Even Better Quote of the Day
It wasn't love that was visiting Calgary last weekend.
Swastikas and slogans including “kill Jews” and “6 million more” were spray-painted on a Holocaust War Memorial, the Calgary Jewish Centre and mailboxes, signs and fences in the southwest neighbourhoods of Pump Hill and Woodbine overnight Saturday.
Now the local police have to decide if these are hate crimes.
Hm...touch one.
Well, let's give them a little hint,
It ain't an MGM musical, kids.
However, the best response came from Stephen Harper:
“Anti-Semitism is a disease of the soul; its odious manifestations, in any form and however rare, can never be tolerated in Canada.”

Is this part of Harper's,
get ready, election coming, let me show off my compassionate side speech? Just don't ask about single women. Except in Afghanistan...
According to my dictionary, Omar Khadr would be a Semite, too.
The Omar K. remark is so terribly clever, you should remain anonyomous.
I think calling Harper on anything connected to this story is VERY cynical. I believe he speaks from the heart on this issue.
As for the spray-paint incident it's self, my only hope for whom ever did it is that they are young and dumb and really have no idea of the scope and meaning behind their act.
Having given them a sliver of a benefit of a doubt, of course the police should move forward with a hate crime charge.
