The idea that Anning's deeply divisive and hate-promoting words, and mooshing an egg in someone's hair, are remotely on the same moral plane is ludicrous. 

One may result in a five minute trip to the washroom, a few wet paper towels.

The other may result in the virulent spread of hatred and violence through a population of millions.

One was a bit childish, the other was a full frontal assault on the humanity of millions of people and a vile slur on the innocent victims of a mass murder.

You are really focusing on the wrong act of violence here, Dingo-dinner.

John Oliver Defends 'Egg Boy'

Australia's beloved 'egg boy'.


#####

Not the first clue this article.

'Egg boy' was violent, hit someone in the back of the head when they were totally not expecting to be hit/smashed in the head with an egg.
All captured on his phone.

"Coward's punch"...many people have been quick to point out.
If Oliver is supporting this violence, violence inflicted on a Senator of the Australian parliament ...then he stands condemned.

Wonder if he supports someone hitting the US President in the back of the head with an egg, with a "coward's punch", at a media conference?
What is funny is that you missed the irony in Oliver's comments, even after.the article literally spelled it out for you.

Senator Anning issued a statement after the terror attack the other day in NZ.
He put his name to it, so he owns it, and lives it...every word of it.

Part of his statement reads:

'I am utterly opposed to any form of violence within our community, and I totally condemn the actions of the gunman,' he said.

'However, whilst this kind of violent vigilantism can never be justified, what it highlights is the growing fear within our community, both in Australia and New Zealand, of the increasing Muslim presence.


Some people might agree with him, others might not.

I know not of New Zealand.
Living and breathing 'Australia' every day...if you were to ask me: "Is their growing fear within your community in Australia of the increasing Muslim presence?".
I would answer; "Judging by what callers to talk-back radio say, I read in the newspapers, and hear moving around society, there seems to be. The fear seems to increase after every terrorist attack occurs and every terror plot is discovered, and decreases in between."

Another terror trial commenced in Sydney yesterday;

Two brothers accused of plotting to blow up a Sydney plane with a bomb hidden in a meat mincer both had a sermon on their phones which said: “Oh god bring down the aeroplanes”.

The NSW Supreme Court heard that a fourth brother was in Syria and had links to Islamic State.

"While this kind of violence cannot be justified, here is the justification for it. The other folks have no justification for theirs. It came out of the blue."

Yeah, he owns it, all right.

Eggboy got his 15 minutes

But of course Bambu is correct - nobody in the US would rightly support Ms Talib or Ms Omar or Ms Cortez or Mr Booker having the same done to them.

Eggboy's good fortune to not be in a hospital.

Obviously he hasn't.
Everyone else on the Right has been silenced, one way or another.

What you want is to silence the left, not speak your ideas. You want immunity from criticism of your ideas. You want to not be subject.to people expressing negative judgments about you based upon the ideas you Express. That is not going to happen. You are free to spew your racist bile. You are not immune from other people speaking their piece about you.
