Hold onto your hats, GrodsReaders. I’m about to say something shocking.

Andrew Bolt is right.

Dear victim: don’t upset the racists

…Victoria Police now issue this advice:

INDIAN students will be taught not to speak loudly in their native tongue or display signs of wealth such as iPods when travelling on trains at night, as part of a strategy to crack down on violent robberies.

Some restrictions on their attackers may actually be a better strategy, but once again we find it’s easier to police the lawful than the feral.

Damn straight. Why should a whole section of the community alter its behaviour just because its members are frequent victims of crime? Bolta’s right when he says it’s the perpetrators that should be made to change their behaviour. But despite Andy’s headline, one racist blogger is upset.

Strange that the police say nothing about the attackers? Not really. Past reports indicate that the attackers are mainly Africans. And we mustn’t under any circumstances let anybody know how dangerous Africans can be, must we?

Oh, TingTong. No surprise really given your past comments about them dumb blackies.

When you think of the word “soldier”, what springs to your mind?

Fearless? Brave? Heroic? Fighting for what’s good and true?

When white supremacist group The Southern Cross Soldiers decided to hold a rally on Australia Day, they thought the beach would be their oyster, and the media their bitch. What patriotic, beach loving Aussie could ignore their call for immigrants to fuck off?

Sadly, it was not to be.

You could tell it would be an exercise in idiocy from the moment the first little troopers arrived under The Clocks and began casting anxious eyes over the Australia Day parade rolling down Swanston St.

Chinese marchers with their dragons, Turkish dancers, new arrivals from Africa – the sort of people your typical Southern Cross Soldier wants to send back where they came from.

But outnumbered as they were, there wasn’t a peep out of these heroes, whose ranks swelled gradually to about 30.

Thirty? Sounds like a right proper army to me.

And at Mordialloc’s multicultural melting pot, well you just had to laugh. They congregated for a while at the foot of the pier like virgins at an orgy, glancing anxiously down the beach and at all those non-Anglo faces, who paid them no heed whatsoever.

When a couple of brawny Pacific Islanders ambled past, their silence was deafening.

[...]

When a Herald Sun photographer tried to snap their pictures, that was the moment to demonstrate courage. Fifteen on one, those are the sort of odds cowards like best.

There was a bit of pushing and shoving and lens-blocking, and one big kid struck a boxing pose and offered to punch some heads.

He didn’t and they drifted away on a cloud of obscenity to have another go at remembering the words to Advance Australia Fair.

It’s good to know John Ray has these guys on his side, because when the New Soviets come they will not be spared.

Further to GrodsCorp’s story yesterday, Dr (sic) John “TingTong” Ray has reached the pinnacle of academia: he’s been published! Okay, so it’s only in the The Australian’s “Strewth” column, but just like GroupThinkFC, TingTong will take the wins any way they come.

Anyone for tenuous?
THE US presidential election campaign dived to a new low yesterday when an Australian blogger called John Ray claimed to have uncovered three “pornographic” photographs of Barack Obama’s mother Ann Dunham. While mainstream American newspapers backed away from publishing the claims, the internet went crazy with dozens of sites running the old black and white snaps. While the woman photographed bears some resemblance to Dunham, who died of cancer aged 54, there is absolutely no proof it is her, and the photographs are anything but pornographic. The woman is naked but for stockings, high-heeled shoes and oversized Christmas earrings but the poses are modest by today’s standards. She is posed in front of a Christmas tree and piles of wrapped gifts. Anti-Obama bloggers claim the jazz LP records seen in one of the snaps somehow prove that Dunham, if it is her, posed for a communist.

The denizens of the Rightardsphere have been busy rubbing several layers of skin off themselves since Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate in the forthcoming US election — but perhaps none so vigorously as GrodsCorp’s favourite rhyming doctor, John “TingTong” Ray.

After reproducing a fawning post by US blogger Dick McDonald — in which he declares, among things, “My first impression is that we may have found our Margaret Thatcher”! — das gut Herr Doktor yesterday took the adulation one teensy-weensy step further:

I predict that she will one day be President of the United States.

Level-headed, insightful and well researched — as usual. Who could possibly argue?
