OTTAWA, February 8, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Expect nasty rhetoric by the Liberal Leadership to be on the rise. A Compas poll, commissioned by the National Post and Global Television last week advised the Liberals that if they wish to come out victorious in the public eye on the gay ‘marriage’ battle, they must paint their opponents as being motivated by "homophobia" and "bigotry".
“The main opportunity for gain by the Liberals would depend on their ability to persuade the electorate that Conservative opposition to proposed legislation is rooted primarily in homophobic attitudes,” say the pollsters. The report adds, “The Liberals may ultimately benefit from the issue if they are able to put the issue behind them and also succeed in portraying the Conservative opposition to same-sex as motivated by bigotry.”
Interestingly, the poll suggests a clear majority perceives criticisms of church involvement in the issue by public figures such as Hon. Pierre Pettigrew as a threat to free speech. It appears the threat of the legislation to freedom of religion resonates with Canadians.
