WOMAN ABUSES YOUNGSTER
Marieke Hardy encounters flag-bearing youths at an outdoor concert:
Boy oh boy, the amount of idiotic sunburned children draping themselves in flags with no real reason as to why they were making such a provocative statement.
Note: they weren’t burning flags. They were merely wearing them. This, to the Left, is “provocative”.
I grew increasingly cross, even without alcohol coursing through my veins and turning me into the kind of screeching harpy best left alone in the corner of a pub dry-humping the pinball machine.
Me: Nice flag, fuckhead.
Moron child: Whatever.
Me: Why are you even wearing that? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?
Moron child: Aussie pride, man.
Me: Go and die.
Traceeee Hutchison should address this matter of flag rage in her next column.
UPDATE. Tolerant Marieke, who wishes young flag-wearers would “go and die”, regularly appears in the Age and on the ABC.
UPDATE II. Nic wonders how Marieke would react to similar abuse of someone wearing an Aboriginal flag. Consider, too, how she’d judge a clothing-related exchange beginning with the line: “Nice burka, fuckhead”.
Unless I am sadly mistaken Marieke Hardy’s claim to fame is that she wrote some appalling crap for television, that prompty sank without trace.
I am so interested in her opinion on the displaying of the national flag.

The men, last seen running along Military Road, are described as being of white/European appearance and aged between 20 and 25 years.
SMH LinkWhoever raised the flag bearing child instilled a wonderful sense of restraint and civility in them. Kudos to child and parents.
Personally I would have smashed the fucking bint in the mouth until her fucking arse bled.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 01 30 at 10:14 PM • permalinkWearing Australian flags on Australia day is a provocative statement? Does she also make sure she tears down christmas decorations on 25 December?
Given her capacity for outrage and inclination to assault children (and swearing at someone like that can come under assault laws) over such trivial issues she seems like the sort of person her family would even avoid.
More flag stuff.
The Daily Tele reports:-BOXER Anthony Mundine’s first music video shows the burning of a photo of Prime Minister John Howard and the Union Jack.
The openly political video for Mundine’s hip-hop single Platinum Ryder, filmed at The Block in Redfern, shows indigenous residents tearing up Mr Howard’s photograph and tossing it into a barrel of flames.
Pity it’s not closer to the election - Howard would romp in by his biggest margin ever because of this crap! Everybody I know reckon Mundine is a moron - if he hates Howard it’s got to be worth shit load of votes for the Libs. Go Anthony…..
How the coversation actually went…
Me: Nice face, fuckhead.
Moron writer: Whatever.

Posted by Whale Spinor on 2007 01 30 at 10:44 PM • permalinkThis was Ms Hardy only a fortnight ago, relishing the notion of [i]watching a small child ram face-first into a traffic light
All round, Marieka is the archetypal The Age columnist. Note The Age has sacked Gerard Henderson and retains Ms Hardy.
I may claim to have class, but occasionally when far-fetched reality TV comes knocking, I will more than happily set aside my morals and get dirty with the best of them. It’s (Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty) mildly and guiltily entertaining in the same way that watching a small child ram face-first into a traffic light can be, and not to be sniffed at for its all-consuming grubbiness.
child hateInteresting how the whole flag ban was about not provoking any incidents that would “mar the event”. And here’s this female knobhead trying to do exactly that - provoke something. She doesn’t tell us what happens after she tells them to “Go and die!”. Presumably, the flagbearer shrugged their shoulders and walked off, provocation attempt duly ignored.
That is, assuming this conversation even happened, and wasn’t purely the product of an imagination that thinks that being BOB ELLIS(!!) is something to be desired. IOW, is Marieke making it all up as she goes along?

She said something about giving somebody a “grandmotherly smile”; maybe she is elderly, but I’m thinking big bad wolf. Her screeds read like a Paris Hilton diary entry scrawled under the influence of crystal meth. A genuinely pedestrian intelligence unredeemed by wit or charm or imagination. My guess? She’ll be dead by her own hand or institutionalized in less than five years unless she gets help now.

