i would prefer an egging personally.

The far right are demented crazies.
Get all the far right and far left together out west of Mt Isa somewhere.

Unemployment will drop.

AFAIK Hanson has been very quiet since the massacre, and on that fool. It is after all her fault, and those who voted for her that anyone has even heard of that egghead, and that taxpayers are paying for him to fly around the country attending rallies with nazi sympathisers.
 
Have a listen to some of you.
Gee whiz.
The outright lefties on here are an embarrassment to all they wished they stood for.
Everyone who is not left is now a neo Nazi or something like that. The rhetoric is typical.
The actions by a criminal prick and a politician that no one voted for are not the view of middle holding people of Australia.
Hitting such a prick on the head with an egg when unexpected is also a pricks act. It really is a *smile* thing to do. He got belted for it so it need go no further.
Dont be so damn excited by or feel justified in your opinion because of a barbaric act. It is also a *smile* way to justify your standing.
 
So John Howard endorses the campaign of a bloke who forcebly sticks his *smile* into young boys mouths one week,

And gladys berejiklian's the next.

Thats a (typical) over exaggeration.
 
Mr Abbott seems to be changing his mind a lot lately. A man of his convictions :rofl

Must be an election coming up.

And not 'just' an election, it is one where there is another candidate who looks like they will, at the least, give him a good run.

Dang, it would be nice if all of the 'older, shouty, angry, white men' got the chop over this year...

I’m no “leftie” as you call it but am saddened by the behaviour of our leaders. And Anning is a bigoted fool that Bridget’s and others have rightly pointed out has been endorsed/supported in the past by liberals.

It’s embarrasing.

And, I reckon you’ll find there are many that tacitly support him.

I have not time for Islam (and religions in general ) but annings recent words are reprehensible.
 
What exactly about Anning's words do you find wrong MDJ? Labelling comments as reprehensible is not an argument. I think we are better served in times like this to resist emotional responses to things we don't like to hear and just focus on what we think is wrong with them argumentatively.

Right wing outrage is the new PC. Actually not so new, they've been doing it for years on Sky News.

Good to see ScoMo caught out in yet another lie in a press conference today - boy did he exit the room quickly.

Here is some of what he said.

“The truth is that Islam is not like any other faith. It is the religious equivalent of fascism. And just because the followers of this savage belief were not the killers in this instance, does not make them blameless.

“As we read in Matthew 26:52, ‘all that take the sword, shall perish by the sword’ and those who follow a violent religion that calls on them to murder us, cannot be too surprised when someone takes them at their word and responds in kind

Speaks for itself doesn’t it? They had it coming really.

I am no fan of Islam but less of anning and the groups he approves of and the policies he supports.

Hello Antman, I don't see sky news much, only when away from home, but the notion of it being outrage and a new PC is not what I see. There certainly is another point of view out there opposed to what the commercial channels don't entertain.
Such a shame that Shorten is the commercial channel option in the big game.
