If I Had A Subscription To The Edmonton Journal .. I Would Cancel It

"But surely, surely, we have advanced to the point where every one knows former Harper aide Thomas Flanagan wasn't serious when he mused darkly about an assassination of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange."
The Edmonton Journal

Excuse me??! Would the Editorial Board of the Edmonton Journal please explain how 'every one knows' that Flanagan's murderous proclamation was not serious? If Mr. Flanagan joked about a bomb in his shorts at the Edmonton Airport, should we expect the security guards to merely laugh and slap good old Tom Flanagan on the back for being such a funny joker? NO! He would have been arrested on the spot and charged.

Piss off you Right wing idiots!
