ollie Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Senator fires back at U.S. family upset with seal huntA Liberal senator has replied to a family in Minnesota upset about Canada's seal hunt with a letter denouncing the United States for executing prisoners at home and killing people in Iraq.The McLellan family had written to Canadian senators to say they cancelled a vacation in Canada because of the hunt, which they called "horrible" and "inhumane," Montreal's La Presse reports. In her response, Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette said that what she finds horrible is "the daily massacre of innocent people in Iraq, the execution of prisoners – mainly blacks – in American prisons, the massive sale of handguns to Americans, the destabilization of the entire world by the American government's aggressive foreign policy, etc."Awesome.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 However you cut it, best thread title of the day . It's good that Americans hear and are reminded of these things, imo, even though there are different baskets of issues at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 the senator was stupid, why would she waste her capital tee-ing off on a family in Minnesota? If she has something so important to say, why not say it more intelligently, to people who might be able to get past the inflammatory language and immature tactics?ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Who knows. Maybe it is a media-savvy move - what better way to get conservatives to listen to your point than to do so by way of insulting a liberal family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
