content: In the "just locked" "Stupids---etc" thread,I made the comment that the young lady referred to in that thread had probably got her misinformation from some "right wing halfwit" on an American Website.This somehow got Uncle Vernon upset----maybe he thought that I was "having a go" at the quite legitimate,& sensiblesupporters of the right wing side of Australian politics.This was not at all my intention,as the people I was talking about are so far right that they would call Tony Abbot a Marxist!There has been a nasty bit of crap appearing on the Internet,attributed variously to John Howard,Kevin Rudd,& even Julia Gillard,http://madmikesamerica.com/2012/06/former-australian-pm-john-howard-muslims-must-adapt-or-get-out/Anybody who has lived in Australia & listened to Mr Howard would know such downright dog crap is not his style at all,or that of the other two PMs.The link I gave is actually exposing the "speech" as a scam,but there are others propagating it around the 'Net.One thing they did get right,is that Mr Howard is a Christian,as is Mr Rudd,but neither of them would express the sentiments attributed.I've seen another version purporting to be a speech by the French PM.What gets my goat is that some moron (& he would be just as stupid if he had chosen a left wing cause),thinks that putting his own words into the mouths of distinguished Australians (& Frenchmen) gives it any more gravity than if he had dribbled it himself.If the original young lady got things wrong because she was dumb,that is one thing,but it sounds a lot as if she had been fed this propaganda.

content: Quote from: vk6zgo on November 09, 2012, 12:29:11 pmNo it didn't! I was simply pointing out that misinformation and character assassination had become the tools in trade of political extremists on both sides. Our current government thrives on playing the man and not the policy, a quick reference to the libelous tirade blurted out by minister for bad Clark Kent impersonations, Greg Combet, today.QuoteYep just as nutty as the bizarre claims coming from our sad excuse for a government, who blame all their own woes, Hurricane Sandy, the global financial crisis and Nicola Roxon's haircut on the opposition leader.QuoteThere is a lot of nasty lunatic crap on the internet and within our mainstream media, best approach is to never give it oxygenQuoteUnfortunately it is a very effective tactic, 6:30pm television and the fact that most vocal climate scientists are journalists and lobbyists serving to support my assertion.QuoteShe is certainly not the brightest bulb, but when you consider both here and in the USA politicians are being elected because of prior prowess on the stage and the sporting field, you soon come to terms with the fact that there is an epidemic of dumb about!

content: Unc! did you look at the link?These Yank nutters for reasons of their own,are putting words in the mouth of John Howard that he never spoke!They give themselves away with the "Our Pledge" part.Slanting the news,or saying a lot of crap on their own behalf,is one thing,but saying Mr Howard said things he didn't is another--not just twisting his real words,but making up a whole speech & saying he made it,really gripes me!Some people say they agree with the speech & wish,he,or Kevin Rudd,or Julia Gillard,or the French PM,or Uncle Tom Cobley or whoever else it has been attributed to had made it,but the fact is it is a lie,& the offence is in the lie,not the text.I never would have voted for John Howard in a fit,but the fact remains that it is an affront to the dignity of his then position as Prime Minister,& hence to my country.OK,John,Kevin,Julia,& Tony,are Pollies & they may make promises they don't keep,but they have to take it on the chin when they are found out,they don't make up total bull & hide behind someone else's name.

content: Quote from: vk6zgo on November 09, 2012, 03:02:08 pmNo and I have no intention to, we only get eighty odd years on the planet, if I wanted to waste a moment of it listening to the rantings of a lunatic. I'd subscribe to Lee Rhianons website. Why import madness when we have our own on-shoreQuoteSounds a hell of a lot like Julia's work. Seems it was only the copies of documentation at Slater & Gordon that got shredded. The rantings of some random nutter on the internet are a lot less dangerous than the perversion of justice and diversionary tactics happening within the ranks of our Parliament. Misogyny claims a poisonous diversion to try and attract redirect away from her own sorry record.Quotesure they do. That's why I'd rather not quote these lunatics. There are hundreds of similar twerps penning all manner of poisonous and thankfully unread blogs.QuoteA mess-load of union funded excess says you are wrong on that!

Mind you there will be some coming up in Canberra.Quote from: Jon Chandler on November 09, 2012, 07:46:58 pmPerhaps if you had a clue you'd have worked out this thread was a clarification by vk6zgo and not a continuation of a closed thread. If you want to start telling me what I can and cannot post or reply on a forum you do not run then you can take a hint!
