Conservative Supporter Trying to Run His Own "Ad Scam"

I knew that one of Conservatives' favorite pass times was tossing out baseless and ridiculous accusations; I mean that became painfully obvious to all during Question Period, especially when the Gomery Commission was going on.

However, this one takes the cake. There is a Conservative supporter who is actually accusing the Liberals of “Running an Ad” for Research in Motion, because they have a picture of a Blackberry on their website.

We’re through the looking glass here people.

Setting aside for a moment the fact that the portion of the site in question doesn’t even mention RIM, or set a price for a Blackberry, or have a link to their website, the simple fact is the picture is to show that the author of the Liberal blog writes his blog on a Blackberry.

I just checked the Conservative website and they have a picture of Stephen Harper in a blue shirt and jacket, is that an ad for the clothing store he bought it off the rack from? There is a picture of the Liberal’s campaign plane, is that an ad for Boeing? And one of the Conservative ads takes place in a coffee shop, this is an obvious ad for Tim Hortons I mean how can anyone not see that? Almost every one of their ads has that sign with that highly ironic slogan “Stand up for Canada” (Ironic because to Stand Up for Canada you’d have to vote Liberal) you don’t think the sign makers are making a killing on those ads? I know a sign maker, he lives next door to me. When I tried to interview him about it he put his hand over the camera and kept sayingno comment.”

I guess since the Conservative talking points about how everyone who had ever even thought the word “Liberal” being involved in the first “Adscam” were shown to be complete and utter lies this guy decided he’d try to create his own “Ad scam.”

And I thought the Income Trust issue was ludicrous! It doesn’t hold a candle to this.
