Typical of the left

Richard Glover has provided one of the most ridiculous and, at the same time, least remarkable articles ever written by an ABC journalist/ broadcaster.

Ostensibly, Bone-headed beliefs bound to end in death by drowning  is a simple discussion and criticism of those who oppose the idea that global climate change is man made. But, true to the insidious nature of all ABC political commentary, this article does far more.

 

While the left leap at the opportunity to criticize right wing commentators for their inflammatory rhetoric, they are never really called up for their own disgusting misuse of the English language.

This article not only compares, so called, ‘Climate change deniers’ to the Nazi’s during world war two, but appears to threaten them. It essentially calls, “for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies”.
Just last week, Alan Jones, perhaps the right wing equivalent to Mr Glover, jokingly mused that Julia Gillard be placed in a bag and thrown into the ocean. The left went nuts, claiming that Jones was inciting violence. But they obviously do not remember those words written by Mr Glover.
Neither of these comments are dangerous, they are jokes, analogies and comments. What is remarkable is the way in which the language of politics in this country is treated by the right and the left.
This article works! This article, no doubt helped instill within those on the left the idea that ‘climate change deniers’ are evil. Glover achieves this through his dramatic language. What this article lacks, is balance, facts and commonsense.

The question that must be asked...what sort of online authority does this article represent? 

In my opinion, very little.
