Here's where this nugget of popular quantification began, apparently. Lest we forget, these are former Bush supporters chatting. We here will figure this out soon enough. Here's hoping!

I can re-order the slurs to suit the occasion -- perhaps "pakis" should be first for the Tamil event someone mentioned?

Watch the movie Amalie. That is the origin. Amalie, who has a troubled relationship with her father, torments him by stealing his garden gnome and then having a friend carry it around the world and send back photos.
Amélie (French: Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (French pronunciation: [lə.fa.by.lø.dɛs.tɛ̃.da.me.li.puˈlɛ̃]); The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain) is a 2001 romantic comedy film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Written by Jeunet with Guillaume Laurant, the film is a whimsical depiction of contemporary Parisian life, set in Montmartre. It tells the story of a shy waitress, played by Audrey Tautou, who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while struggling with her own isolation. The film was an international co-production between companies in France and Germany. Grossing over $33 million in limited theatrical release, it is still the highest-grossing French-language film released in the United States.[SUP][4] ...
[/SUP]The film met with critical acclaim and was a major box-office success. Amélie won Best Film at the European Film Awards; it won four César Awards (including Best Film and Best Director), two BAFTA Awards (including Best Original Screenplay), and was nominated for five Academy Awards. A Broadway adaptation is in development.[SUP][5]

Amélie secretly executes complex schemes that affect the lives of those around her. ... She persuades her father to follow his dream of touring the world by stealing his garden gnome and having a flight attendant friend airmail pictures of it posing with landmarks from all over the world.
I’m encouraged that so many posters think that the selfies and Kardashian crew won’t amount to much in voter support. So now what about the “25% support†factor, visibly Ford Nation or not?
This streak of nastiness is a bit of concern. Yes, AFAIK, about 25% of the population has IQs of less than 90. But correlation doesn’t equal causation.
Yes Chow=notFord and Tory=notChow+notFord(maybe), but that’s not the same thing either.
I’ve always believed that while Toronto has a certain politeness, which includes a slight standoffish-but-sincere quality, the potential for divisive nastiness has been there for a long time. Toronto wants to be New York, is expensive and has just as much attitude as New York; it just displays it differently.
From other peoples’ experiences living in other cities, is this 25% Neanderthal Nasty segment unique to Toronto? Or do you think other cities possess a similar sort of population segment?
Rob Ford does not use the term GAAAAAYS. He uses the term "faggot". (which is how he referred to Justin Trudeau)
Nope; sorry. As a gay man, I was highly offended by his tone of voice in the March 5th rant when he said Hudaaacckhh had lost his support because Timmy agreed with the "gaaaaays" about the rainbow flag & Sochi issue. It was a sneering tone of total disdain. Every non-straight person who heard him was disgusted and offended.

ford up with the lies!
toronto has been robbed!
We can't afford four more years
he robbed the cookie jar
I think the gnome prank pre-dates that movie by at least a decade. I know I'd seen stories about people doing it long before Amelie.
Yes, it's Don Peat.
What a world-class scowl.
