Within less than ten minutes of posting the Ignatieff immigrant family item, exaro received an anonymous comment (they are always afraid to admit their identity) stating it's Michael Ignatieff's fault because he brought it up first. Hmm - just as instructed by party central:1
"Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are invoking the defence of “he brought it up first” to explain why they so aggressively attacked Michael Ignatieff’s family history. In a memo circulated Monday to supporters and MPs,
Tory strategists explain why they sent out a three-page memo to reporters questioning the Liberal Leader’s account of how his father came to Canada as an immigrant and why that same information was published on a Conservative-backed website."

Wow! They can generate three pages to tell journalists and MPs how to respond to a 2 minute video but they can't produce information demanded by the House of Commons. I guess they are too busy orchestrating the ad hominem attacks.
Because deleting the predictable and unsigned drivel from the conservative machinery is becoming noisome, comments have been turned-off, at least until after the anticipated housecleaning. Apologies to conservative minions who will be unable to execute their dear leader's orders.
