On second thought, longy, don't bother providing support for the quotes. Just leave them there as proof of your graceless lack of tact, speaking ill of the dead just because their viewpoints differ from your own. Your conduct is disgraceful.

Bob Ellis' political commentary had degenerated to the truly ludicrous and borderline insane.

Same response to Bam and Greg - What about those who celebrated when Thatcher died?

Well we ignore those as most of the good people on the left would also.
We honour talented & genuine Aussies of whatever side.
I honour Julia Gillard for her hard work .

. . .now that she's off the scene.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

what about them?

I mean why didn't they criticise them too.

who says they didn't?

I remember it, nobody said anything on here at the time.

Also some disgusting ex-prostitute whose name I can't recall was on Q&A talking about not having a glass of champagne. Nobody on the show or in the audience said anything. They didn't praise it but they didn't condemn it either.

so you don't remember it? and everyone is supposed to run with that? Grin

There's been a bit of a trend lately.

matty, ian, Longy, Armpit, et al.

If they say it's so, it must be true.

No evidence or cited reference required.

And they wonder why the rest of us treat them with such utter contempt.

Sad

Probably, it was a joke about the medias tendency to have a go at people in life (e.g. some of the media running about Dis trysts etc) only to completely ignore that when they die and call them fantastically top people.

I was listening to a interview with Jack Marx and he mentioned the same phenomenon about Steve Irwin, when he was alive, the media were calling him a buffoon etc, when he died, he was an Australian icon etc.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Unlikely, it was just as likely an overly sensitive rightards attempt at jumping on the outrage bus.
