Tories to Ignatieff: 'Misquote us? Misquote you!' The transcript flap, blow-by-blow, April 19, 2011

Oh and by the way did I mention:

The chances of Dimitri Soudas or the others in the Con war room not having actually viewed the Ignatieff interview before they released the attack ad is to me, remote (these 'transcripts' were taken from the broadcast - "Command News TV transcripts capture the closed caption feed provided by each network")

and the likelihood high that they were simply and deliberating taking advantage of what they were actually aware of was a mistake - something totally in line with my observation of how Soudas and the Con's operate generally.

Also, from this article is seems the source of the 'transcripts' is well know not to be that reliable, something that, in my view, Dimitri Soudas and the other Con's must be aware of, and perhaps use this source precisely for the purpose of misquoting.

This source is simply not comparable to the Globe and Mail, or MacLean's as a source, which are much more reliable.

If the facts were vectors, they all point to

this being deliberate by Soudas and the Con's

Harper is in this position (finishing with more seats that the other parties) not because the people of Canada want it. But because:

Harper has a core of die-hard, right-wing extremist supporters (approx.33%), that will vote for Harper pretty much no matter what - even if he were announce Carson as Justice Minister - someone make Harper promise he won't do that

If not but for the Will of Parliament then Where is the legitimacy in that.

It may be a political reality, but then so are dictatorships, but few claim them legitimate (except those in power, of course).

If we want to put an end to the Harper ways, the Moderate Majority must consolidate and get out and vote.
