FOX NEWS!!!! Well there's an unbiased source for all that is news. Come on Fred. It's funny, some of your post's come from, "a position of jealousy and hate rather than relevance and reason and it becomes downright maddening."
That's why I come here I guess, 'cause I can't yell at you on the radio anymore.
September 22, 2008 / 06:59
Oh.....by the way, I thought that piece (by Heather) was hilarious, as was the skit on Saturday Night Live!
September 22, 2008 / 09:06
I actually liked her article. It's about time a Canadian broke out of our safe and polite shelf.
Fred....you're the one who always complains that many talk radio hosts play it too safe in Canada and now you slam this???? This is a GREAT article!! Well done Mallick!!
September 22, 2008 / 09:10
Fred....what if an American journalist wrote something like this about Canadians??? You would be toasting them and yapping about how Americans are better than Canadians in the media and we should be more like them.
You are such a hypocrite. This is a well written article. I loved it!
September 22, 2008 / 09:29
Though I may not agree with every thing the CBC does it is a distinctive Canadian voice. Their programming is unique to Canadian radio and television.
Nothing wrong with private television serving us up mostly US shows and private radio with its old and tired formats.
A little disappointed you call Heather Mallick a b****. You have so many more way to dis her.
I found Mallick's column unfunny and crass.
September 22, 2008 / 09:39
Calm down Freddie. Mallick's correct - why would anyone from the working class vote for the Republicans? Why would anyone vote against their own interests? That's the issue in the US. And Fox News calling her a "pig"...uh, whatever. You seemed to have forgotten when Mallick appeared on O'Reilly during the post 9-11 hysteria and she got death threats from his viewers. At least she is standing up to them. What are you standing up for - 4 more years in the US of neo-con insanity??
September 22, 2008 / 10:14
No surprise to find so many Mallick fans here in Canada. The sooner we Canadians get over our jealousy and rage towards the US the better.
Mallick is a hack who’s only qualifications are that she’s a lefty and an angry feminist – can’t have too many of those at the CBC ya know.
I don’t have a problem with someone who has a biased lefty opinion at the CBC but they should in kind have an obnoxious, biased right winger to offset her. Currently they don’t, so I’m more than willing to fulfill that obligation.
September 22, 2008 / 11:16
I'm sorry, but I don't see why this article is so shocking.
It's crass, but essentially true. American pundits write things in this tone all the time (usually from a right wing bias, as opposed to this).
I don't think this makes Heather Malick a pig or a bitch.
September 22, 2008 / 11:26
I clicked the link expecting to find something horrible. What I got was an article that while not the most well written piece I've ever seen, was totally fine. She's got a right to say what she wants just like the rest of us do. She wrote an opinion piece in which she expressed her opinion. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, she did exactly what a lot of conservative commentators do on a daily basis.
September 22, 2008 / 11:47
I think it’s ironic that so many lefties are beating the drum of Palin’s inexperienced while ignoring Obama’s obvious short comings. He’s been a Senator for only 4 years – he’s never been in an executive position (unlike Palin who has been a mayor and a Governor).
Oblama is running for pres while Palin is running as VP (a position that’s mostly advisory and symbolic in nature). She’ll represent the country at foreign state funerals, etc… nothing critical.
September 22, 2008 / 12:53
Freddie, our beloved Leafs are broadcast on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and let's not forget Don Cherry. That alone is worth the money, isn't it??
Regarding, the article, it's just one person's opinion and that's it.
Argie, let's not forget that if McCain is elected, there is a good chance that his health won't be good enough to make it through first term. Therefore, Palin may very well have to step in as Pres. Scarry!!!
September 22, 2008 / 13:15
Mallick's been using those cheap ni-cads in her vibrator again; they're usually dead when you need'em the most.
September 22, 2008 / 13:18
Argie,
Under you definition then McCain doesn't have the same executive experience either. He's been a Senator, albeit for a longer time, but still a Senator.
Also, it's funny how it is now "executive" experience that they are flaunting. It would be much more refreshing to admit that she is a bad choice for VP. A worse choice if president. Hate Obama all you want, dislike his policies and experience. But to defend Palin as a way to attack Obama isn't right.
September 22, 2008 / 13:41
Andrew,
Palin could be considered a novelty act – just like your friend Obama. Both are wild card candidates who offer someone different than the usual suspects. One has a vagina and the other is half black. All the GOP did was to play the same game the Dems did – that is to stray away from the typical type of candidate.
As for Obama, you’re right, I disagree with his policies and he obviously lacks experience (executive or senatorial). On the other hand, I agree with Palin on the issues so yes I hope she and McCain win. I also admire her for what she’s accomplished, her courage to blow the whistle on her own party officials and her strength for keeping her child after finding out he had down syndrome (unlike the 80% of mothers who abort their babies with this affliction).
So when it comes to character, there’s no comparison between her and Obama - anyone can see that.
September 22, 2008 / 13:44
Well Argie, Palin said "God" told her to build a pipeline (for Nat Gas) from Alaska to Alberta.
With McCain's 1200 page medical record (in the past 8 years), it's possible Palin will become President. I wonder what else "God" might tell her to do.
She's a whackjob dude.
September 22, 2008 / 14:12
Well Irv, Obama attended a church for 20 years where he befriended the pastor who’s an admitted racist anti-American radical.
Obama has a lot in his closet along with being a bit slow – mentally (have you ever seen him in an interview?).
Can you provide proof where Palin stated that ‘God told her to build a pipeline’?
