David Popescu can’t keep his mouth shut!
The Canadian political hopeful came under fire last week after suggesting gay people should be executed, a comment that spurred federal investigators to investigate Popescu for inflammatory comments. While most people would have learned their lesson, Popsecu apparently lacks basic social logic:
Toronto police say they’re investigating “a threatening occurrence” after comments made by David Popescu to the spokeswoman of a gay rights group on a Toronto radio show on Oct. 2.
Sudbury police are also investigating Popescu for allegedly telling a group of local high school students on Sept. 30 that gays should be executed.
In the Toronto incident, Popescu was asked by radio host John Oakley whether Helen Kennedy, executive director of Egale Canada, should be executed.
Kennedy says Popescu responded “yes.”
Popescu cites the Bible as his murderous inspiration…

“Popescu cites the Bible as his murderous inspiration…”
There, that says it all

“”Popescu cites the Bible as his murderous inspiration…” That’s why they call it the Good Book, right?

What’s to investigate? Under Canadian law he should be arrested for his inflammatory statement. The man is advocating genocide. PUT HIM BEHIND BARS.

Ok, so why is anyone giving this asshole press, attention, airtime, and even the time of day? He’s obviously a sick fuk craving attention–ignore him like a naughty child and maybe he’ll go away.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just saw the new NDP ad on TV, with Jack saying he’s the only good alternative to Harper. Good ad, I hope they’re going to do well this coming election.
Damn I’m worried about Harper.

I saw some poll results this morning, Jude, and it seems like we’re in luck! The conservatives have gone down to a mere 32%, along with Liberals now at 25%. The NDP, on the other hand, have gone up to 21%. They’re catching up, and doing far better than their usual 15-17%!
Jude
21% against the Liberals with 25%? CRA-ZY! I didn’t think I’d see numbers like that in my lifetime (and I’m still quite young).
Thanks for the good news, seems like Harper’s stupid ads aren’t having the effect hoped for.

I give up trying to understand people like this guy.
Jude
Marc, I think that’s a good thing, you never being able to figure out a guy like that. Be thankful.

What about the Green Party? Elizabeth May did a very good job in the debates and she mopped the floor with Peter Mckay in the local riding debate.

by the way for our neighbours below: Peter McKay has been linked romantically with Condi Rice.
Jude
Wasn’t McKay dating that woman who jumped ship at the last minute? Belinda Stronach or something?
If he was linked with Condi, it goes to show the man doesn’t have a definite type… other than Conservative.

“If he was linked with Condi, it goes to show the man doesn’t have a definite type… other than Conservative.”
If he was linked with Condi his type might just be Sapphic.

Since time and again it seems that the more rabidly homophobic you are, the more likely you are to be a sad closet case, can we all agree to execute Popescu first and, you know, just see how it goes?
