Anyone who watches question time in the House of Representatives will be simply amazed at how low the bar has been set by the Opposition. Between Tony shit eating Abbott and the slop Jockey it is hard to recall a less impressive display of intellectual jousting. The depths to which this lot sink on a daily basis would be amusing ( in a theatre of the absurd kind of way) if it was'nt so tragic for the body politic.
Now the dog whistle is out again. Gutter Trash has the good oil on the latest scraping of the barrel by Sharmain Stone, Scullion et al. Where does all this hatred of different people under extreme duress come from? Is it part of their DNA? Do they learn it as part of their potty training, or suckling at the breast?
The standard line of the hate merchants is that everyone who supports the entry of asylum seekers is soft in the head - credulous buffoons who put human rights ahead of national interest considerations. It seems, in their small minds, that boat people are all economic refugees prepared to leave their cultural moorings, families and friends and everything familiar for the good life in our Islam demonizing, minorities marginalizing utopia. Today Scullion has come out with the enlightened view that our bio-security is under threat by boat people. [In good Southern US accent] Nigel, that doggy don't hunt, & keep taking the pills.
At least Howard brought this interesting bunch out into the open, away from the dark corners of the body politic. We can now expose their invariably simple minded postures to the bright light of day and subject their thinking to rational analysis. Good luck with that!
