Why the double standard???
Jul 2^nd, 2013 at 5:22pm

All hell broke loose when someone said Gillard's father died of shame, provoking outrage among leftists with all sorts of demands made on Abbott. Yet that imbecile Josh Thomas has posted a sexually explicit Tweet regarding Tony Abbott's mother and not a word from anyone on the left. Oh, the hypocrisy!!!

Not merely 'someone'. It was Allan Jones. Are you putting this lightweight Thomas (who) in his league?

I agree armpit, you always display a double standard. After all, Did you start a thread condemning Allan when he made his comment?

No, all Jones did was repeat what was said and he also condemned it. Try sorting fact from fiction now and then, eh?

If someone had said something sexual about Gillard's mum, the emotional meltdown and hysteria from the leftists would generate enough power to run 3 nuclear power plants.

No, you're right. I was thinking of a different incident. Apologies! In any case, no matter who said it, it was something that should never have been said.

I can't recall - but it was one where Jones was just repeating what was said in his "Allan Jones Comments..." segment and in which he condemned the person who originally made the comment. I think it was a unionist, if I remember right.
