Dull thoughts on a shiny, shiny world.
Published on January 18, 2005 By cactoblasta In Politics
In recent times I think we've all grown aware that there seems to be a thriving trade in insults on the political pages of Joe User. From the Right's stock phrases "Go back and look at Clinton" and "loony loopy/lopopy luddite" (Drs. Guy et Miler, 2005) to the leftist's "shut up you ignorant moron" and vitriolbot (Myrrander et al, various), I think JU is seeing a renaissance in insults not seen since the height of the pre-election fervour.

I for one applaud it. I think it's time for everyone to embrace their inner child and indulge in the good, honest fun of political name-calling. It's unimaginably cathartic. Take the death of real discussion in the style of your political foes, and let trivial disputes overwhelm your preference for unnecessary reasoned argument.

Spread the love and the word of JU as it were. With past masters like < name censored >, < name censored >, < name censored >, < name censored > and others to lead us into the dawn of this exciting new day all we have to lose are our inhibitions and our minds.

And in a world of giant waves and dancing robots, that's a small price to pay for peace of (fractured) mind.

Call me old fashioned, but I like Cheney's good, old, reliable "Go F*ck yourself"

I also like Pierre Trudeau's "Fuddle-duddle"

It was not me that came up with the "vitriolbot" -- although they appeared on one of my threads from anonymous users posing as Drs. Miller and Guy.

I thought it was amusing, though, although I'm pretty sure that neither of the good doctors actually has enough of a sense of humour to have come up with it (although Dr. Miller has been very amusing on occasion).

How I long for the good ole days of Hawke, Keating and Whitlam. There were some insulters with wit. Fred Daly, Mick Young, bring em on back. The best would have to go to Menzies (though some believe it to be a Churchill quote):

When a female member of the Opposition told Menzies that if she were his wife she would put arsenic in his tea, Menzies replied:

"Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it".

Tiny party hats for my behind, the lot of you. In a word: Asshats.
