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.

So Andrew Bolt sent troops into Iraq?

So Julia Gillard put people on a boat?

She may as well have by her continued insistence on having laws that are weak which provide no deterrent to smugglers.

Julia Gillards go soft policies lured the boat people, it was her policies that directly caused the boat people to be there in the first place.

Another day, another cynical attempt by right whingers to gain political mileage out of the desperate and stateless...

Quote:

A cable obtained by WikiLeaks and provided to Fairfax says an unnamed "key Liberal Party strategist" told US diplomats in November last year that the issue of asylum seekers was "fantastic" for the coalition and "the more boats that come the better".

Bolt is a Hack, and most rational thinking people know it.

However, calling for his resignation merely because he is a hack is probably playing into his hands.

He wants to be seen as the guy who "tells it like it is". In reality he is just another far right nutter with a following of angry bogans. Calls for his resignation, or any sanctions against him, will just make him into some kind of martyr.

Further, as much as I find his views simplistic and repugnant, I also feel that silencing him would be more repugnant. You can't limit free speech to speech that you like or agree with.

HEAR HEAR Smiley

to miss annie dryst-
put that in your pipe and smoke it. This is the same reason I dont read Andrew Dolt.
I hear enough of what 'his' intent is and I am not interested in his Opinion. yet I did access that link you supplied - which indeed proved my point.
But dont let rational thinking stop YOU from quoting bolts opinions... Grin

On the new show MASTER RACE the hosts Bolt, Ackerman and Jones would award bonus points if contestants can shift the blame for the gangs of thugs crimes against victims to the Gillard govt and extra bonus points if Bob Brown and the Greens can somehow be blamed as well.
Bolt, Ackerman and Jones all have first class experience at blame shifting so Im sure they are well qualified to give advice and pick out a deserving winner

I think you're on a winner there, that show would rate through the roof with the rightarded xenophobes with huge stiffies every episode.
Call John Singleton, he'd sponsor it for you, lets face it he pays the wages for Ray Hadley and Gloria Jones.

There is no need for Bolt to do anything.

His call for Gillard to resign is valid.

You look at this terrible tragedy which fills us all with sadness and you see how preventable it was.

Poor and weak policy have caused more and more boats of desperate people to come to Christmas Island.
They must be stopped before there is such another tragedy.

I totally agree. Judging by the stupidity of the proponents for increased people smugling, and the stupidity of those who can`t grasp that weak policy directly encourages the growth of same, it`s obvious that more sensible heads must prevail.

This sad tragedy happened in an easily viewed location, one wonders how many other poor souls have lost their lives in similar circumstances, although there will always be those so low as to try to cheapen our sadness and pity.

She may as well have by her continued insistence on having laws that are weak which provide no deterrent to smugglers.

1. You're devolving the smugglers of any responsibility for their own actions.
2. You're claiming that people 100 times removed from an event can be blamed for that event. If this is the case then Bolt also "has blood on his hands" for his support of the Iraq war. This is Bolt's reasoning turned back on himself.

"Directly caused", pfft. Only if you sever the link of cause and effect to the hundredth degree.

1. Where is the personal responsibility of the smugglers and the people on the boat?
2. If the chain of cause and effect can be twisted to the hundredth degree then Bolt "has blood on his hands" for his support of the Iraq war.
This is Bolt's reasoning turned back on himself.
