Teacher:In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: identity-attack and non-identity-attack. Identity attack refers to anything rude or disrespectful about someone's identity, including appearance, race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Comment: No -But the hope is evidently to sling mud until some of it sticks and then if that doesn't work ,try to make voters believe that politicians are all the same (they are not).

Voter suppression was behind many of the attacks on Obama and later Clinton and was a key Karl Rove ploy as well. It was also behind the changes the Conservatives made to restrict voting .

The hope on the part of the Globe seems to be that if they are unsuccessful in this campaign to make people believe that Trudeau is a crook. they can at least get people disgusted with politicians in general which will make them less likely to vote- which is good for their preferred party.

It is too bad that in this Bob Fife seems to have lost his way and has been tweeting out vile stuff
that make him look like an internet troll.

Some of the mud that is being slung will blow back on those that are doing the slinging.

Non-identity-attack
