Brazen hypocrisy going on over at Andrew Bolt’s blog-of-shame. This is Andrew getting all grumpy and sanctimonious about the rigging of a Herald Sun online poll yesterday:
The question put by the Herald Sun: ”Should gay couples have the same rights as married couples?”
The answer? Mailouts are good for a few hundred votes:
From: Sally Goldner
Date: Dec 5, 2007 9:55 AM
Subject: [appetitefordeconstruction] Opinion poll - relationships
To: Appetitefordeconstruction Yahoogroup, Bi-Victoria Yahoogroup , Queergreen YahoogroupI note the following opinion poll on the Herald Sun website this morning.
Time to vote!! http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/opinion
Cheers
Neil
Didn’t these activists trust the public to choose right?
And here’s Andrew today ordering his readers to go and rig a Greenpeace online poll:
Reader Dave needs your help for a worthy cause:
Greenpeace are running this promo thing where they’re choosing a name for a humpback whale, to increase awareness etc. etc.
At the moment the name that is topping the votes is Mr Splashy Pants.
But the hippies are starting to get angry, and pushing for crap names that have deep and symbolic meaning…like Nurani , Veikko and Aurora.
So please get behind “Mr Splashy Pants” and cast your vote today!!
Please. Although it’s odd that Greenpeace thinks “humpback whale” won’t do. Shouldn’t it be more tolerant of the differently abled?
Doesn’t this hypocritical columnist trust the public to choose right?
UPDATE: As John Surname points out in comments, Bolta has posted a pathetic defence of his hypocrisy:
I am utterly consistent. Yesterday I revealed the Herald Sun poll on gay rights was being rigged, and today I announce the Greenpeace poll on whales is being rigged. It’s all about disclosure.
Is that supposed to be funny?
