Titolo: "World leaders should start distancing themselves from such a man"

If there are two golden rules to being Silvio Berlusconi, they are to stay 
in the limelight and to blame others for your own misfortunes. He achieved 
both this week after he was hit in the face by a man with a history of 
mental illness. As Italy agonised for a second day about whether the attack 
was a product of what the prime minister called the climate of hatred 
against him, Mr Berlusconi was quick to exploit from his hospital bedside 
the sympathy that many had expressed.
Fabrizio Cicchitto, the leader of Berlusconi's The People of Freedom party 
in the lower house of parliament, said the attack was primed by a "pitiless 
campaign of hatred". Mr Cicchitto went on to name those whom he alleged were 
responsible for that campaign: the newspaper La Repubblica, the news 
magazine L'espresso, Marco Travaglio, the author of a book about Mr 
Berlusconi's alleged links with the mafia, both opposition parties, and 
certain criminal prosecutors. That's quite a list, and to name a journalist 
as having anything to do with an assault by a deranged man, either directly 
or indirectly, is a tried and tested technique from a darker period of 
European history. Not content with slanderous statements, Mr Berlusconi 
intends to legislate. His interior minister said that the cabinet meeting 
tomorrow would consider two new bills restricting demonstrations and curbing 
"hate sites" on the internet.
Instead of seeking political scapegoats, the 73-year-old media tycoon should 
ask himself why 250,000 Italians flocked to a No Berlusconi Day in Rome 
earlier this month. In the rest of Europe and beyond, there are 
demonstrations against policies or governments. In Italy, people demonstrate 
against a prime minister not for what he represents, but for who he is. For 
good reason. Here is a man embroiled in sex scandals detailing his alleged 
use of prostitutes. Losing immunity from prosecution, he is on trial in two 
cases for fraud, tax evasion and bribery. And for this, he seeks to blame 
journalists, newspapers, and criminal prosecutors who insist on doing their 
job and refuse to be cowed by him.
The physical assault he sustained was vicious and nasty. But there is no 
evidence that the attack was organised by others. The Facebook groups that 
have sprung up praising the repentant assailant are tasteless, but they 
little warrant a clampdown on internet sites deemed to "incite violence". 
This is a response reminiscent of a central Asian republic. Far from 
humouring Mr Berlusconi's attention-grabbing antics in meetings like the G20 
in London earlier this year, world leaders should start distancing 
themselves from such a man.

Al di l� di qualsiasi simpatia o antipatia, bisognerebbe riflettere su 
questa frasetta:
*to name a journalist
as having anything to do with an assault by a deranged man, either directly
or indirectly, is a tried and tested technique from a darker period of
European history*
Anche il signor Polito dovrebbe rifletterci

 Anche il signor Polito dovrebbe rifletterci
e i signori che si beano degli editoriali del parassita liberale
Polito, che ruba milioni di tasse dei cittadini per ogni pagina che
"pubblica" (metto le virgolette, perchè per pubblicare bisogna avere
un pubblico, e non ne risulta uno per il suo giornale)
