		<description>Chuck.
My mum died 12 tears ago.
I bet your worm is the smallest maggot she&#039;s seen for a while so I don&#039;t think the lube will do that much good.

Prapse your own mother might like you to try it though. Clearly there&#039;s a mother issue with you fellers here.</description>

		<description>HJ is big on talk bust small on facts. The MSN group that was linked used to be HJ&#039;s website that was clickable through the commentators name.

He is not adverse to name calling in the Australian and Global Politics group.</description>

		<description>Hi Husky Jim,

I am going to take the moral high ground and tell you that you are a cock-smocking fuck-hole. Fuck off, fuck-neck. Dumb. Cunt. Have a sloppy tit wank over bolt back at news.com.au. Your mum. My cock. Her arse. No lube.</description>

		<description>Oh yes you just mentioned that she&#039;s plain as a matter of interest. A play on words as it were. Funny you never noticed the anagram of Lapin, french for Rabbit.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link. As for the &quot;plain&quot; comment, I never said she was. I merely noted the anagram as I misspelled her name that way in the original draft. Read into it what you like.

For onlookers: this is the part where he&#039;s trying to bait me into abusing him so he can claim the high moral ground I outlined above. </description>

		<description>&quot;Little Johnny has googled me. Of course that’s not trolling is it?&quot;

That&#039;s right. And neither is bringing up your past trolling in a thread you are currently trolling. Blogging &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; fun, you should try it sometime.</description>

		<description>Oh oh Johnny thinks Sarah is &quot;plain&quot; and crazy by the look of it. As if her looks, which i think are pretty reasonable, have anything to do with her ability to govern.
I appears he&#039;s a fashion guru too, hence he knows &quot;plain&quot; when he sees it, but I&#039;m not too sure of the medical cred to diagnose as insane.
I get google too Johnny luv.

Shall we go and have a look for John&#039;s releven to the thread pots above.
We&#039;ll add them all shall we?

Oh dear!
ZEEEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOO Johnny!

Only the deence of the Pig in Lipstick comment which was apparently off topic according to Ant boy.

So he&#039;s off to google in search of ol Jim, but that&#039;s not trolling.
He&#039;s off topic from his first comment, but that&#039;s not trolling either.

Isn&#039;t blogging fun.</description>

		<description>More typical troll action - trolls are unable to argue without turning it personal (accusing others of being hypocrites, of needing medication, of having mother issues etc), before pulling the &quot;poor me&quot; routine when called on the despicable behaviour.

Another good routine is to try and grab the moral high ground by accusing everyone of being hypocrites. In TrollLand, &quot;proving&quot; everyone to be a hypocrite is equal to winning an argument. 

More trolling found here: http://groups.msn.com/AustralianandGlobalPolitics/general.msnw?action=get_message&amp;mview=0&amp;ID_Message=14778&amp;LastModified=4675662064017940968

HJ seems to be one of those Andrew Bolt readers who see red every time he is criticised, and waste their waking hours trolling forums trying vainly to defend him. Apparently Andrew Bolt needs defending. Apparently he can&#039;t defend himself.</description>

		<description>Oh go away troll, you&#039;re not even a funny troll.

Here&#039;s a tip for you, why don&#039;t you create a blog called, oh I don&#039;t know, how&#039;s GrodsWatch sound? There you can post about all the nasty things that Grods says about lovely conservative columnists who have so much love to give that they are ready to burst.</description>

		<description>Bron he&#039;s clearly very very angry with the world and completely incapable of accepting that there is any other view possible unless by a deluded f-wit troll etc etc. Clearly he has issues with h is mother as well, but we&#039;ll just accept that its all her fault shall we.

Nobody sustains a happy existance in such a state without resort to medication.

I could of course be wrong. First time today though.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not uncomfortable with being called names --- where did I ever suggest I was? All I did was prove that you were lying (again) when you said you didn&#039;t indulge in name-calling.

Fuck off, troll. Seriously.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a casm of difference between changing the tag of a man who discribes himself as having a huge chip on his sholder called Ant Rogenous to &quot;angry&quot; (chip on sholder) &quot;insect&quot; (ant) and calling him a fucking xyz a troll a ***tard or suggesting his disagreement is the result of a cranial suppository.
But as you&#039;re comfortable with both why are you objecting to angry isnect?</description>

		<description>Zoo keepers are requesting that spectators refrain from feeding the troll. 

But I will say this: HJ, you hate profanity, but you don&#039;t hesitate to insult in other ways such as sneering at Ant and telling him his medication is wearing off. 

