That cruel, libellous Stephen Harp...

...wait a minute...
• OTTAWA • Outspoken New Democrat MP Pat Martin is asking the public for money to defend himself against a lawsuit by RackNine, the Edmonton company he accused of being responsible for vote-suppressing robocalls in last year’s federal election.

Through the Pat Martin Legal Defence Fund website, the Winnipeg MP will try to raise $250,000.

In February, Martin accused RackNine CEO Matt Meier and the company of being behind the robocalls that saw voters misdirected to non-existent polling locations during the May 2011 election, denouncing “hundreds of thousands of phony phone calls by the RackNine rascals.”

...that sounds so familiar. Oh right... for all the media thunder & lightning... there has been ONE SINGLE CONVICTION...
The Liberal riding association in Guelph has been issued a $4,900 penalty by the federal broadcast regulator for sending out unsolicited robo-calls during the 2011 election campaign.