September 22, 2008 / 14:26
Forget the article...she is one ugly woman. No wonder she is a feminist...she could not get laid if she tried unless she was at the Vagina Monolouges drinking crappy white wine and eating day old Sushi. Besides, what is wrong with white trash?
September 22, 2008 / 14:35
Argie, it's no use arguing. Anyone who had said written such things about Obama (and there's plenty to write about) would have been vilified by now. It's a sicking double standard.
Congrats to Greta Van Susteren for finding THE most appropriate word to describe Mr. - er Ms. Malick.
September 22, 2008 / 14:36
I'm not sure why Obama supposedly doesn't have character in comparison to Sarah Palin. Because he didn't turn down an opportunity to abort a Downe Syndrome baby?
As well, it's interesting that you think Obama is a novelty act because he's half black. I would say he comes across as the most intelligent, likable, and rational person to run for president in recent memory. He's not some random chump in a suit who's succeeding in politics because he has black skin.
Palin, on the other hand, seems to be from the George W mold. Someone who doesn't come across as particularly intelligent, has never left the United States, and who is religious to an alarming degree. In short, she's more of the same for the Republican party.
However, she's also an attractive, young woman. And lets face it, she was picked when the Republicans were looking at a matchup of young, exciting Obama vs old and uninspiring McCain. Her nomination was clearly an attempt to take away from Obama's massive advantage in youth and charisma.
Which is fine. But it takes a particularly closed mind to equate Obama and Palin both as novelty wild cards.
Palin is the poorly chosen novelty choice.
September 22, 2008 / 14:41
Also, Argie, do you feel that this indicates good character on Sarah Palin's part?
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-brooks4-2008sep04,0,5675222.column
Palin's association with the Alaskan secessionist party has really been overlooked, I think.
September 22, 2008 / 14:52
Thanks Fred, that was a great article - very funny. Take the stick out of your arse and enjoy it for what it is.
September 22, 2008 / 14:55
James – No big deal. I believe Ontario should separate from the rest of Canada. Is that so wrong?
The writer has an axe to grind with any conservative minded women. She’s a Dem which is fine but her mean spiritedness is troubling.
September 22, 2008 / 15:19
Arige, please provide the stats where 80% of women would about a child with Down Syndrome. She doesn't deserve to be VP because she kept the baby.
Palin has as many skeletons that Obama has and maybe less the McCain.
I also noticed you avoided the McCain question.
With McCain whom you have questioned and disliked on this board, why is he so great now?
September 22, 2008 / 15:43
Andrew – here is the link to the 80% stat.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51671-2005Apr13.html
As for McCain, he’s not my ideal choice for president but given the choice, he’s infinitely better suited to be Pres of the US over Obama. I like his foreign policy and social conservative views but admittedly he’s old and not the healthiest guy. Huckabee was the perfect choice.
September 22, 2008 / 17:04
Don't be embarrassed, Fred. Heather Mallick may be a pig, but she's only saying what a lot of people are thinking. I kind of feel sorry for McCain - a decent guy who was railroaded by his advisors into taking on this belligerent and ignorant harpy to shore up the female vote. Was there not one woman more qualified than this scary " gun-toting hockey mom"? She gives women a bad name, and I'm not talking about her parenting skills. I'm talking dumb. Go Obama.
September 22, 2008 / 17:37
Trish's comment that Palin is "dumb" is one that seems to be catching on, and the one I find the most unfair. I didn't know a damn thing about her before, and I'm no expert on her now, but I have done my fair share of reading up on her, and nothing I've come across leads me to believe she's stupid. You can bet the media is going to push this angle now, and I think it's a real disservice to women in general - what, because she's a reasonably attractive mother, she must be an airhead? At least they gave George W. a couple years of grace before proclaiming him a complete moron. Palin's been on the scene for a few weeks and she's already a bimbo - as if all of her accomplishments to date mean nothing. Sad.
September 22, 2008 / 19:06
Many; many years after that 'social experiment' known as communism finally crumbed, (at the cost of 60-80 million lives... those numbers make Hitler look like an amateur), the CBC continues as the audio shilling voice of "Pravda."
And; the CBC certainly DOES NOT REPRESENT MY CANADIAN VIEW!
Get a real job; lefties... and Harper... cut the funding to the Communist Broadcasting Corp. NOW!
September 22, 2008 / 19:42
Argie: Took place in The Wasillia Church. Dude, it's God's will
BTW, while we're comparing right to left wing, why not talk about the 1.7 trillion dollar bailout down south?
September 22, 2008 / 22:06
Read this article she wrote and really, what's the big deal? What she says is isn't any more stupid or controversial than what you'd hear coming out of "right wing" media
As we know Fred, you're far more to the left than I. Hell man, you think the oil industry "gouges" people when really it's the free market doing it's thing.
Difference is, you support this "new" version of "right wing". The new "right wing" is a bunch of stupid redneck inbreds that assume everyone that's against them is "the loony left". It's like comparing Ralph Klein to Peter Loughheed. Both were "right wing", both proud Conservatives, but one had a brain...and one is a fat drunk redneck. There is the Peter Lougheed Hospital, I doubt they'll ever be a Ralph Klein hospital.
September 27, 2008 / 18:13
Fred...you were always against CBC...I saw this the day I mentioned the high ratings of Metro Morning and you almost freaked out.
Pity. I liked you at the time.
You really are an angry man. Relax. The CBC and alternate views are here forever. You are not.
I wanted to write about Heather Mallick last week, but I honestly couldn't find the time. It wasn't until Sunday night, sitting in the tin palace, that I got to sit in front of my laptop and express the outrage I have towards this woman and the CBC.
