Left Behind
I'm watching Coach's Corner and Grapes just said that Michael Coren is "left-wing".
Michael Coren is an evangelical Christian. He is pro-life, anti-gay and defines himself as a social conservative. He has written that the Crusades and Inquisition weren't so bad and suggested last year that the U.S. should nuke Iran.
Mr. Coren and I would probably disagree about every single thing in this world except for one: he is definitely not left-wing.
Part of me suspects that Don Cherry does not actually know what "left-wing" means. The way he uses the term leads me to believe that his definition reads something like this:
Left Wing
-Noun
1. People who disagree with Don Cherry
2. Europeans, Homosexuals, Media-types
It is also possible (or, very likely) that Grapes has no idea who Michael Coren is, or that he thought he was talking about Michael Moore or Michael Lewis or some other person who could actually be considered "left-wing".
However, if Grapes does know who Michael Coren is...well...that is terrifying.

Every term is relative. Unfortunately, even though everything you say is true, Coren could (and may) still be "left wing" as compared to Grapes. What's terrifying is that both of those idiots have a platform to trumpet their views on TV.
I'm glad you wrote on this, this was definitely a double take moment.. I remember Michael Coren from Frank magazine (and their bashing on him thereof) and was a little boggled by Grapes' assertion. I'm just happy I didn't hallucinate the whole thing, like I must have hallucinated the Leafs managing to stave off a 3rd period collapse..

don't forget:
3. Guy who lines up beside centre. Like Bobby Schmautz - forget Kovalwhoever, I'd go to war* with Schmautzie anytime
