<<partisans such as yourself (paul1405) cherry-pick whom and what to quote. Really Beach, if you had cared to check you would see the majority of the links I provided on this forum are from publications such as The SMH, a newspaper I purchase daily. My last one about Pickering was from The Age, I sometimes provide links to the ABC and occasionally even to Murdoch's publications. From your extreme position I can see how you may well view those as commie pinko publications.
To use Pickering to add so called balance is ridiculous. Foxy in my view is one of the more moderate posters on this forum. And her post about Abbott and her use of David Marr as a source was balanced. Now when you Google "David Marr" I;m sure 'Pickering Post' didn't top the list, you could have used something a bit more reputable.

Paul1405,

You have gone off somewhere up a blind gully. All I can suggest is that you take the time read my post and comprehend what it is saying. Here it is to make it easy for you,

<Foxy,

Is this the David Marr you cherry-picked your quote from?

Obviously both you and Pickering are committed to your views, and you are both welcome to them, predictable as you both can be. The remainder of the population though prefers some independence and balance.

Being "good" at dirty PARTY infighting and bullying does NOT make one a good leader, for a party OR a nation, ESPECIALLY for a nation.
The Canetoad has been put to the test, and he's fallen at nearly every hurdle so far.
The ONLY reason he has power is because he used his lies and bullying to destabilise the serving government, with NO thought for the common weal, he was after POWER, and he got it. Now, when we desperately need a leader with vision and ethics we get more lies and bullying instead, and we are becoming the laughing stock of the world thereby.
Welcome to the Two-Party system, where the getting of power is the be-all and end-all, using that power is only seen as a means to self-enrichment and any thoughts of the National Good are treated with derision.

otb,

You have attacked me and others (women especially)
so many times on this
forum that I've lost count. Belly asked you to stop -
and ended up leaving because of you. Other posters
have told you to lay off - and you ignore them.
So for you to claim any sort of defense - is simply
not credible.

As for your using Mr Pickering - you
can't use a source and then try to deny the fact that
you did it only as a "comparison."
Especially when the differences between David Marr
and Larry Pickering are like chalk and cheese.

Larry Pickering's
reputation is beyond the pale - and comparing him with
David Marr is simply absurd. David Marr is the author
of "Patrick White: A Life," "Panic: The High Price of
Heaven," "Dark Victory," and the Walkley Award-winning
Quarterly Essay - "Power Trip: The Political Journey of
Kevin Rudd."

David Marr has written for the Sydney Morning Herald,
The Age, the Monthly, been editor of the National Times,
a reporter for Four Corners, and presenter of ABC TV's
Media Watch. His reputation unlike that of Mr Pickering,
is beyond reproach.

You can twist and turn things as much as you want - those
are typical "Beachisms," and we fully understand that
you never really want to offend anyone.
You just feel an obligation.

Foxy, using OTB logic I hate caulk, and I hate cheese, add the two together and you get chocolate cake, yummy! LOL

Dear Paul,

Posters can post whatever bigoted or extreme
views they like but they shouldn't complain
if other people then condemn their viewpoint
or refuse to associate with them.

Mr Pickering
is well known for his right-wing views. He
portrayed our former PM Julia Gillard as a
dildo-wielding rapist in a cartoon on his website.
The man was popular in the 1970s and has faded from
view in recent years - hitting the headlines -
courtesy of fraud.

But enough said. Let's not discuss otb - any further.
That's giving him too much credit. Best ignored - totally.
We haven't run out of well reasoned, intelligent
posters - yet.
