<< TOO WHITE ~ MAIN ~ READING CAPTAIN RYAN >>
NATIONAL HEALING CONTINUES
Disagree with Kevin Rudd’s apology? Then you’re a Nazi klansman, according to Labor lapdancer Simon Webster:
Dozens of ordinary decent Australians in pointy white hats demanded Rudd say sorry for saying sorry. The Sorry Sorry campaign will be called the SS for short, which is quite handy because many campaigners already own uniforms bearing those initials.
Speaking of extremists who like dressing up in bizarre nationalistic outfits, John Howard was the only living former prime minister not at Parliament House on Wednesday.
In other comical Rudd news, Labor staffer Lachlan Harris cannot bring himself to use the words “back” or “turn”.
UPDATE. “I’d like to move a motion that we no longer wear the pointy white hats,” writes Infidel Tiger. “It appears they are an object of ridicule. I’m happy to keep the jack boots, but we will put it to a show of ‘Sieg Heils’.”
Maybe more people would have agreed with the apology if Kevni’s Krew had released the text of the apology and what it entailed beforehand.
I know that I would certainly never agree with something a Government does without being informed first, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels that way.
Not to mention that many people would prefer action over symbolism.
From Whitlam symbolically and meaninglessly handing some dirt to an Aborigine, to Paul Keating mindlessly reading a Don Watson speech in Redfern, the ALP has always used Aborigines for ideological purposes. The Australian left are the true racists and they’re continuing this ignoble tradition now by piggy-back riding the “stolen generation(s)” in their charge against the only real Australian evil they’re worried about: John Howard.
Unlike those former-PMs present, John Howard wasn’t personally responsible for many of the alleged incidents which Kevin Rudd was apologising for.
It amazes me how people will attack John Howard for not “saying sorry” to the stolen generation, but give Gough Whitlam a free pass for everything that actually happened under his government.
Simon’s a hoot, ain’t he? Bet he gets all the young radicals a twittering over double decaf soy lattes when he bestows some of his pearls upon them.
Funnily enough I recall Kruddy and anyone else who came within range of a microphone equivocating, prevaricating and duplicitously dodging any mention of the word “sorry”, particularly in the light that previous legal advice that the use of same would constitute an admission of liability.
Personally I’m sorry there’s so many thick bastards in this country who think a federal election is another episode of Big Brother, and the little spekky twat and his loud obnoxious partner need a sympathy vote because everyone else must hate them.
If you get the government you deserve, we must really be c**ts then.
BTW- I must admit to being impressed by Wayne Swan’s performance in question time today, blindly groping for something to say despite apparently knowing nothing about his portfolio or anything else fically related, then for some reason giving a promo for an episode of Four Corners. I predict a bright future for him inspecting the parliamentary poopers for goldfish, ably assisted by some of the boffier members of her Majesty’s loyal opposition.

Dozens? OMG it’s a takeover!
Thank goodness - and the Labor party - that these neo-Nazi
theatrical attention-seekerstypical representatives of mainstream conservatism are outnumbered by Islamistenduring and committed extremistsmessengers for peace and god’s law, or we’d have something to worry about!And Fairfax just keeps the colossal fuckwits coming. Is there a single moron left in the country that doesn’t have a column in either the SMH or Age?
That pile of unsold Ages at Starbucks just gets taller every day. Even at 50c the public are avoiding it like Candirú.
Still there is hope for leftards like him, he even mentions it in his article.
The bit at the bottom about sex robots.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2008 02 18 at 03:25 AM • permalinkAh yes…simple Simon playing the race card just like all of his little lefty mates just because some (albeit a major portion) of the adult populace decided not to take part in the wallow fest.
Interesting to read the nutjob comments from the lefty academic world that the day will be remembered as the same as when Armstrong landed on the moon. Wishful thinking to the power of 100.
Meanwhile in the real world, decent ordinary Australians got on with their lives and simple Simon cannot comprehend that action via tough love will always triumph over pathetic, puerile appeasement. Sadly, it looks like Krudd is going to favour latter over the former.
I’d like to move a motion that we no longer wear the pointy white hats. It appears they are an object of ridicule. I’m happy to keep the jack boots, but we will put it to a show of “Sieg Heils”.

See how Swan’s impersonation(? or for real?) of a goose today in the BIG HOUSE isnt in the news, but St Kevin is considering a double dissolution cos the naughty Opposition want to actually oppose some of the “new IR Laws” Gillard is thrusting upon us all as her right
Boy I bet the men run a mile from now on Julia you a re NOT NICE to KNOW,way TOOO ballsy!

