Old Dog Thoughts: Sonia Kruger

Sonia Kruger 'vilified' Muslims on Today show

If the Tribunal found Kruger guilty of vilification and and has a case to answer for enabling the hatred of Muslims by vilification why wasn't Andrew Bolt charged with the same offence? After all he enabled Kruger and does much the same on a regular basis. Did Andrew Bolt enable KAK Kerry Anne Kennerly in her vilification of Indigenous Australians? He's certainly a central figure in damning these Australian minority groups. He's certainly the foremost voice condemning, vilifying and mocking the South Sudanese community. (ODT)

Her comments followed a terrorist attack in Nice on Bastille Day and were a response to a column by conservative commentator Andrew Bolt, who wrote in the News Corp press that jihadist terrorists had made France "Europe's bloodiest battlefield" because "France let in the most Muslims".

"We are fools not to change our own immigration policies to protect ourselves," Bolt said.

Kruger said on air: "Personally I think Andrew Bolt has a point here that there is a correlation between the number of Muslims in a country and the number of terrorist attacks."

Grattan on Friday: What does "reopening" Christmas Island actually mean and why do it?

The Liberals think anything to do with “boats” is lethal for Labor; the ALP believe community attitudes have changed but is very apprehensive about how the debate would go if boats showed up.
No question, this is rocky for Bill Shorten. The government attack is ferocious, full of exaggeration and scaremongering.
Indeed. So which un-nuanced Morrison message will the smugglers hear? That the policy has been trashed – or that the borders are being fortified?
There is also the danger, which some critics have highlighted, that in its rhetoric about numerous alleged criminals on Nauru and Manus, the government could make the US more reluctant to take people (it has only accepted 456 so far – the deal was up to 1,250).

Asylum Seekers Forced To Share Accomodation With Dangerous People! - » The Australian Independent Media Network

For the past five and a half years, the Australian Government has been forcing asylum seekers to share accommodation with dangerous people. I know this because we’ve been told by our government. Some of these people who’ll be brought to Australia for treatment are rapists and murderers…
Actually, I think I may be quoting Donald Trump there. Actually, I think Matthias and Scottie and Christopher may be quoting the Trumpster… wonder when we’ll have a bill before Parliament asking for money so we can build a wall.

A night out drinking and dancing, then they offered her a lift home

Morrison, Corman, and Andrew Bolt simply can't understand why these guys weren't Africans and think they are escapees from Manus. Dutton ensures it's kept a sovereign borders secret (ODT)

One thing you can rely on is shootings, home invasions rape and mayhem go unmentioned by Andrew Bolt unless committed by Muslims, Africans, or the Lebanese but not when they are committed good old white Australian citizens. Even when real gang fights are being reported between the Finks and Mongols Bolt has only a singular focus, and it's racist, ethnicist, bigoted and extremely right-wing fearmongering for reasons little more than politics and zero interest for Australians.

The LNP has stood up for this sort of division applauded it repeated it and have promoted it for votes, and we will see more of it without shame in the next 3 months. These cheap tricks are political and have little interest in the Australian reality. Donald Trump asked Malcolm Turnbull how he could know who the 1200 people to be taken by America are? Are they of good character? Turnbull replied and assured Trump "We know exactly who they are". Today Morrisson and the LNP are saying we don't, and Andrew Bolt and the Murdochians are supporting a state of ignorance once again and expect us to believe their see-sawing is somehow now authentic. We may be Green Bolt, but we aren't cabbages.

Book reviewed

Bolt's indepenant reviewer is Nick Cater's wife and a regular writer in guess where The Australian The Spectator and Quadrant how independant is that!! Even her husband is a regular author in the Australian and who is CEO of the Menzie's Institute rest. Be assured the review will not be critical or unbiased. What a club of right wingers have been pulled together to sell this book of stale ideas.

Ted Cruz gives a great speech but for one fatal flaw

He didn't Plagiarize Michelle Obama nor did he deny that he didn't

Bolt's tip among all GOP candidates was Ted. " Yes, it was a great speech - had Cruz been the candidate." Gone but not forgotten a bit like Roger Ailes who gave Andrew Bolt the framework with which to plagiarize and bring to Australia. He's been doing it ever since. What will happen to Fox News now that Lachlan is back?

