Older people will remember that the Left media did exactly the same thing to US Vice President Dan Quayle. Since the left's peculiar views are impossible to defend using reasoned logic, it is imperative that the Left presents it's arguments as those of the young, beautiful, smart and successful. But Dan Quayle shattered that image because he was smart and had Robert Redford good looks. So they always presented him in the media as a fool, and they were very successful in presenting him as such.

Now, Pauline is no Nigel Farage or Dan Quayle. However much plain common sense her message makes, she is a very inarticulate person. She obviously suffers from on-screen anxiety, and she struggles to get a coherent message across on TV. Her efforts are often wincingly bad. The Left does not need to try too hard to present a false image that Pauline is stupid. But perceptions are everything in the media. Reasoned arguments and logic are boring, especially ones presented by an inarticulate person, and they don't sit well with 30 second sound bites.

The message that the left can easily present then, is that Pauline's lamentable TV presentations proves that she and her fellow racists are stupid. And if you are a "smart" young person and you care about your self image, you don't want to identify with an old, dumb, fish and chip shop woman do you? You don't even need to think about what she says. As with Dan Quayle, the Left then does it's best to always present Pauline as an idiot. Everything from unflattering momentary images of her, to always laughing at everything she says.

It is very effective. And the best part is that you do not need to address the inconvenient facts that are perfectly self obvious. The more Muslims you have in any western society, the more terrorism you are going to have. And the more Muslims, the more rapes, riots, child brides, honour killings, female genital mutilation, homophobia, violent crime, and social breakdown your society is going to have. All paid for by Centrelink.

Well said Lego.
Have you noticed that the Q & A audience now have their own "Laughter squad"? anyone not left is then met with howls of laughter, especially when they start making a good point.
The Q & A audience has a large proportion of left wingers, especially whiny school teachers and the organised laughter squad. Then they put themselves down as Liberal supporters.
Barnaby Joyce complained to a constituent on the Australian Story a few weeks ago of the audience.
The more I look at it the more I think that the ABC needs to have it's sails well and truly trimmed. Shorten virtually promised them an increase if he won. Give them a big clip and remind them there is always next years budget too!

The ABC is renown for being leftist biased and politically correct.

Given the ever-evolving advances in communications and the apparent breaching of its charter, the minister for communications could earn multi brownie points by calling for a review of the continuing need, if any, for an ABC.

We are not calling for muslims already here to be deported, we are calling
for a ban on bringing further muslims in.
At least for 5-10years or however long it takes for these territorial attacks
on our home soil.to stop.

Radicalised my foot, they are just carrying out crimes of extreme racial hatred,dressed up as religion to justify it.
This is not being caused by Western societies, this mind set isnt being actively
discouraged in their muslim homes and schools.
Most good well bought up kids who have been taught right from wrong simply dont go out and blow up and kill random people.
Its a failure of the parents when this happens in any family.

These Abc idiots, call the Pauline Hanson supporters and Raise up Australia groups,
stupid etc, but they have all been brainwashed by left wing hippy, love and peace
ideology preaching, University academics, and they are too stupid and like sheep
to realise it. The universities have a monetary self interest in preaching this crap
because they depend on foreign students to earn their big professor salaries.

I know the hippy,left-wing mind set well, i grew up with it,
and in my teens and twenties believed in it. But my observation of mankind and the realities of how things are in
real life caused me to realise, that it had nothing backing it up.

This wonderful idea of sitting around smoking the peace pipe and talking about love brother is their whole plan. Well other races couldnt give two hoots about your love and peace, insincerity talks, That doesnt feed their kids or keep them warm at night.
No, they want what you've got, wealth and resources, now,that will feed their families
and solve their problems.
Better still if they can eventually gain control of the whole country and its wealth and resources through immigration or usually by war, that suits them even better.
You can always back the horse called self interest as to why humans do things.

Theres no hippy tolerance love and peace involved in it. self interested survival is it.

As with any other reactionary group, Ms Hanson's views deserve a hearing. We tend to get too comfortable with prevailing opinion.

The reason the people are voting for Pauline, Trump and Brexit, Alan B, is all because of the attitudes expressed by people such as your good self.

By claiming that Pauline Hanson, a lowly fish shop owner, is unfit to represent an electorate, Alan B just insulted most of the population of Australia. Most Australians are working class and small business class, and how you think you are going to win them to your potty and disintegrating causes by sneering at them as "xenophobes" and "bigots", before you even make your case as to why Pauline is wrong, has got me beat. But keep it up, because that is the way to lose a debate.

Those "movers and shakers" you so much admire have gotten the entire western world into about $15 trillion dollars dept, and they have unleashed upon their innocent populations a jihad from imported terrorists who want to forcibly convert all western countries into dysfunctional Islamic ones.

No matter how much you strut and pose your moral superiority, the self evident reality is, that the more Muslims you bring into a western country, the more terrorism, child brides, violent criminal behaviour, honour killings, welfare dependency, no go areas enforced by Sharia police, restrictions on freedom of speech, and restrictions on civil liberties to prevent terrorism. And if you can not see that, well the rest of the "dumb" population most certainly can. And for you to even imply that they are stupid, makes them wonder about your sanity.

Those politicians in the USA, Britain, Germany, France, and every other western country who says that Islamic immigration into their countries must be banned, will be the ones who get the votes in the years to come. And every terrorist act in every western country will convince more and more voters that they are the only ones with the brains to understand what is going on. Your socialist humanitarian 1960's philosophy is as ridiculous as Creationism.

What Islam has done, is to prove that the" racists", "xenophobes" and "bigots" were right all along.
