The new zealots and Alan Jones : Comments

By Nick Ferrett, published 9/10/2012

The corollary is that the very large number of people who enjoy listening to Mr Jones should not be permitted that pleasure.

Or the counter-view Aka:

...Maybe more of the younger generation should get off drugs and alcohol and take an objective view of how the world really is, and not a look through the sop and soap of counter revolutions, motivated at the drop of a hat through social media sites for example, with little or no forethought to consequences of a "stampede mentality" that engages life on the level of a "clicking mouse".

...Pick up a rifle and join a counter-revolution and feel the hotness of the lead, is how life is "lived". Something akin to Egypt or Syria at the moment: Mix and match! Dedication and personal risk! Then you have a right to a say!

'"PROSTITUTION TAKES MANY FORMS AND IS NOT ONLY THE EXCHANGE OF MONEY FOR SEX....PROSTITUTION IN MARRIAGE IS THE TRANSACTIONOF SEX IN RETURN FOR LOVE, SECURITY AND HOUSEKEEPING" '

and those ascribing to this view are happy to see nothing wrong with sex that breaks up marriages! How self righteous can people be?

imajulianutter,

...True what you say...but where is the life of a politician, (especially one with such gall as our Julia), without a huge slice of hypocrisy and amnesia of the past?

Hey this site is becoming as much fun to read as world news daily. Just reading the little right wing posters, wiping spittle from the corners of their mouths as they type away.

Come on guys start throwing words in like "treason" or the "founding fathers". Or even my favourite "return to God" or it that just for Americans. Diver Dan you're playing your part well. you almost make runner sound like he is on a even keel. Let's have a tea party of our own

I must admit I never thought of the Alan Jones situation in the same way as this author points out.
While I am not a fan of the man, I don't believe that his right to free speech should be stymied by people who never listen to him. There are apparently many people out there who are fans of this bitter old man's radio show, and they should be allowed to continue listening to him.
.
If his listeners turned away in their droves after his recent nasty comments, then so be it, his job would be finished. But I don't agree with the way his detractors , for whatever reasons, have waged this online vendetta to get Jones off the air.

I don't necessarily believe that his detractors are all right-wing conservatives at all.
One doesn't have to be a God believer or supposedly have 'high morals' to be upset by what Jones says on occasion. I think his sort of nastiness is fairly universally condemned.

I doubt if his alleged sexual orientation is a cause of the vitriolic outcry either, or he wouldn't be a 'guest' speaker at Liberal Party functions, nor would Abbot attend his radio station.

I doubt very much though if Jones would be welcome at Abbot's Tea Party...
