Some of those bogan comments are hilarious. I see no issue with this at all. There are English billboards all over non English speaking countries but nobody has a cry about that.

Agreed, the issue is that they take action over it. If they ignored the bogans then they'd get a lot of cred. I understand the threat part so I hope they go back up in time.

I think this forum is above promoting Bolt's racist agenda

its a Bolt Free zone

I read bolts blog . He is a very bitter man . Him and neil mitchell attacked waleed's response. It seems to me that kny middle aged white men can have a opinion on isil .

Yup, all of my right winger mates are posting it rofl.

Bolt just isnt qualified to go up against Waleed Aly on this subject.

Chris Kenny, Devine and all the other right wing halfwits are all having a crack. Predictable but yet still amusing :lol:

Just in case anyone missed Bolts reply to Waleed Aly here it is

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/on_waleed_alys_explanation_of_the_paris_massacre_and_picking_on_pauline_han/

I was wondering how Waleed Aly would spin the Paris massacre.

Tonight on The Project, Aly:
- suggested it wasn’t actually the work of the Islamic State, even though the Islamic State has taken responsibility and France has retaliated by attacking Islamic State targets in Syria.

- claimed it was some kind of self-motivated “DIY” terrorism, even though the attack was extensive, clearly well-planned and well-supplied, involving at least eight heavily armed terrorists from at least three countries, with one terrorist apparently arriving in Europe as a “Syrian refugee” just last month.

- claimed the Islamic State was actually “weak”, even though this “weak” terrorist outfit has in the past month killed 129 people in France, 224 people in a Russian jet in Egypt and 44 people in bombings in Beirut.

- warned against fighting the Islamic State in Syria on the grounds we’d been falsely told that destroying al Qaeda would “end” terrorism - a claim no leader anywhere actually made, and one that ignores the inability of al Qaeda to repeat its “success” of September 11 since the invasion of Afghanistan.

- gave not one single proposal for actually fighting the Islamic State or reducing the terrorism threat other than a fatuous call to “unite”, even though he is a lecturer at Monash University’s terrorism centre.
Worse, though, Aly in his editorial singled out just one Australian by name - and picture - for criticism. No, it wasn’t a Muslim hate preacher like Sheik Wahwah. It wasn’t the evasive Grand Mufti, who today actually used the France terrorism to demand the West treat Muslims better. It wasn’t any of the Muslims who have joined or recruited for the Islamic State or shot or stabbed Australians here. It wasn’t any of the 21 Muslims jailed here for terrorism offences.

No, the one Australian he attacked was Pauline Hanson, a non-Muslim who has warned against the threat of jihadism.

That is disgraceful. That is evasive. That is scapegoating.

Pauline Hanson does not threaten to kill anyone. She does not espouse the creed of those who do.

True, Aly this time did mention Islam, which he refused to do in some past attempts to explain some Islamist terrorist attack.

But he did not give some important context in giving his bizarre take on the Paris atrocity.

First, he is a Muslim and was spokesman for the Islamic Council of Victoria at a time that it had voted to make the extremist Sheik Hilali the Mufti of Australia. He could be seen to have an agenda.

Second, just last year he falsely claimed the Islamic State represented no great threat to us:

What seems to underlie all of this is that ISIS represents a serious threat to Australia. Can you give us an indication of precisely the scope of that threat and the mechanism, can you describe it precise terms? Because it’s not immediately clear when you consider this is a movement on the other side of the world that seems to be importing people rather than exporting them.

Since then, an Islamic State supporter staged the deadly Martin Place siege. Another Islamic State supporter stabbed two police in Melbourne. A teenager in contact with the Islamic State shot police accountant Curtis Cheng. The Paris terrorists, linked to the Islamic State, shot an Australian teenager.

I believe Channel 10 must question whether Aly should be the station’s main explainer of Islamist terrorism.

UPDATE

Mind you, I am the bad guy. The media Left on Twitter is loving Aly’s take. Anything that suggests that we can fight the Islamic State with a few hugs and hashtags, plus a big bucket of sand in which to bury our heads, is just what they want to hear.

Uncle lame :lol:

why are there so many lefties on a football forum?

The only unlikable thing about Aly is his Gen-Y cred...hipster kewl-kidz and slut ex-Big Brother housemates pay attention to him - doubtful they'd listen to someone even more qualified than him.

Bolt/Panahi/Miranda Devine etc. are like France's post-Revolutionary Bourbon exiles...even after Napoleon was ousted they still found shit to complain about...and should Australia ever become a Menzies-ian rightwing cesspool they still wouldn't be happy.

Is football a right wing sport?

Bolt's article was a bit rubbish but Kenny's was quite incisive.

Waleed Aly could've farted and the left wing media would still go bonkers for the new Muslim "glamour couple". The left are more interested in protecting the feelings of and maintaining peace, love and unity with the Islamic community, while the dirty work of combating terrorism and collecting the body parts of bomb victims is outsourced to the right. I guess both sides serve their purpose.

Well sport is quite competitive isn't it? At the end of the day there can only be one winner. I suppose if it was the greens running the A league every game would end in a draw, and at the end of the seasons each team would be etched on the winners cup.

A worldwide phenomenon of giving up on reality and living in the clouds.

Fascinating take :lol:

well there is no relegation in the A-league so there are no losers :)

I think BETHFC's take is more closer to the real reason

Same reason why the right-wing/Reclaim Australia sycophants are likely to make up a large no./the majority of plebs on BigFooty.com or Cricket Australia forums :idea:

So I keep seeing this same article about Putin sending 150k troops to Syria but it's from all the usual non-large media outlets.

like who?

But why male models football forums?

I blame the Den and it's hipster hordes for the increase is leftwingism :lol:

I follow the syrian/iraqi civil war daily via twitter and reddit, including accounts with sources in the russian and syrian governments, and this is the first ive heard of this.

For anyone interested I find these accounts the best for info.

FIFAs motto is "Fair Play " isnt it....except when your name is Sepp Blatter

I wouldnt know since I'm not a leftie. You;d have to ask a leftie.

the right wingers are indirectly responsible for all of this by stalling progress in dealing with the causes of climate change earlier.
the unrest in Syria didnt happen by itself, it happened because of a drought and the butcher of Damascus took things into his own hands by brutally cracking down on the unrest among his own people.

He's not kidding :lol:

As much as people don't like Bolt, you have to admit that he makes some very good points.