Funny how ‘hate crime’ ‘vilification’‘intollerance’ and those other lefty words du jour only apply to others.
Just a note for the curious; she says on her site that she’s thirty years old. Just more evidence that stupidity doesn’t fade as you get older.
Posted by Mr Snuffalupagus on 2007 01 30 at 11:18 PM • permalinkMs Hardy, Traceee, Oliver James, Pilger, Greer, The Age, the Greenies who want to turn off the lights in Sydney for one hour, The Sorryists from La Trobe etc etc.
There is one thing that unites all these dreary people - a hatred of success, and an even greater hatred of those who aspire to success. Not just material success (money) but success in all its guises - happiness, contentment, emotional balance, military success, power.
They call themselves (as do we) ‘of the Left’ but they are an insult to the memories of the pioneers of the genuine Left, such as Orwell and Nye Bevan - people who dedicated their lives to improving the lot of the working class.
The real Left doesn’t align itself with fascists, with homophobes, with misogynists. The real Left is not anti-semitic nor is it intolerant of difference. It doesn’t demand perpetual misery.
These people are not Leftists as they love to call themselves. They are miserablists, snobs, patronising middle class bigots. They are dedicated to dragging everyone else down to their rock-bottom level.
They romanticise failure, without questioning the circumstances of that failure. They are not interested in turning failure into success, only in perpetuating failure and misery.
I despise them and everything their world stands for.
There - that feels better.

What a proud family lineage that one is - from a communist retard to an aggressive arsehole that starts shit with strangers because they are carrying the flag.
Nothing ages as badly as youthful cynicism. And I discover, courtesy of some of her statements in the specific post referenced by Albury Shifton up there at #38, that she is further support for a theory I have long held, to wit: scratch a cynic and you’ll find a disappointed romantic.
With respect to the Age, it seems that a kind of Gresham’s Law is operating at the newspaper.
Actually, the post I linked to in #38 and the fact that she wants to be BOB ELLIS(!!), has conjured up a rather disturbing mental image. Picture this:
Two RWDBs are sitting in a restaurant and notice a lonely old man muttering to himself over his seared scallops and chardonnay.
RWDB 1: Hey, isn’t that that areshole, Bob Ellis?
RWDB 2: Yeah, sad old fart! He doesn’t look in good fettle. What say we pay his bill - I doubt an old bloke who writes like he does has much to live on.
RWDB 1: Yeah, I must admit, he moves me more to pity than anger. Let’s do it!
Next day in Bob Ellis’ column: RWDB1 and RWDB2 - whoever the hell you are - I am truly humbled and warmed by the gesture. If only you’d stayed long enough for me to pick myself up off the floor and stick an inappropriate tongue in your ear. Utterly, utterly wonderful, thank you.
For some reason, I’ve now got an extreme case of “the shudders”!Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 01 31 at 12:07 AM • permalink#37
That’s the left as it actually exists, not as some would like to think of it. Whatever ideals might once have animated some on the left, today they can only be converted into reality by the action of people on the right, such as the dreaded Neo-cons.The chief distinctions between the Communists, Nazis, and Fascists were not much more than which excuses they used for mass murder. I doubt that it came as much of a comfort to a shopkeeper in Lviv that the Commies killed him for being an exploiter of the proletariat (he employed three clerks) rather than, as with the Nazis, for being Jewish.
Today the left as it actually exists exalts bloodthirsty tyrants and supports renewed genocide of the Jews through the destruction of Israel. It’s environmentalism and anti-globalization advocacy promises untold hardships and impoverishment to billions of people. Yet these leftists are the people who claim to have superior compassion to we nasty RWDBs, who advocate policies that oppose tyranny and genocide and encourage wealth creation and increased prosperity around the world. You can see why we RWDBs are held in such horror by these oh so fine souls.

