today's total cockhead.

Alan Jones (who really needs some sort of lifetime cockhead award).

BY THURSDAY last week Alan Jones was screaming like a race caller whose horse was coming home. "I'm the person that's led this charge here. Nobody wanted to know about North Cronulla, now it's gathered to this."

The riot was still three days away and Sydney's highest-rating breakfast radio host had a heap of anonymous emails to whip his 2GB listeners along. "Alan, it's not just a few Middle Eastern bastards at the weekend, it's thousands. Cronulla is a very long beach and it's been taken over by this scum. It's not a few causing trouble. It's all of them."

Sunday's trouble did not come out of the blue. It was brewing all week on talkback radio — particularly on 2GB.

Radio doesn't get much grimmer than Alan Jones' efforts in the days before the Cronulla riot. He was dead keen for a demo at the beach — "a rally, a street march, call it what you will. A community show of force."

He assured his huge audience he "understood" why that famous text message went out and he read it right through again on air. "Come to Cronulla this weekend to take revenge. This Sunday every Aussie in the Shire get down to North Cronulla to support the Leb and wog bashing day …"

Daily he cautioned his listeners not to take the law into their own hands, but he warmed to listeners who had exactly that on their minds.

Last Thursday Charlie rang to suggest all junior footballers in the Shire gather on the beach to support the lifesavers. "Good stuff, good stuff," said Jones.

"I tell you who we want to encourage, Charlie, all the Pacific Island people because, you want to know something, they don't take any nonsense. They are proud to be here — all those Samoans and Fijians. They love being here. And they say, 'Uh huh, uh huh. You step out of line, look out.' And, of course, cowards always run, don't they?"

When John called on Tuesday to bluntly recommend vigilante action — "If the police can't do the job, the next tier is us" — Jones did not dissent. "Yeh. Good on you, John." And when he then offered a maxim his father had picked up during the war — "Shoot one, the rest will run" — the broadcaster roared with laughter. "No, you don't play Queensberry's rules. Good on you, John."

It was horrible stuff, larded with self-congratulation. And pity poor Berta — "not of a Middle Eastern family" — who tried to argue there were two sides to this story. When she reported hearing "really derogatory remarks" aimed at Middle Eastern people on Cronulla beach, Jones cut her off: "Let's not get too carried away, Berta. We don't have Anglo-Saxon kids out there raping women in western Sydney."

Yesterday, 2GB broadcasters claimed two-thirds of calls coming into the station supported "what happened" at Cronulla on Sunday. But Alan Jones is not around to deal with the aftermath. He's having a well-earned holiday.

pissweak racist shitbags

One of the more disturbing things about all this is that it gives publicity to the pack of drooling mouth-breathers known as the Patriotic Youth League. These lame little no-neck thugs are running around claiming some sort of vindication after the weekend.

But check this out (from the smh

The league's spokesman, Luke Connors, admitted that its flyers demanding an end to multiculturalism were distributed by members in Cronulla. "But we only had 15 people there, of which 10 were girls and three their boyfriends. They joined in the chanting, but as soon as the scuffles began, they got out and went to the pub," said Mr Connors, 21.

Now you might think that this doesn't seem like nazis - running away when the fighting starts. But these pieces of shit aren't even nazis - in their sorry wet dreams they consider themselves glorious stormtroopers. In reality, they're a pack of pissweak mummy's boys. Darp has been chronicling his interactions with these lowlifes.

And yes, in this very small way I'm giving them a little bit more oxygen and publicity. But I think it's important to realise just what these cretins are. They're not nazis. They're not the face of white pride, whatever the fuck that means. They're opportunistic bottom-feeders. I have catfish in my fish tank with more credibility than these tools.

patriotism is the last - er second last, no wait - third last refuge of the scound

Johnson needs an update.

Let's play pretend that you're a right-wing douchebag trying to beat up the whole fake "War on Christmas" crap as a fundraiser and general excuse to get your loathsome smug face on the TV alot. And let's say you're paired up against someone, say, like Air America's Sam Seder, who's both funnier and more informed than you are. As you'd expect, you get kicked around pretty viciously. What's a douchebag to do?

Do you break out the patriotism? Eh, not so much these days. It seems so last century. Normally, you'd break out the terrorism/911/islamist crap, but there's a way to take it to the next level. Witness:

PHILLIPS: Bob, I'm going to let you have the final thought.

KNIGHT: OK. You know, when the Nazis moved into Austria in 1936...

That's right. In a discussion of the bogus "War on Christmas", the douchebag raised the FUCKING NAZIS. Against a Jewish debater. Nicely done. It wasn't an off-the-cuff comment, either, he continued on for some time. Wow.


Crooks and Liars has the video, and Atrios provides highlights (if that is the word) from the full transcript.
