Free market propaganda machine

My column in yesterday's Toronto Sun condemning big government led a certain Rich Murri to write the following letter to the editor:

Re "Bailout bozos" (Gerry Nicholls, July 7): Isn't the writer a close adviser to Stephen Harper? Is he not from the far right wing of the National Citizen's Coalition, a right-wing, anti-union, anti-regulation, free-market propaganda machine? Shouldn't these so-called columns be called by their real name: right-wing political advertising?

It's been a long time since a left-winger attacked me like that -- feels good.

Bit of a change from being attacked for being a true conservative by Conservatives, isn't it.

Good work Gerry. See you at LSS.
I 'll have to metion to the people at the PMO that you are a close advisor. They don't seem to be listening to you. Pity.

LMAO.... who was this idiot... If anything you're article was critical of the Harper admin for falling into Obomamania which was rampant about 6 months ago but rapidly cooling since the stimulous is falling flat...

but to quote our opposition leader and how it will relate to those south of our border indirectly "he can wear this recession"
