Many Right-wingers are having difficulty accepting Hone Harawira's win at the weekend and are expressing themselves on Right-wing blogs in a manner that is revealing of the depth of their inability to see beyond their own narrow world of priveledge.
This comment, from someone who calls himself Tinman, posting at Keeping Stock on a thread the author calling himself Inventory2 has named 'Hone Muldoon' spells out clearly the frustration and anger many Right-wingers feel at Hone's victory in Te Tai Tokerau. It's not comfortable reading, for those of you who regard the world in a reasonable manner, but instructive to read nevertheless. Tinman says that Hone:
"is doing exactly what is expected - just what mummy tells him to.
Mummy, of course, is one of the lowest forms of life to be found in this universe.
The racist scum that elected this pair to parliament should be immediately rounded up and shot (slowly)."
Keeping Stock btw, advertises itself as:
"An eclectic mix of some of the finer things in life - politics, sport, music, humour and God."
- which begs the question, does the author condone comments such as those of Tinman? There's no indication from the bloggers response that he's uncomfortable with the kinds of things said therein.

Are you also going to tell tales on Bomber Bradbury who has, in the last 24 hours compared Cathy Odgers to "a cancerous tumour" and a paedophile?
PS; the Blogger has been busy with GST returns today. The taxman waits for no-one!
As is so typical, those lurking on the lunatic fringes resort to playing the man, eh RG?
Quite so PM; ironic to, with all the vitriol that RG leaves around the place...
Shot slowly?? eh? what a winner!
You bet....How does one shoot slowly?
ahem I better get Freud onto this one!!!
If he has, that appalling Inv2. It's always good to keep the discussion mannered.
Good luck with your GST.
PMofNZ - Tinman might not be a man at all PM. He seems to have no heart at all, therefore, he cannot be a man. Loved your 'those lurking on the lunatic fringes' comment - that's not playing the man.
Wishing all those Maori up there in Te Tai Tokerau dead Bio - that's the talk of a sociopath or psychopath, doncha think?
Certainly a racist.
Timan's someone you'd watch very carefully, if he was in the room with you. I'm surprised Inv2 doesn't require him to moderate his obscene comments.
Mark - puzzled me too. maybe it's something only a heartless Tinman can explain.
Hope he calls in to make his statements clearer.
When in Rome...
So Robert, taking a leap of logic from your post, you must condone my earlier comments on your blog. Are you really a right winger at heart then?
Paranormal
We're all right-wingers at heart paranormal but some of us overcome those base instincts and rise up above that and become enlightened humans - Greens!
PMofNZ - are you quoting John Key -
'when in Rome - fiddle!'
(is that smoke I smell Gerry?)
Comments speak for themselves Robert. I may not agree with the things that people say, but I prefer not to censor. I've had over 15,000 comments in almost four years, and I'd be surprised if I've deleted more than 20. People can read them and draw their own conclusions about the content and the author, as you'd be only too aware.
Anyway, here's a link to Bomber's handiwork; look forward to seeing a post entitled "From the Far Left" soon :)

PS - GST done and dusted for another two months!
My theory is that we become more conservative as we grow older. Some people perhaps start right wing in their youth and then its down the slippery slope to fascism by middle age. The only person I know who don't fit this pattern is me. ;-)
And yet I sense a liberal thread in your weft Jonesy - perhaps your conservative crust was cracked somewhere along the way and some light got in.
You might thank your lucky stars for that.
Any thoughts on Bombers hate speech yet Rob?
I've read it and will respond tonight. She gave him a good dressing down though I have to say.
She did, didn't she. I can imagine that she could be an acid-tongued debater in the House.
This fascinating comment caught my eye Inv2. What do you make of it?
"No, Craig, I'm not bright enough to be scientist (or patient or kind enough) I'm a minister in a little known extremist christian movement. We believe in insidiously sniping about people and their politics while claiming some kind of mandate from the lord. Instead of loving thy neighbour, we love only those who think like us. It's called the church of political glass house stone-throwing hypocrisy. Our place of worship is on the west coast of the lower north island. Join us!"
