I agree with Harper on this one. That said, I'm sick of both sides constantly calling for the resignation of opposition MPs for something they said, often years ago. Let the voters decide if the comment is egregious.

I agree..let the voters decide...should have left that "Israeli conspiracy"
space cadet on the Lib ticket, along with the Doobie brothers and nudie-boys
on the Dipperlist.

Is exposing a candidate's racism "gotcha" journalism, especially when that candidate belongs to a party with a long history of racial intolerance?

Harper lacks the balls to fire these people.. unlike M. Dion who gets rid of trouble makers
