McClelland: One goosestep too far
**********
UPDATE: 6 Mar 2007 - McClelland strikes back
"He hates the Jews... more than I do."FREE MCCLELLAND... so he can find the real anti-semites.
You've gotta be pretty desperate to bring out the O.J. defence...
It’s me asking you to stand by my side to fight the real anti-semites. Are you willing to do that or are you just going to prove me right; that when they came for me, Jews like you didn’t give a shit.**********
BEST BLOG HEADLINE: First they came... for the idiots
**********
I'm sure more than a few of the Blogging Tories have had the distasteful experience of brushing up against Robert "Myblahg" McClelland.
It seems Little Bobby has gone so far beyond the pale this time, that even the NDP is disavowing any connections to him, or his site.
Cherniak has the details...
I just received a copy of a letter from Anne McGrath, the president of the NDP. In it, she calls Mr. McClelland's comments "repugnant".Anybody who has ever had the slightest contact with this tedious pretender could have seen this coming.
She also states that the NDP is creating "a new blog roll that better reflects the views and needs of New Democrats in the blogsphere".
I can't wait to hear the justifications from his pals.
UPDATE: Big Dipper McClelland totally unrepentant
"Jack Layton and the NDP have even less influence over me and the Blogging Dippers website than you imbecilic Libfloggers do."**********
"You don't get what I'm saying so I'll make it totally clear. GO FUCK YOURSELF. And you can publish that on your blog, asshole."
LAST WORD: McClelland acolyte bails
Paladiea says... "Robert, you refuse to apologize, and I’m sorry but I can’t continue to defend you."
"Consider this my resignation."

It all started here. After our little exchange Robert thrown all caution to the wind...
The rest is history.
I disagree with Cherniak's approach. Robert represents a real strain within the "progressive" movement. As such, there is no point shunning him.
I mean, next thing we know, they'll be shunning people who oppose the market economy. Whoever's left might as well join the Tories

"shlemazl said... Robert represents a real strain within the "progressive" movement."
shlem... you mean stain, right?
i thought your link with mcclelland's comments was fairly illustrative of both his worldview and his sagacity, or more to the point, lack thereof.
mcclelland is a boring, one-note dickhead... who apparently doesn't have the good sense god gave a donkey.
he sets his own house on fire, that's not on cherniak.

Umm, you misquoted me. But thanks for calling me an acolyte.

well pal... i provided the direct link to your post, so people can actually see how horribly i've twisted your meaning.
but, just to be clear... you're happy to be called bobby's little helper, but you feel you have to bail on him too?
it's a little... confusing.

Yes I can see how that would be a common thing...
Don't worry too much about it. Anyhow a misquote isn't necessarily twisting someone's meaning, it's not publishing a quote as is. If you wanted to cut out the part where I said that I was forever grateful to him for the opportunities he gave me, then you should have done this "Blah blah... ... Blah blah blah"
The ellipses indicate that something was said in between.
Or, in this case, you should have put ellipses on at the end, to show that the quote continues on.
Oh well. No big deal.

pal... so we're cool now?
how about sharing your thoughts on robert's "i'm just a bit anti-semitic compared to this guy" defence?
