Gillard Softly Admonished Sattler On Gay Jibe

[silverfaun]

How nice was she when asked the most offensive question by the Fairfax hack Sattler.

She should have slapped him & walked out but no, she gently chided him.

No shock jock or outrage was seen, no follow up on every news outlet lambasting this cretin, nothing.

So  mock outrage for one side & barely a lifted eyebrow for the left hacks.

:^O:^O:^O

Funny of the day!

Imagine the outrage this OP would be spreading if she had slapped him 

:^O:^O:^O

The demands that she be arrested for assaulting a radio host. The demands that she resign in disgrace.  Oh, please, Pull the other one!   :^O:^O

OMG! If someone on CS refered to or even alluded to anyone as a nutjob, people would go off like a frog in a sock!

Crikey Mate! I'm just gobsmacked!

ROFL - one poster springs to mind that turns EVERYTHING into a disability and sees everything as a slur against a disability, but they haven't said anything cos it is the leader of the Party that they support who said it?

Our PM goes around using terms like nutjob - hehehehe

I'm sorry Martini - but it musty be killing some people not being able to say anything, if it had have been a NLP who said it they would have been baying for his blood and pointing out how this person showed such little respect for people with a mental disability and tried to use it as an example for how the opposition was trying to usurp the NDIS or something PMSL

I am sure the OP is very upset at the lost opportunity which Julia Gillard has denied her. :^O

No,  again INAM: "Thatcher, who while never denying her womanhood appeared to stride past it"
A very tough lady who obviously considered that  being a PM  did not encompass wasting time on political sexism.

I remember the Thatcher years well.

She continuous made comments during her 'reign' along the lines of her being a BETTER leader because she was a woman. Didn't she make the comment about "any woman that can run a house, would understand how to run a country." She was continuously suggesting that she was superior to men.

That's not striding past her womanhood. That's using it to her advantage to belitte the men around her.

And how exactly does our PM "waste time" on political sexism?

[*crikey*mate*]

Listen to the interview, look at the stuff posted by the nut jobs and find out.

Do you think it's acceptable that the PM is depicted with a big black strap on in comic strips?

It takes a special type of nut job to produce some of the vile abuse that she's hit with every day.

Freaky - just cos someone does something doesn't mean it's acceptable for someone else to do something

"he did it too muuuuummmmm"

She is our PM, she needs to adopt the decorum suited to the position that she holds!
 She is the figurehead of our country! She is our spokeswoman. I'm really sorry, but running around calling people nutjobs (people whom are members of the country which she LEADS) cannot be justified by the actions of others regardless of how derogatory they are.

Someone with class would rise above it, not sink into it.

So crikey unless your definition of 'nutjob' is different to mine, I don't understand what you are getting worked up about.

I use the term all the time to describe idiots that get worked up over nothing or the crazies that love their conspiracy theories.

Should she have said "crazy people"? Would that have been more acceptable?

I'm not worked up about anything - I think it's kinda funny

a few posts back I was commending her on how well she handled a situation and then a few posts later I fond out she's calling people a nut job LOLOL

Can you imagine Quentin Bryce using the term nutjob?

Surely someone with a little class especially holding the position of PM could/should have come up with something like "There are many different people with differing motives in this world" or sumfin like that LOL

PMSL - this has gotta be killing some people not being able to comment about it - that's what i find funny.

[i-need-a-martini]

And here is the transcript for you Crikey. She even gives you a definition at the end. 

S:‘Tim's gay’.

G: Well...

S: I'm saying... That's a myth.

G: That's absurd.

S: You hear it! 'He must be gay; he's a hairdresser.' ...but you've heard it! It's not me saying it, it's what people say!

G: Well, I mean, Howard - I don't know whether every silly thing that gets said is going to be repeated to me now--

S: No no no--

G: You know, to all the hairdressers out there, including to all the men who are listening: I don't think, in life, one can actually look at a whole profession full of different human beings and say, 'Gee, we know something about every one of those human beings.’ I mean, it's absurd, isn't it?

S: You can confirm that he's not?

G: Howard, don't be ridiculous. Of course not.

S: No, but, are you in a heterosexual relationship - that's all I'm asking!

G: Look, Howard, you and I have just talked about that. So now, that is bordering--

S: No, no, I want to get rid of it--

G: Let me just - let me just bring you back to earth.

S: I'm not saying it!

G: Right, well, let me just bring you back to earth. You and I have just talked about me and Tim living at the Lodge. We live there together as a couple. You know that. Yes, on the internet, you know, there are lots of, you know - what I've referred to in the past as nutjobs, and I'm happy to use the expression again; people who peddle and circulate vile and offensive things.

[*crikey*mate*]

loving it!

so what does nutjob mean to you Martini?

hang on, I better check my dictionary, maybe the PM has changed the definition of another word without me knowing ROFL

but settle Martini - my amusement is solely coming from the fact that her saying that has got to be really killing some people because they can't comment on it LOL

[i-need-a-martini]

Didn't I give my definition already in post 45?

But here is the Oxfords dictionary in case you want something a bit more academic: (noun informal) a mad or crazy person.

I don't understand who you mean when you say there are others that can't comment? ?:|
