Paul first lets highlight Hasbeens words to you, and well yes increasing insults based on race seen in these pages of late.
Too based on politics, do we need such?
I do not think you can win your point with truly feeble, and blind references to my single person.
My point, and without the need for spite used Hasbeens, are well known and proved.
Here is the tipping point for greens, you and your isolated party fail to understand black is the dark color white is the other.
Preaching anti racism, while ignoring this.
*At the heart of this thread is an act of racism*
Bought about in part by the fact such hate always finds some one/you to defend the act by?
At some point in the debate saying those offended by the act are? RACIST!
Mate can you see, like of your little party you twist the true words and actions of racist criminals who we talk about to defend them.
And too to charge us with racism for our harmless and true words?
Your contribution highlights why your party is shrinking.

Racial vilification is alive and well in our Australia community Racism is not new in Australia, it roots can be traced back to the day of Chinese on the gold fields, and probably back beyond that. The European in general has looked upon the Aboriginal as "inferior" to himself ever since he arrived in 1788. We have a number of classic race haters on this forum and they follow the general pattern of vilification. They are no different to Hitler, only that Hitler operated on a much grander scale.
The classic vilifier follows a predictable pattern, firstly identifying a target group. Then blame that group for the creation of problems in society. The hater will highlight pacific instances of unacceptable behavior by a few members of the group, and then extrapolate that individual behavior as a generalisation for the entire group. The hater will point out differences between them and us, these differences are usually religious and/or cultural and are deemed unacceptable, and because of these differences the group does not fit into our society and is inferior. The hater creates exaggerated myths about the targeted group, such as the group is plotting and scheming to undermine society, the hater will claim the group is receiving undeserved benefit from society. All along the hater is trying to present himself as reasonable and at the same time trying to convinces others, particularly the moderates and waverers, but generally like minded people, of the correctness of what is being said. Ultimately the hater demands action against the targeted group, claiming it as necessary in the extreme, and even blaming the group as being responsible for what should befall them, the classic 'they brought it upon themselves'. The hater attacks anyone who should defend or support the group, the misguided do gooders, the liberal politicians and those that cooperate with the group for advantage.
If it’s not Hitler and the Jews, then tell me how it’s different here, other than Hitler acted on a momentous scale and this is a little political forum.

I saw a different thread than the one Paul has seen, in fact if we open our minds this thread started as a way to combat racism in our country.
Nothing can change the words and actions of that group, including assault and the words of bigotry happened.
To in a link that SHOUTED a mothers pain ,and the true nature of her son at this point in his life at least, one of the offenders.
Paul is probably a nice bloke, the thought our political enemy's/opposites are lessor is stupidity.
But he here in plain view warns us not to fall for his side of politics.
They dream dreams of the impossible.
They find the need to defend any thought or action the mainstream opposes.
It is easy to do so, but imposable to ever transfer such a party and such thoughts in to an alternative government.

"If it’s not Hitler and the Jews, then tell me how it’s different here, other than Hitler acted on a momentous scale and this is a little political forum."

No, Paul, of late it's been some of the Greens, particularly in Marrickville, with their bans on Jewish businesses.

Hi Folks,

Goodness me, this is getting a bit heated.

It seems that we're forgetting that Australian
society today is a gathering of many cultures
and this is one of the most unique and rewarding
aspects of living in this country. The wide and
varied gathering of "identities" is in keeping
with the sense of potential and openess so many
people enjoyed on coming here. We're all lucky
to be citizens of a free and prosperous country.
Australia is a happier land than most others.
Lets concentrate on what unites us, not on our
divisions.
Please?

cont'd ...

There's enough hatred in the world.
We need to fight that, not each other.
