Liberal Double Speak

Today the Tories launched a series of ads attacking Ignatieff. "The free ride is over", claim the adds. They attack, amongst other things Ignatieff's tenure in the country. It's well known he's spent the better part of his adult life in the U.S. So it stands to reason that this might raise some questions about his credibility.

No! How dare they question Mr Ignatieff - at least, according to Gerard Kennedy. He took the typical Liberal approach, branding the ads as normal Tory personal attacks. The Liberals would never partake in such things. Even when it was pointed out that they are doing just that with a series of YouTube ads, they denied it - claiming instead that these are factual accounts.

So you're getting this right? When Tories launch ads they're mean spirited personal attacks, but when the Liberals do it they're providing information to the public. And so the wheel turns . . .
