Pity poor Elizabeth May! According to her party's most recent newsletter, "from time to time, Greens are unfairly attacked in the media. Facts can be misunderstood or twisted, statements may be taken out of context and untruths may be spoken. Whatever the case may be, it's important that we set the record straight by responding right away. Some recent examples were the May-Dion accord, Elizabeth's decision to run in Central Nova and the abortion controversy." As a result, the Greens are "building a team of volunteers to help write letters to the editor, make calls to phone-in radio shows, email comments to TV news programs and write comments on websites and blogs." Of course, Ms. May bears no responsibility whatsoever for any of the recent controversies that have dogged the Greens. It's all the fault of headline writers, right?
David Basi could provide some pointers

Just wait until she has to deal with every Green Party wingnut who openly states what they believe in. The Kevin Potvin statement will pale in comparison.
What they really need is a team of volunteers to vet their candidates... and a leader that can that avoid proving Godwin's law.
