Garth Turner The Pot Calls Kettle Black

Chucker Canuck has found the post Garth Turner removed from his blog and has reposted it as it was originally put online. In this post, Garth calls Stephen Harper a political whore.

The transformation is now complete. Harper is a political whore. And he joins a long list who have gone before him, using his office and the treasury of tax dollars it brings to reward his own people, and then try to buy off the rest of the country.

(remember those bolded words)

But that’s not the only part that gets my goat. Garth also says the following:

But Kellie Leitch, chair of pediatric surgery at the University Hospital in London, where she deservedly earns four times more than the average family, does not need more money.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but does Garth Turner not have millions tucked away from all his business dealings? Did he not make more than 4x what the average family did when he was in the private sector?

So let’s break this down. It’s not ok for Kellie Leitch, but it’s fine for Garth.

So let’s look at this from another perspective. Why did Garth join the Liberal Party? He tries to say that he found people with similar political views to his, but we all know Garth has been a conservative, right leaning politico all his life and that has not changed.

The only real reason Garth joined the Liberals was so he could fund raise and give out nice cushy 75% tax receipts in the next election, whenever that is. Due to his previous independent status, this was not a luxury he had. This way he, himself, can start “using his office and the treasury of tax dollars it brings to reward his own people.” i.e. his financial supporters.

So instead of using his own funds as he thinks Kellie Leitch should, Garth sold out his political views and joined the Liberals so he could give out tax receipts which, in turn, meant that he could get more money for campaigning.

So who’s the political whore?

    He is the political whore. He couldnt raise a dollar if his life depended on it as an independent … which forced his hand to join the liberals.

    He courted the Greens like someone looking at who is going to be his prom date before all of this.

    He has now circumvented the democratic process to bypass a nomination battle. Despite whats been said by Jose Zlater about supporting him, he got a “call” from Dion before that statement was made.

    Dion is pulling more strings behind the scenes than we realize. Garth has now taken the apology made to Kellie off his site…but both Chucker and I have the original post and apology on our blogs.

    Now Dion is coming to halton in a very secretive public meeting on the environment. Attendance is restricted. Head on over to the blog to see more.

    I am appalled. Garth must go. The doctor,Dr Kellie Leitch, he insulted is a brilliant accomplished young woman. He should be ashamed of himself.

    Garth is also censoring comments again. He seems to have me in some sort of a block – guess his “blue bug” got fixed.

    If SH was holding a “secret, restricted” meeting, the MSM would be all over it as further evidence of the Secret Agenda.

    Hyprocrasy continues……

    On another thought – why is it that everytime we think we have heard (me) the last of(me me) Garth (me,me,me) – he does something even more stupid and despicable to draw attention to himself.

    Publicity whore and political whore – what a guy!!!!!

    Well, in case the leader of the Liberal Party (what was his name again??? ;)) doesnt know about it we can let him know when he comes to Halton in this restricted attendance event on March 16th.

    Ive sent my invite out as well.

    Garth is letting in “friends of Garth” people who attended his town halls by special invite to meet Dion, but those of us on the outside wont be allowed to come in. So much for being open and honest eh?

    Received confirmation in the ol’ inbox today that the leader of the Liberal party has been monitoring Garths blog and was THE reason he removed the political whore comment.

    His “bug” apparantly is a load of BS. Dion has “asked” Turner to stop adding comments to posts made by users.

    More at Reopo!
