Rudd Threatens To Quit Labor
Jul 15^th, 2011 at 10:46pm

Loree Rudd urged to say sorry for gay slur

The Anti Defamation Commission has joined calls for former prime minister Kevin Rudd's sister to apologise over an anti-gay marriage remark.

Loree Rudd is lobbying federal MPs and threatening to quit Labor if the party backs gay marriage at its national conference in December.

She accused some Labor members of being brainwashed by a "global gay Gestapo" this week.

The ADC, Australia's peak Jewish human rights body, said she should apologise.

"It is completely unacceptable for anyone to co-opt and trivialise the name of one of the most active and feared arms of the Nazi machinery for their own political purposes," ADC chairman Anton Block said in a statement on Friday.

"The Gestapo was directly responsible for the murders of Jewish, Romani, homosexual and disabled people.

"To use its name in this context shows a level of ignorance and insensitivity that has no place in contemporary political discourse.

"It is highly offensive, and we call upon Ms Rudd to apologise immediately and unreservedly."

Four state ALP conferences have endorsed changes to legalise same-sex marriage under federal law. NSW Labor last week refused to back the proposal and referred the issue to the national conference.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she does not have any plans to change the marriage act.

The coalition also opposes legislating for same-sex marriage but the Greens support it.

It was the least offence of a few I thought up. Also this shows Labor could lose a portion of their support base if they do support human equality, and also if they don't.

The left - especially the lunatic Greens, only believe in "Free Speech" when it spurts out of their own mouths.

Obnoxious, ignorant, braying donkeys. . .

But it is when they indoctrinate schoolchildren that it ceases to be funny.

So how will the Right be gagged if

all

Australians are protected by the Greens' Australian Bill Of Rights Policy?

Some of these rightwing posters show via their posts that they don't think logically, aye olde.sault. Or is it just before midday with you?