" Elizabeth the daughter is around too and is with the sons and she and her husband have a terrible history with Mr. Ailes as well and the 3 of them want huge change at fox.
Politico and other outlets are saying the 3 younger Murdochs want a hybrid a US version of Sky News where it does journalism similar to Sky with more progressive slant on the issues.
They all report Hannity, BILLO, Greta, Bolling and others may be on their way out."

Will this impact on Australia and Bolt?

Which “cultural rules”?

The Roma are forgotten by Bolt. They too have honor laws they need to abide by.

The Mafia in Sicily and the Code of honor is real and is a terrorist organization. How selective is Bolt when he focuses on events that aren't even as clearly defined when it comes to Muslims. 1000 murders and now a new generation isn't free of their presence in Palermo. They must be Muslim hey Bolt. The biggest recruiting tool for these gangsters is not religion but poverty. Just as poverty and it's politics is the greatest driving force of terror in France because it's not the province of refugees.

I'm simply showing Bolt's stupidity by showing a correlation as Sonia calls it can be made between Christianity and this criminal organization. However a correlations are seemingly easy to make but causal connections aren't and that's what Bolt insists is his unverified truth.

Car driven into police station

Bolt with this blog proves he's. Gone is his belief we are a secular society all to be treated equally until the facts become evident. If Bolt is an example then we are far from being just. Bolt is closer to being a grand master of the KKK

Watch Bolt throw some statistics together in an attempt to influence public thought that a correlation exists between an incident in Merrylands. He throw some stats together that have no reflection on religion because there is no evidence whether the census reflects people who practice it. Whatever the reality there is no causal connection displayed. Even if there was no generalization is possible from a single case. It's simply Bolt squirming to find grounds for vilification. Barneby Joyce hit the nail on the head when he said there are cranks among all of us and in the media Andrew Bolt is a standout crank. That is not just a correlation either as I'm not tarring the media with a Bolt brush.

Bolt's shows just how he can tar a secular nation with an Islamist brush but only when it's convenient for him to do. He wouldn't say too much about Imran Khan having been married to a Jew that would be too progressive for his Islamophobic narrative. He doesn't go out of his way to tell us how progressive London is either. Where a Pakistani boy grew up to become the Mayor of the city. No these are Bolt's secrets he finds those incidents that give reason to hate. How selective is he?

Bolt fails to mention which Hadith it is that dictates that tribal culture is the culture of Islam world wide. "It’s usually a punishment for breaching the strict cultural rules governing women’s behaviour.” When the ABC get it right Bolt says they got it wrong. Honour killing has been known and occurs in Catholic Countries too however it's generally termed village culture and not Catholic. Bolt apparently practices his own rules when it comes to facts nothing need get in the way of a good debate. James Matheson whereare you you got under his guard because everyone assumed you were a light weight but the opposite was true. You made Bolt look a half wit.

They’ll keep asking until you finally say yes

Why is Bolt so eager to spend $160 mill of our money?

Your taxes used to destroy the enemy of the political elite

So politician private lives are out of bounds your not entitled to know who as taxpayers your about to give $2.5 million dollars to. $2.65 for every vote Pauline got. Unless of course Andrew Bolt get's the inside lane first then everything's a scoop. As for Sonia some people loved Hitler too. However they thought it wiser to remain silent after the war. The Dutch certainly did and remained very silent on their pro Hitler past of having killed more Dutch Jews % wise that Germany killed German Jews. The people of Aalesmeer in Holland where Andrew Bolt's family is from know what that's like. Bolt will tell you how nice they were too. Silence is a PR ploy with fingers crossed that it will all go away. It's not what NewsCorp would prefer to do with or to Sonia milk the cow for all she's worth.

I'm amused how Andrew Bolt is so self- righteous about where our taxes are spent. NewsCorp print media runs at a loss. A loss which is a tax deductible one. Bolt's wages are a a part of that deductible loss and off set against areas News Corp profits from or taxes we would otherwise should be getting if they didn't happily keep hemorrhaging money. Doesn't that make Andrew Bolt tax payer subsidized too? News Corp was handed $800,000 dollars or the ABC budget last year. Should we run a poll on where our money should go in supporting lies or information and truth? In the USA Fox News and MSM do the same present factless data and are an direct donation to their favored political elite as are Conservatives here.

