Breaking news: Rob Ford has said some offensive things in the past

1. Actually, a lot of people I’ve spoken with seem blissfully unaware of Rob Ford’s past, they just hear his cheesy “clean up City Hall” schtick and think it sounds like a good idea (which it is, but Ford’s not the guy to do it). It’s hilarious that Ford’s minions are freaking out about the site… these are Ford’s own words, on the record, so what have they got to be embarrassed about? Their candidate? Uh… yeah.

2. I’m with Smitherman, but I don’t think he’s going to get any of this to stick to Ford. His supporters don’t care if he mis-speaks, they’re only concerned with cutting waste at City Hall and that is Ford’s whole campaign.

   I think Smitherman is harming himself more than Ford here. Really doesn’t help the furious George image. I’ve called his campaign office to offer my 2 cents and been rebuffed. Still with George, but not as optimistic about his chances…

3. And technically Rob Ford is right. Sorry to all of you politically correct Limousine Liberals but most people who get aids are gay or drug users and that is a fact (Lord strike me down for giving the straight goods!). And he is also correct in saying that Orientals are hard working people (Oooooooo, bad word shame on me.) The only one who should be embarassed is the losing George Slitherman who has nothing to say. Billion Dollar Bonehead.

4. I agree most Torontonians don’t yet know Rob Ford well and learning of these outrageous and transparently bigoted comments from Ford’s recent past will hopefully frame Ford in his true light. Ford’s a simple-minded bigot governed by nothing except far-right ideology and prejudice. He’d be a disaster for the city. As a cyclist, I’m completely disturbed someone like Ford believes I deserve to die simply because I get on my bicycle. Most voters don’t follow municipal politics closely like the editors of this magazine do, so this website by Smitherman is fair game and will hopefully educate some of the voters currently leaning toward Ford’s simplistic message.

5. That George Smitherman. Such a class act.

6. Anyone who believes Rob Ford’s comments that the only people who get AIDS are NOT straight men and women (and women only get it if they’re sleeping with bisexual men) are not only ignorant and small-minded but dangerous in their thinking. This is the 21st Century not 1985 and no excuse for such bigoted views.

7. SW…there are no words for your ignorance. Wow.

8. Ron Ford wanted to close down places like Birchmount Residence and other homeless shelters. When I explained to him that places like Seaton House and Birchmount are the last resort for a lot of guys and there are no other places that will take these guys, he said I don’t care we are closing them down. Good thing that failed or we would be tripping over homeless alcoholics in the street.

9. Sorry I meant ROB Ford.
