Was There A Method Behind Rich Coleman's (Most Recent) Madness?

At the very least you've seen the headline...

Which is that Rich Coleman, to quote Andrew Wilkinson, drew 'parallels' between the holocaust and Dipperian legislation designed to protect the ALR that Mess'rs Coleman and Wilkinson, together with their best friends and influential donors, errrrr, uncles, did their best to dismantle.

However, given the way the proMedia works it's more likely you've heard/read/seen much more about the (mostly righteous) furor that followed.

And then, of course, there is the blanket coverage of the full apology that only came after Mr. Coleman first tried floating a non-apology apology that was savaged by pretty much everyone.

But, here's the thing...

How many proMedia stories have you seen since Thursday, when this all began on the floor of the Ledge, that are focussed on the recent re-kindling of the Casino-Industrial-Complex scandal in the wake of recent revelations regarding the coddling of the high rolling offshore whales?

If you get my drift.

Of course, as you might expect, the good Mr. Wilkinson didn't bother to mention that it was Mr. Coleman that generated this ridiculously non-parallel parallelogrammatic upside down cake..

Link to BC Legislature House Blues ... and Rich Coleman's assertions

R. Coleman: I rise to speak against this Bill 15. I'm going to go into a couple stories and some examples.

R. Coleman: I rise to speak against this Bill 15. I'm going to go into a couple stories and some examples. I find it difficult to talk to this bill, because I have been here for 23 years and have never seen a more bigoted piece of legislation come before this House. The fact that you'd take away people as people, and they're no longer persons in a piece of legislation….

Interjections.

Deputy Speaker: Members. Let's have one speaker on the floor, please.

R. Coleman: Particularly on a day like today…

Interjections.

Deputy Speaker: Members.

R. Coleman: On a day like today when we witnessed people whose rights were taken apart and away from them in the 1940s.

Interjections.

R. Coleman: If you want to listen to the debate….

Interjections.

R. Coleman: No, I'm not. I'm saying this is a bigoted piece of legislation, and I'm going to tell you why.

Salacious subversion from an intended succeeding storyline?

would say the boys have taken to the trump method of dealing with a mess, deflect, deflect, deflect.

Gee, our parental units told us what happened in the Netherlands in the 1940s and rest assured it wasn't anything like what was in the NDP's legislation. Perhaps some one could direct Coleman to me so I can convey what happened in my Grandfather's house, what happened to his family, where our Father wound up along with some family friends. Come to think of it, De Jong's parents are from the Netherlands and I'm sure his parents shared with him, what the Netherlands was like during the war.

its a good thing I didn't watch the news on Friday. I'm sure there are people in Vancouver who experienced the 1940s in Europe and could tell Coleman. If that doesn't work, there is a nice museum in L.A. that tells the whole story.

Having had a low opinion of Coleman for some years, this doesn't surprise me. He has truly lost his mind. Using this to deflect doesn't work. It just reminds some of us what a bunch of low lifes those B.C. Lieberals are.