Fucking hypocrite.</description>

		<description>You asked for examples of where you&#039;d called people names, troll --- the rest of that comment is completely irrelevant.

Do me a favour, though, Jim: go back to the top of this thread and read all the comments, right through to the bottom.

Now, tell me honestly: how would you score your own performance out of 10?</description>

		<description>Half quoting is a sin Ant

To finish. 

&quot;Its indicative of your mindset that you created and maintain a website dedicated to the smeering of conservative expression and particularly two prominant columnests. We get it Ant, the right give you the shits.&quot;

Probably not keen to remind too many folks of that though.

Funny the encyclopedic knowledge you have to be able to go back over my posts and pick the chrries you like out.
Are you indexing?</description>

		<description>I had not till then and have not since then called anyone any name save reminding us all of St Peter who denied his own mother.
I have certainly not used the profanity used above.
I think you&#039;re getting to that stage of the day where the medication&#039;s wearing off Ant so again I&#039;ll let you off. for a while.</description>

Incidentally, you&#039;re wrong &lt;i&gt;again&lt;/i&gt;. Clearly I&#039;m not &quot;condemning&quot; Bolt for his support of Palin --- I&#039;m calling him on his failure to see the comment of Palin&#039;s that I quoted as a platitude; and I&#039;m questioning the advisability of the Repulicans making Iraq an election issue.

Fair dinkum, you can&#039;t really be this thick, can you?</description>

		<description>Why is it that Ant is so willing to condemn Bolt for his support of Palin?

Surely he&#039;d much rather see a self made, self educated, middle class woman who identifies with more Americans,and Australians for that matter, than the 5th Avenue/Ivy League candidates we generally get in these elections.

Or does he simply see the elephant and codemn it and see the donkey and praise it?</description>

He’s acknowledged the error and apologised.
If he was commit subucu over the shame of it, what the hell would you do all day?
The topic is Catherine’s bipolar, or St Peter’s accusation that she’s not suffering it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wouldn&#039;t that be hypocritical?

		<description>Ok DB so If I call others names, then what are those names? Where did i call you those names?

Its not good enough to simply say i called you names and then have no instances of me doing it. 

You assert - you prove.</description>

		<description>HJ - Thank you for a list of names.. The issue is that you were meant to be listing the scientists who thought the world was going into an ice age in the 70&#039;s and have since tchanged their tune.

You know what names. I am not about to trawl through your comments to remind you of what you have done.

Surname - apologies for taking HJ OT. I have been waiting for him to list a name for a few weeks now.</description>

		<description>Did you read Dam Buster&#039;s post?

Comprehension not in the top ten things you can do?

&quot;You were supposed to be providing a list of one of those many scientists weren’t you? &quot;

You see that&#039;s a request to provide something. It is now provided, but it also changes the subject.........oh why the hell do I bother to explain?</description>

		<description>Typical troll method. Jumping around, selectively quoting topics he thinks he can win for no reason. 

Why the topic change?</description>

		<description>Has Dr Karoly changed his opinion of Prof Garnaut now? It would appear he has as of this week.

 

On the evidence Karoly sees, most doubters have not bothered to read the landmark reports by chief Rudd Government climate adviser Ross Garnaut or the UN climate panel, and those who have dismiss them as political documents.

 

Funny how the alarmist will pick and choose their sources for alarm depending on the content, because this week David told the ABC

 

“&quot;It appears ... that he is taking an approach which is politically and economically palatable or acceptable, rather than taking the opportunity which we have perhaps once in this century to take bold action, for Australia to take a leading role in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions,&quot;”

 

To see the Garnaut report as political is only wrong for skeptics?</description>

		<description>What names did I call you DB?


List again

Just a few this time.

Prof Yuri Izrael, IPCC vice-chairman: &quot;There is no serious threat to the climate.&quot; 

Richard Lindzen, former IPCC lead author and meteorology professor at MIT: &quot;There is no substantive basis for predictions of sizeable global warming due to observed increases in minor greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons.&quot; 

Dr Vincent Gray, IPCC reviewer: &quot;The continued fairly unchanging warm weather since 1998 shows no signs of increasing, and is probably influenced by changes in the sun.&quot; 

Dr Christopher Landsea, former IPCC author and hurricane expert: &quot;It is beyond me why my (IPCC) colleagues would utilise the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming . . . I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.&quot;</description>

		<description>DB how exactly is reminding the Ant that he&#039;s got double standards, at his request i might add, spreading hate and name calling.
If I point out that you are inconsistent in your views DB and you don&#039;t like it then don&#039;t call it hate.
If I say you&#039;re wrong DB that&#039;s not name calling.

