I've been thinking a lot about this 'Christian Activist' thing in the Globe. It's carefully worded, but it's a controversial piece because of its subject matter. Religion - politics. It's a tricky subject. I started to feel bad about giving Gloria Galloway a hard time. It might have been poor judgement to offend a whole segment of society, but certainly there couldn't have been a political motivation -- it's not like she's one of those 'Liberal cheerleaders' Harper dislikes so much.
I was doing a search for something else, and I came across this-- I'd forgotten all about it.
Do you remember this from last year:

Liberal MPs shocked by party's election tactic
Canadian Press
OTTAWA — . . . (devout) Liberal MPs were horrified to discover their party last month commissioned a pre-election poll asking Ontarians if they'd be more or less likely to vote for the Conservatives if they knew the party had been "taken over by evangelical Christians."
It took an extra year, but they finally managed to get the word out on this. I wonder did they pay Galloway for sniffing out this scoop, or was it on the promise of some future consideration. Senate? Not senate.
Naw, some people don't even need inducement to show lack of principle.
Cheers,

I was wondering if the Liberals take their cue from the Globe or Vis-Versa.
It goes both ways I quess. I'd sure like to get my hands on some phone records.
I'm very surprised that story made it to press. They usually don't.
As we know, after that story ran the Liberals stepped it up and it worked. The other MSM outlets didn't let blatent hypocracy get in their way.
Damn, Canadianna, I had forgotten about this. Thanks for the reminder.
