American hatefest

I have just read Bob Ellis's 'ode to osama' via Tim Blair's blog http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/1418100.html and after recovering from the 'Pythonesque' absurdity of it plus the turgid hatred unleashed against America, I clicked on to the comment section. (Consider the moniker this 'Richard Cranium' has chosen for him/her/itself, it speaks volumes about the person behind it...and don't give me the irony excuse, this persons comments show zero grasp of the concept):

Thank you Bob for another intelligent, insightful, thought-provoking and wise article, and good on the ABC for providing a neutral forum for opinions that should be seeing more daylight than the everyday hubub of the news cycle allows. Also good to see you diving in to occasionally reply to and challenge the odd comment to back up their statements.
Welcome to cuckooland people, all in all most of the comments make Bob's article look positively literary.
Since when does the ABC provide a neutral forum?
Fortunately the citizens who inhabit and massage each others egos in this fictional Orwellian 'paradise' (dare I mention the unspeakable?) have isolated themselves from the real world  by occupying an imagined world of: Global warming, human/animal matrimony, Marxist taxing (redistribution 101), baby/old people killing, and a frugivorous diet, et al.  That is: a ridiculously reductionist world marching resolutely back into the stone age. Of course the bored socialites who comprise a large portion of these moronic Morlocks would take their botox injections, mobile phones (for tweeting) Prado handbags and Jimmy Choo shoes along for the ride...just in case they meet the newest 'celebrity' along the way!
