   “The NZ media….Goebbels would have loved ‘em.”

   Yes, he would have, and I also agree with your summary of the article as “crap”.

   They have no idea; they actually believe they’re being objective; objective to them means the difference between left and far left.

   I took a quick look at the Standard today regarding a poll conducted by Curia (left of centre) on behalf of Family First which clearly shows 52% favour a mum and a dad for parenting as opposed to 38% who disagreed:

   This is how the Standard spun it:

   “Another day, another bullshit Family First/Curia poll
   … which I have no doubt will be blithely reported by our mainstream media as though it’s meaningful.”

   http://thestandard.org.nz/another-day-another-bullshit-family-firstcuria-poll/

   “blithely reported by our mainstream media” implying that our mainstream media is somehow right wing.

   It’s unbelievable, our media is far left yet here they are implying it is somehow not.

   Try calling any Labour Party supporter in NZ a socialist—they go into paroxysms of rage.
   I really believe they think (if that’s not too strong a word) that their social vision and their worldview is something other than semi-diluted communism.

     I think we have two animals; one is the simple, dumb leftie that buys into the propaganda that the left is on their side; the other is the far-left progressive animal. This beast is different altogether; they are communists, and it’s these ones that are now in control of New Zealand; they are in the Greens, the Maori Party, the Labour Party and now have moved into National. When these politicians blatantly ignore the wishes of their constituents we can no longer consider them democratic, they must be considered communist.

         I think it’s worse than that.To the right eventually you will hit bedrock principal every time.
         To the left you never find bottom,the further you go the more nebulous they become.
         Case in point MSNBC where Stalin is considered a right wing extremist.

   The so-called “right wing” are not thinkers, simply thugs out for confrontation. They are generally as stupid as the liberals who are shocked and horrified by them. Not worth even the apology of a report.

     “Not worth even the apology of a report.”
     It’d be nice to see the evidence of that .

   Well, reading that “news” item, nobody would know what the hell they were on about, Cad. They may have been making some good points for all we know.
   And that’s the really evil thing about this kind of “reporting”–it witholds the facts and deprives people of the information necessary to make up their own minds.

     The “right wing” in CHCH is populated by skinheads and drop-outs who frequently reveal themselves as having an equally vibrant entitlement mentality as the Labour supporting liberals. It is a stratified and strange city.

       “The “right wing” in CHCH is populated by skinheads and drop-outs who frequently reveal themselves as having an equally vibrant entitlement mentality as the Labour supporting liberals. It is a stratified and strange city.”

       Such broad aspertions are just a load of ignorant meaningless jargon.

   It sure is. I spent a few months there, building the wooden plug for a boat mould and I couldn’t wait to get out.

     Kinda depends how you define “extremist”, doesn’t it?
     It’s hard to escape the impression that should Pol Pot be dug up, stuffed and wired for sound in today’s NZ, he’d be treated as a hero. Anybody slightly to the right of the far left is a “right-wing extremist” to a whole lot of Kiwis nowadays.

   I’ve checked them out and my conclusion is they are generally as dumb as a sack of hammers , BUT! , apart from the black shirt uniform shit and their misguided antisemitism they are generally patriotic New Zealanders who are proud of their heritage and their ancestors sacrifices.Skinhead racist labels will stick like shit to a blanket if they don’t get an education of who their enemy really is.For all the cool kids out there it starts with I and ends with M .

     It’s the antisemitism which gets up my nose, George. And you’re right–if they would just identify the real enemy and drop the Jewish obsession, they’d get a lot more support.

   Hi KG , i reckon most New Zealanders are right thinkers concerning Israel, but the other 49.99% who are scum progressive marxists who hate everyone , can indeed learn a new way of thinking, if groups are educated in logic and historical fact instead of ignorant ideology.I also hate the terms ,’ bigot’ and ‘hatefull’ when describing some one elses opposing views in a civilized citizens protest , aka Free Speech!.
