Eli enjoys making insults and teasing people he deems to be pathetic. I find it quite funny actually and I don't think it is his attempt at making a point in the absence of an argument holding substance. It is merely his writing and personality style. The superiority complexes, "that chap", non PC remarks and others are just part of his laugh and sense of bewilderment at the extraordinary moronry that goes on in Politically correct New Zealand and socialist mindsets.

There isn't much relevance I agree. (And to suggest corruption from an Old Boy of my college too!) But no doubt he'd be tempted to toe the Labour line with this prestigious post having gone his way.

Philip, please take into account the original post on this thread was written many months ago...

But, it would not surprise me if the Governor General will require National to win 61 seats before Key is invited to form a Government.

Were National to win, say, 56 seats, I think the Governor General would say "oh, as you do not have a majority in Parliament, there is no need for Helen to resign so she should just carry on until defeated in parliament"

If you can introduce the Electoral Finance Act ...and other legislation... these people are sooooooooo ruthless I would not put it past them cooking up a scenario such as this.

Your accomplice Goode seems to think so. I don't mind too.

You see where you haven't left behind the evil political correctness of your education? Exclusive Brethren, Catholics can be targeted with insults but not the "hot now topics" as espoused by your lecturers.

 "Is he fat? Is he Indian? Yes and yes."

The relevance still escapes me.

The other thing in favour of Helen Clark would be that fat Indian Governor General...you can bet he has been 'primed' to ensure he invites Labour to continue after the election.

My main question was what do you mean by the above? How exactly will the G.G ensure a labour victory? If you have some sort of evidence of impending electoral corruption then I'm interested- as nothing ever happens in N.Z. this could be the story of the century!

So Elijah shouldn't use the word "deformed"??  Or does this apply to all posters on SOLO?

Please advise us what the acceptable alternative terminology is - "physically challenged" perhaps? 

I think we are all adults and can make up our own mind about Mr Lineberry.  Quite frankly we don't need you to help us. 

Ha ha..gosh...I am surprised an off the cuff comment made 9 months ago is attracting such attention!

This is a case of all the Urban Liberal PC Girlie Men together ...everyone wanting to piss in the pocket of some socialist halfwit like Farrar...how pathetic.

Outside the beltway....in the real World...people do not feel a desire to engage in totalitarianism and thought police....they are happy enough to make fun of people, tell Irish jokes, or whatever without getting their knickers in a twist.

(Some of you people really need to leave Wellington for a while and obtain some life experiences)

On the subject of the Governor General...yes...I dislike the chap...feel he has debased the office with his gauche behaviour, lack of a Knighthood and (as I have said before) when viewed alongside previous Governors General ...such as Holyoake, Blundell and the chap who got the Bronze medal in the film "Chariots of Fire" the current GG is pathetic....(would not surprise me if he had barely enough money to afford the petrol to drive to his swearing in ceremony)

his deformation because I'm not aware of any, maybe Elijah is?
I've not seen why he could be deformed.

You are just ignoring Elijah's intentions here.  And the label "fat" comes under the category "insulting", not "racist".

Do you think calling Farrar "deformed" is simply calling a spade a spade?

it's racist to call someone fat, neither to call them black, if that is the case. You can't mangle the English language in this way. He is a fat Indian planted by Labour.

It is obvious that Elijah is using these descriptions in an insulting, racist fashion.  Is it PC to call him on that?

"We have now become so non-judgemental that speaking the truth and calling a spade a spade, all too often leads to complaints to the Human Rights Commission - not to mention the Press Council, the Advertising Standards Authority, and all of the other organisations that sit in judgement on such matters.

The danger is that human rights laws, which were originally introduced under the guise of protecting individuals from discrimination, impinge on the most basic human right of all - individual freedom. Under the Labour government, human rights arguments have been used to impose the political agendas of favoured minority groups onto the public at large to the extent that, for example, Maori cultural beliefs now dominate the New Zealand education curriculum and sexual orientation has ceased to be a private matter but - with a question on sexual orientation being planned for the census - one in which the state has a particular interest."

Especially you Wellington boys. Is he fat? Is he Indian? Yes and yes.

And the "fat" epithet, along with his description of Farrar as "deformed", is an ad hominem attack.

Elijah uses these when he cannot think of a real argument; he likes to attack people on a personal level, disparaging their race, class and physical characteristics, or their ideological credentials.

And why is being a 'fat Indian' relevant?

Elijah is a racist. That's why he mentions the fact that Anand Satyanand is Indian, as if it were relevant. It's not, of course.

The other thing in favour of Helen Clark would be that fat Indian Governor General...you can bet he has been 'primed' to ensure he invites Labour to continue after the election.

You haven't allowed for the liberal bias of most polling carried out for the MSM. Labour's 39% is likely lower or the margin, in reality, wider.

"I had no idea Farrar is deformed ...with a speech impediment and facial tic ..(typical Tory)"

 What a low blow.  He gets it right quite a lot of the time, and he does a very good job of getting on the news.

I could end up being correct ...the latest opinion polls show a dramatic closing of the gap between the two parties.

I, for the first time in months, watched the television news last night where they reported this opinion poll.

I also saw David Farrar (of all people!) being interviewed and described as a 'Political Commentator' talking about Winston Peters...gosh...I had no idea Farrar is deformed ...with a speech impediment and facial tic ..(typical Tory)
