ANDREW BOLT: RACIST, FASCIST, ISLAMOPHOBE

Andrew Bolt is Australia's most dangerous racist. He is employed by a major Australian regional newspaper and a TV station that broadcasts nationwide in order for him to directly peddle his racist and Islamophobic propaganda. His blog at Rupert Murdoch's Herald-Sun newspaper enjoys the support of a small but dedicated group of like-minded extreme right-wing bigots, rednecks and racists who regularly comment at his blog, and his TV spot is financially supported by various asssorted climate change deniers who have a vested interest in being anti-renewable resources and pro-pollutionist.

Bolt is dangerous because he has a wide audience that his employers see as being gullible to their brand of media propaganda.

This blog aims to expose Bolt for what he really is - a deceitful propagandist intent on dividing Australians by promoting fear and paranoia of multiculturalism. Without the backing of the likes of Murdoch and Gina Rinehart, et al, Bolt is nothing.

BOLT’S GONE INTO PANIC MODE AS THE LEFT MAKES HEADWAY AGAINST ABBOTT…

The reaction of ordinary Australian’s to the death and violence in Abbott’s concentration camps for asylum seekers has come as a blow to the Right and, as a result, Bolt’s column today is filled with posts that defend Abbott and the government. Bolt does this in the only way he knows how; insult, lie and demean the Left by cherry-picking the aggressive antics of those that are angry. In doing so, Bolt all but ignores the past aggression the Right-wing had for Gillard. He writes: “Once in a crowd a person held up a sign calling Julia Gillard a witch,” as though that was a one off occasion and calling Gillard a witch was all there was.

Bolt, as usual, lies. The Right-wingers holding up those signs (plural) appeared at numerous anti-Labor rallies where Abbott spoke not just calling Gillard a witch but with signs saying ‘Burn the Witch’ and ‘Hang the Witch’.

Bolt also conveniently forgets to mention Alan Jones’ call for Gillard to be ‘put in a chaff bag and dumped out to sea’.

Talk about hypocrisy.

Of course, all this nonsense from Bolt is just to distract and deflect the concerns of ordinary Australians from the real issues of the day; the question of the disgusting way the Abbott government treats those who seek asylum in Australia.

The backlash from the ordinary folk of Australia and led by the Left against the cruel and demeaning treatment of asylum seeking boatpeople is beginning to take effect. Bolt’s desperate foaming at the mouth rhetoric suggests that the message is finally getting through to the people of Australia that something is terribly wrong with the Abbott government.

  1. Great article - one thing though. You can't really say "His blog at Rupert Murdoch's Herald-Sun newspaper enjoys the support of a small but dedicated group of like-minded extreme right-wing bigots, rednecks and racists" and in the next paragraph say "Bolt is dangerous because he has a wide audience that his employers see as being gullible to their brand of media propaganda. "

    You might want to rethink that...

    Again - GREAT ARTICLE!

    1. G'day Soma
      Thanks for the heads-up. I was thinking in terms of the "small but dedcated group of like-minded extreme right-wing bigots, rednecks and racists" being those that regularly comment at Bolt's posts who I refer to as 'Bolt's Boggies', while the "wide audience" are those others that read his blog and watch his TV program.
      Cheers

  2. I would like to know about Andrew Bolt's parents. During the Second World War a lot of Dutch were very sympathetic to the German occupation. I wonder if his parents were the same as he seems to have a tendency to criticize in a very propogandistic way. Were his parents secretly Fascist members who came to Australia to escape persecution. I get the feeling that his mother was never really happy being in Australia and she really longed for the old ways. As he father was a Head Master at country schools I can imagine them setting around the table and having a good old laugh at the locals (hicks) expense.
