Christie Blatchford the scowling munchkin

January 5, 2010 by Dirk 

Well look at her ,you tell me what she reminds ya of…

Particularly when you put that face beside the articles she wrote regarding the Caledonia land-claim.  Articles designed to do one thing, pump up the already rampant anti-Mohawk /Indigenous feelings around this issue ,and in Canada in general.

Silly me,and I thought the purpose of the media when covering highly emotive issues,was not to add fuel to the fire further inflaming emotions, but to provide the facts  so as to explain the underlying causes.

You know so reader can make an informed opinion.

The latest from the blathering munchkin,hopefully the last we will have to bear. Talks about  the   “suffering” of a white couple at the hands of the “lawless Indians”,and how their “suffering” is finally over.

“The shit we’ve seen out these windows and doors,”

I feel for ya brother,I can just picture the “dancing savages full of blood-lust”,and right outside your window !

The fact they bought a house on land that was in dispute (going back not years,but decades), from a developer (Henco-since bought out by the government) who knew this,is besides the point. In fact the developer was warned by Six Nations leaders that if they went ahead and developed the site, the chance for trouble was quite likely.

Damn them Indian…

Also according to the munchkin, “there’s  one law for  Indians and one for the rest of us”,surely she jest’s ?

After all it’s not like white people grabbed all the land,only 99%…what’s another 40 hectares here and there ? Damn “law-less Indians” ,will they ever be satisfied ?

Christie…if your reading this may I suggest a different hair-dresser,dang.

Update : Apparently my hope that this would be the last from the blathering munchkin was a bit premature…

On she blathers this time round,of … “unprecedented tales of fear and distress”.

O my goodness what did those “Indians” do now…yawn, time for my nap.

I wonder if she will ever be able to  figure out the real story behind Caledonia ,i.e Six Nations people are the real victims ,yes a handful of white people were caught up in the middle ?  Blame the government not the Six Nations  people. That said it should also not be forgotten, that  many other citizens openly sided with the developers against their neighbors. Many of whom used  the opportunity to express just what they thought, about those “Indians”. San  facts,reasonableness or respect.

The highly charged atmosphere that surrounds many  out-standing land claims,  is a direct consequence of  decades of government inaction and  a total unwillingness to show leadership. Or even talk with Indigenous Peoples, before things have a chance to go sideways.

So if you happen to be reading this Christie,write about that injustice,write about the  suffering & distress of the real victims here,Indigenous Peoples.

    Munchkin? Too cute for Blatchford.

    That scrunched-up, cranky, grumpy face is move evocative of gremlins.

    Does she write about anything but brave and innocent white people being horribly mistreated by brutal and scheming dark people? Between her and Margaret Wente the Globe and Mail seems like a KKK women’s auxiliary meeting some days.

    Mark Kelly did a fair report (I thought) with Mr. and Mrs. Montour on Connect this week. We need more of that–helping people understand both sides.It should be an opportunity for the press to educate the public on land claims. Right? But, no. If it bleeds–it leads. And if it confuses and divides? Mission accomplished.

    Yes I saw that interview,not bad I suppose…when you put it beside most of the crap coverage Indigenous Peoples/issues get.

    [...] Margret Wente then Christie Blatchford and now Gary Mason, although to be fair the Mason piece is  not quite as bad. None-the-less his [...]
