The chickens are coming home to roost

For years and years, the NDP and friends like Linda McQuaig, Maude Barlow and Murray Dobbin have tried to paint people like Mike Harris, Preston Manning, Stephen Harper, the Fraser Institute, and the editorial board of the National Post as those who would completely destroy Canada as we know it.

Now, Jack Layton and his candidates are saying that if you are sympathetic to the NDP but are considering voting Liberal to keep Harper out of power, you can stick with the Left because, really, trust us, Harper's actually an OK guy and we need your votes.

I would say that the years and years of abuse and name-calling by the Left is now coming back to bite them in the ass. Hearing the NDP turn around and say that the Conservative Party is really not THAT bad is laughable considering all of the alarmist, demonizing, character-assassinating rhetoric that has been directed towards free-marketeers in Canada over the last fifteen years.
