And to think I defended Conroy

I MUST apologise to the hooting audience of the ABC’s Q&A for not taking it seriously.

Oh, the mob did try to warn me as I so stupidly sat there, two years ago, defending the Labor Government.

To my right on the panel was Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, struggling to defend his plan for an internet filter to weed out porn sites.

And here, ha ha, is what I said in his defence.

“If it does indeed … stop people from looking at legitimate political sites, I’m sure I would bet my bottom dollar that Steve won’t approve it.”

What a donkey.

And the crazy thing is that the audience had done its worst to alert me. Roll the tape:

Conroy: Just in case anyone’s worried I’m phoning (broadcasting officials) and saying, “Hey, put Andrew Bolt on the blacklist” …

Audience: Yeah! (Applause, cheers.)

Yes, the audience, typically stacked with Leftists, was hot for free speech about sex, but very cold on free speech for conservatives.

And now look. It’s getting what it cheered, and leading the charge to silence or intimidate conservatives is … my old friend Conroy.

Take last Thursday. Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, owned by the News Ltd group of Rupert Murdoch, published a front-page story saying Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd was being urged to depose Prime Minister Julia Gillard before Christmas.

With a totally incompetent backstabbing Fabian Socialist hack (Jooliar Gillard) lying to the electorate and bribing 3 fake “independents” to gain power, the country goes down faster than the Titanic. And what happened to the grand inquisitor in chief, the despicable kapo, Soviet style apparatchik Conroy?

Andrew Bolt:

I remember the cheer at 19:30 from members of the Q&A audience when Communications Minister Senator Steve Conroy, on explaining his internet filter and secret black list, said this:

STEPHEN CONROY: At the moment there is the classification board and people will sometimes say, “I agree with the decisions they’ve made,” or “I disagree with the decisions they’ve made.” But by and large there’s a public confidence that the board makes reasonable decisions. Not always ones that everyone agrees with. So I’m keen to make sure people have confidence that as we move to a new scenario that the classification board continues to have the paramount role, and I’m happy to make sure and discuss ideas about making sure that an ACMA official, who I don’t know the name of, just in case anyone’s worried I’m phoning them and saying, “Hey, put Andrew Bolt on the blacklist.”

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah.

Conroy may be the ultimate village idiot, but he is dangerous.

Our G-d given rights to free speech should never be surrendered to useful tools like him.

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it.”

HATE SPEECH

By Neal Boortz @ June 3, 2010

There is a growing demand out there for the FCC to monitor “hate speech” on talk radio and cable news networks. Where is this demand coming from? Actually it seems to be stemming from Hispanic media coalitions and Latino organizations, and they are feeling particularly enraged in the wake of the passing of Arizona’s law. In a letter to the FCC, over 30 organizations claim that syndicated radio and cable television programs make it hard for the public to separate facts from “bigotry masquerading as news.” They also claim that talk radio and these news programs use hate as a profit model. Here’s a little excerpt from the letter to the FCC from the National Hispanic Media Coalition:

“Groups” want FCC to police hate speech on talk radio, cable news networks

NHMC’s Petition urges the Commission to examine the extent and effects of hate speech in media, including the likely link between hate speech and hate crimes, and to explore non-regulatory ways to counteract its negative impacts. As NHMC has awaited Commission action, hate, extremism and misinformation have been on the rise, and even more so in the past week as the media has focused on Arizona’s passage of one of the harshest pieces of anti-Latino legislation in this country’s history, SB 1070 …

Then my favorite line is this … “Many communities and individuals do not have the information they want and need to intelligently engage in our democracy.” Is there such thing anymore, considering the information I just shared above about our Entertainment Tonight America?

Remember what I told you yesterday. Hate speech is any utterance in opposition to progressive or liberal ideology. In the case of the NHMC “hate speech” would be defined as any reminder that “undocumented workers” are, in fact, illegal aliens and have committed a crime coming into this country, and continue to commit crimes by staying and working here.
