Canadian conservatives who once gleefully celebrated my being suspended from Twitter are currently howling, wailing and gnashing their teeth over the savage unfairness of cancelling someone's Twitter account.
I just thought you needed a reminder of that.
How delightful that, in my mailbox this morning, I found a sample issue of the wretched, worthless, racist piece of utter garbage that is "The Epoch Times."
The word "defenestration" leaps to mind, and not the modern definition.
Fresh off making a total ass of himself on social media, Andrew Scheer complains about Twitter account "RANDY HOOK" insisting he be stripped naked, driven through the streets and nailed to a large piece of wood; vows to report obvious threat to RCMP:
Conservatives, who ruthlessly block followers on social media so those followers can no longer read their messages, suddenly furious about being banned from social media because it prevents them from getting their message out.
Don't make me stop this car and have to explain that to you.
AFTERSNARK:
Me: "I can't wait for the Liberals to crucify Andrew Scheer in the next election."
Andrew: "ZOMG, CC wants people to nail me to a large piece of wood!"
Jesus fuck, what a moron.
"How DARE so many entitled, self-absorbed, latte-sipping members of the UCP engage in non-essential travel to the U.S. during a pandemic?", screamed Ezra Levant, at exactly the same time he was sending a Canadian journalist on non-essential travel to the U.S.
AFTERSNARK: When I describe in-house white supremacist turd Keean Bexte's D.C. "journalism" as "non-essential," it's because it's worthless shit like this:
Well, this is awkward ...
Yeah, about that ...
APPARENTLY, there's more here than meets the eye. According to the Globe article, the e-mail interview was not with O'Toole himself; rather, the e-mailed questions were answered by a press secretary:
This raises the obvious question: Was Ezra not aware he was not actually talking to O'Toole? And if he knew that, did this really represent an "exclusive interview" if O'Toole wasn't part of the process? I'm going out on a limb here, and speculating that O'Toole was more than a little pissed as being described as giving an "exclusive interview" to Rebel News, given that he seems to have known nothing about it.
RUH ROH: Apparently, Ezra has been caught misrepresenting that interview "with Erin O'Toole," as he has subsequently admitted that he knew it was O'Toole's press secretary providing the answers:
In short, Ezra claimed an exclusive interview "with Erin O'Toole" when he knew full well that he was getting answers from only a press secretary. That seems ... tacky.
Here's right-wing propaganda mill Rebel News touting the virtues of Parler some months back as the place to be for conservatives, right-wing shills, hacks and all-round batshit crazy lunatics:
A gentle reminder that, even after Trump groupies stormed the U.S. Capitol and murdered a police officer, the fine folks at Rebel News would still like to sell you Trump-branded merch, because, you know, nobody there cares about a dead cop, and $54.95 is $54.95.
... GOP Senator Susan Collins insists that there is no need to prosecute the Trumpists who stormed the U.S. Capitol and murdered a policeman since she's sure they've "learned their lesson."
Sure, violent insurrection, numerous death threats and a dead cop, but if we can focus on what's really important, that'd be great, thanks.
It falls, of course, to Rebel News right-wing propagandist Ezra Levant and his youthful ward, Josef, to totally and utterly misrepresent recent history:
Yes ... gosh darn those unsavoury media outlets who will now insist on lumping in the occasional innocent, well-meaning Trump supporter with the "dozens" of actual violent rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol and murdered a police officer. It's almost like all those photos of hundreds, if not thousands, of deranged, batshit fucking crazy Trumpists were all just concocted by the fake news media:
P.S. Just so you remember, these are the people Ezra and Keean are making excuses for:
Your thoughts?
P.S. I could have tagged you fuckers directly, but you permanently suspended my account for calling someone a "twatwaffle," clearly the more egregious violation of your Terms of Service.
