In another age Bob Marr would be locked up or laughed out of town, instead he is given pulpits to proclaim his lunacy. It speaks loudly about the brave new world we currently inhabit where bad is good, dark is the new light, spin defines the new truth and the moral highground is occupied by a mob of misguided misanthropes. It is hard to find another Australian commentator so consistently wrong in his proclamations or so blinded by the hate he bears those whom he views as being on the other 'side'.
Regarding the current crisis of the wreck of the Christmas Island boat people his rhetoric is so twisted it is almost beyond belief yet many still give ear to his lunacy. His leprous finger points and blames everyone except those who are obviously guilty. So far he has blamed a government 'conspiracy', the rescuers, the witnesses to the tragedy, the navy, now he blames the immigration department for not providing the necessary lifejackets...even writing about this verbal vomit makes me sick. if this moron is still given any credence after this display of madness, then our media culture does not have far to go before it reaches rock bottom.
"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” C. S. Lewis
