Do you think that
10:50 - 11:00 Sasha Jesperson

will offer some comment on why Ruddock is still wearing that Amnesty Badge?

They've gone so far as to put out press releases detailing how they've asked him to take it off, you know...

And yet I've never seen it mentioned on the communist Amnesty-loving MSM. Not even the Stalinist thought-control station ABC.

If I was more paranoid, I'd worry about a conspiracy. As it is, I just chalk it up to the usual utter incompetence. I even noticed him wearing that badge last night, as he was proselytizing about how evil it is for Dr Haneef's defence to be defending him, and that the trial might have to be delayed for a year or two for any positive publicity to die down, so that the government demonization can work unopposed.

That zombie had the gall to claim that Haneef's defence are trying to skew public opinion. Yeah, utterly unlike the AFP, Minister for Immigration, Attorney General and Prime Minister. Utterly.


I really am choked with bile over this entire travesty.

Hmm... seems well organised. Let's hope the right people are listening and do something about it, even if only to garner some more votes.

Poor bugger. Makes you scared to do anything nowadays. Especially if you're one of those "Arab bastards".

It's what happens when your country gets into bed with the big bad bully.
