In comments about Bolt's post about Rudd's racist Aboriginal health initiative, "Concerned Australian" of Melbourne, who claims to be an Aborigine, earns some spiteful responses. Among them:

akka replied to Concerned Australian Fri 27 Feb 09 (10:16am) And where were you stolen from?

Other commenters compare the government's policies to Apartheid. No snipping.

“K.Rudd. Prime Minister of Australia. Rascist.
This is the main reason for bad feeling between Aboriginal and non Aboriginal Australians. One set of rules/laws for ‘’them’’, another set for ‘’us’’Integration means all should be treated the same.

therednek ”

Dontcha just love it! ‘Rascist’.
Presumably therednek would be happy to have his life expectancy reduced to 50 years. {Deleted inappropriate comment about “theredneck” — Scott}

AND I have a screen shot of my latest comment under moderation on this post as “Barking Gecko II” (necessary name change, since you BANNED my original “Barking Gecko” ID).

Scratch a leftist, find a fascist. Every. single. time.

I am seriously curious as to why you banned my “Barking Gecko” login/user account.

Too close to home?

Silencing dissent?

What a bunch of pathetic wusses.

Here's one for abject gay-bashing. A Leftist reader replying to a comment by Rightist Jay Santos on Andrew Bolt's blog post here:

Ricky of Barham replied to Jay Santos Tue 17 Feb 09 (11:36am) At least Obama doesn’t seek his “nourishment” in bum-banditry.

There are other Leftist bloggers who regularly call Jay "Gay," obviously meaning it to be a put-down. That playground taunting demonstrates that many Leftists still think that there is something wrong and shameful about people being gay. No wonder so many homosexuals on the Right say that it is easier to be gay amongst conservatives than conservative amongst gays.

"That comment should’ve been deleted. It’s shite."

Notwithstanding your kneejerk demand for censorship, Scott Bridges, it certainly meets Pure Poison's criteria for "Poison Comment of the Month," and I hope you will give it due consideration. "Roger of Scoresby" is rather a prolific commenter to Andrew Bolt's blog, and I understand from your mission statement that you are desirous of giving credit where credit is due.
