Talkback radio is the cheapest and least demanding form of broadcasting, both technically and morally.It's values are those of the lowest common denominator.The prejudice and bigotry encouraged by the cynical exploitation of the audience, has convinced the broadcasters that they, and only they, hold opinions that truly reflect the values of the community even if those views are of doubtful morality,and unsupported by anything other than prejudice and bigotry.
Terrified of being wrong-footed by these self appointed arbiters of political correctness, politicians,will say and do anything to pander to them,even if it means changing the law. That it's practitioners consider themselves above the law should not surprise anyone. That such should continue to be the case is a blot on our society. Irfan, I agree with you whole heartedly.

Ohhhhhhhh Meg - such wounding comments. Please no more, I'll be reduced to a paranoid wreck like the rest of the neo right christian clowns on this forum.

Your discourse has the rational of a drunken spider trying to weave a web. However, lets just deal with a sample of your assertions, so that we can get a flavour of the overall meandering dialogue.

Lets start with this scandalous and libelious book that has caused heartache for Allan. Now that it is in the public domain, I've been waiting for Allan to start the libel action; instead the only sound is the sound of the wind blowing through the tree's of the political landscape...! So, what we have is a book of legal facts that Allan by his silence is confirming as true. Reality Meg, is a harsh judge!

Now, in relation to my comment 'nasty sharks in Allans pond'; I was going to add the adjective 'murky pond' to clarify that the pond is the political world of the NSW neo right. My apologies; but I am concerned at your comment that the creatures from this pond act in malice - really Meg? I thought the order of the day would be brotherly and sisterly love in these murky waters? Or is it that Allans membership is under review because he's broken the golden rule and been caught. The whole situation is very, very sad and getting better each day!

The harsh facts are Meg, that Allan is political dead meat swinging in the wind and even the disreputable characters that reside in his murky world are complaining about the stink.

By the way Meg, please keep the posts coming on this subject and whilst its too late for Allan, it might bring some fresh air into the smelly environs that you and your disciples inhabit.

Your dismissal of Babushka's comments on the subject reflect your masters contempt for the judiciary - not smart Meg. I think Babushka's comments were made quitely but carry considerable force of the battler who has had enough of squalid little people like Allan.

ocm, you mean something like OLO? It's all same same. Media is media. You must represent the cretins you rant against. Ever heard of freedom of speech or does your diatribe come under a different set of rights and freedoms?

netab, silence is guilt? You must be one of these existential relative deconstructionist. Your virtue of no facts arguing in your opinion of megs sinful ommision of facts.

I'm always amazed at some of the totally inbedded leftoids (I just love that word, it's still new for me) who haunt OLO in order to dictate what everyone ought to believe while not paying attention to the total event but, rather choosing little snippets bent out of proportion to "criminalize" someone like Jones while allowing by their "silence" the acts and words of folks like brother Hilali.

As far as I can see Jones took it standing up and accepted the decision by the courts. He's not my cup of tea but, in this regard he's heads above Hilali. The left media made damn sure he got to court. Now if they would get off their knees in front of Hilali maybe we could have some sense of the use of law across the board.

Is this really true Irfan?You have permission by Graham Young to moderate all comments on your blogs?Could this be Irfan Usef style censorship since he cannot stand the heat of debate that lays bare his foibles time and time again?Did not the Third Richt also have such cencorship?

You cannot just have a clack of left wing noddies dancing with approval at your every whim and fancy,otherwise Irfan,your articles will become totally boring!

I wonder if this "armchair Nazi" has hit too many raw nerves?

I wonder whether our self-described "armchair Nazi" had a beer or two too many after work tonight. If he revisits Irfan's last comment in the cold light of sobriety, perhaps he'll notice that Irfan was talking about his own blog, rather than OLO.

How unsurprising that Arjay is a fan of Gloria's. They seem to be people who are only too willing to suspend their human faculties in order to support the rabble-rousing Parrot. Such a predisposition is normally a condition of intoxication, stupidity, bigotry, or various forms of mental illness.

Jones has well and truly outlived his use by date. The poor old sod should retire before he's incarcerated.
