Left

The Occupy protests are fighting for freedom, truth, justice, equality, and the right to wear tents as casual attire.

Imposter or genuine Occupier? You decide. Pic: Jake Nowakowski

In the course of their battle they have faced many enemies; authoritarian authorities, policing police, the Melbourne weather. But now, it seems, they are to face their biggest enemy.

The enemy within.

    Look, Bertrand, you’ve been relatively polite, but there are a couple of quotes I do need to dissect: “And I’m sorry, but to place the blame for the collapse on having regulation in the market is dishonest.” Not regulation.  Even the most rabid libertarians would concede the rule of law’s… Read more »

 

In another high water mark for human decency, left-wing and right-wing commentators have recently managed to cast blame on each other over the unthinkably horrible massacre in Norway.

Both sides of the political spectrum have abandoned grace and decency. Pic: AP.

It is of course deeply offensive to suggest either side is responsible for this atrocity. Especially when the truth is they both are.

In fact the far left have done more to promote the easy-flowing spread of right-wing ideology and sentiment than any other socio-political group, the “socio” being “upper middle class” and the political being “retarded”.

    Actually, I think Joe was trying to say more like, “in my experience, I’ve been treated more badly by leftist fundamentalists than rightist ones. Both extremists suck but the left have been ruder—in my experience—and I wish they’d stop that so they could actually get more done.” The “in his… Read more »

    Long-winded and hypocritical Joe. You’re seriously using the Left/Right dichotomy? You’ve just made your own definition of what’s radical and you’re whingeing. Just look at policies, not this silly ‘political spectrum’ bogus. Everybody knows that the Libs aren’t totally about individual freedoms, Labor isn’t totally about working families and the… Read more »

 

It took just hours for the media to finger the villain responsible for the shooting of US Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

The now-infamous crosshairs image

It was Sarah Palin what done it, officer. And other Right-wingers just like that witch.

Such is the deranged hatred that so many on the Left feel for the former Republican vice-presidential candidate.

It's a Sydney thing, but 95.3FM... Why? It used to be all Bohemian Rhapsody and Walk this Way; now it's Father to Son and Country Road. Wah.
