Yes. :lol:

I find it amusing you don't read his articles, and purely base your opinion on him from someone elses opinion posted on another website... but thats cool


We're making progress then. Until this blog post I hadn't read anything from Bolt this year, but yes I have in the past. I think the Anders Breivik thing that blew up in his face might've been the last thing I read from him. Pure Poison (sadly no more) had a smiliar opinion of Bolt to mine (although I've never been quite as strong in my dislike of Bolt as they were, hence why I only posted a fraction of their anti-Bolt posts) so given their track record trusted their judgement.

It's a fact. Examples of him using false info are littered throughout this very thread.

Well after starting this thread 2 1/2 years ago and now 33 pages later, we're excruciatingly close to an outright 'no' result at 49%.

Now if the preferences of the unsure and don't cares all go Bolt's way, we may have a hung poll.

Anyway, back on topic.

Bolt is free to say what he wants as long as it is within the law, but man WADH he is. :lol:

The only time I even take notice of Bolt is when Gozu posts on here.
Could Gozu really be his publicity manager using some reverse psychology to keep his name in front of everyone?

It's probably at this point I should confess my regular mode of transport is via an unmarked black helicopter.

Yet again Bolt makes a complete arse of himself:

Note how unsubtly The Age wove this in with Julia Gillard’s red herring about Larry Pickering and the Labor’s fraudulent attack on Tony Abbott’s alleged sexism.

The few undergraduates left at the paper are turning it into a university student paper in their frantic efforts to tear Abbott down.

CORRECTION: The copy was written by AAP. Apologies to The Age.

what I like about Bolt is his ability to flesh out issues that bother the looney left and draw admiration from the conservative right. Anyone who can do that either through fact or fiction has my admiration. Onya Boltmeister :supz: ^:)^

This post couldn't have summed up the far-right's MO any better.
