NDP MP Pat Martin Roasted For Calling a Spade a *)%&@@**Shovel!

Winnipeg MP Pat Martin swears off Twitter after abusive rant against Conservatives was the headline in todays Vancouver Province.

Martin was pressured for daring provide a relevant response to the mountains of horsehit heaped upon the opposition, the parliament and the Canadian people by the governing conservatives.

Pat Martin NDP MP telling it like it is. Give him a megaphone Mulcair!

Pat Martin NDP MP telling it like it is. Give him a megaphone Mulcair!

Here is the predictable CP report critical of Pat Martin NDP MP for his inability to swallow the sickening drivel and sleazy politics of the jackboot style Harperite’s.

 

Amusing that the thug like behaviour of Harper’s chosen and encouraged cabinet ministers receives little if any criticism from the so called reporters who are all too often passengers, nothing much more than stenographers when it comes to telling us about the Tories shoddy practices and inappropriate antics.

Few MSM reporters risk holding the Conservatives feet to the fire for inappropriate behavior within and outside of the House of Commons.

Thomas, quick hand Pat Martin the megaphone!

Thomas, quick hand Pat Martin the megaphone!

So Pat Martin MP has some piss and vinegar about him. Good. Frankly it is refreshing that he has grown intolerant of the intolerable. Why should the bullies who ride ride roughshod over our parliament be treated with respect when they neither deserve it or practice such behaviour themselves.

I am far more concerned with the numb response of so many of our opposition representatives who seem understandably unable to effectively counter the attack on all that we hold dear in this country.

Mr. Mulcair, don’t muzzle Pat Martin, give him a ##^*%*)*#_# megaphone and let him tell the truth and shame the devil!

    Martin was p’d because he was not invited to a ceremony about a financial grant in his riding. The majority of the money came from the prvincial NDP government and they had charge of the invitation list.His rant should have been against them!

    • Richard Hughes

      That may well be the case but there are many issues and his feisty response to the neocons shows spirit and focus which is welcome in this quarter.

  • claudia holding

    I cannot imagine having to endure the utter stupidity and arrogance of Conservative MP’s in the House day after day. After a session like this fall, I can forgive Pat Martin for this. I’m angry too, dammit!

  • Brian Fisher

    Regretably Thomas the Tory did not pass the megaphone but instead got out his gags and tongue ties. How can one be chastised for criticizing a Harper bubble head doll? Parliament has become far too much of a goon show to spend time talking about decorum.
    Reload the musket with buckshot Patty.
    Brian Fisher

  • Amazing stupidity and hypocrisy to ignore CPC actions and focus on one word commonly used by most citizens.

    BTW, the feds never include Martin in any event that provides a public platform. To suggest otherwise is dishonest.
