Civility and logic from our righty friends

Anyone silly enough to bother with Timmeh Blair’s blog nowadays might have noticed this fatuous little dig at a recent post by Kim at Larvatus Prodeo.

Let’s contrast that with the overwhelmingly lovely, heartwarming and not-in-any-way-despicable behaviour of several of his good mate Andy’s BoltStrokers™ over here, commenting on the news that Gough Whitlam is in hospital. 

Pompous git will only be missed by the Labor nostalgics.

Um, who cares? He was wasted space as a politician now he’s wasting space in a hospital bed. The sooner these overinflated egos are off the public nipple the better.

Nothing trivial I hope - this bastard ruined my Australia.
An Australia I lost a father and a grandfather to in trying to save it from external tyranny only to be betrayed from within by this…
Hell will be too good for him.

May he suffer the long and painful death that he and his ilk have inflicted on Zimbabwe in supporting terrorism in Rhodesia.

If it is terminal, it is 38 years too late to help any one.

Thank heavens for “conservatives” — politics would be a filthy arena without their shining example to guide us all.

    I’m loving how in a post mocking someone for a lack of civility and logic you’ve got gems like

    “Must be comforting for women and homosexuals to know that the left’s fight for their rights has strict limits and if it gets deadly serious, the spineless left will align with murderous Islamists”

    Yes, I recall then screaming blue murder at Timmeh’s when, in the aftermath of Kerry Packer’s death, I dared suggest that Big Kezza wasn’t quite the saint his own media empire was portraying him as. All kinds of dancing-on-his-grave rejoinders ushered forth, when I was doing no such thing. And look what gushes forth when Whitlam is ill.


  3.  Gravatar Bridgit Gread (Monday 30 June 2008, 3:53 pm) # 

    One other thing, ‘Mournful of Brisbane’ needs to learn a skerrick or two of history. Whitlam supported Mugabe because he supported self-determination in Africa. And Whitlam’s government also took a lead role in implementing sports and cultural boycotts against apartheid South Africa, when the previous McMahon government was happy to open the door to their rugby and cricket teams ad nauseum.


  4.  Gravatar flagg (Monday 30 June 2008, 3:55 pm) # 

    Ah yes. Reading Bolt’s comment thread I am reminded once again of some of Bolt’s mantras: that conservatives are compassionate, decent people, and the Left is full of people simply spewing forth an irrational hatred.


  5.  Gravatar Ross Sharp (Monday 30 June 2008, 4:18 pm) # 

    As soon as I saw Bolt’s post, I knew exactly what the comments would be like - that’s why I declined to read any further.


  6.  Gravatar John Surname (Monday 30 June 2008, 4:29 pm) # 

    The only reason Bolt posted that was to give his sycophants a forum to bash a sick, and possibly dying, old man.
    Aghast, comrades :(

    I hope Gough recovers and lives to 100 just to spite those bastards

    MAINTAIN THE RAGE!

    How can they blame Gough for Mugabe going nuts! Malcolm Fraser played a bigger role supporting Mugabe anyway.


  10.  Gravatar brokenleftleg (Monday 30 June 2008, 6:37 pm) # 

    And to think Timmeh’s mates abused me when I didn’t write a get well post in regards to his cancer.
    I get abused for something I didn’t write and then they cheer Whitlam’s illness. Blairites are perhaps the most vile swines on the blogsphere.

    Fuckers. Gough is awesome.

    ‘well might we say, we hope he gets better’.

    Off topic blatant self promotion but check out the shocking photoshop efforts of moi.

    Well might we say, let’s hope Saint Gough gets better.

    On a side note. I know you lads are fans of crap photoshop efforts…

    Crikey!

    Anyone would think Gough had introduced socialism or something…ah, but to dream…

    But I digress. Lawrie of Sydney’s comment sounds suspiciously similar to the ’stabbed in the back by the Reds and the Jews’ argument the embryonic Nazi party used after Germany’s defeat in the First World War.

    Oh! Whoops! Godwin’s Law! Only, if it walks like a duck…

    It occurred to me just now - what would be all write if John Howard was ill in hospital?

    I’d write nothing Wah, and leave it to you and the other Liberal voters.

    Jesus, I have travelled the world, fathered two beautiful girls, went to university at the age of 27 to become a journalist, I’ve raised money to help save the white rhinos of Kwa Zulu Natal - but I vote for one fucking Liberal … !

    It’s been a very sad, terrible week for Wah, Bridgit. I can barely look at him anymore.

    Oh, and speak of the devil… Or is that Sophie’s Demon? Maybe Wah IS Sophie’s Demon.

    Actually is it me, or is Sophie looking hot lately?

    I share your anger re: Kororoit, Wah; my home isn’t too far from that seat. And there weren’t any sensible protest-vote options available (Les Twentywines? Jee-zus.) But voting Liberal? I would sooner fingerpaint on the ballot paper in my own blood.


  25.  Gravatar Bron (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 10:30 am) # 

    So, you’re no longer into Penny Wong, then, Wah?

    Shit. You mean that’s not what you’re supposed to do?

    You can do feces-painting as variation but I’m not sure the AEC accepts it.

    So not only is Wah a Liberal voter, he’s also turned on by heavily pregnant women about to give birth. What’s next?


  29.  Gravatar Bron (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 10:44 am) # 

    I remember once a guy said to me, “Fucked if I’m going to vote for any of these cunts, I’m going to wipe my dick on the ballot paper.”

    I’ve never been able to vote sensibly since. That’s why I vote Greens.


