Today we are proud to present to our readers Australian bred and born Moonbat Galore!
Ladies and Gentlemen: Margo Kingston!!!

Margo Kingston

(Applause for at least 5 minutes. No, no standing ovation, this is reserved for Phatty Adams, sometimes later, in a week or two).

***********************
There is no need to introduce Margo to the Australian audience but to our international guests it needs to be explained that if they wish to learn about Margo’s stand on all sorts of issues it would be much easier to learn what the Australian Liberal Party stands for (Liberal means Conservative or Good in Australia).
It also would be easier to find what actions the Australian federal government undertook and what new policies it introduced.
Once they get acquainted with all of the above they should automatically know that Margo is against it.
She is against the whole package – no exceptions.

It is much more difficult to summarize Margo’s positive political platform.
Personally, she would like to see herself as the champion for “the human rights of minorities”, including Aboriginal people, homosexuals and the poor.”
At least Margo admits we are talking about “minorities” here.

Margo also fancies herself to be a journalist but slowly even the sad socialist rag called Sydney Morning Herald cuts its links with her and so she operates mostly from Not Happy John (where she’s peddling her book under the same title) and The Northern Rivers Echo.

This is what her biography, published originally by the Australian, says about Margo’s professional credentials:

Margo Kingston began her career in law after graduating with honours from the University of Queensland. Following a brief career in Commercial Law, Margo turned to teaching, lecturing in commercial law for a short time.
At the age of 26, Margo approached the Courier-Mail for work as a journalist, and was told to start the following week as a cadet journalist. Soon after, Margo found herself in the Canberra press gallery, reporting on the ins and outs of politics and Parliament.

Ever wandered why Margo stopped pursuing her career in law?

An inveterate worrier, Kingston says her personality was completely unsuited to the law. She would lie awake at night worrying, finally jumping out of bed to look up cases for reassurance.

The above quotation is very important if we try to understand Margo’s unique lack of any feelings of responsibility and ethics.

Did Margo really worried about getting her facts right?

No, not at all, she worried she could have been recognized for what she really is an ignorant individual who desperately wants to have her opinion heard without the pains of research and learning.

She also has problems with seeing what is right and what is wrong and so the Marxists ethical relativism suits her just fine.

Very often people deprived of any basic intellectual faculties adopt “ready to use” ideologies and or philosophies and follow them blindly to make sure they do no wrong.

Your, shortcomings, your bigotry your lack of tolerance and the pathological hate to all things different can comfortably hide behind those formulas, those “ideologies”.

Usually people of such caliber become zealots, fanatics and so does Margo.

It is a very dangerous combination; ignorance, self-righteousness and fanaticism.

Yet, Margo is smart enough to know deep down that she doesn’t really know much and so she worked out her own unique journalistic style to cover her hind quarters.

Margo usually starts her stories by dropping some facts without explaining the core meaning and the background of the issue in question.

Auditor-General Pat Barrett, accountant, has taken his time in becoming a national hero. He’s old-fashioned enough to believe in that archaic concept, ‘the public interest’. He dresses in daggy grey suits and is so shy he usually talks to the ground.
Last year, Barrett saved our priceless public information technology assets from wholesale handover to the private sector.

Do you really know what happened apart from the fact that the hero saved our lives?

Then the accusations come without any further details as if the reader would be already acquainted with the issue and so any further explanations are nor necessary.

Finance minister John Fahey wanted us to pay the private sector to asset strip the specialised expertise of the CSIRO, the bureau of meteorology, the national archives, the courts and even the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation.

Then Margo passes the judgment and her sentence – guilty as charged (as everybody knows it should be).

Barrett exposed the scam in a report which found most of Fahey’s alleged savings were illusory

.

Now you know John Fahey is guilty as sin but you don’t know who he is and which prison cell he is serving his sentence in.

The scam?
The real story was – Back in 2000 the former Finance Minister John Fahey had a proposal of IT Outsourcing for all federal government departments.
The proposal did not meet the approval of the government appointed auditor general and the project was abandoned.
End of story.
(If you’re really interested why the IT Outsourcing was called off in detail you can read this material - Warning! It is ancient history.)

On very rare occasions Margo does mention some real facts which cannot be left hanging in the air because they speak for themselves.

Like in this case when she stated as a matter of fact:

Question from readers Tim and Anna-Maria Stephens:

Hi Margo. Please see below our e-mail to Minister Downer today concerning Australia’s vote in the UN General Assembly on the West Bank wall. This one has really slipped under the radar. Why, we can all ask, was there no public debate about this?

Margo answers:

Because the fundamentalist Zionist lobby controls politics and the media in the US and Australia.

