I was a Liberal ... until yesterday

Re: Israeli Envoy, Rae Attack Ignatieff’s Remarks, Oct. 12.

I have been an active, involved and contributing member of the Liberal party until yesterday, when I decided to give up my membership because of the statements from Michael Ignatieff, given in French to a Quebec radio station.

I was hoping that with his background as a professor of human rights, Mr. Ignatieff would be able to make the distinction between the attackers and the attacked. I would remind Mr. Ignatieff that it was a Liberal government that placed Hezbollah on the international terrorist organizations list.

I feel it was not political savvy and wisdom that Mr. Ignatieff lacked in his address in Quebec. Rather, it was a lack of moral integrity, sacrificing the truth for personal political gains in the upcoming leadership election for the party.

I, and many of my friends, will no longer be there for that event.

Ariela Cotler, Montreal.

"It seems that according to a letter to the editor appearing in today’s National Post (must be a subscriber to see it), Ariela Cotler, who is former Liberal cabinet minister Irwin Cotler’s wife, is quitting the Liberal Party over Liberal Party leadership contender Michael Ignatieff’s anti-Israel remarks (or what liberals and their media call “Mr. Harper’s nation-splitting words of right-wing hatred and despicableness").

Let’s start by reading into it that she isn’t simply endorsing a non-Ignatieff contender—rather, she’s quitting the Liberals altogether.
...
And let’s read into it the huge chasm that is developing in the Liberal Party. "

Wow, it's going to be fun watching a political party tear itself up!
This might be appropriate.

How typical.

Liberal slanders Israel, then Israelis gets upset. but then Liberals blame harper.

What Harper said is true. That is why Ariela Cotler & Susan Kadis both quit in the last two days. And why Heather Wiesman & Izzy Asper bailed earlier. Iggy, Louise Arbour and their ilk have taken over the Liberal party and are taking a huge left turn. The average Canadian supports Democracy & Freedom, which includes supporting Israel.

Looks like this was a bad time to join the Liberal Party.

What took you so long Areila? Hopefully she/he turns to the NDP because I'd hate to see the Conservatives polluted by those who would turn a blind eye to the corruption and national disunity that is the hallmark of the Chretien/Martin legacy.

Are the libs and cons not the same group of people including Harper ?

Now I'm all interested.
Please provide proof of the Conservative gov's legacy of corruption and national disunity.