#19 paco,
Marieke Hardy is a young 30 or so writer recently employed by The Age to write a TV column for its TV and tech supplement the Green Guide.
Her grandfather Frank Hardy (of Power Without Glory fame) was a Communist and left-wing writer, journo etc. See wikipedia for lots more.
Marieke is usually quite entertaining on the topic of TV but you have to ration yourself what with the self-congratulatory tone and all - a fitiing successor to Bob Ellis but she’ll have to develop the lugubrious sodden ego by the age of 50.Posted by carpefraise on 2007 01 31 at 02:40 AM • permalink#37…pommygranate, you may call these people against success but each one of them is making a fair bit of dosh plying their trade and talking about their trade.

Oh, no! I never really could get the hang of this RWDB thing. I’m a sweetheart of a guy, really! I just worry about Bob Ellis a lot…

sorry about this, but I thought you were female.
I thought my beard was a dead giveaway. I must remember to spit, and scratch my groin area more…
In fact, one RWDB once told me, that with a beard like mine, I should apply for a research grant!

Add this to the “Sound of Marieke” libretto:
Soundbites and dead sh’ites and wild indiscretions,
Flag-burning, stomach-churning killings by Chechns,
Terrorist tentacle porn, pollies on strings,
These are a few of my favourite things!When Arafat dies, when the Oz flag flies,
Then I’m feeling sad,
But I simply remember that Castro is back,
And then I don’t feel – so bad!Seems the Wiki-Nazis have rooned our fun, people.

Wearing several eggs on his face he gamely attempted to conceal his chagrin at the finding against ex Atsic leader Jeff Clark -that being he was responsible for leading two pack rapes thirty years ago.
Kezza has long elevated Clark to statesman status and mulishly defended his honour against all criticism.

I’m intrigued Ms Fits,
What exactly would you do if I,
1. Made tuna and artichoke sushi for you in a very public place. (points 3 and 5)
2. Plied you with alcohol from the bar across the road.
3. Serenaded you with a decent mix tape (made by someone else cos i aint got no musical talent).
4. And had the whole shin-dig charged to Andrew Bolt’s credit card. (point 1).What would you do?

Ms Fits,
You can take it as a friday question or answer it now. You could even ignore it altogether.
It’s your blog, you make the rules. I’m just a humble traveller with the day off.
Poor lil Dear ...And at the end of all that, when Ms Fits says “Yes, oh yes! Take me, I’m yours!”, Brokenleg turns out to be married! Although, from what we’ve seen of Marieke on her blog, the mere detail of marriage may not be a deal killer…
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 01 31 at 08:04 AM • permalinkLook at the bright side. Whenever that kid and all his friends think of turning left to spite their parents in a fit of adolescent rebellion, they’ll remember Marieke’s smiling face.

She’s hot…if you’re into well-used, nihilistic, thirty year old airheads.
Posted by Dave Surls on 2007 01 31 at 08:51 AM • permalinkWhile it’s plainly obvious MasterCard Marxist Marieke finds the Australian flag revolting, something tells me we could find a photo somewhere of her wearing a kaffiyeh.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 01 31 at 01:45 PM • permalinkI’ve only skimmed the thread, but…did anyone else get the feeling that Marieke made up that entire conversation? Don’t get me wrong, I’m certain she’d love to have said it, but somehow I doubt she’d have the guts to actually say it out loud while surrounded by those oh-so-dangerous flag-wearing provocateurs.
Paco #61:
“scratch a cynic and you’ll find a disappointed romantic”
My mother says I was born a Cynic. A true Cynic is merely someone who sees reality as it is, not as he might wish it to be. It works for me because people are hardly ever as bad as I expect them to be (Ms Hardy may be an exception, as is John F’n Heinz).
Ms Hardy is not a Cynic, she’s a pure, frustrated True Believer (TM). Her angst, anger, even apparent hatred stem from her preferred ‘reality’ banging up against the real thing.
And I wouldn’t do her with my worst enemy’s diseased member.

