Trolling Tories

The esteemed Calgary Grit had the good grace to turn his blog over to Liberal leadership candidate Carolyn Bennett for some guest blogging. Carolyn Bennett had the guts to guest blog.
The tory trolls had the weaselyness (is that a word) to destroy any use that may of come out of this by attacking Bennett's entire political career. From Hep C to the vote on Afganistan they ripped into her with vitriol and loathing.

I doubt the good Dr Bennett will be inclined to take any further guest blogging offers and I really doubt any other candidates will follow her lead. I do realize that she mostly did it to drive people to her own site but it was an interesting idea, too bad the trolling tories latched onto it.

The question becomes will it be worth it for any other candidates to follow suite. If you want to reach out to the blog world then it is a good idea. Given the ability of the TT's to completly hijack the thread why bother.

The other amazing thing is the real anger and hatred that came spewing out of their mouths, wow.
She is no matter what, a former cabinet minister and the nastyness that came across from these brave titans of the keyboard was amazing. Not one of them will ever stand for public office but they are all willing to ask loaded, stupid questions.
