People who live in glass houses…

… shouldn’t run attack ads.

I was just over on the Gazette’s site and I saw a banner ad for StephenHarperSaid.ca, an attack website run by the Liberal camp against the Conservative leader. (Note that the Harper camp has lowered itself to the same level by launching TeamMartinSaid.ca against the Libs.)

Anyway, the banner ad included a sentence that reads: For the whole quote, it’s source and context, visit StephenHarperSaid.ca.

It’s.

Yes, I make lots of spelling errors too. But this is my personal site. I were funding an ad to appear on major websites, and wanted to make myself look good and my opponent look bad, I might consider using a spell check…

Just a suggestion.

    The proof-reading budget probably went to some Grit slush fund…

    Spell check wouldn’t catch that. Familiarity with the English language would.

    I wonder if they hired some of my seminar students.
