Bolt is a troll

[romeohwho]

Really? Which programs do you think skew right?

To be fair, no it's not only whackos, but the range of views does go from center-left to whacko-left.

Got an example of whacko left on the abc?

 

[Pie eyed]

Serious question...
Why do you imply only whackos work for the ABC?
I really believe that the ABC is fairly balanced, sure there are some programs that may appear a bit left-Insiders but there are certainly some on air commentators that report 'right' but in the main I think it is very balanced and have the best investigative and informative programs.
When programs have guests they always have them from both sides.

The problem is Maggie the right wing guests invariably make absolute fools of themselves and this is obviously the fault of the ABC.
It is mostly because asking questions is a left wing tactic designed to trip up the right wing guest.
Free to air interviewers utter only pre-scripted invitations for the right wing guests to deliver the carefully rehearsed, pre-practiced alarmist sound bytes they have been provided with by the party.
These generally only consist of three words, repeated several times in succession, sometimes four if they are very little words, but sometimes only two if the words have many syllables.

Ann Coulter is on tonight with Andrew. Should be a good one. Can't wait for it.

Ann Coulter is probably the world's least likely Dead head.

Yep, listening to them say the same things they've been saying for 15 years will be awesome.

Calling Bolt a troll is highly insulting, to trolls !

 

[Gough]

I'm enjoying those leftist, cultural Marxists at the ABC giving Bolt a chance to say that there's nobody less racist than he. Sorry mate, you're a racist, by order of the court, and no amount of self righteous bleating can change that.

 

[Dan26]

Give it up, Gough, he isn't a racist and you know it. Basing your opinion on 18C would mean you would call the 4 Q.U.T students racist, when anyone with a brain can tell you that they're not.

There is a not a racist bone in Andrew Bolt's body, as shown by the 4th video below. That "racist" slur is a disgusting caricature that has no basis in anything he has said. Just quote for me one - just one - item he has wrote (word for word) and tell me why it is racist. He argues strongly AGAINST racism, and did so brilliantly at the leftist "festival of dangerous ideas" in Sydney last week. Watch them all. He handled himself brilliantly don't you think?

Put it this way in a hundred years Gough will be remembered as giant of this country

Yes and Shane Watson will be hailed as better than Bradman.

As racist as Whitlam was towards the Vietnamese?

 

[medusala]

If you want to use spending in government as an indicator of political leanings, John Howard was the most lefty PM in history, that guy spent like a drunken sailor, and y'all loved him for it.

Keating, Abbott, Gillard/Rudd all spent more did they not? I thought you hated Howard for "spending" money on "wasteful" tax cuts?

In any event who can forget the actions of that economic genius who managed to increase spending by over 40% in a single year?

 

[Gough]

Nice try Dan, but just as Terra Nullius is bollocks, Dolly Dunn is a nonce, Bolt is a racist, and none of his self righteous bleating can reverse that decision.

Have a look at the offending articles mate - they are bristling with insults against the people he claimed to be too white to be black - abject racism.

Whitlam had his fair share of faults. East Timor for one.

But he was a Giant in austrlian politics and achieved more than any PM before or since,

Universal healthcare. we would not have medicare without Gough. It's fundamental reform that the austrlaian people love. Healthcare should not depend on how much money you have,

Universal access to higher education, about your scores in high school not how much money you have. Opened up universities to the whole populace. fundamental reform.

No Fault Divorce before 1975 you had togo to court and find someone guilty, with difficulties of a breakup money, children, tis need to find someone guilty did not help.

got someone own mind who did more important stuff?

Beware of people saying "I'm not racist, I don't see colour, i just judge people based on their ideas/personality/education etc.," who don't also acknowledge the systematic issues impacting on indigenous populations.

For the most part I have grudging admiration for the Afrikaans who were at least honest about their racism. Dudes like Bolt skirt around the edges with inferences, and innuendos, because they're too cowardly to say what they really think.

No they're not. Read them. He was arguing AGAINST racism, not for it. Jesus Christ, you're dense. He was arguing that THEY were using their race to gain an advantage, when it wasn't even clear what race they were. To suggest Bolt is a racist goes against everything he stands for. Read his articles. Read his opinion. He argues AGAINST it

Yes, he just argues for merit based selection and the maintenance of the status quo without ever having to grapple with the systemic issues that have lead to why things are the way they are.

It's not about "reversing the decision". The law is a bad law, and needs to be changed. You know that, I know it, everyone knows it. This is about Bolt as a person. There wouldn't be a journalist in Australia as anti-racism as Bolt. Watch the videos. Calling him a racist is typical left-wing smear aimed to shut the other person up. It seems in modern Australia if you just want everyone treated equally, in a meritocracy without affirmative action and for people to be judged on the content of their character as Andrew Bolt does that must make you a racist because you don't want preferential treatment for people of a different skin colour.

The real racism has always been on the left in this country. Remember this racist crap from Shorten? Tony Abbott or Andrew Bolt would never resort to racism like the left do in the below video.

Bolt arguing against racism. Watch from 2:15 onwards.

OK let freedom ring! It's like the people on his blog that say "throwing a banana - racist? I don't get it".

Accepting Terra Nullius was a lie is not racist

Ignorant people are racist. Bolt is not ignorant and therefore not racist. He is highly thoughtful and obviously intelligent. He doesn't believe that one "race" is superior and I would ask you and other left-wing people to stop throwing the word "racist" around purely to stop debate. It's pathetic

Throwing a banana as such, isn't racist....Throwing a banana at a colored person however, definitely is....It's all about connotations.

Come on Comrade. Just because you insult someone doesn't mean its racism.

Geoff Clarke was one of those who was insulted. Surely if there is someone worthy of insulting it is he.

Italy don't play "friendlies" against Croatia anymore because the Cro fans demonstrating their freedom
Of expression kept mystifyingly throwing bananas at Balotelli - buggered if I know why

The other Bolt blog favourite is Ape has no racial connotations