I am quite prepared to conceed that I&#039;m wrong here, but you&#039;ll need to show where I a) called him a name and/or b) exibited hatred toward him.

On past experience you&#039;ll simply refuse that task I suppose.</description>

Bolt...right...could it happen?

I’d have to concede it as a possibility, but maybe as likely as the LHC/giant krill invasion scenario.</description>

		<description>Ant
Let me count the ways old lad.
For a start you go around the net posting smeer on Bolt etal and have prevented others bringing you to account for the same.
You whine like an EH diff about moderation on blogs and then disallow comment all together on your own.
You accuse Bolt of being one sided in his comments, but where you do agree with him, you simply keep quiet. Only commenting on things he has wrong in your opinion seems a little one sided to me.
If its a true bolt &quot;watch&quot; then it&#039;d watch him be right surely?

I think to go on would simply be cruel to you so I&#039;ll stop.
Don&#039;t want to compound that anger any further.

What is you assumption based on Bron?</description>

And where exactly have I &quot;exhibited a double standard&quot;, bellend?

If you can produce another post of mine in which I&#039;ve praised or defended an inane platitude from any politician of any political hue, you&#039;ll have shown that this post exhibited a double standard.

If not, you&#039;ll only have shown what we already knew --- that you&#039;re a fucking idiot.</description>

Maybe Obama should have said &quot;You can put lipstick on a pitbull&quot; instead? Because that is what Pailn called herself.</description>

		<description>Ok little man.
I said ;
&quot;..I see that while it is ok for you to exhibit a double standard, you have no reason to allow Bolt to have one. Since you have not been critical of Obama either, exactly where do you stand on the pig makeup artist?&quot;

This was not changing the issue at all and you have still not addressed the issue of where you stand on Obama, except to state that you&#039;ve not supported him. Do you support him?

Bron was the one who changed the issue with the comment ;

&quot;Hey Husky_Jim, I am assuming that by calling Obama “pig makeup artist” you honestly believe he is the first person to say “lipstick on a pig”.&quot;

This point I also addressed by asking her to point out where I made a comment stating that. Her retort, like yours, was to begin the insults. She has a little more grace than to use the profanity, but she may not have the little man anger issuues you have. Isn&#039;t the abuse simply an attempt to change the issue?

Bron my comment re being hurt was sarcasm. Clearly not a form of wit you are up to. 

Obama has clearly been rattled (as are you both) by the introduction of Palin into this election.
Where is Biden on this issue anyway? 
Why are the Democrats so in the headlights over the Republicam VP nomination?</description>

<p>Obama has clearly been rattled (as are you both) by the introduction of Palin into this election.<br />
Where is Biden on this issue anyway?<br />
Why are the Democrats so in the headlights over the Republicam VP nomination?</p>

No, you haven&#039;t. I showed you why my post stood up against your limp-wristed attack, so what did you do? Promptly changed the subject to this &quot;lipstick&quot; thing.

Hence: troll.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As pointed out the pig comment may be a figure of speach. Certainly McCain used it in discussing Clinton’s health plan, and was critisised by Democrats as being a sexist. It appears it only became a figure of speach after Obama used it. However the first part of the speel is lifted, without attribution, form the cartoon in the link.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m calling bullshit on that one. I&#039;ve seen plenty of links to McCain&#039;s comment about it - can you show me the claims it was sexist?

Also, there are plenty of earlier examples of its use - Obama used it in reference to General Petraeus; Dick Cheney used it about John Kerry; etc.</description>

		<description>Jim, the urban dictionary also &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=putting+lipstick+on+a+pig&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;has this&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;A term used by many, generally in reference to someone who may be trying to make something or someone look appealing or attractive when it quite clearly will not work, or will only deceive the dumbest of people.&quot; Followed by an example about car salesmen.

As Surname says, it was clearly a reference to the McCain campaign&#039;s attempt to claim they are mavericks when, under the surface, it&#039;s more of the same. Coincidentally, &quot;more of the same&quot; has been a line on multiple Obama campaign ads - including before Palin was even chosen.

The only people getting worked up about this alleged slur on Palin are people who have a vested interest in making it look like Obama meant it as a slur to Palin. The sad thing is that the media goes along with it.</description>

		<description>It is possible that we&#039;re missing the real point here I fear.

