A vote for Stephen Harper's Conservative Party is a vote for war, intolerance, a regressive agenda, for George Bush, against Kyoto, against government support for culture, against gay marriage, etc, etc. Fear Fear Fear... George Orwell, 1984...
When you don't have and know you don't have anything of substance to bring to the table you invariably resort to fear. Another reason not to waste an X beside an NDP candidate's name.
This ad will play well in Quebec. However for every 10 votes it scares away from the Tories, 9 of those will end up BQ and only 1 will go NPD. Jack's party just isn't a factor in Quebec, outside of Mulcair's riding.
I'm not normally a NDP voter (depends on election and riding), but this ad is really something - yes, it invokes intense imagery, yes it invokes Orwellian themes, yes it invokes fascism... but it also invokes emotion, and makes me want to defeat Harper - wherever we can.

ReplyDeleteThis is not a good video. It's simply fear mongering. It doesn't make one intelligent point or argument.
Funny it reminds me of something that Karl Rove or the republicans do and how Harper is trying to characterize Dion.
I believe people are smarter than that.

ReplyDeleteBesides the predictable "Stephen Harper is evil" message it is a pretty well designed ad.

ReplyDeleteSmiling Jack (or at least his ad people) gone off the deep end!

Layton is a grand-standing jackass who has the NDP mired in mediocrity and irrelevance.
ReplyDeleteHA! What type of gobbledeegoop language is he talking?! Hahahaha! Oh, Jack! You so crazy!
