle here.
It's long past time this man and his mother get done for their never-ending attempts to stir up ethnic strife in this country. Remember, Barbara Kay was sanctioned by the Quebec Press Council for provoking ethnic tensions in that province. It's beyond clear that these two are the most determined bigots in Canada.
Part of the problem is that stupid scan of a fax of a photocopy of her passport photo that the newspapers keep reprinting. It's impossible to make anything out, because apparently somebody doesn't know how to use the contrast settings on their office Xerox properly (and the security measures are also designed to make it hard to reproduce well.)
As somebody else pointed out, though, even if her passport didn't satisfy a foreign nation (which it would have, if it wasn't for a shakedown attempt), that's what embassies are for - the recognition that sometimes things don't work properly; her other identification should have been enough to satisfy them, and they in turn could assure the foreign nation that she was a citizen, etc. Passports are for travel outside the country; we have different ID standards within Canada (you don't have to have a passport to access government services, do you? No - a birth certificate or Certificate of Canadian Citizenship is sufficient.) The embassy could easily have verified her citizenship*. So even if those commenters have a point about the photo, well, they still don't have a point.
*Although apparently they don't actually bother to do so. An official was quoted as saying that passport fraud happens 4-5 times a week - really? I wonder how many other Canadian Citizens they've callously un-stated?

Your pet dawg has tossed in the Brenda Martin story as an example of what?.
Does your pet dawg want folks to believe that the Conservatives are racist towards everyone, not only brown people as you believe?
He's too stupid to be taken seriously.

Why let the fact that the MCC wrote the letter stating that Arab on black racism might be a factor in this mess stand in the way of your delusional rants?

The MCC can say whatever it wants. I, however, was addressing the well-documented bigotry of one Jonathan Kay, who will seize on anything that suits his campaign to vilify Muslims.
Now, stop being an arrogant half-wit. I can tolerate arrogance and I can tolerate ignorance, but the two together (known as 'Conservatism') are just toxic.

I suppose you have proof that Jonathon Kay is in your opinion a bigot and a racist other than his linking, commenting and agreeing to a Muslim site article.
Try not to let your abnormally obsessive hatred of all things Harper cloud your thoughts and embarrass yourself in future.

Yes, I do.

What is this? An excerpt from a script for a Massengill commercial?
"Yes, I do."
hell, even i have proof of that one.

Aren't you special.
"Da proof is da proof and when you have da good proof it's proven."
When you were writing up that comment and speaking it out loud, did you do with a "Black Jacques Shellacque" accent?
What's wrong?
Trying to deflect the fact you claim to have proof and don't?
Let's see it.

I was going to show Bocanut something else...
will he have to show you his first?

When people are so publicly stupid, they've already shown me everything the rest of us normally keep hidden. As far as I'm concerned, every wingnut is up on the gurney with legs in the stirrups, inviting the rest of us to brandish a speculum and inspect their privates with a magnifying glass.
The immodesty of "Conservatives" is striking.
Ti-guy:
Yawn,why am I not surprised that you can't even come up with a simple link to back your allegations.
Carry on being an ignoramous.
I can't do anything about your yeast infection, Boca. So stop whining about feeling "unfresh."
Why is this thread now all about bocanut? The title of the post was "The Ugly Canadian".
Oops, never mind.