Really? Does he have documentary evidence, or is this, what was that word again, oh yes, libel.
#4 C.L. Yes, the Labor party is indeed the party of racists in Australia. Whenever someone brings up the long-defunct White Australia policy we should take the opportunity to point out that this was a Labor Party policy and they were its main proponents.
#26- Here’s a couple of chaps who I’m sure’d be happy to give you some heeling. #27- If we’re really supposed to be nazis, should we be igniting flammable Stars of David?

*to the point of eccch.Posted by carpefraise on 2008 02 18 at 04:58 AM • permalinkJohn Howard is clearly the only honorable ex-PM we have.
While the others, whose policies created today’s mess, basked in Rudd’s dubious glory, he stayed true to his principles of believing in action over symbolism.
He also avoided becoming a negative focus for so many of the crying-shamers on the day - which would certainly have happened. An amazing act of grace.
In true Blairite (as in Anthony Charles Lynton) form, Rudd chose to release the emails regarding Brian Burke in the immediate aftermath of the Sorry wankfest.
Can you imagine the wave of faux furious indignation that would have emanated from the media if Howard had pulled that one?
Instead, the media is still creaming its jeans over Rudd and Gillard.
Mark my words: Ten years of this and Australia will look like (to borrow Mark Steyn’s phrase) Somalia with chip shops.
The Howard haters could not come to terms with his victories and now they can’t come to terms with his loss. The bile is building to dangerous levels as they have no solid object to vent on. If Howard had fronted last Wednesday there would have been outrage and screams of hypocrite from the Simon Websters of the world - which would have released the dangerous bile pile forming in their anuses. But Howard didn’t, thus maintaining his credibility and dignity and the terrible itching, burning sensation Webster is feeling whenever he sits down to type.
I have head not one word of criticism of Bob Hawke who said just days before the apology that he wasn’t going because he had other commitments. Then the Labor machine grabbed his scrawny neck and threatened to expose his even sleazier side, so he trotted meekly along like the mongrel he is.
Ahem, yes, where was I?
Ahh, Simon Webster and his secret fetish for bizarre outfits. Yes, well, if his fancy extends to things like pointy hats amongst a group of protesters, then who are we to judge? Although ya would have to wonder why he didn’t notice the women covered head to toe walking solemnly several steps behind the men with the big beards.
I must tell my boss tomorrow that I’ve just discovered I’m a member of the KKK. As a Negro born in Louisiana he’ll be most interested I’m sure.

Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 02 18 at 06:18 AM • permalinkThe only interest Labor has is in creating Potemkin villages of Aboriginal culture.
What I am trying to say is that the whole idea of maintaining these economically unsustainable and unserviceable dumps in the middle of nowhere is supposedly to maintain the Aboriginal culture.
There seems to be no other viable reason to me. But since much of the “culture” is no as sick as a rabid dog, it’s time to shut down the entire sham and start again.
I hope I have coined a useable phrase there - “The potemkin villages of culture”.
Unless some other bastard got there first.
Posted by mr creosote on 2008 02 18 at 06:20 AM • permalink#38, kae,
My understanding is that the KKK was originally an organisation full of Democrats. That would fit since the White Australia Policy and apartheid in South Africa were also movements of the left.
Lefties really are a selfish pox on the face of humanity. They want their own lives to be free of any sort of discomfort or difficulty and expect other people to pay whatever that costs. I don’t like them one bit.
Labor is of the left so is always right while their opponents are of the right and are never right.
Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 02 18 at 06:55 AM • permalinkMore pants wetting tantrums from the left. Name calling, as always, devoid of argument or debate. Wow - such a breathtaking leap of logic, to call those you disagree with Klansmen and Nazis! I bet the rest of the leftosphere is sitting bolt uproght, amazed at this startling new tactic.
Odd how they like to do it from a distance. Maybe it’s because of the dangerous intolerance-of-slander rays emanating from my irascible person. It’s even odds that anyone calls me a Nazi or Klansman to my face gets his spine kicked right through the top of his skull.
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2008 02 18 at 07:39 AM • permalinkby long-standing arrangement, the relationship of the progressive chattering class and the aboriginal grievance industry has become symbiotic. The aboriginal grievance industry delivers political support (votes for the ALP), financial payola (work for pet so-called human rights lawyers etc) and support and validation of progressive causes/rorts/wank festivals. In return the progressive delivers power and money to the aboriginal grievance industry. There is no room in this relationship for genuine aboriginal advancement lest these parasitic groups become redundant. Any threat to this arrangement is quickly put down regardless of human cost,
eg. 1 - undermining of NT intervention by ALP state + territory govts and Krudd FED. govt.
eg.2 - the ALP has had nothing to say about child molestaion of aboriginals, and nothing to say about a former ALP Minister who stood accused of molesting them, until he died, allegedly by his own hand days before having to answer charges in court (and Phatty Adams still eulogises him).
eg 3 - Warren SnowdenWhat school of journalism produces these clones of each other. Read Traceeee, read Simon and they all sound the same. Shallow, shrill and totally without journalistic merit.
Were they around during the previous government or have they been breeding in anticipation of their day in the sun.
Make hay while the sun shines Messrs Mediocrities because you’ll be scraping for an audience after Labor implodes.
#25. This explains why i have to drive around a lot most mornings to buy the f…..g Telegraph….Mountains of Age and SMH every where but no f…..g Tele.
Sparrow, I have exactly the same problem! Every newsagent, supermarket or petrol station will have stacks of SMH and Age that are well over a metre high but not one copy of the Telegraph.
And this is in suburbs of Canberra renowned for their sheer numbers of Chardonnay Socialists.

