Why don’t you just accuse the left of being pro-paedophiles and anti-Canadian while you’re at it? Seriously…

As Ryan has so articulately pointed out, your assertion that “the left wing” doesn’t believe Darfur to be genocide is even more laughable than your statement that GTA causes car thefts.

And while we’re on the topic of having “read more widely about the many and varied people of the liberal persuasion”, when exactly did “a group of eminent doctors” become the spokespeople for the entire left wing?

On your first point, there is no way to tell who is more widely read than the other. Perhaps we are widely reading different sources. However, many left leaning politicians, political parties, and individuals have been quite willing to call the massacres in Darfur genocide. Notable exceptions would be Amnesty International and MSF.

Your snide non-apology aside, what I object to is the broad brush that you have used in the post. As a conservative, I hate it when my politcal views are generalized and I am summarized as a neo-con extremist, gun-toting, oil extractin’ at any environmental cost Albertan.

Did you know that the UN is legally required to respond if an event is declared a genocide? Thus far all there has been is years of tapdancing around the definition, in an effort to avoid going in.

Referring to shutting down Insite as a form of genocide is profoundly wrong though. I understand that supporters of Insite are concerned about its possible closeure, but inflammatory and intellectually dishonest language is not helpful.
