Out of touch with reality?

Everyone knows by now about Alan Jones’ disgusting, straight from the gutter comments about the Prime Minister’s late father. Here’s a refresher.

“Every person in the caucus of the Labor Party knows that Julia Gillard is a liar,” News Limited reported Mr Jones as saying at last Saturday’s event at a Sydney restaurant.

“Everybody, I’ll come to that in a moment.

“The old man recently died a few weeks ago of shame. To think that he had a daughter who told lies every time she stood for parliament.”

To compound his offence, he made a very insincere public apology where he also lamented that he thought it was a private function and was unaware that there was a journalist there. I am 99%  confident that had this not gotten out he’d be repeating his hate speech elsewhere and I still wouldn’t put it past him to say worse again. He’ll just be more careful. Jones is an idealogue and unrepentant despite his “apology”. He’s just sorry he got caught. Anyway, Jones certainly brought some criticism down on himself. You know if your fellow climate denying, rightwing  mate, Andrew Bolt is describing the comments as “very cruel, very wrong” and “shameful” then you really have stepped over the mark.

Alan Jones and some of the words used to describe his aweful comments

So with even his friends and allies using some very strong language in condemning Jones, what does the Galileo movement, the ultra conservative loony rightwing climate denying hillbillies that he is patron for,think?

So there you go, the batshit crazy Galileo movement are apologists for hatred. But I suppose they aren’t too keen to bite the hand hey?

    One of the Young Libs who was at the function tweeted that the remarks were ‘inappropriate and insensitive’, When I challenged him on it, suggesting other words were more appropriate, he tweeted back that the words were ‘appalling’.

    The Galileo Movement similarly refused to dissociate themselves from Malcolm Roberts’ anti-semitic paranoid conspiracy theories in a tweet exchange I had with them. It is the form of their ‘tweeter’. I don’t who it is who tweets for them, but they are both defensive and ‘appalling’ IMO. (One of the founders of the Galileo Movement on the other hand made it clear that he did not at all support the comments by Roberts, without condemning Roberts IIRC.)

    To clarify, the young lib tweeted that he agreed that Alan Jones remarks were ‘appalling’.
