Brought to you this morning from "Whale Oil":
"Now lets see if we can all get Labour apologist Jordan for pack his bags and piss off back to Canada."
Such nice people, these right wingers. Obviously one is not welcome in Fatherland Fortress New Zealand unless one is born here.
This is precisely the kind of scumbag view that is all-too-sadly typical of some of the more venomous people on the right. A vote for the right (National or NZ First particularly) is an implicit endorsement of this sort of attitude.
Update: yes, this post was a pisstake. Obviously too clever... explanation here.
No, it's not racist, Jordan.
It's just an invitation for you to fuck off back to Canada.

Jordan, I will be expecting a big apology...I am not Rascist or Xenophobic.
I was born in Fiji and am married to a Lebanesse whose father is Australian. I live in the midst of NZ biggest Asian population and have extensive business interests with Asians. My Brother lives in Korea and is married to a Filipina and my sister married a Rarotongan. In fact I would consider me and my family to be the epitome of a multicultural kiwi family.
I see you are not complaining about being called a Labour Apologist just that I asked that you piss off back to Canada as you yourself said you would do in a previous post if National won the election.

"A vote for the right (National or NZ First particularly) is an implicit endorsement of this sort of attitude."
Don't be silly Jordan, this is like saying a vote for the left is an endorsement of Milsy's attitude.
But I do agree that alot of the blogs are getting too nasty, surely we can all discuss politics rationally instead of acting like 14 year old schoolgirls. Lift your game one and all!

When the sun finally shines on New Zealand and you lose the election next month and contemplate going back to Canada, let's not forget that the Martin Government over there are in minority and will probably be gone by next spring.
I just can't wait for the CPC to re-ban gay marriage - just for you. Where will you scurry off to then? Provincetown Massechusetts? Nunavut? (Perhaps we should build a prison for socialist scum at the latter.)

Jordan,
Canadaian eh!
That explains your ability to put up with so much shite from these guys.
Canadians, without exception have been the nicest people I have ever met. I've live in Vancouver twice and would be back there at the drop of a hat.
The amazing ability for canadians to hold the fundamental respect for fellow humans is astounding. EVERY single bus I was on, the boys would stand for women and ALL young people would stand for the elderly. It's a very little example, but speaks volumes for that country.
Plus they are as suspicious as America as we are.

Not so long ago Jordan left a comment in a post at Sir Humphrey's calling it a "right wing wank-fest".
Maybe when there's an apology for that vulgar comment, Jordan might have grounds to complain about "nice" comments.
Until then, he is nothing but a hypocrite.

Hah Jordan. Paul on your thread tells New Zealanders to piss off out of the country rather than be allowed to debate the level of tax.
Labour sets the bottom rate at 15%. If I argue to make it 10%, ooh err, suddenly I should leave the country if I don't like it. Not only that, the left rephrase the argument from "too much tax" to "pay no tax."
And now you take offence at the first "take off you hoser" statement you come across.
Canadians copyrighted that phrase.

Paul, that was me standing up on the bus for the women and elderly passengers. I do admit to being a good influence on my Canadian friends.

Jordan:
Some advice: Remove the sick from your arse, because the crap's obviously backed up to your mouth and typing fingers. Given some of the poisonous left-wing vitriol you tolerate around here and link to, do you think voting for Labour and the Greens is "implicit endorsement" of rude and obnoxious individuals.
Really, I know campaign season brings out the crazies in everyone but change to decaf.

Don't like being called for your sins, do you, kids?
The point is made.
