Jones is very pragmatic.He chooses his causes to suit the agenda of the status quo.Today he was by innuendo criticising the Occupy Movement but will not say a word about the criminals who caused the GFC and continue to steal via QU3 and putting us in more debt.

Jones is right about the CO2 tax but we cannot trust the Coalition either with Turnbull wanting and ETS + tax for another derivative for his Goldman Sachs mates

I also wasn't aware, that as well as parliamentary privilege, we have left-wing comedian privilege. There seems to be a hell of a lot of these "comedian's".

Deveney is a left wing social commentator. Just because she has an acid tongue and no brain doesn't turn her into a comedian. Well, no more of a comedian than Jones, who no doubt could be as amusing as watching ACA. I have long watched ACA and texted all my friends the hyperbolic headlines.

Or maybe it's that you have to be a card carrying member of the comedian's club to be allowed to use black humor.

Houellie,

It's all part of the circus of democracy.

It's a well known fact that lefties are far more likely to wield genuine wit.

Take the example of Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert who regularly sock it to Fox News. We all know humour is a much sharper sword in the battle of opinion.

In fact, I'm finding it difficult to come up with a witty right-winger - perhaps you can turn your legendary talents to giving them a leg-up in that department : )

PJ O'Rourke is pretty funny.

<Tin foil hat on> Isn't Alan Jones supporting the farmers against the Coal Seam Gas people. Maybe Alan Jones was targeted due to this stance and the moral outrage is just a front. After all the journalist who exposed him was from News limited. <Tin foil hat off>

Jeremy Clarkson.

Cheers,

'It's a well known fact that lefties are far more likely to wield genuine wit.'

Yeah why is that? Is it because the right has won and all the lefties have left is to laugh.

'In fact, I'm finding it difficult to come up with a witty right-winger'

It's not easy. I remember Rick from the Young ones sending up the left pretty well. The people's poet!

Hippies are pretty easy targets too, I loved how Neil was so dismissed, ignored and quietly despised. Kinda like Christine Milne.

South Park can be pretty funny and a lot of their targets are left wing.

I find humor in both the left and the right. I can laugh at bogans, battlers and yuppies and the comfortable middle class equally too. I love class warfare. I don't understand what's so wrong with the politics of envy it's so much fun.

I often ponder what percentage of ACA viewers are watching it for amusement like me. It's the funniest show on TV.

I think lefties are easier to bait than conservatives for some reason. I suppose because they are appealing to fairness and the best in people and it's a double blow for that to be rejected and mocked as well. They take it to heart, where if you knock the powerful they can just laugh back and say well look at all my money!
