If it pleases the court, I think what he wrote is more of an attempted derailing.

Stop a minute and really think about what this creature is saying.In damming the “market” she’s really damming people like you,me and probably even her in most areas of her life, who want to freely interact and trade value for value amoungst ourselves without force being used.Think about what kind of mentality could be opposed to that and begin to understand that when Libs et el call the socialists evil and anti human we are not just spouting off….they mean it.

In the fourth estate, in the blogosphere ?

A = None.

“I ask: What is the role of government? Surely a principled and professional fourth estate; newspapers, radio, TV and now online media is critical to the functioning of our society and our democratic system? We, as policy-makers and legislators, can’t just leave it to that thing called the market.” – Clare Curran

They’re just dumb today. See the “500 comments” thread when they’re going on about the dearth of evidence regarding the left’s wish to shut down right wing comment when the evidence is right here on this thread before their damn blind eyes in the words of Clare Curran on Red ALert. For just one example. – Redbaiter

“all over the blogosphere, the left are accelerating their efforts to shut down Kiwiblog”? – Redbaiter on 500 comments

Interpretation – Clare Curran wants to shut down Kiwiblog? Yeah, right. It be “guessed” with more justification that she wants to provide funding for Kiwiblog to maintain it’s current excellence.

And:

‘Journalists will be asking questions, lets hope old Whaley did not miss out any income he had coming in when he signed those forms, Work and Income get a little snotty about stuff like that.’

Shit RB thats awesome are you psychic or something?

Speaking of which as our Cammy is now a beneficiary is he fully declaring all earnings from his various blogs, including the one registered in Belize?

Dim Post #3 is very very funny.
Cactus Kate #6 also very good. I don’t know who would want to be Serepisos’ apprentice. Episode 1: [deleted by DPF as grossly defamatory]

Same old control freak bullshit. The joke is there are still people out there who think the left’s historical objectives might have changed. They have always been, control the information, control the language, hell, control every damn thing.

Don’t think the people who have always been so willing to shut down free speech will stand by and let the criticism they suffer from online commentors continue. A leopard cannot change its spots. Figuring out a way of stopping the free exchange of ideas in language they object to on the internet is their main priority right now.

Watch for it, for in line with what soviets and leftists have always done, it will come in language and a political package designed to make it appear to be the opposite of what it really is. (That’s one of Clare’s special skills)

Says it all really don’t it?
