EKOS Research chief calls for ‘culture war’ on those racist, homophobic Westerners … Frank Graves, founder and President of EKOS Research, financially supports the Liberal Party and provides them free strategic advice on how to create a “culture war” against the West using divisive wedge politics. “I told them that they should invoke a culture war. Cosmopolitanism versus parochialism, secularism versus moralism, Obama versus Palin, tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Alberta dont like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin.” – Frank Graves, President, EKOS Research Meanwhile, the Liberal Party has taken Graves’ advice and now accuses the Harper government of a “culture of deceit”. The CBC has been favouring EKOS polls in recent months, notably featuring blatant push-polls driving the anti-prorogation agenda, prompting Evan Solomon to deny CBC’s bias. Are taxpayers paying EKOS Research to shill for the Liberal Party?