Naturally, on the very next day Margo had some explaining to do.
And boy didn’t she do a great job of that in “Zionism: too many meanings make communication too hard?“

Obviously, I did not mean what many people believed I meant.

That’s fair enough Margo, no problem.

I am not anti-semitic, and I thought what I wrote was a statement of fact.

Wow, what can I say.
Adolf Hitler wouldn’t be able to put it any better himself.
Of course you’re not Anti-Semitic it is not your fault Margo, those Jewish Elders had this meeting and they planned the world’s takeover.

For your information dear readers Margo is not anti-Semitic.

The left these days prefers the term anti-Zionist.

There is nothing wrong with that because EVERYBODY KNOWS Zionists are fascists.

I admit I’m at a loss to understand the anti-semitic charge. Is it the use of the ‘Zionist’ lobby? After all, there are Zionist Federations everywhere. Or is it the suggestion that this lobby controls politics and silences the media on the Israel issue? I’d really appreciate your advice on this – it seemed so uncontroversial when I wrote it – I suppose because I mix largely with left wing Jewish Australians. Is there another form of words which won’t offend people but makes the same point?

How clever- admitting in public to having some Jews as best friends does make it right!

Where does Margo gets her facts from? – You may ask.
From Middle-East Realities of course.

I still couldn’t quite work it out, because “Fundamentalist Zionism” was not a description of all Jewish people, but of some Jewish and some fundamentalist Christian people in a political movement which support the actions of Sharon and his Likud party without question. In that regard, on the recommendation of a reader I read Israel’s apartheid: roots in ‘Revisionist Zionism’ (July 23). It reads:
When Ariel Sharon became Prime Minister of Israel, the picture on the wall was not that of Theodore Herzl, the secular and worldly European Jewish journalist whose book ‘The Jewish State’ launched the movement to create a modern-day nation-state tied to historical Judaism. Rather the picture on the wall was that of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the Jewish militant who was for many years the arch-nemesis of the Zionist establishment led by David Ben-Gurion and the Labor Party.
Jabotinsky was in fact declared a fascist by his opponents for espousing what today can be easily recognized as a kind of racist ‘ethnic-cleansing’ philosophy.

What we have here is a journalist learning on the job the complex issues of the Middle East from MER and Wikipedia – not bad, not bad at all.

Margo finishes her explanation-apology with a really nice touch:

By the way, I’m half Jewish and half Irish – not only do I have terrorists on both sides of the family, but if there is a book of Guilt then honey, I wrote it!
To conclude, I sincerely apologise for any offence caused, and will be happy to publish reader discussion on the matter.

And so we learn that not only all the Jews but also all Irish are terrorists and that Margo is half Jewish.

Margo!
Firstly- Saying even ten thousand times “I am Jewish” doesn’t make you Jewish any more than a feather stuck into Wart Churchill’s arse would make him a “real injun”.

Secondly – Who needs insults with this kind of apology.

To finish our presentation, I’d like you to read through this hilarious story:

Before you start reading you should know the following:
- Australian League of Rights, is an Australian white supremacist organization.
- John Howard is the current Prime Minister of Australia
- NHJ refers to Margo Kingston book “Not Happy John” (a book in which Margo tells the world that John Howard is a fascist).

Reader Cilla Tey wrote a letter to Margo Kingston at Not Happy John:

I was googling ‘League of Rights’ + ‘Howard’, after hearing the rumour regarding Howard senior being a member. I was so surprised to find that they are selling NHJ! (refer below, I have cut and pasted from www.alor.org). Maybe I should also check out www.pm.gov.au!

BOOKS FROM THE MAILING SERVICES: ‘Not Happy, John’ by Margo Kingston: Solicitor, lecturer in business law and political commentator, Sydney Morning Herald journalist Margo Kingston thinks its crunch time for Australia. She tells us she isn’t interested in the old, out-worn left-right rhetoric, what she is interested in is the urgent need for Australians to reassert the core values that once made this nation a humane, egalitarian, liberal democracy – the core values with which she agrees. We could agree with her on many issues. She writes that she is not happy with the way Howard: o He snuck us into the Iraq war without ever really telling us why. o Trampled on our democratic right to know. o Wants to give the Media Moguls control of ALL our news. o Lets Big Donations/Big Business share a barbecue with him and George. o Uses ‘globalisation’ to avoid accountability. o Treats Australians as passive consumers not as CITIZENS and people of goodwill. And much, much more. Paperback, pp446, $30.00 posted.

To which NHJ responded:

NHJ responds (AL): NHJ does not support the aims, intentions or ambitions of the League of Rights.

Margo, you may say whatever you wish but for us, mere mortals, it is very hard to see any difference between your ideas and those from ALOR.
