Dear Shadow Minister,

I am beginning to think that you are pulling
our legs in this discussion.

From someone
who's always been so articulate in the past
your current diatribe must surely be a joke.

I'm sure that you are fully aware of the fact
that using insults ruins one's ability to
present a good argument worthy of consideration.
Of course, when someone insults the focus shifts
to the insult, not the issue, in a discussion.
Perhaps that's your intent in this discussion.
To shift the focus.

Well Congratulations - you seem to have succeeded.
But it does lower your own stature quite a bit
as a good debater, I'm sorry to say.

My suggestion to you in future is to improve your
language - because this time it's completely and
utterly lacking of any value.

BTW: Most people who do admire Miriam Margolyes,
don't admire her because she's a "celebrity"
(whatever that means to you), but because she's
a great character actress of stage and screen.
As all of her awards indicate. She has had a long
and distinguished career - and I find it quite
remarkable that someone like yourself, who has in the past been
able to argue rationally and intelligently now finds
it necessary to stoop to arguing on such an emotional,
and abusive level.

I guess in this case your anonymity does help.
However you should change your moniker from "Shadow
Minister," to something more appropriate if this
trend of yours is going to continue.

Dear Shadow Minister,

How on earth does a person, who is so obviously bereft of any ability to discuss and properly address the points Miriam was making that you chose instead to attack her physical stature, ever come to the conclusion that you could call anyone else vacuous?

I suppose it means we can add to the list, you sir are also bereft of shame!

My God what a hide.

And to add insult to injury you try on this rubbish;

“When I called her a poison dwarf, not only did the meaning and implication of the term whiz over your heads”.

Having a German father-in-law I am quite aware of what a Giftzwerg is and during his war years in Berlin it was attached to Goebbels , again because of his stature. There is obviously a case for deeming that individual as poisonous but you offered nothing about Miriam did you. You just wanted to sink the boots in and poison dwarf was just an added touch which undoubtedly prompted a little self-congratulatory slap on your back. It was puerile and designed to have others dismiss what Miriam was saying, particularly her 'tit' comment which would have got right up your nose.

You also state unequivocally that “The left whingers here have thrown insults around like confetti against all aspects of physical and other characteristics and not once have I heard a peep from you.”

Well mate if they are like confetti how about producing a couple, particularly those that have come from any of those you deem left-wing on this thread. Should be pretty easy since they are 'strewn' around everywhere.

Hi SteeleRedux,

I have already exposed Shadow as not having actually watched the pertinent episode of Q&A on the ABC Monday last. I offer as evidence to this fact, that Uncle Rupts Channel Nickelodeon (aka Liberal Party policy channel) was showing re-runs of 'Poky Pig Cartoons' at the very time Q&A was being broadcast by that horrid ABC. It is a well known fact that our Shadow, and any other serious Liberal will always choose Porky over Tony Jones, any day, its a commandment from him on high to do so, not God, Uncle Rupes that is, amounts to the same thing for a serious Liberal like Shadow, how else do you expect these lads to keep up with the latest Tony Baloney Liberal Party policy if they do not watch their fair quota of 'Loony Tunes Cartoons' The Mad Monk insists!

There you go Shadow, I helped you out.

SR,

For someone that supposedly knows what a poison dwarf is, (A Giftzwerg is an individual who rubs people the wrong way - one who is loud, rude and constantly angry. In a word: obnoxious.) you addressed the stature which is largely incidental and spectacularly failed to address the "poison" which is the primary thrust of the meaning. Hence your appearance of being vacuous.

As for shame, I was called shameless for criticizing the status of the PM when Juliar was befouling the position, yet all the same left whingers that were tut tutting me are now doing exactly the same. I call a spade a spade.

MM is a gay lesbian leftist PLO supporter actor. All that is missing from her left whinge credentials is being black and Muslim. And while for greenies and far left whingers that makes her close to messiah status and beyond criticism, for conservatives she is just another mindless windbag of shallow PC concepts.

"....I call a spade a spade."

No you don't...what you do is reach into your easily accessible primary school banter - and instantly we're transported to a playground circa 1970-something.

That's how come we get rubbish like this served up ad nauseam by you:

"You have Back handed Brandt,
Rip off Rhiannon,
Mendacious Milne,
Shifty Sarah HY,
Lying Ludlam,
Slippery Whish Wilson"

Absolute puerile witless garbage...something you seem to think is "clever".

Dear Shadow Minister,

Couldn't do it?

Okay forget a couple, let's make it just one instance of those you deem left wing on this thread having picked on a physical characteristic or someone's sexuality to denigrate an individual on the 'other side of politics'.

Remember now apparently they are strewn around like "confetti" so they should be easy to find.
