From Cronulla to Canberra

In Friday's Sydney Morning Herald letters:
Australia Day's reprehensible treatment of the Prime Minister by Aboriginal activists must be seen in the context of a disrespectful atmosphere created by white shock jocks and so-called political satirists since her accession to the leadership.

Sue Currie, Northcote
Yes. It was all Alan Jones' fault. Tony Abbott will be pleased to hear it's not his fault for a change.

Interestingly, it was one of these so-called white 'shock jocks', Ray Hadley who exposed that one of Prime Minister Gillard's media advisers had encouraged the riot.

What I think Sue Currie is suggesting is that if you continually denigrate and insult the prime minister of the day, people are going to lose respect for the office and start behaving poorly when protesting.

Not that I agree with that, in fact I don't. The behaviour of these protesters was more akin to a French Revolution mob than a group with a legitimate political protest.

How amusing you try to sell your alter ego as more conservative here to try to appear more balanced. How you must be giggling.

Everyone else is LOLing.

If that had happened during the 12 years Howard was daily denigrated and insulted by the media and the Left, you might have a point.

As it stands, however......

FAIL.
