The media have always run to NDP MP Pat Martin for a juicy over-the-top quote and have given him way too much exposure because of it but this time that exposure does him in.
Martin shows exactly what type of person he really is on CBC’s Power and Politics and no one could possibly defend this clown ever again after today’s despicable performance. (see here)

[…] Martin is in dire need of some adult […]
March 7, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Yup, coalition of losers cabinet material,
for sure. Martin and Mulcair.

Evan Solomon kept interrupting Candice Hoeppner while letting that loud mouthed idiot Pat Martin just spew and spew and spew. Not only that, you can see at about 10:45 that he is actually egging him on.
“It’s out and out theft”……..”You conspired to defraud the Elections Act.
And he said that outside of the safety of Parliament.
I hope they nail this ******* to the wall now.

‘I hope they nail this ******* to the wall now.’
Are you nuts Michael, he is part of the coalition-the untouchable territory. No media NOT even Kady would make the mistake of attacking him.
But wait, I hear the media bitching all over Bev for the word ‘NOT’.
The conservatives are the opposition coalition and the media’s ‘punching bag’

Nail his scabby hide to the wall.

And CBC “At Issue” said” the Conservative party hang women out to dry.”
I noticed it wasn’t on MANSBRIDGES THE NATONAL tonight. If that was a Conservative acting like that, with a LIBERAL woman ,it would be BREAKING NEWS. Not shown, in case someone wants to check out what Candice Hophner had to say ,about other parties In & Out on the internet.
The segment was supposed to be shown with the CBC PANEL…two panels no clip repeat. All we saw was two clips of Mays FREE advertising of HER attack ads against the Govt. Figures. Kanada LIBERAL CBC style.

Pat (“lying his ass off”) Martin is a disgraceful bully!! Good thing Martin wasn’t anywhere near Candice, cause he looks like he would have gotten violent. What a creep! Martin likes bullying woman, I wonder if he would like to try bullying me. I doubt it, because most bullies are cowards. Martin is a seriously unhinged individual and if he had even a modicum of integrity he would apologize to Miss. Hoeppner. Soloman encouraging Martin and egging him on shows what a low life he is as well. Goodale is a blowhard that sounds exactly like what a brussel sprout would sound like, if a brussel sprout could talk. Sorry but nothing makes me angrier then a cowardly bully!! What hideous , vile despicable behaviour. Shameful!

After watching much more than I should of these network TV dramas, I was shocked by Martin’s performance today. Clearly the winner in the debate was Ms. Hoeppner, no matter where the truth lies in this arcane legal wrangle.
Canadian women seeing this vile bullying of a Conservative backbencher cannot be impressed by the antics of this NDP
stalwart. This over the top rhetoric implies that an election must be coming soon. Conservative appeal to women voters can only be enhanced by this crude performance.

Don’t forget he also likes to bully religious organizations, especially Christians/Catholics.
March 7, 2011 at 9:14 PM
It’s because of Dippers like Pat Martin that the NDP remains out on the fringes, polling between 13-18%.
The only way the NDP will EVER get into government is with a desperate Liberal party handing it to them in a coalition of losers.
March 7, 2011 at 10:20 PM
Classy or what?
March 7, 2011 at 11:02 PM
psycho………….! and so is his buddy, Thomas Mulcair
March 8, 2011 at 4:28 AM
Hoeppner made Pat Martin look like an idiot, that is all anyone will be taking away from that. She is one disciplined politician, and for that we should be very proud. Martin wouldn’t have had the balls to say that to a male, and he didn’t like it one little bit that she wouldn’t back down.
March 8, 2011 at 5:25 AM
Quite frankly, as someone who has been involved in politics for a long time, I cannot ever remember such a disgraceful display. Perhaps Martin is on medication as it is difficult to understand his behavior otherwise. His thuggish demeanor reveals his background.
March 8, 2011 at 6:16 AM
I watched that segment on Power and Politics yesterday while channel surfing with CTV and missed some of it. One thing that really got to me was how angry he was and it struck me that he may have issues that people should be very afraid of. I notice this with Mulcair as well. I think with Mulcair that this may be an act, but not with Martin.
March 8, 2011 at 6:19 AM
This event obviously did not happen.
Do an internet search on it. No Media outlet picked it up. CBC is not mentioning it.. Globe and Mail , NP, Star and even SUN media.
I can understand that no one watches CBC but this is ridiculous.
March 8, 2011 at 6:32 AM
Yep Pat Martin proved once again he”s not fit to be a MP no wonder with him and Thomas Mulclair threating Brian Lilly it shows maybe Taliban Jack that his stay in the hospital should be a permanent one
March 8, 2011 at 6:50 AM
If I were a Conservative MP I’d be talking to a libel lawyer, he’s not protected from slander sitting in some CBC booth. I’m appalled that he’s even in office.
March 8, 2011 at 7:25 AM
CPAC right now has the Coalition wanting to use the HOC to smear Conservatives under the protection of the house, on the 2006 In & Out……point of order going on….sickening how far these dispicable opposition members will go. Worth watching to see this smear show they are asking to go forward on.
March 8, 2011 at 8:26 AM
[…] MP Thomas Mulcair was competing with his buddy Pat Martin yesterday (see here) to see who was the biggest ass in the NDP […]

Bullying in schools is not acceptable but it is on the hill ?? Abuse against women is a crime except when the NDP do it ? If all politicions were as compassionate as Candice Hoeppner the world would certainly be a better place . She shines like a star .
March 8, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Hoeppner did a great job dealing with such an ass
March 8, 2011 at 11:24 AM
yes I really loved when his rudity made her giggle 🙂
March 19, 2011 at 5:42 AM
[…] than Minister Oda, who should be hanging his head in shame today. This is not the first time he has unleashed his foul mouth on a female Conservative MP and I’m sure it won’t be his […]

[…] There are a lot of us that will never forget who the real Pat Martin is no matter how many buttons he gives away (see here). […]