Never mind that the policies are pretty much the same. Never mind that they invoke those responsible for those policies with reverence. Never mind that their actions show the same sense of racial superiority—couched in terms of pity and self-loathing, rather than domination.

Posted by eeniemeenie on 2008 02 18 at 08:36 AM • permalinkDoes anyone believe Fairfax’ circulation numbers? All those unmolested Ages at Starbucks are counted as sales you know. Same for the mouldy copies at the museum.
What’s the ad rate comparison between the two publishers? Got the numbers Tim? You’d have to think that Fairfax can only charge a fraction of its competitors what with its
punyselective reach.Which is a pity, because I actually want two good newspapers in my town - not one plus a uni-student newsletter with color supplements.
#51, ash_, yes, it’s probably my greatest failing.
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2008 02 18 at 09:10 AM • permalinkWhat school of journalism produces these clones of each other
Okay. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that ALL schools of journalism are inherently useless. There is nothing more foolish, dangerous and downright annoying than a 20 year old zit-popping, ideologically compromised, know-nothing who, armed with a Bachelor of Arts with a Journaljizzm major, sets out to Change The World(TM).
I know people who were doing Queensland Parliament rounds, interpreting the goings on of Queensland politics for readers of the News Ltd publications, and were still living at home with their mums for fucks sakes!
Good journalists don’t need to be formally educated in journalism. They simply require the ability to write clear, concise English, the experience to sort the facts from the bullshit and the humility to understand that their role is to report facts.
#60 You mean just before they shut down the journalism schools?
What use are journalism schools? Seriously. What do they teach that can’t be learnt on the job? And whatever is taught is probably relearnt, or unlearnt, by newly hired graduates in their first job anyway.
I’ve always thought that if I were an editor I’d view a journalism qualification as a black mark against a candidate. Any views on this from anyone who works in the media?
When I saw the phrase ``pointy white hats’’ I thought he must be talking about bishops. Then I realized he was thinking of Klansmen’s hoods, which cover the entire face. That’s pretty sloppy, even for a journalist.
And the mental image of a ``Labour lapdancer’’ is at once hilarious and horrifying - worthy of PJ O’Rourke. (You may remember that PJ wrote that he didn’t mind being called a Nazi because ``Nobody has EVER had a sexual fantasy of being tied to a bed and ravished by a liberal.’‘)
Posted by Sonetka's Mom on 2008 02 18 at 10:12 AM • permalink#66 What the hell for though? To teach them what nouns and verbs are? What specialised knowledge is there in journalism that takes this long to impart? And I still don’t understand why one can’t take a reasonably bright school leaver and train them on the job. It’s probably no more expensive and I suspect they end up doing this for the graduates anyway.
Is this simply another example of the credentialisation insanity that seems to have overcome us in the last decade or two?
#55-
If they’re anything like America’s Democrats, then their response will be, “Oh, but those were conservatives. Nothing like today’s party.”
Hell, Rob, there’s currently-serving, highly respected Democratic Senator by the name of Robert Byrd who was once a “Kleagle” and “Exalted Cyclops” in the Ku Klux Klan.
Pointy white hats? Never, sir. I prefer a top hat. Along with:
1) A monocle, which drops when my eyes are startled wide by the scandalous sight of an adequately-nourished orphan;
2) Spats, for keeping the dust kicked up by the lower classes from falling upon my seal-leather wingtips, and;
3) A cane, for soundly thrashing those who approach me for contributions to [harumph!] charity.
Dave S., you have a “get out of jail free” card tucked in that waistcoat?

Same problem in the Sydney seat of Bennelong. Fortunately, though, I can usually find a copy of the Australian, from the limited outlets which receive them.
