Still the media are having a field day, beating up some mildly offensive remarks by a minor media “personality”. And Kiwis are ready and willing to allow themselves to be whipped into a frenzy, since the financial, political and social reasons for what’s causing their country to circle the drain are evidently too hard to grapple with. Much, much easier (and more emotionally satisfying) to join a mob and bay for the blood of a nonentity.
Now a prominent, pompous hypocritical maori politician has seen which way the mob are headed and joined the stampede.

It’s much, much too hard to take a stand, you see, against the prevailing PC orthodoxy which says it’s verboten to criticise the Brown Mafia.

‘The voter outrage at the heart of the Tea Party movement has been sparked by federal government spending that has risen to 25 percent of GDP. Their goal is to cut it back to 20 percent of GDP. Here in New Zealand , core government spending under National now stands at a record 36 percent of GDP – up from 29 percent in 2004 – and the restrictions on our freedom and liberty continue unabated. Whether New Zealanders are angry enough about the size and intrusiveness of government to spawn a grassroots revolt against the political establishment remains to be seen! ‘                         Muriel Newman

‘The mere act of criticizing Islam has become an act of politically incorrect hate speech, a media analyst and free-speech advocate says, citing several incidents in recent weeks where people have been lambasted publicly for their remarks.
“We’re living in a ‘here and now’ where no one’s allowed to say anything bad about Islam, it seems,” says Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center. ‘                source
