Gozu, are you a plant? Do you get paid for what you post and what you link? Are you employed by a political party?

Charming, I link to an article at PP about a disgraceful comment on the Menzies House site and now I'm being accused of being a plant?

Another right-winger resorted to this when I first started posting on here too.

No I am not and have never been a member of any party, but I am a lefty.

Your "look over there!" tactics need refining.

Just a question. Plants on forums do happen. Mainly a right wing tactic. Good money can be made. Sony use the same tactic.

The Cory Bernardi (far-right Liberal Party senator) founded 'Menzies House' in hot water for letting this comment through on their site:

“When that happens these Green bastards should be lined up and shot as traitors!”

ONE of the protesters kicked out of Parliament House for interrupting Julia Gillard during the carbon tax debate has apologised for using "offensive and sexist language" about the Prime Minister.

Western Sydney man Dick Pearson -- one of the ringleaders who brought Ms Gillard and Federal Parliament to a standstill by chanting from the public gallery -- said he regretted abusing the PM.

In a letter to The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Pearson identified himself as the man who was captured by TV cameras yelling out: "I'm just a citizen that's fed up with this Stalinist redheaded skank that's running this country. Bloody lyin' skank, red-headed bitch."

A Liberal senator has apologised for offending the Jewish community by drawing a comparison between the lobby group GetUp! and the Hitler Youth.

Senator Ian Macdonald made the comparison on Thursday in the Senate, referring to GetUp! as the "Hitler Youth wing of the Greens political movement".

Liberal MP Michael Pengilly rapidly back-pedalled after calling the Prime Minister "a real dog" on Twitter.

The South Australian MP, who tweets under the handle @PengillyMP, sent the News Limited journalist David Penberthy a message that said: "she's a real dog" in reply to a tweet by Penberthy about Julia Gillard.

Just after the Speaker, Harry Jenkins, resigned, Penberthy tweeted: "Coalition staffer mate tells me after Jenkins resigned the PM was outside their office saying "what a great day this is".

So what did "she's real dog" mean in this context?
Was it a reference to her appearance, or to her persistence in gnawing at the problem of numbers until she achieved an extra vote in the finely balanced Parliament?
