Bolt sees himself as an influential and perhaps essential political agent, he is so full of his own importance in the scheme of things. Look at who he influences though - bigoted dimwits who are filled with hatred and envy yet completely lacking in self awareness and critical thinking skills. Bolt's goons get 'bolted' just as much as his political and ideological targets. <br /><br />I'd be surprised if even Bolt takes what he writes and says as seriously as his knuckledragging fans, he's a propagandist for hire. No thought from Bolt of any moral/ethical responsibility (that's used as a weapon against the enemy), just whatever it takes, the ends justifies the means when you are a mercenary, a warrior for conservatism.armchair opionatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-79456703095278803962011-03-16T16:08:51.005+11:002011-03-16T16:08:51.005+11:00From Paul

My only reason for saying that is if you watch crap like Insiders you get what you deserve.

Though perhaps a referral for help from Mcgory - would be punishment enough.<br />Why not have a raffle where the loser gets to dine with the rabble from Insiders and the proceeds go for them to do a Adult Ed course in journalism, sorry Adult Ed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-44404919394239259662011-03-16T15:57:06.416+11:002011-03-16T15:57:06.416+11:00Sorry, Grog.

The attempted smear is a wonderful example of his m.o. - the ad hominem attack, based on either the flimsiest evidence or - in this case - downright misinformation.<br />An amusing discovery this afternoon: I was alerted to go to Julie Bishop's website (not somewhere I normally hang out) to her online poll about attitude to a carbon tax. As of 3.45 p.m. this afternoon, 67% strongly SUPPORTED a carbon tax, with 23% strongly opposed.<br />I suspect that it's possibly like Bolt's smear - an inability of some people to read properly.

Last Saturday he ran a blog . It was basically about idiots who attribute Japan's disaster to global warming. Andrew gives a source, The Daily Caller. (The Daily Who?). When you open the source it is mainly tweets, some saying there is a relationship, others saying it's rubbish but, no matter, Andrew uses the source to attack those who believe climate change is happening.<br />Perhaps Andrew could have used Saturday's editorial in his very own Herald Sun which read,"“..... What these events prove is that climate change is real. Stark memories of the earthquake and the tsunami that took 200,000 lives in Asia remain.” Is he insinuating his editor is an idiot?Mick O'Maranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434369190746987531.post-69955670573434391642011-03-15T08:37:25.019+11:002011-03-15T08:37:25.019+11:00First the Oz, now Bolt.
