TV3 tonight
October 29th, 2008 at 10:54 am by David FarrarThe Winston billboard is on TV3 tonight and if you want a laugh, you can see me looking terrified in a cherry picker as I actually got to do some of the stapling. I couldn’t resist giving Winston an eyebrow piercing while up there 
Half the time I was smiling at the thought of Winston driving past this. Half the time I was not enjoing strong gusts of winds and looking semi-petrified. Me and heights don’t go well together.
There were lots and lots of waves and toots of support as it was going up.

Congratulations to all involved on your efforts to thaw the chilling effect of the EFA on this election.
Peters has finally achieved the great heights to which he aspired. Not quite what he intedned I’m sure, but very apt.

They aren’t wind gusts, they are just the Venturi effect from all the Crematoriums in use in the 07. Poor Winstons support is crumbling, baking, turning to ash.

The billboard was thought up by right-wing blogger David Farrar and is not an official National Party ad.

It would be amusing to see the drones in the Electoral Commission try to rule on your effort David. They would struggle, I think, to carry off the assertion that those words either encouraged or discouraged anyone to vote for or against the short arsed greasy little prick.

I just merely pointed out that a so called “free-speech group” has finally shown us all what it was always really about. Just another front for the National Party.
If there is anyone out there who gave a donation not knowing that, I think they would be entitled to ask for their money back.

Fuck off Sonic you muppet.
i am not a national supporter and i donated to Freedom of speech thing, and am quite happy with the actions of the group and the use of my money.
Labourfirst and the watermelons brought in a law to curb free speech in an election year. Farrar is spending money donated to point out the hypocracy of actions of those people.
more i say.
Vote:October 29th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
“i am not a national supporter”
A big Act fan then?
So perhaps we are to assume that it is just a coincidence that when the National Party’s only hope of getting into government is that NZ first fails to get into parliament, an independent “free speech” group suddenly decides to spend the last of it’s funds running billboards against Peters?
If you believe that I have an American investment bank to sell you.
Vote:October 29th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
sonic
I understand the ‘free speech’ group were formed to campaign against the EFA.
Labour and Winston voted for the EFA. National has promised to repeal the EFA if elected.
How hard is this for you to understand?
Vote:October 29th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
‘only hope’
what rock are you living under, or should that be what floor are you working from.
whats actually more interesting is that whenever DPF or anyone else scores a decent point against the axis, Sonic and the rest of the paid labour bloggers are suddenly commenting like crazy.
you fucktards have been told time and again that DPF does not work for the party and he is entitled to spend his money however he sees fit.
however unlike the EPMU, farrar is not linked tightly with national funded by national, but is funded by donations from individuals, and has actually disclosed all of them.
now fuck off and ask your mates at the substandard for the same level of disclosure.
Vote:October 29th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
“he is entitled to spend his money”
Oh sorry my mistake, I thought he was spending money he had raised under a fake “free speech” banner. If it is his own cash, no problem.

gee sonic, how many people donated to labour under the fake impression they were not going to spend 570M over value for a train set?
what about the free speech banner is fake? or is this another of the talking points issued by the 9th floor?
as one of the people who donated to him, i am fine with how its being used. if you also donated and take issue with how the money is being spent DPF has offered an unconditional money back offer, so take it.
of course the reality is you have put no money in, so are complaining about someone elses use of their own and freely donated money (as opposed to stolen like your lots money last time and this time), when it is nothing to do with you at all.
your faux outrage on behalf of people who would not piss on you if you were on fire is admirable but not wanted, so fuck off.

Helen Clark on the John Key/elders issue. From Stuff.
Prime Minister Helen Clark said if the Herald had published the story then they obviously believed there were questions to answer.
Miss Clark said it was not a story that she was handling, but whether it was a bombshell depended on the answers to the questions raised by the story.
Asked if it was appropriate for Labour to be digging around in Mr Key’s past, Miss Clark said the lives of political leaders were open books.