The new teachers: making boys wear girls’ clothes

Sounds like Cory Bernardi and the slippery slope that the primary activity of schools is to train kids to have sex with animals. What is the "right" way in which the world needs to be described allowing some to be bullied laughed at and told they are simply wrong. After all you claim to be a humanist Bolt that alone makes no sense in your espousal of a hierarchy of absolute or even populist values. You call them Christian I don't think they are unless you also believe Christ was god after all you say you don't know on that score. However even so the bible was only written by men who are definitely fallible. Your Hypocrisy stands tall. Even Muslims regard Abraham as the second prophet of Islam and Christ as one also.

Good question, Juanita. But ask the right people

Neither the question makes any sense when individuals and incidents are used to vilify ,label and stereotype all members of a faith. Particularly when members include some 40 different cultures, who are as different as the fingers on your hand. Bolt struggles to find sufficient ignorant people to join his cause to really even justifying it be called a group. He appeals to the uneducated when 99% of Australians aren't

Savva would not obsess like this about Abbott if he were finished

Remember when Bolt said he didn't care about the election because he "didn't have a dog in the race" He has and it needs all the help it can get. Even Baird is trying to keep it alive.

Raising Lazarus might not be that easy given a civil war seems to be raging in NewsCorp between Bolt and some very senior writers for the Australian wh would like to see him muzzeled for his uninformed commentry. The quality of debate is sinking if Bolt's banner is any indication the great debater he claims to be is little more than the great name caller a sign of illiteracy. The insistence on having Abbott leave our parliament is quite simple Andrew Bolt he's a waste of space, doing nothing for the country. It's"reasonable to prefer a proven quality, isn’t it?" asks Bolt. Bolt's dog however ran last 9 months back at the trials and even then Bolt said he'd lost interest because he no longer felt he had" a dog in the race". However he admits now he was lying and given it's only tax payers money paying for Abbott Andrew Bolt wants to keep him running him even if he is a waste space. "And given the Liberals may face an election within two years, and are led by a man who will struggle to win, a new leader may be required soon." Bolt. After all he is a dog with three good legs has the ticker and is ready in waiting. So Bolt with simple spin delivers the punter's threat"The reason is this: they actually know Abbott is not finished at all and remains Turnbull’s greatest threat."Bolt. Well Bolt's three legged dog is there to keep the favorite on his toes. Bolt thinks the last race didn't count and even pulls out the SP's odds taken yesterday to prove it. However as usual Bolt fails to mention who is still the favorite.

Column - Why is the government paying the persecutors of Sonia Kruger?

" Cowardice. Kruger’s “friends” should be ashamed of themselves for not having the guts and integrity of Sylvia Jeffreys."

Bolt is calling out Sonia's so called friend not because they are or aren't her friends but because they are silent on her attitudes and won't speak up for Bolt's anti- Islamic bigotry . He has little support off a very low base. if anybody with half a brain picked up Bolt's column today they'd wonder how his editors allow him to lie so blatantly. The concentration of Muslims in France is 7.5% however Bolt simply adds an extra 21% . Bulgaria has 13.7% and has less terrorism. Germany has more Muslims than France and less yet Sonia Kruger takes Bolt's statistics and quotes them as if they are true. You pay a $1.50 for Herald Sun News and commentary and what do you get for your money a full page of lies. Peter Foster went to jail for that. How is it Bolt gets away with this crap he calls honest debate.

All Australians are equal and to be treated as such unless they are found guilty of breaking a law. That's Bolt's premise. However not in this case " Why are our taxes being used to sponsor these apologists for radical Islam?" Bolt. I ask the same question why are they being used to sponsor Bolt in my reply to his blog above. What law has been broken here Bolt's law. Remember when it was his personal sad day he was convicted of vilification however he called it the freedom of speech! Now he's demanding the same to be done to others. Like Abbott said when 10 LNP parliamentarians in NSW were stood down for accepting illegal donations from developers "There is nothing wrong with taking the donations there is only something wrong with the law." But in this case Bolt would like to see the law applied.

Our laws represent what we expect of ourselves. To be a secular country where everyone has the right to be protected from vilification. In the case of Sonia which came first the chicken or the egg. Bolt ignores the fact that in the case of the HRC Sonia Kruger initiated the public comment. But then Bolt was drinking Duff beer and celebrating for being quoted..
