The intolerance of tolerance: Tony Abbott's head butt episode : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 26/9/2017

The tolerant brigades had disappeared, and the revolutionary pugilists, behind the comfort of a tweet, were coming out.

Trust the pompously ridiculous George Brandis to deny that head butting Tony Abbott had anything to do with the vicious YES campaign; he got the 'burka as a religious garment' wrong too! All the time lately, he is getting the ethos of his party wrong as well.

Not only are the far left against free speech they think anybody who disagrees with their views must be stupid. This is our tax dollars at work people.

When in the act of apparently shaking a wobbly boot, drunk's hand, you vigorous pull the hand towards you, to have the f staggering inebriated, stagger forward, only to have his severely limited balance somewhat restored by contacting another more stable object, head first.

And therefore, able to be recounted very economically, by someone with a publicly verifiable history of said, exampled economy!?

And pales completely in comparison to the, done while sober? No case, attack on Young Mr Rudd?

And just what you'd expect from the unrepresentative swill, who belong on the wrong side of history! Or way back in the dark ages replete with crusading hordes trying to enforce their fantasies/megalomania, on all others/non believers!

This smells to high heaven of more of the manufactured confection that is being deliberately and seriously unhelpful, as this extremely costly survey runs a course that coulda shoulda been, game set and match months ago!

Or just made completely unnecessary by fearless leaders, leading from the front!

And in Mr Turnbull's case that coulda shoulda been to resign from the party, destroying its one vote majority, to effectively force an election?

Where he coulda stood as an independant, if disendorsed? Moreover, in a close run thing, been able to call the shots from the cross/back benches?

Courage of conviction separates the wheat from the chaff, the extraordinary from the merely mediocre!

I wonder how well the party would do, if an "economical" Tony Abbott were installed as leader, just prior to an earlier than expected general election!

Obviously, the vox populi would be extremely pleased with this, [what? again?] result and want to personally thank Mr Abbott. His backbench zealots and the coalition at the ballot box!

What, if only, coulda shoulda excuses do you have for the Grandkids, Mr T?

the head butting of Abbott is consistent with the tantrum throwing left whose only course of action when losing arguments is to label others Nazis and bigots or performing violent acts. Any rational person knows that biology dictates that marriage is between man and woman.

The left & the faggots do need to start taking a bit of care with their descent into violence as a tactic. Perhaps they have not thought their use of violence through very thoroughly.

Until very recently the defence force was not a natural home for faggots, or lefties. That means there are many thousands of retired defence folk, thoroughly trained in the use of serious violence, who are quietly holding their piece, but with growing annoyance.

Annoy them enough lefties, at your peril. If they get really annoyed you had better make sure you are protesting alongside some one you can run faster than.

The gentleman who did the head butting has demonstrated the quality of the heads that want us to vote "Yes"
