Hughes responds
The Canadian Jewish Congress seems to have assumed that I am one of those who subscribe to a bizarre conspiracy theory that the world’s Jews were responsible for 9-11, a ludicrous idea I have never supported. As a result of the Congress’s assumption, I have been slandered as an odious anti-Semite, a claim accepted by the prime minister, by the leader of the opposition, and the nation’s media. I have also been labelled an extremist nutbar who has promoted, rather than investigated, the possibility that 9-11 was an inside job. lesley hughes, canadian dimensionActually, Lesley, you can thank M. Dion and his war room for the anti-Semitism slur. Apparently, when they became aware of your article they immediately labeled it as anti-Semitic and sought advice from the CJC (knowing full well that the CJC was unlikely to be anything other than anti even the smallest hint of anti-Semitism.) You were done the instant the call was made.
That said, it was not just a single article. You appeared with Troothers on a number of public occasions. Given that your name appears in the Troother’s publicity material it is a pretty clear that you have gone beyond the “just asking questions” stage. Something which, frankly, needed to be exposed to the voters of Kildonan-St. Paul.
At a guess, M. Dion underbussed (thanks Kathy) you because he has enough troubles without being asked to defend the off the wall views of a candidate in an unwinnable riding.
Who benefits - M. Dion.
