The below clip is an abridged interview between Charles Adler and lifetime Liberal Dan Donovan, who says that many Liberals are appalled by the socialists who have hijacked the Liberal party, and gone against their traditional commitments to the NATO alliance. He says that most Liberals are upset with the haphazard way that the troops have been smeared by talk of war crimes, but that it’s mainly because the political party has been influenced by former NDP members like Ujjal Dosanjh and Bob Rae.
As Don Donovan writes today in Ottawa Life Magazine:
Mr. Rae and Mr. Dosanjh prostitute themselves for media ratings, offering scarce objectivity and an absence of balance. They postulate that if Canadian soldiers handed over even one prisoner who was then mistreated (or tortured) by Afghan authorities, both the Prime Minister and Defence Minister must be war criminals. There could not be any other explanation. Their conjecture is nothing but absurd. We know factually that there were cases when the Canadian Forces took detainees back into their custody upon learning the Afghans were mistreating them. But don’t let that get in the way of a good round of media froth.
Just last year, Bob Rae and Ujjal Dosanjh, both former NDP Premiers who are now posing as Liberals (and who are the key spokespersons for the Liberal Party posts of Foreign Affairs and Defence), were demanding that then Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier resign because he told reporters during a scrum in Afghanistan that Asadullah Khalid, the governor of Kandahar province, should be replaced. They argued that by making this statement about Khalid, Bernier was interfering in Afghanistan’s domestic issues. Again, the national media were all over this story reporting that Bernier was interfering. They insinuated his resignation was imminent. Now, Rae and Dosanjh are saying that Peter MacKay should resign because he did not interfere enough in Afghanistan’s governance. It is a classic example of sucking and blowing at the same time.

To listen to the whole interview, go to the Adler radio vault, select March 22, at around 12:35. Particularly interesting is the discussion of Richard Colvin near the latter part of the 18 minute interview [50 minute mark].

There should be no surprise here, their favorite son, Pierre Trudeau, was a socialist who saw that the only way to get to run the country was to run the Liberal party. Any sane NDP adherent knows this, and tries to take advantage of it, like Bob Rae…
Many of us have been waiting for years for a Liberal to admit that!
My family was traditionally Liberal, way back when they were the Middle of the Road Party,Pa voted for Mac and Uncle Louis and Lester Bowles, but since Trudeau it’s been left,left and more Left !
Boot these Left wing bastards,Mr.Demerais, and get the Party back to where it belongs! We already had a Left-wing Party and sure as hell didn’t need another.
Just so you know, I fixed the audio problems with MP3 player that were occurring when I first published it.
The problem here is that Liberals always campaign to the left and govern from the right.
But not right enough.
Ever.
So people who vote for them can dismiss the socialists as ‘oh, they’ll never do that’ and then they do.
But by then it’s too late to stop them.

Thinkers conference.
Ignatieff is looking for some national railroad scheme for this century.
Shouldn’t he have had that vision already?
Yeah, about 120 years ago! We DO need light rail transit up the Fraser Valley,though.
Visions, or hallucinations?
‘Boot these Left wing bastards,Mr.Demerais, and get the Party back to where it belongs!’
The Liberal Party of Toronto is exactly where it belongs dmorris.
They wanted it , they got it.
December 1, 2008 a coalition agreement, negotiated with the help of
Chretien (Liberal) and Broadbent (NDP)
and who ever the French resistance sent in, was signed.
Dubed the Coalition of Losers, because all 3 losing opposition parties joined forces and attempted to oust the newly elected Conservative government.
Thank you for posting this Adrian. This guy Donovan knows his stuff! I hope he continues to be vocal on this important point.
“Many of us have been waiting for years for a Liberal to admit that!”
And now one angry guy agrees with you.
You must be very happy…
By the way, how is Joe Clark doing these days?
Gayle: Who cares?
I doubt “Joe Who” even knows how he is doing. Him and Lyin Brian Baloney may as well have been lieberals. They were part of “The Old Boys Club” controlled by Desmarias and Power Corp.
“Gayle: Who cares?”
Exactly.
Thanks for the link! I really enjoyed listening to what Donovan was saying.
That Bob Rae is such liar. I remember he was on a talk show here in Alberta and he denied on air that the Liberals never signed a coalition agreement with the NDP and seperatists.
Here is a audio clip of it

Gayle:
Joke Lark was a Librano plant. Like Scott B., Belin-duh S. and the others. It’s just that Joke Lark “The Kounter,” made it to the Top Chair long enough to gut the P.C. party from the inside.
Joke followed up on this sterling performance with his now-classic “oops, I miss-counted!” stand up comedy routine.
It proved so successful that it opened the door to let “Fuddle-duddling” Pierre “ZZAPP! I’m frozen!,” to come out of “retirement,” mount the podium again, and get back to the continued eviscerating of the Country and the treasury.
And who can forget Pete’s screwing Alberta and countless Alberta families into the floorboards with his National Energy Plan [a.k.a. rob the Alberta rubes blind, use the cash to buy Ontario and Quebec votes Plan.]?
I’m guessing that this is the Joke Lark to which you refer. He’s all your.
Thanks for the memories. Now, if you’ll just be so kind as to pass the Gravol, please.

great program you’ve got running. it just caught my double click/duplicate post. don’t feel like such a doofus. for a minute there I thought I had woken up as a Liberal doofus.
[...] Don Donovan feels that two former NDP Premiers are the worst offenders (Adrian also has a link to Donovan on Adler): …Here are more hard cold facts … Mr. Rae and Mr. Dosanjh are pretend Liberals looking for [...]
Liberals and MSM are hypocrites, both give Liberal MPs a free pass when they mess up but report a stupid nonsensical story about a rude MP for six weeks over and over.
Iggy seems detached as a leader, he appears content to allow the rabbit socialists to run the party as they please and the rest of the Lib MPs seem shell shocked.
