Liberal Fundraising letter. Circa 1951

Uncovered from deep within the special archives:

Friend– Please donate now.

Help us uncover the truth. Canada’s reputation as a human rights champion is on the line. Let’s stop this travesty before Canada becomes a place we can’t recognize.

The Korean detainee scandal has the government’s spin machine on overdrive. First they said that the reports of prisoner abuse made last week had no credibility, and now we’ve learned that we have handed over prisoners to the Americans in spite of the fact that their commander, General Douglas MacArthur, was recently relieved of his command for reasons that are still unclear. Could they be related to prisoner abuse? We don't know but we need your help to find out.

With China now in the picture we are into an an entirely new war. Our detainee policy is in shambles and it is undermining Canada’s mission to bring democracy and respect for the rule of law to Korea. We owe it to our troops, our diplomats, and to Canada’s international reputation to find the truth about what happened. In times like these, no one can afford to sit on the political sidelines.

Your contribution of $5, $10 or $40 today will help the Liberal Party uncover the truth. Please give as generously as you are able.

Thank you,

National Director, Liberal Party of Canada

PS. Your donation right now is timely for the Christmas Season. What better gift than to make a donation on behalf of a loved one so we can smear the good reputation of our Canadian Armed Forces.

Friend–

Donate now. Help us uncover the truth. Canada’s reputation as a human rights champion is on the line. Let’s stop Stephen Harper before he makes Canada a place we can’t recognize.

The Afghan detainee scandal has the government’s spin machine on overdrive. First the Conservatives called Richard Colvin, the courageous public servant who testified about prisoner abuse at a parliamentary committee last week, a Taliban “dupe.” Now, we’ve learned that Mr. Colvin copied the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs on his warnings, suggesting that those at the highest levels of government were aware of the situation.

It’s textbook US Republican-style attack politics, except this time it’s undermining Canada’s mission to bring democracy and respect for the rule of law to Afghanistan. We owe it to our troops, our diplomats, and to Canada’s international reputation to find the truth about what happened. In times like these, no one can afford to sit on the political sidelines.

Your contribution of $25, $50 or $100 today will help the Liberal Party uncover the truth. Please give as generously as you are able.

Thank you,

Rocco Rossi
National Director, Liberal Party of Canada

PS. Your donation right now is timely for tax reasons, too. Political donations entitle you to a tax credit of up to 75 per cent. That means that the after-tax net cost of your $100 donation will be as little as $25. So please make a donation now and help the Liberal Party uncover the truth.

Is anyone shocked at the depravity from the LPOC?

Is anyone shocked how the MSM gives them a free ride?

Based on our own individual experiences with reading and responding to Liberal comments, is it such a stretch that the powers the be in the Liberal party were confident they would have a receptive audience to this pathetic plea for cash?

It must clearly be the mindset of the typical Liberal donor or they wouldn't do it, would they?

No, wallowing in muck is their collective badge of honor and they've done it so long,it doesn't wash off.
It's permeated the pores, flows through the blood and has embedded in the brain.

Notice they pretend to show concern about not recognizing Canada in 1951? This is a theme they use today.

The delicious irony is that in the 1951 letter the Libs dared to use the word Christmas. Was this one of the recognizing changes they had in mind? Apparently not!

Anonymous, you do know that the '51 letter is not real right?

Anonymous said...

Yes

But,I did want to point out that the authors reference to Christmas is quite accurate for a 1951 letter and how it would not be included today.

Play along a bit.

Apparently a lot of people actually believed that Sarah Palin actually thought that she could see Russia from her house.

The audacity of the LPOC has no bounds; Sounds like desperate measures from a desperate party. Have they ever stop to think that maybe the reason the LPOC is in freefall is because of three very weak leaders, and one corrupt leader.

Ignatieff Liberals backward looking and totally backward LOSERS
