I Was Misquoted

Can you misquote yourself? Apparently according to Craig Chandler.Of course a little bit of careful post blog editing helps too.

Here is his original post;

"Alberta is growing in a way that was never expected and many of the people coming here do not truly appreciate Alberta or even understand the history of this province or the relationship with the Alberta Progressive Conservative party. To those of you who have come to our great land from out of province, you need to remember that you came to our home and we vote conservative. You came here to enjoy our economy, our natural beauty and more. This is our home and ... If you wish to live here, you must adapt to our rules and our voting patterns or leave. Conservatism is our culture. Do not destroy what we have created."


And here is his revision.

Alberta is growing in a way that was never expected and many of the people coming here do not truly appreciate Alberta or even understand the history of this province or the relationship with small 'c' conservatism. To those of you who have come to our great land from out of province, you need to remember that you came here to our home and we vote conservative (meaning Social Credit, Alberta Alliance, Wildrose or the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party). You came here to enjoy our economy, our natural beauty and more. This is our home and if you wish to live here, you must adapt to our rules and our voting patterns, or leave. Conservatism is our culture. Do not destroy what we have created.


However since Chandler is a historical revisionist, like others of his ilk, who would have us believe Alberta has always been a conservative bastion. When exposed they revise their stories.

Like he did by saying Link Byfield endorsed him as a candidate for Egmont, implying he did so as a Director of the Wild Rose Party, when in fact it is a quote from the past prior to the creation of the Wild Rose Party.

And of course he accuses those who expose his bigotry of being Liberals.

"The reality is that I have now signed up more members to the Alberta PC Party in Calgary-Egmont than the Liberals had votes in the last election in this area. Calgarians will decide who gets elected, not a well-known Liberal journalist from Edmonton."
Whether they are or not since it's an assertion with no evidence just like his assertion that the majority of Albertans are conservatives.
