Reply to Why is it only Aussies can get it right? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I know Costello less well, but I'm sorry this sounds very unlikely to be Costello. Costello is not as calculated as JH in his comments, but he is less racist in his attitudes. Many Labor supporters actually quite want him to take over as PM because he is far more Left than John Howard. And quite frankly, it still doesn't sound like Costello's turn of phrase either. And perhaps the biggest nail in the coffin is that if Costello had said this stuff it would have got wall to wal

I'm sure some Australians eg Fred Nile, Alan Jones would make such refernces to Christianity. In fact, I'd believe you if you said this was Alan Jones. But John Howard very rarely refers to Christianity. He's no born again.

Look I don't care what Snopes says, it's not Howard. I have listened to Howard for longer than his 11 years as PM and I can recognise when something's been ghost written for him in the papers and I can recognise a complete fabrication like this. For all Howard may be, this is not how he talks. To be honest this is such a poor imitation of Howard, only someone who's never heard him speak could seriously think this is a genuine John Howard quote. He's not that verbose for a start. He is t

Firstly, anyone else remember that these comments are nearly 2 years old. I personally thought the whole thing was beat up, and I don't particularly object to Costello's comments. However, there seem to be a lot of new comments you've included which are a complete fabrication. They don't sound anything like John Howard. He doesn't talk that way, and they're not included on your linked sites.

The Right sees Left bias everywhere in Politics JoeUser Forums

For the second time in a month a right winger has whinged to me about our left-biased media and I'm going to get this off my chest because it's ridiculous. When I described the media of today as right biased, I was asked "which newspapers have you been reading?" (Sorry fishhead). Link In response: The Australian,

Gee that's quite a leap (or 2) you made there. So the homeowners here are environmentalists apparently. You base this on what? The fact they don't like cities? And as to what the environmental issue is with the story, I'm sorry but you've got me stumped. The environmentalists are over here. Completely and utterly bemused by your latest blog.

Embrace Capitalism Comrades! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm a lefty as my username makes painfully obvious. I used to be a commy. I still believe thee is an important truth to the old adage that if you're not a commy when you're 20, you don't have a heart. Uni students should always try to be as left as they can personally manage and get active in demonstrations. But I digress. I am not a commy (at the age of 24 :

zergimmi, as an ex-atheist who was like, I still think they're in the right. Believers who shoev it down atheist's throats are so much kore annoying than the atheists, so much more disrespectful. Most importantly they usually start it, and considering they're in the majority, it seems so annoying for them to whinge about being oppressed.
