New Evidence of Double Standards, Hypocrisy and Hatemongering at the Toronto Star

Once again the Liberal propaganda rag known as the Toronto Star has been caught red handed doing the dirty work of its Liberal masters.

The latest Liberal cheerleader employed by the Star is Jim Coyle, who has this time outdone himself when it comes to prostituting his journalistic principles in order to curry favour with the Liberals whose agenda the Star constantly promotes.

When Conservative MPPs Bill Murdoch and Randy Hillier staged a Legislative sit-in to protest Dalton McGuinty’s plan to ram through the HST without any meaningful public debate, Coyle actually went so far as to accuse the protesting MPPs of being wife-beaters and child abusers.

“They were faces of raving irrationality that any woman abused by her mate would recognize. They were faces of incoherent fulminating that any child terrified by a drunken father would know. They were the faces of inane intransigence with which most beat cops are wearily familiar.”

Compare Coyle’s ranting above to his reaction when a Liberal MPP named Alvin Curling used the exact same sit-in tactic to protest a Harris Government Bill.

Instead of accusing Curling of child abuse, Coyle wrote that Curling had emerged as “the unlikely champion of a campaign of civil disobedience,” and that he “looked for all the world like a latter-day Rosa Parks -- a man refusing to give up his seat.”

Unbelievable hypocrisy! To accuse democratically elected politicians of being wife-beaters and child-abusers is a new low even for Coyle and the Liberal rag that pays his salary.

At least we now know the stakes and the Liberal bias at the Star is there for all to see. To Jim Coyle, Conservatives who stand up for their constituents are wife-beaters. Yet Liberals who do the same are heroes. This is an astounding mix of hypocrisy and slander.

The really sad part is that Coyle wrote those appalling words on the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. Coyle’s drive-by smear only trivializes the real victims of violence against women. He should be ashamed to show his face at Queen’s Park and the Star should be humiliated for printing his words.

For the record; according to recent Angus Reid poll, 75% of Ontario residents agree with Hillier, Murdoch and the PC position that opposes the HST. Clearly Coyle and the Star’s views are not consistent with mainstream Ontario voters.

Once more we see the Harper government trying to change the public discourse away from its performance in Afghanistan, to an issue which puts Ignatieff and the Liberals under the microscope.

Harper is trying to do this by introducing an HST bill while framing the issue as support for the legal right of the provinces to harmonize sales taxes if the provinces wish to do so:

""This is not a complicated decision," according to draft talking points prepared for Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, obtained by The Canadian Press. "Either Parliament supports the right of the provinces to choose a harmonized value-added tax or it does not."

Copy of HST Letter to Jim Flaherty that all Candidates signed

At the debates in Markham on June 4, Frank Klees drafted a letter to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty asking him to delay the transfer of 4.3 billion for the implementation of the HST until after the next provincial election. All candidates eventually signed this letter and it has now been forwarded to the federal Finance Minister and every Conservative MP. An example of Frank taking a leadership role as the PC Party tries to fight this new McGuinty tax grab. Click on the photo of the letter above to enlarge. The video below explains the context of the letter from the Markham debates.
