Everyone is a critic..

lakeland27 — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:34:03 GMT

has anyone read Cory Bernardi's book ? the reviews are out on Amazon and some are quite accurate, but not harsh enough in my opinion. http://www.amazon.com/THE-CONSERVATIVE-REVOLUTION-Cory-Bernardi/dp/1922168963/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?tag=vglnkc6298-20

I love the comments.

Apparently after the following cartoon was posted online, Bernadi's offices were both inundated by calls from women asking him to make decisions for them.

Haha funniest book reviews I've ever read!

some of the comments are quite insightful '' I think I read this book before, but I've got to admit, I liked it better in the original German.''

''I really enjoyed this book. Mr Bernardi truly is a righteous and moral individual. He has opened my eyes to new ways of hating people; ways I would never have dreamed of before. I really have to count myself as fortunate for not having a shred of human decency or respect for all people, otherwise I suspect I wouldn't have enjoyed this book quite as much.

I think this book should be mandatory reading for high school English classes.... right after their science lesson on Creationism.

Well done, Mr Bernardi; you've really shown your true colours here.''

"Do not bother with this book it is complete drivel however the negative comments everyone is posting makes for great reading. There is some fantastically witty reviews and the sarcasm is fairly dripping as it should be. So don't bother buying the book just get yourself a drink, put your feet up and keep reading through these reviews. I have been laughing my head off !!"

No, I have not read this book and do not intend to; just reading about it is sickening enough. The reviews make nice reading, but still they do not quite take the chilling implications off - how on earth did he get enough votes.

no. its simply that the liberal party put bernardi on top of the senate ticket in SA. meaning he's the favoured one.

his pre-selection is a matter for the liberals. they ought to disendorse him.

trouble is he's got the ear of the PM.

Carrie Bickmore, 33 who spent years raising her son as a single mother after losing her husband Greg Lange to cancer in 2010.
hit back on air: ‘I grew up in a non-traditional family and I’m currently raising a son in a non-traditional family, so he can get stuffed.

‘If you’re offended by Bernardi, don’t be, he’s not worth being offended by’, she said on The Project.

yes .It's other people who may need be to be careful when they do the same as this joker has done

Liberal MP Mr Warren Entsch and Senetor Sue Boyce have voiced their own opinions on his comments.

Senator Bernardi is reportedly seeking legal advice over Mr Entsch's comments.

he ought to do a little more talking Before elections, i wonder how many knew what they were getting in SA when they simply voted for a liberal . i think they expected 'a liberal' not a bloke transported from victorian times .

i'm not complaining about the publicity for his book of sorbent samples, i'm complaining about cory's no 1 spot on the SA senate ticket.

we need to know who is responsible for that.. so i can badmouth them
