Whilst I don't agree with Andrew Bolt on everything, (particularly his rather off-putting stance re- Wikileaks)...I think he's entitled to an opinion, as should be anyone in this country.

I am pro-Wikileaks, and also pro-Andrew Bolt.

Cool

Politics doesn't have to be black or white.

He's (Bolt) is employed to have an 'opinion' that's the whole point....

It doesn't matter if he's pro-Liberal, or pro-Labor.....the whole point is, it's HIS opinion.....

I'd like a dollar for every time some leftard control-freak has called for Bolts resignation.

Bolt wont resign, and why should he?

I distinctly recall a Greens senator/spokesperson requesting a water ministers resignation not all that long ago...something about their not believing in global warming?

http://www.alisonxamon.org.au/node/305

The Greens call for many resignations so it seems, but could it be said they would do best accepting a few of their own?

I thought Bob Brown had plans on retiring soon.

Apparently not.

Cool

Exactly.

Basically, Bob Brown is requesting Bolts resignation due to him publishing his own point of view.

I think it's time old Bob went to a home. Cool

Julia Gillard doesn't like people having an opinion that is different from hers, and she has upset the GALP since.
But Bob Brown has made a big fool of himself (again) by denying freedom of speech.

Must be like pushing sht uphill there Bob, but who better than Bob Brown to get stuck into that as afterall thats his forte!

The lefties don't like it when they lose the argument.
As evidenced by the antics on this board from the lefties.

Bolt, Ackerman and Jones could have their own show on channel 10 called : MASTER RACE.
They could get Neo Nationalist gangs of 20 or more to compete for the title while putting forward their own far right doctorine to the Australian population.

Events could be : kicking to death the aged Aborigonal man in a dark ally.

Gang raping and mudering the lone Vietnamese Grandmother.

Knifing a lone Iraqi taxi driver at night, stealing his cash and then drive his taxi into the Yarra with him locked in the boot.

Humiliating a young Chinese couple in a public park and posting it on the internet.

Shouting down meetings discussing the intergration of Asylum seekers and handing out hate pamphlets to school kids.

There could be points awarded for cowardice, the biggest group on the smallest and most vunerable target, blame shifting, the most amount of cash stolen, the most humliated victim, the most sensless act of violence and the biggest drain on the welfare system.

This would be an ideal vehicle for Bolt Ackerman and Jones to showcase their views and talents

The hypocrisy of the ALP.

"Will Labor be as tough on its own policies in the wake of this disaster as it was on the Howard Government’s in 2001, after the sinking of the SIEV X in Indonesian waters?

TONY JONES: Con Sciacca, ...In the face of this tragedy, was it a mistake for Kim Beazley to link the deaths of these boat people to the Government’s failure to get a deal from Indonesia to stop them leaving?

CON SCIACCA, SHADOW MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION: Tony, I don’t think that that is the case. What Kim Beazley clearly said was that this was a human tragedy of enormous proportions.

He then went on to say that, if there had not been a failure in Government policy in stopping this insidious people smuggling trade, the fact is that this may not have happened.

He wasn’t blaming anybody. He didn’t blame anybody at all.

TONY JONES: Con Sciacca, that is tantamount to blame, isn’t it? Suggesting that a failure of Government policy had something to do with the deaths of people in a tragedy like this?

CON SCIACCA: No, what he was actually saying was, is that, if we were able to stop them coming from Indonesia in the first place, that these sorts of things wouldn’t happen.

Will Labor suggest what Senator John Faulkner insinuated against Howard - that its security services had deliberately murdered these boat people:

In 2002 then Labor frontbencher and later defence minister John Faulkner demanded the “authorities” answer questions about steps taken to disrupt people-smugglers, asking whether the SIEV X had been sabotaged and said the protocols for ASIS and the AFP operating in Indonesia “were not meant as a direct or indirect licence to kill”."

Yes and now the Libs are showing their hypocrisy by doing exactly the same thing.
Which is why I fully endorse Prevailing's call for REVOLUTION! Cheesy

So Bolt calls for Gillard to resign after this huh. If Gillard has blood on her hands for this, Bolt does also for the Iraq war. But asking Bolt to acknowledge his hypocrisy is pointless. He hurls insults and abuse then gets uppity when it gets thrown back. Maybe Bolt should move into politics. Nar, he wouldn't do that, then he'd have to be responsible for what he says, he'd have to get out from behind his safety cell and put his violent rhetoric into effect.
I, for one, will not be so tolerant if he ever throws unjustified abuse in my direction.
