He called the Globe a far-left paper and Doyle a Canadian intellectual. Horrors!! Can there be anything worse than being both a Canadian and an intellectual?!! Saints preserve us!

This is so typical - because the Canadian government might make a policy decision that a winger disagrees with, he insults ALL Canadians with nationalist, bigoted slurs: "He has, as well, called Canadians dishonest pinheads - and worse." The he proposes measures to attack ALL Canadians through a boycott. And reveals his gutter nature by using "intellectual" as an insult. Followed by his attacks on 9/11 victim relatives who don't agree with him - showing he has no compassion for anything except himself. Like a good winger rabble-rouser, he encourages his listeners to follow his example with broad-based bigotry: He also urged his supporters to initiate a writing campaign at Doyle's expense. Many obeyed, apparently, flooding Doyle's e-mail box with hundreds of hateful retorts, many of them with expletives to be deleted. Even the New York Times paid attention with an article this week that reprinted many of the postings. "You're lucky we don't attack Canada next. We hate communists here," wrote John from Virginia. "Canadians are worthless. Canadian equals coward," added Steve, who advised Doyle to stay away from Texas. This is what America's right has lowered itself to, the absolute gutter. And people wonder why the rest of the world doesn't just rush out to fall at their feet and worship everything American, with this and the Iraqi prison stories on every satellite news channel 24/7. Duh.