Transcript (partial)

John McCain says he&#039;s about change too. Exce- and and so I guess 
his whole angle is - watch out, George Bush - except for economic 
policy, healthcare policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign 
policy, and Karl-Rove-style politics, we&#039;re really gonna shake things 
up in Washington. 


    That&#039;s not change. 


    That&#039;s that&#039;s just callin&#039; sumpin&#039; the same thing somethin&#039; 
different. 


    But you know, you can&#039;t, you know, you you can put, ah, lipstick 
on a pig, it&#039;s still a pig. 


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/opinion/ssi/images/Toles/c_09052... 


You can see for yourself that the entire segment before his &quot;pig&quot; quip 
matches the Toles cartoon exactly. 
As pointed out the pig comment may be a figure of speach. Certainly McCain used it in discussing Clinton&#039;s health plan, and was critisised by Democrats as being a sexist.

The video is here.

Just to bring the discussion back to reality, it&#039;s clearly Obama talking about the McCain/Pail &quot;maverick&quot; campaign. 

Quote: &quot;You can&#039;t call the same thing &lt;i&gt;(referring to campaign)&lt;/i&gt; something different. You can&#039;t put lipstick on a pig.&quot; 

Can somebody tell me what&#039;s wrong with that comment? It&#039;s in NO way reference to Palin.</description>

		<description>Bron

I&#039;m not saying that at all.Where did I say that Obama was the first person to say it?

I do note that urban dictionary defines the term as 

&quot;slang for when someone tries to dress something up, but is still that something. usually used on ugly broads, when they put on a skirt and some lipstick and well, they still look like the same digusting pig. &quot;

Now if Jonny Mac was to make the slightest suggestion of say &quot;sending a boy to do a man&#039;s job&quot; in regard to the good democratic candidate I&#039;m quite sure that there would be outrage on the left.
It appears however that the cooment was, as is the want of all such comments by the left, taken out of context.
It was clearly as a result of Palin&#039;s comments regarding a Pit bull in lipstick.</description>

		<description>I read Curthoys&#039; critique you lent me, Ant. And it is excellent. I still disagree with him on the points we discussed, however he makes a great case on the over-zealous arguments of Dawkins and Hitchens that a lot of people recognise and are dismayed by. I have not read Harris&#039; book, he sounds like a tosser anyway.

Also, there is an awesome poem at the back of Overland. It kinda creeped me out.</description>

		<description>Hey Husky_Jim, I am assuming that by calling Obama &quot;pig makeup artist&quot; you honestly believe he is the first person to say &quot;lipstick on a pig&quot;. 

But did you know John McCain actually used it first? Earlier this year when he put down Hillary Clinton&#039;s health care plan. &quot;I don&#039;t like to use this term, but the latest proposal I see is putting lipstick on a pig.&quot; 

You can see for yourself right &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/trailhead/archive/2008/09/09/mccain-said-lipstick-too.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Footage evidence.</description>

Bully for you. Being an ant, that must make you feel big.

Secondly I see that while it is ok for you to exhibit a double standard, you have no reason to allow Bolt to have one. Since you have not been critical of Obama either, exactly where do you stand on the pig makeup artist?</description>

		<description>If you want to see some cheap Republican cynicism at its most reprehensible you should check out the 9/11 clip they ran before Mccain made his speech. It will make you sick. And watch Keith Olbermanns Special Comment tomorrow in response to it.

Also don&#039;t be fooled by the polls out there at the moment, while they show an entirely marginal lead for George Mccain, the voter rolls Gallup, Rasmussen etc use dont include new voters that have registered in the last 12 months or so. In the last 4 months dems have registered 2 million new voters for their party to the republicans .36. 

*Obama still hasnt released any plans for his words (yes he has).

*&lt;i&gt;Immunisation from Rightards.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>You might also have noticed, if your head wasn&#039;t deeply up your arse, that:

1) There are likewise no posts where I &lt;i&gt;support&lt;/i&gt; Obama; and
2) This post was about Andrew Bolt&#039;s double standard when it comes to the platitudes of US politicians, and about the advisability of the Republicans making Iraq an election issue.

Do you have anything to say about either of those points, or are you just being a fuckwitted pissweak-gotcha-merchant troll like you were at Bolt/Blair Watch?*

&lt;i&gt;&lt;small&gt;* Rhetorical question.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve looked all about the place and I seem to have missed the posts where you were getting stuck into Obama on the subjest of his platitudes.

Could you help me out please?</description>