  30.  Gravatar Bron (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 10:45 am) # 

    What’s next?

    Hmm. Becomes Wilson Tuckey’s fuck buddy?

    Sucky-fucky with Tuckey? That’s yucky, I’d rather get lucky with a truckie.


  32.  Gravatar Bron (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 10:51 am) # 

    Oh Bridgit… That’s as bad as voting Liberal.

    Actually, no, nothing’s as bad as voting Liberal. Hear that, Wah? NOTHING!


  33.  Gravatar Ray Dixon (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 10:55 am) # 

    Maybe Wah should have run as an Independent in Kororoit and voted for himself (he’d have copped a lot less flack). Either that or vote Liberal and not tell the world about it. Anyway, you have to admire his guts (I think?)


  34.  Gravatar Bron (Tuesday 1 July 2008, 11:00 am) # 

    I’m not really into guts, Ray. I prefer eyes.

    Wah prefers Sophie’s guts to her demonic eyes.

    You are not willing to engage in debate at all.

    I have amply proven that when the rubber meets the road you are all just a rabble of locksteppers who are no better than those you admonish daily.

    Just scroll down the ‘enlightened’ posts from your ‘regulars’ on this topic alone.

    When someone pokes the nest you can’t engage, you just resort to the same petty namecalling bullshit that you accuse those who post on Bolt and Blair’s sites of.

    Sitting around in furious head-nodding agreement in your echo chamber is not debate; nor is resorting to pathetically juvenile monikers such as BoltStrokers to describe those who seek to challenge your inherent smugness.

    Step outside your inner-city comfort zone.

    A non-stop contrarian dialogue that proliferates on this blog is a sign of pissweak intellect and betrays a nothing but a cursory knowledge of anything beyond knowing which side to butter your toast.

    If you want to debate…let’s debate.

    If you want to abuse…I’ll match you pound for pound.

    But spare me the sanctimonous posturing and moral outrage.

    Moderate me if you like; call me what you like; just don’t patronise me with your “good faith” garbage.

    Prove you possess it.

    I’ll be watching.


  37.  Gravatar Bridgit Gread (Thursday 3 July 2008, 4:16 pm) # 

    I debate with whoever wants to debate, Troll-vis, but let’s be honest - you’re not here for that, you just want to rattle a few cages then piss off into the black nothingness that passes for your life. Your introductory comment into the Grodsthink thread was nothing but a series of self-projecting sexual inanities, which contributed nothing but insight into your own insecurities.

    Spare us the indignation and the weak threats. If you want to discuss and debate the issues then bring it on. If you’re just here to wind people up, then you might as well return to shaving gerbils in preparation for their big adventure.

    “You are not willing to engage in debate at all.”

    What debate? You haven’t even tried to debate. Do not come in here, abuse people, and then complain because no-one will debate you! Boo-fucking-hoo!

    Bridgit invites Major Cockhead to debate something — anything — and he immediately declines.

    What a man.


  44.  Gravatar Bridgit Gread (Thursday 3 July 2008, 6:08 pm) # 

    Debating with Major Elvis Newton would be a lot like debating with Major Frank Burns. But if he wants to rhumba, then I’ve got my cape.


  45.  Gravatar John Surname (Thursday 3 July 2008, 6:16 pm) # 

    I’m not sure he’s declined. I think Fujitsu made him go home for the night.


  46.  Gravatar Ant Rogenous (Thursday 3 July 2008, 7:05 pm) # 

    Isn’t it amazing, though, the kind of fanaticism — some might say religious fervour — Bolt inspires in his slavering army of lickspittle Boltards?

    Take Major Cockhead, for instance — a hapless, impotent bellend so besotted by Bolt that he’ll venture out and put the shred of dignity he was born with on the line, making an utter cunt of himself to defend his messiah’s “honour”.

    And for what — a pat on the head or a doggy biscuit that’s never going to come?

    It’s heartbreaking. He’s like some retarded Don Quixote.

    Get well soon Gough, rest up in hossy as long as you need mate but we need you on the ball to quote Dante whenever some c*nt-servative trips over his or her own over inflated sense of self importance.

    There was one cheery bit of news this evening, seems Allan Jones arsehole is about to drop out with crotch rot.

    Huzzah!!

    I for one, am glad that the Major will be watching this blog. It’s high time someone held it up to scrutiny. People here, have been getting away with far too much for far too long from their inner-city comfort zone.

    I salute you Major. And I will march by your side with my arms at breast-pocket height, kinks out of my elbows and with my eyes directly to the front. Check. Halt. About turn.

    Getting the facts down-pat is good advice for future trolls. I don’t live in the “inner-city”. Not sure about Wah but he votes in Kororoit so he probably doesn’t. Ray Dixon is the voice of the bush. Dave from Albury is, well, from Albury. Jeremy lives in the outer-east. John Surname has or deserves his own suburb. Only The Editor lets us down, the crazy latte-sipping fool.

    As for you Chuck, you may well be of the ‘inner-city’ now but as you have ‘crossed the line’ with various lightly-oiled root vegetables inserted into your alimentary orificies, that makes you more worldly than all of us combined.

    What happened on the boat stays on the boat, Bridgit. BTW, the were dunny paper rolls… God… dunny paper rolls! And crossing the line is a rite of passage. Or up it… whatever floats your boat.

    I’m not inner city either.

    I’m outer-outer-outer North. Any further from the inner-city and I’d get frequent flyer miles going to the footy.
