Ben Mulroney doesn’t like me. Should the NDP like that?
On Wednesday the son of the former Conservative party leader ripped into me on his radio program. He began the four-and-a-half-minute discussion by calling me an “agitator extraordinaire, troublemaker, rabble rouser, generally unproductive member of society, antisemite of the highest order.” Ostensibly about my submitting to the NDP vetting on Monday Mulroney then asked, “Would it better for the NDP to welcome him in and fight him over his ideas or keep him out because he’s a toxic and terrible human being.”
The two guests echoed Mulroney with the first guest claiming I add “nothing to Canadian public life.”
Two days later Mulroney followed up this attack with another rant in which he called me a “vile antisemite and a net negative in the world in terms of the toxicity he brings to everything he touches and talks about.” He then says I should be blocked from the NDP leadership race.
How should the NDP brass look at Mulroney’s attack? (more...)
When the right people hate you is that good or bad?
