As you may or may not know, the United States and Israel were mistakenly placed on Canada’s “torture watch list“

Maxime Bernier said the list, which formed part of a manual on torture awareness given to diplomats, “wrongly includes some of our closest allies”.

Mr Bernier insisted the manual was not a policy document and did not convey the official views of his government.

The listing was criticised by the US and Israel, who demanded it be changed.

“We find it to be offensive for us to be on the same list with countries like Iran and China. Quite frankly it’s absurd,” said the US ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins.

Absurd, indeed.

However, the Progtards at the Progressive/Liberal hate-site, by the name of ThinkProgress (sic) think that not only was it correct for the US and Israel to be grouped with Iran and China, but to them, the US and Israel are worse!

Now here is the TP blurb about the situation, notice it is very bland:

Last week, CTV revealed that the Canadian government had put the United States on a “torture watch list.” Under heavy pressure from the United States, the Canadian Foreign Minister now has ordered the manual to be rewritten because it “wrongly includes some of our closest allies.” Amnesty International Canada criticized the move, stating, “When it comes to an issue like torture, the government’s main concern should not be embarrassing allies.”  January 20, 2008 1:13 pm |

This seems straight forward and matter of fact enough, right?

Well, we know better than to think the TPers will let this slide without some good old fashioned America-bashing! And once the realize Israel too had been mislabeled, make way for the haters. Here are two examples:

-

Here “natisman” is implying that Canada really did mean to include Israel and America on the list, but that they are “going to the prom” with our governments, and that is why our names were removed. “natisman” doesn’t seem to realize that Canada has been very much Pro-America and often times Pro-Israel in the past. Needless to say, “natisman” is an idiot.

Now, in the case of old “sacopenapa” here, we find a total disconnect from reality. Yes, “sacopenapa” thinks that if he says it loud enough, it has to be true. “sacopenapa” is utterly incoherent, and he too, is an idiot.

For those brave enough, here is a link to the post.

Just Say No.
