Is Sun News feeling a little sheepish

Rocky why does it not supprise me that
you're an iSheep. Would you care to
share the headline of the article so the
rest of us can see this damning
evidence.

Hmm - apparently dealing with I-dummies. Headline -

Gee, you couldn't take a half a second to copy and paste the piece? Here let me do the heavy lifting for you.

Harper joins clean-up in High River

_News Talk 770
7/6/2013

The Prime Minister took some time to speak with the media this afternoon. Stephen Harper and his wife Lorraine, rolled up their sleeves and got to work in High River yesterday. Harper says, "Myself and my wife were doing a bit of volunteering there yesterday. There are a lot of homes and businesses that continue to need a lot of work." In response to questions, Harper did say the RCMP acted in the public's best interest when they confiscated unsecured weapons while doing home to home searches for victims during the flood.

So now we have quotes from Harper on both sides of this issue. How politician like.

Well I disagree with this particular statement. " Harper did say the RCMP acted in the public's best interest when they confiscated unsecured weapons while doing home to home searches for victims during the flood."

I base my disagreement on the video evidence posted above of the house which was not flooded, in which the door was kicked open and the cops left a nice trail right to the gun cabinet with the guns still in it. That was neither in the homeowners best interest or that of the so-called public. And my guess is that this was not an isolated incident.

BTW- rockpile you said Sun was the only one covering this thing. Yet you yourself found a non Sun source that was also covering the story. Interesting.

And why would the Prime Minister be commenting on a story that you don't think is important if, well, it weren't important.

Then there is the official inquiry looking into the gun grab. Yeah, you got me there I guess they have those for things that nobody cares about all the time.

The outcome is quite predictable - the RCMP is going to "investigate" itself and come out sparkling - who'da' guessed?

The negotiations that made Harper come around was a scene something like this - "You cut us some slack and we will cut you some slack. After all, it's just a few civil rights that will end up getting trampled . . ."

[Fransisco]

Yup, you can always hide behind "good intentions", even though the road to hell is paved with them.