Yeah, it’s been discussed earlier in this rather dauntingly large thread. It’s most likely fiction, especially given that she’s a fiction writer. And she’s a childrens’ writer.
BTW, I found another lost Enid Blyton manuscript; Noddy this time.
Noddy: Nice hat, Fuckhead!
Big Ears: That’s “Big Ears”
Noddy: Oh, sorry! I keep forgetting.
Miss Pink Cat: Noddy, I need you to drive me to the Toytown Train Station. How much do you charge for your taxi service?
Noddy: Sixpence. And your tongue in my ear.
Miss Pink Cat: I never put my tongue in the ear of anyone on a first taxi ride. Well, there WAS that time with Mr Sparks, the mechanic… But he WAS playing a rather sexy CD on his car stereo at the time!
Mr Plod: Move along Noddy. This is a “No Parking” zone
Noddy: Nice uniform, Fascist!
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 01 31 at 04:32 PM • permalinkI agree with Jorg at #190…cynics don’t get frustrated about the lack of agreement between reality and their desired state of the world, they just stoically accept it as given and crack wise about it. Marieke Hardy merely lashes out angrily.
BTW, somebody as devoid of wit as her writing TV comedies (well, trying to, anyway) is exactly the kind of thing that could serve to distinguish true cynicism from frustrated anger. Just try to imagine Marieke’s reaction if a writer under discussion was just as untalented as her but of a right-wing bent.
Bolding causes warmening.
Be careful, people. Mother Gaia and the rest of humanity is depending on you.

The House of Paco produces only the finest Presidentially Approved Consumer Ornaments.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 01 31 at 05:13 PM • permalink#190: A true Cynic is merely someone who sees reality as it is, not as he might wish it to be. I believe that definition is more applicable to a skeptic, or simply a realist; too many people who pass themselves off as cynics really do maintain a squishy place in the heart for what is (usually) some notion drenched with the most maudlin sentimentality. But I see your point, and agree with it. Marieke is a fake cynic.
#189: Er, heh. Of course they’re real, Dminor. Just like unicorns. You see, what I’m sayin’ is that she really did talk that way to a kid (I know, that’s inconsistent with the rest of my comment, but you know what they say about a foolish consistency being the Margo of small minds . . .)
I knew I’d seen that mug somewhere before! Marieke is no virgin when it comes to the tender touch of the Blairites.
A pity Darryl and his assorted brothers Darryl shat all over the thread.
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 01 31 at 06:11 PM • permalinkGood Lord, the woman’s insatiable!
A week or so ago I took myself to dinner at Mario’s in Brunswick Street, accompanied by Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5. At a table nearby, a handsome young man sat poring over a novel of his own. He was oblivious to those around him, chewing on his fingernails, utterly immersed.
I fell in love with him instantly. So it goes.
Later, as her search for love intensifies:
The night itself is slow, earthy, alive. We are in a private room at the library and there are candles lit and peanut clusters of friends whispering nervy excitements. I wait to lock eyes with a gentleman clutching a matching copy of John Kennedy Toole’s masterpiece, leading to a slow-motion balletic run across the room and an intense but discreet tongue-kissing session behind a shelf of modern feminist poetry. This, needless to say, does not instantly eventuate.
So, she’ll put out for a total stranger who reads stuff she approves of, yet she’ll question her friendship with you, if you even have friends who vote Liberal. Is “shallow” too harsh an adjective for our friend Marieke?
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 01 31 at 06:33 PM • permalinkShe’s about as deep as an Australian capital city water storage facility; ever wonder why Australian made television is so shit? There’s your answer, in all her faux rebel, vacuous, self-absorbed, pompous, bourgeois bolshevik glory.
She represents just about everything I hate about Australias self-appointed elite.
I recall Frank Hardy, not long before he died, complaining that ASIO had him under surveillance back in the 1950s. Think it was in the Geraldine Doogue series on the ABC about heroes of the left in Australia.
Hardy was more or less saying “look at me, a frail old man, what threat was I too Australia.” Of course, in the 1950s he was working towards establishing a Stalinist state in Australia. His admiration for Stalin was public and he visited the Soviet Union several times. Typically, he didn’t enlist to fight in WW2 until Hitler attacked Stalin, preferring the communist line at any friend of Stalin was a friend of them. When the truth about Stalin was revealed - and was exactly as the Americans and Menzies said - he lightly dismissed it as inconsequential.
So Marieke has the genetic disposition to promote lost causes - including herself.
Well, she fits 90% of this definition. Good enough for me.
Well, what do you know! I found a rough draught of Tolkien’s.
Galadriel: Nice ring, fuckhead.
Sauron: Whatever.
Galadriel: Why are you even wearing that? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?
Sauron: Mordor pride, man.
Galadriel: Go and die.

