If Labor does not ‘me-too’ any Howard dog-whistling on this it will be disastrous at the ballot box.

I don’t think so Mr Greenfield, not this time. Your bad.

Rudd might have a bit of a credibility issue there after his recent invitation to Hilayly to go back where he came from. If Labor does not ‘me-too’ any Howard dog-whistling on this it will be disastrous at the ballot box.

Secondly, you would do well to know that Kevin Rudd is the first candidate for Prime Minister in Australian history to place Christian theology right at the centre of his campaign.

He’s in fine company as far as I can tell. But I doubt that claim is correct anyway.

While you are of course technically correct, wrt the particular infectious disease at issue here, Keating is our innovator. Oh, and I do not read Windschuttle; I get enough of him on LP!

Kim,
things are already “really desperate” for the govt. Heard Malcolm Fraser on the radio today. Mal reckons that the The Big Fright before the next election will come at the expense of the Muslim commununity, in much the same way that Roman Catholics were “it”in Oz in the first half of the 20th cent. eg. “They’re not real Aussies because they owe their primary allegience to The Pope”, or in this case some terrorist-loving Ayatollah or Iman.

Mal knows what The Rodent is capable of. He made him Federal Treasurer once. So maybe Australian Muslims will be The Rodent’s Satan du jour this campaign.

After Tampa and SIEV-X, The Rodent’s form suggests Mal could be right .

Also, you would do well to know that Australia’s immigration attitude towards people with highly infectious diseases was laid down in Keating’s day.

It’s rather older than that, John. Read Alison Bashford’s Medicine at the Border, or if that’s a bit too ethnocultural-history for your taste, Keith Windschuttle’s White Australia Policy.

We fluoridated the water supply. The dumb suckers never caught on.

Now look at them. Bwahahahahahaha!

Hell, I’ll settle for a local ‘ firedoglake’.

I won *that* little battle when waltzes got popular. 3/4 time and close-position dancing

What revisionist little demon you are. You know very well that by the late 19th century the powers of the waltz were on the wane. It wasn’t till we invented the back beat in the mid 20th century that we won the war. You should know. We were both on the steering committee.

Are you asking me a question or just wondering out loud what “you suppose?” I’m sorry, I do not understand why you used my name.

Oh dear. You have to pummel the stuffing out of a straw Howard, when you had the real deals right before your eyes. Also, you would do well to know that Australia’s immigration attitude towards people with highly infectious diseases was laid down in Keating’s day. Secondly, you would do well to know that Kevin Rudd is the first candidate for Prime Minister in Australian history to place Christian theology right at the centre of his campaign.

Before you next think of wasting my time, do some bloody reseacrh and stop boring us with adolescent reflexive Howard-obsession. There is political agency outside Howard you know.

I think Howard junior, the one studying to be his own Karl Rove, got the idea from a republican spokesperson quoted in the local Press a while ago, that the next big thing would be ‘immigration and the threats immigrants pose to our way of life’ Lol!

Utah County Republicans ended their convention on Saturday by debating Satan’s influence on illegal immigrants.

And yet he still hasn’t tumbled onto what’s going on with Satan’s feline fausts. Deluded fool.
