BOLT GAGGED BY HIS OWN PUBLISHERS?

This could be good news for those that challenge Andrew Bolt’s extreme right-wing views at his online blog. In his latest post he writes, almost as an ‘Oh, and I nearly forgot’:

Please note: I am told there will be no moderating of this blog outside office hours.

He then adds very importantly and hoping no one really notices:

I cannot moderate it myself, I am told.

Last week Bolt deleted a comment I made against one of his posts saying: ‘SNIPPED FOR STUPIDITY’. My comment was well within the guidelines so I emailed Bolt and asked why it had been ‘snipped’ and told him that, if I did not receive a satisfactory explanation, I would lodge a complaint with the Australian Press Council (APC).

Despite being within the guidelines, Bolt said that my comment was vilifying, stupid and defamatory. Of course, it was nothing of the sort. Bolt then said that if I took ‘legal action’ he would ban me from commenting on his blog.

I have since lodged my complaint with the APC.

I don’t know, but I hope that Bolt’s gagging by his own publishers has been as a result of my and I suspect others complaints and I look forward to challenging his extreme right-wing views by commenting at his blog.

TIM BLAIR AND THE ‘WE CARE ABOUT THE DEAD BOATPEOPLE’ CON

Racists, Islamophobes, xenophobes and rednecks just hate being called racists, Islamophobes, xenophobes and rednecks, so when a boatpeople tragedy happens they see it as an opportunity to kill two birds with one piece of propaganda and immediately jump on the caring conservative bandwagon in an effort to convince people that they truly care about the welfare and safety of asylum seeking refugees coming to Australia by boat. This is exactly what Murdoch minion and racist warmonger Tim Blair has done.

Blair tries to make the case that racists, Islamophobes, xenophobes and rednecks are really ‘caring conservatives’ and, because they’re so caring, they want to make life really tough for boatpeople - for their own good, mind you - by banging them up in detention indefinitely in places they don’t want to be in order to deter people trying to seek asylum in Australia by boat.

Let’s get one thing straight here; the likes of Tim Blair, Andrew Bolt, et al, have absolutely no interest in the wellbeing or safety of boatpeople. They are racists that do not want non-white people in Australia – especially if they are Muslims.

The ‘we care about the dead boatpeople’ nonsense is just a con that attempts to cover their real motives of keeping boatpeople out of Australia.

TIM BLAIR EXPOSES HIS PRIORITIES WHEN IT COMES TO BOATPEOPLE DISASTERS

On Thursday last week Tim Blair’s piece about the boatpeople tragedy started by saying; ‘Stop the Boats’ then, almost as an afterthought, he added ‘Stop the Deaths’. Anyone with any real concerns would simply be saying ‘Stop the Deaths’. But then everyone knows where this Islamophobic racist’s priorities really lie. After all, why else would one promote the world’s second most Islamophobic war mongering loon on the planet, Mark Steyn. (The world’s most Islamophobic lunatic is probably Daniel Pipes, but there would be others in the running.)  

Like Andrew Bolt, Tim Blair’s obsessive interest in boatpeople and the disasters that occasionally befall them is simply the propaganda opportunity these tragedies provide in order for the likes of Blair and Bolt, et al, to push their anti-Islam and xenophobic nonsense to the people of Australia.

In light of the fact that asylum seeing refugees will continue to find way to come to Australia no matter what, the best way to stop the deaths would be for the Indonesian and Australian authorities to ensure that boats are seaworthy or, better still, simply fly them in. Making life difficult for these people will not stop the tragedies and nor will it stop them coming here.

BOLT THINKS TOO MANY ABORIGINES AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS ARE CALLING THEMSELVES ‘ABORIGINES’ AND ‘TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS’

Bolt’s latest post at his online blog at the Herald-Sun infers that too many indigenous people are claiming to be indigenous.

He thinks last year’s census figures prove it.

Fortunately, the rednecks and racists that inhabit his blog have been deprived of the right to peddle their sick views; comments are not allowed.

BOLT THINKS TURKEY HAS AN EXCUSE TO START WORLD WAR THREE

Bolt headlines a post at his online blog with:


For Bolt, the shooting down of a Turkish jet by Syria is an excuse to kick off WW3. Never mind that the Turkish warplane had flown into Syrian airspace and never mind that Syria had since apologised for the incident and are assisting in the search and rescue of the two crew of the downed aircraft.

Now it’s Bolt the Warmonger.

IS BOLT ENDORSING RACE RIOTS AND ENCOURAGING ‘TRIBALISM’?

In a post today at his online blog at the Herald-Sun, Andrew Bolt wrote:

The danger of riots isn’t just or even mainly a sign of economic stress. It is also a sign of increased tribalism…

First off, one needs to ask; ‘What riots?’ Well, apparently there was a ‘secret briefing’ to the government warning of the vague possibility that if the economy turns a bit nasty there ay be some riots in the streets by those unfortunate enough to be effected by such a downturn in the economy.

Bolt, however, sees this more of a racial thing than an economic thing. Never one to miss an opportunity to stir the racial pot, Bolt, merely by mentioning the notion that riots could be ‘a sign of increased tribalism’ – when there is no evidence at all that there will be any riots, let alone race riots – is effectively encouraging just that.

What else would one expect from a convicted racist?

BOLT CONTINUES TO EXPLOIT BOATPEOPLE TRAGEDY TO PUSH HIS ANTI-BOATPEOPLE STANCE


Bolt’s column continued today to sickenly exploit the recent boatpeople tragedy by cynically calling for the government to stop the boats by threatening people that come to Australia by boat with long detention in places they don’t want to be in order to deter them from coming to Australia.

Clearly, the only reason they want to deter asylum seeking boatpeople from coming to Australia, is not because they care about their safety, but because they are Islamophobic racists and do not want non-white people to come to Australia. It’s as simple as that.