Yeah, we noticed. The guy has almost as many pseudonyms as that chick, er Whatshername? ...Marieke…Ms Fits…Diana Elgar(suspected), etc.
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 02 01 at 01:34 AM • permalinkMeanwhile, back at her blog, Ms Fits comes clean:
1. I certainly engaged with flag-wearers during the BDO, and the language occasionally grew ‘colourful’. But this blog is a precis of emotional points rather than a word-for-word recollection of actual events. If people can’t figure that out they are morons.
Quelle surprise.
2. I call people in their mid-twenties children as I am aged and worldly.So the suspicions of many here were correct. The whole incident was about “truthiness”, not truth, as we in the boring “Andrew Bolt” world, where people actually pay attention to words as written, and not the emotions purported to be behind them, would understand it.
And I’m starting to write Classical Greek style sentences again…
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 02 01 at 02:14 AM • permalinkMy guess is we do not have the entire story.
Perhaps it went something like this:I have always privately enjoyed the young lads attending the Big Day Out in matching uniforms and watched them parade past with a kind of grandmotherly chuckle and a mild ‘aren’t they sweet’ murmur.
It’s odd being thirty years old and suddenly feeling like a foolish teenager.I wanted to hang out with racy Gracie but assumed that people were staring at us and pitying our sartorial choices. Eventually she bunked off home with her feller and I was free to roam the festival looking ridiculous on my own. Good times.I ended up at the local pub.
There I was in the corner, dry-humping the pinball machine and in walked a rather tasty young lad draped in a fetching Australian flag ensemble.
“So what do you do?” I asked eventually, trying to surreptitiously look up his pants.
“If you buy me a drink, I’ll stick my tongue in your ear”, I ventured.“Aren’t you a bit old for this stuff?”, he asked.
I grew increasingly cross, even without alcohol coursing through my veins and turning me into the kind of screeching harpy best left alone in the corner of a pub dry-humping the pinball machine.
Me: Nice flag, fuckhead.
Moron child: Whatever.
Me: Why are you even wearing that? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?
Moron child: Aussie pride, man.
Me: Go and die.

Unlike the Ms Fits version, yours sounds entirely plausible.
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2007 02 01 at 04:47 AM • permalinkMastercard Marxist? I have been using the term “credit card bohemian” for nearly 10 years… is there a breach of patent here?
This cretin is responsible for “short cuts” and “last man standing”?
now everything is explained…
Shortcuts was full of bitter and twisted teenage characters - who seemed to come to the defence of their useless media teacher who taught them nothing and let them do as they pleased. No flag bearing here…Last man standing was one of the most overhyped pieces of garbage, that if I recall correctly, the SMH and Age were madly promoting? Cancelled before most the episodes could be aired. The stub in Wikipedia blames a general down turn in viewers for local content for it’s demise.. HA!
ugh, that was an awful trip down memory lane.
