"Beattie adds 'stupid' to Greer backlash"

er, when did over-exaggeration of public grief take over tolerance of a sober, and reasonably formed personal opinion? Oh, I get it, state election time, and you're picking on a child-less hairy raging feminazi. Who's 'stupid' and hiding behind "politically correct clap trap" exactly?
Clive Hamilton's piece in SMH hits the spot. Death becomes an excuse to savage "elites" - now that's nasty the pollies are milking this whole Steve Irwin thing big time, don't for one minute think that they are truly "sad" for it all, except for that fact that Steve Irwin won't be buying land off them and doing the state's job of conservation instead. or to call John Howard the greatest leader alive. *chunder in the land down under*
Personally, to me its a bit like picketting at Joh Bjelke-Peterson's funeral, like, you're making a valid point but at a cheap-shot kind of timing makes it just look a little bit not that cool, but its not like Germain Greer is the one to bite her toungue on anything. What I love about Germain Greer is her guts to say what she thinks, when ever she thinks, she shocks and she challenges, she picks up a deluded population masked by spin and systematic brainwash, and shake them about and bring them to the realisty of some pretty "inconvenient truths" to coin that other bloke, and thats what takes the message home, and I fearlessly defend her just for that.
Score Board- Greer:1, Beattie:1, Freespeech: Nil.
