BadBob: not bothered at all because i don't believe it happens. like robj said, the only bit of info they'd glean would be idiots trying to out-racist and out-sexist each other from the comfort of anonymity. besides, i'm sure our security agencies have far better things to be worrying about than a very small, ignorant minority of Australia.

I'm old enough to remember when they used to do similar things to anyone who dared to dissent, even mildly, from the conservative anti-communist consensus of the 1950s and '60s. Isn't it just slightly disconcerting that they're now doing the same to a bunch of half-educated groupies? Is anyone else bothered by the thought of ASIO and the Feds monitoring Bolt’s blog?

Hmmmmm green bags and dead babies spring to mind. On the one hand you have Boltards screaming blue murder over Brown, yet in a nearby thread on the exact same Blog you've got Boltards blaming Labor and the Greens for the catastrophe. Typical hypocrisy from Bolt and his band of idiot fans. confessions, see the story in the Age about Turnbull taking $50 000 from Peter Brigger, chairman of the 'vulture company' Fortress? Turnbull even had shares in this 'vulture company' but he offloaded them when presidential hopeful John Edwards started to distance himself from Fortress. It seems to me that the world economy tanked because of greedy bastards like Turnbull, he has no credibility on the issue of the financial crisis, apparently he made $28o million (US) as a merchant banker, all the while countless Americans lost their homes. the guy is completely out of touch with the reality that most of us live. Scandalous. (yes yes Boltards, I realise that the Rudd's are very wealthy, because Therese Rudd appears to have a talent for running an employment agency, she's not a merchant wanker though) Hypocrite Bolt having a go at Brown’s politicing out of tragedy.

Mel & Kochie? Carl Stephnovich? Why would any private company provide free quality advice? We'd have our vital info peppered with ads, mock outrage and other sensless shit. Then again I guess regular fans of Bolt are into having everything dumbed down.

"Bolt is like the kids that light bushfires & disappear. Only to come back later & help fire & police to put out the flames & pretend they are a hero." Just that? No swearing or breaking the guidelines. He just didnt want his followers seeing that. Then he continued to allow one of his red neck faithfull to attack with surprise surprise, no follow up defense from myself, as all subsequent posts were censored. "Bob, you’re contributing to the idiots wealth by generating posts…that is, the idiots will rally to defend their bigoted hypocritical hero, generating many hits." I realise this & I usually show constraint, allthough some posts are just so far from reality & the supporters so blindly following that alternative reality, that I feel the need to burst the snow dome they live in. Bolt also writes like some ADHD cross OCD freak, as he just pumps out so many outlandish blogs per day. I suspect its to do withthe fact that everything he says gets debunked & he needs the evidence pushed back into the archives each time. Didnt anyone hear that Bolts columns are scanned regularly by the Feds & ASIO for criminal profiling? As the site is so rich with nutjobs, they get a high yield harvest.
