The haters emerge:
When Mr Howard took his seat on stage to watch the festival parade, anti-war protester Ray Osburn, from a nearby electorate, pushed towards the front, holding a sign which read: “Unseat Warmongerer Howard”.
“People are dying and you are just sitting there! You disgusting little man!” Mr Osburn called.
“I’m a veteran! Come and suck up to me, come and shake my hand!”
Via MM, who is reminded of elections past, what with all the Howard obsessiveness. Of course, Margo Kingston is busily flying from state to state launching her old Howard-hatin’ book again; check out the champions of democracy who turned up for the Sydney leg.
Geez louise, Margo. Would it be too much to ask you to wash your hair before going to a book signing? Either that or wear a ribbon or hair band to keep the strings pulled back from your face.

In re: last link – Well, democracy is safe as long as those “champions” are keeping watch.
Borrowing from Wodehouse, Malcolm Duncan looks like “an automobile coming through a haystack”. And Steve Taberner . . . is the guy Australian? He looks like a crazed Canadian fur-trapper who kills and eats lonely hikers. Margo’s wardrobe furnished by Discount Awnings, Ltd.
There’s a note at the bottom of the page: “Report Inappropriate Content”. The working definition must be extremely broad.
“People are dying and you are just sitting there! You disgusting little man!” Mr Osburn called.
Of course, carrying a sign around, and openly approaching a head of state in a hostile mood without fear of arrest, means Mr. Osburn is an incredibly brave feller.

“Kingston fearlessly takes the Howard government to task on what she sees as the many betrayals of the Australian people and their freedoms” – Sydney Sunday Telegraph
How fearless is it, really, to “take to task” the very government and Prime Minister who stand to defend your very right to do so?

Fearless.
They keep using that word, but it does not mean what they think it means.

What is it with lefties and civility? Or rather, total lack of it? It’s too much for them to behave like educated, decent people in public. I suppose you can save the planet and promote social justice much more readily by being an obnoxious boob.

Now you see, wronwright, if Margok washed her hair, her legions of fans (legions I tell ya!) would think she’d sold out. Her greasy, unkempt hair is an instantly recognizable display of “authenticity”.

People are dying and it’s all Howard’s fault!!!
A few more of these nutbars, and Howard gets re-elected

Oh, goodness, she looks like a crazy bag lady. She actually convinced someone to publish her?
BTW, nice pit stains, Denise.

- Had a look at the horrorshow, all I could think was that San Francisco does freak gatherings so much better.
Margo couldn’t attract a single naked man with an inflated scrotum. Attracting men of any type is not her strong point, admittedly, but still.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 10 20 at 05:04 PM • permalink
What’s she wearing? It looks like a moomoo in those latter shots…

Even money the grease is the only thing holding it on…

“Ms McKew, a former ABC television presenter, also worked the crowd today, wearing her Kevin07 shirt and surrounded by supporters, but did receive anything like the ecstatic response for the man she wants to unseat.”
There’s a “not” missing.
Interesting that the SMH can’t bring itself to report – even in a “straight” news article – that there’s support for John Howard.
Where along the production line did that “not” get dropped?
Imagine that planting one on your cheek. And BTW Margo, a visit to a barber wouldn’t go astray either!

- Margo, don’t listen to all of the people who tell you that you’re an unattractive nutjob. Somewhere out there is a Russian sailor who hasn’t seen a woman for a few years, who would think you look just peachy.
And since he doesn’t speak English, you would have someone who would readily say ‘Da’ to everything you say.Can I suggest a shave though? Vlad gets upset if his ladies have a bigger beard than his. You know these Russians. 🙂

Really? Good God, you mean some woman has to have the stomach to kiss that?I give up, the female of the species, etc, etc.#20 Ash_
I don’t know, I met some Russian chopper pilots once overseas who would have shagged anything that could be proven on circumstantial evidence to have been female.
Drunken sots.
Nice fellas though. 🙂
Has anybody checked the virtuous Mr. Osburns veteran status?
