OTTAWA, January 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - It has been confirmed that a call which came in to a televised all candidates forum Tuesday falsely accusing Conservative incumbent MP Maurice Vellacott of sexual assault, was made from the campaign office of Liberal candidate Chris Axworthy. After LifeSiteNews.com broke the story yesterday ( here: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/jan/06011901.html ), a flurry of mainstream media pressure forced Saskatoon Shaw Cable to allow a reporter from the local paper, the Star Phoenix, to view the tape of the program.

On the tape a caller can be heard asking Vellacott "Were you also removed from (a local church) because you were charged with sexual assault on your secretary?" Shaw Cable also confirmed that the number where the slanderous call originated was (306) 956-2570 - the main phone number of Axworthy's campaign office.

Axworthy, once assured that the call display did in fact finger his office, issued an apology but included with it his (conspiracy) theory suggesting some troublemaker had snuck into his campaign office to make the slanderous phone call.

Axworthy said he would launch an investigation and ensure that if the slander was committed by a Liberal staffer, the individual would be removed from the campaign.

For his part, Vellacott said that he is used to sleazy campaign tactics, but that this attack was completely over the top.

Hear audio of the call:

I've been watching this one closely as I live here in Saskatchewan now and it's front page news here.

The biggest thing that got me was Axworthy's denial; first it's not his camp, now this "conspiracy" theory of an outsider sneaking in.

Give it up already.

   

This little episode is the Liberal campaign in a nutshell. Nevermind the attempted smear for a sec. They're trying to smear a CPC , but they don't have to wit to use a pay phone or a non-caller ID phone, not to mention calling from hte campaign office.

Sad.

   

Old news,

YAWN!

   

No xerxes, it goes well beyond a campaign and epitomizes the rule of both Chretien and Martin.

   

Taking lessons from Hwacker are we?

   

Old news? Story broke Friday.

Old news would be Paul Martin as Prime Minister.

   

Vellacott is a radical right wing christian SOB.

This homophobe supports the murderers on the Saskatoon Police Force.

I feel sorry for Axworthy because he is an honest guy and I don't believe he, Jim Madden or even Maurice are the stupid enough to pull a move like that from their constituency office.

It was probably some over zealous Liberal supporter who got carried away. Whoever did it should be punished and should be apologizing to us all.

   

Can you post without bringing that up?

   

Yes I can.

Maurice is a homophobe. He also supports murderers.

I would say supporting murderers is not very christian. But I don't know. You tell me.

   

You have any proof of that?

   

He supported the defense of the police officers who murdered the Aboriginal kid by beating him and driving him out of town and leaving him there to freeze to death......

He was trying to get them re-instated or something......

As for homophobe.....he's against same sex marriage isn't he?

   

Like I said do you have any proof?

   

Its not really a secret.

   

of which? that he is against same sex marriage or that he supported the cops?

Yes there is proof, someone posted a quote or a link about it yesterday but I don't know what thread its in......
