Lefty Kim isn’t one to complain much over Islamic girl-cutting (“It would seem to me counterproductive to have loud denunciations of it”) but she sure speaks up when criticised by Age writer Julie Szego:
Szego seems to show a very dubious grasp of how blogs work. At least, that’s a charitable interpretation of the reasons why she might have chosen to pull one quote from me out of context from the middle of a debate …
Kim is complaining about being unfairly cut. How … perfect.
Szego seems to show a very dubious grasp of how blogs work
Yes Kim, according to your definition, a blog is where you say stupid things about stuff that you don’t understand.

Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 06 13 at 01:33 AM • permalinkMind you though, to be soundly mocked in the Age AND have Tim Blair listed as a reasonable critic must be the mother of all arse-whippings to a lefty.
Kim’s whining at Lav Paper and that of the ‘dags’ that hang around there is great comedy. One wants editorial action taken. Haven’t they read Traceeee or Devenny?
Fair go, Tim, give the girl a break!
After all, FGM is a subject best thrown in the too-hard basket because one would have to be rational and reasonable and perhaps - just perhaps - question “traditional” (ie, anything non-Western) and Islamic practices.
According to Kim and her friend Helen, FGM has been harnessed for essentially political purposes by “conservatives” who have discovered it as a handy wedge.
I’ve worked in several developing countries and I’d genuinely like to know just how many Kims and her ilk are out there in the field. I could count on the fingers of one hand the number I met in my 22 years out there.
The Australian Left’s response to the slightest hint of criticism or questioning is always so immediate that they must be Googling themselves several times a day. Even though they claim they’ve been silenced.
“This is a truly disgusting attempt to use genuine suffering to try and score off your perceived enemies…”
Am I supposed to really be some leftist’s wet dream parody of a slavering RWDB cheering on the mutilators, because they hold the patent on compassion?
Is my visceral hatred of such a barbaric practice really just an opportunistic wedge tactic?
Or could it be those people have to be diametrically opposed to any conservative, because that is the sole philosophy behind their beliefs?You’d think a total twat like Lefty Kim would be opposed to female genital mutilation.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 06 13 at 02:12 AM • permalinkCharitable Kimmeh does not explain how a failure to understand blogs would lead to the content in Szego’s article - most likely because it makes no sense. She is scrambling to find some higher ground, so says that the misunderstanding must be because of the medium.
All of this from someone who was taken aback by the interactivity of the medium, and as a result, is the equivalent of roadkill on the blogosphere superhighway.

The latest Blair thread basically gives up the pretence that this “denunciation” is about FGM, as his commenters seize the opportunity to call me a “twat” and bag “lefties”. Etc.

this dumb twater.. Kimmy is the victim of SQS (Selective Quote Snipping).
SQS is an abhorrent practice, and I am very sorry that it was inflicted on Kimmy. But rather than preaching about allegedly universal values and some sort of right that “we” have to intervene and perhaps more importantly for the ideological obsessives, only to do so in such a way as will satisfy our own preconceptions, it might be worthwhile reflecting on the actual realities on the ground in countries where such practices occur and the methods activists are using to counter these cultural practices.twwweeet,right infidel,red card for you,you used the word TWAT,off the blog…......................GIVE ME A BREAK YOU STUPID COW,FUCK ME DON’T STEP OUT THE FRONT DOOR INTO THE REAL WORLD YOU DUMB ARSE ,I MEAN SHIT PEOPLE USE THE WORD ARSE ,SOMETIMES THEY SAY FUCK AND BITCH,YOU POOR THING YOU WERE CALLED A TWAT OH THE HUMANITY,DEAR ME HERE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT POOR IRAQI GIRL IN THE TELEGRAPH TODAY THAT WAS RAPED AND STRANGLED THEN STUFFED INTO A SUITCASE AND BURIED IN THE BACK YARD ALL BECAUSE SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE WRONG MAN,SHE IS OVER ONE HUNDRED GIRLS KILLED IN ENGLAND IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, BUT SHIT YOU WERE CALLED A TWAT IN ONE COMMENT ON A BLOG..THE HORROR..THE HORROR…...rant over
P.s Kim you are a twat,deal with it..Silly lurking lefty bitch - we RWDBs are capable of multitasking, which means we’re able to denounce the brutal mutilation of children, mock vacuous leftists, and call you a vacuous twat all at the same time!

Posted by Blue State Sil on 2007 06 13 at 04:18 AM • permalinkOh sparrow, you are being racist.
Respect cultural differences.
Girls like Banaz Mahmod obviously have it coming.I’m rather to see the times I now live in. You see, there was a time that I believed that, even though I couldn’t see eye to eye with the left, that when the balloon went up, we’d still be shoulder to shoulder against our common enemis. I mean, they don’t like God, so they’ll surely stand up to Islam. They stand for womens’ rights, so surely, they’ll abhore honour killings and FGM. They were so choked up by the killing of the Kurds by Saddam, that surely, when the time comes, they’ll be dancing on Saddam’s grave. They so believe in the inalienable rights of the artist that they’d never betray Salman Rushdie or his spiritual descendants, surely.
But I’m, older now, and the left has been shown in its true colours, and I’m wiser, if somewhat sadder.
Kim, you might not like being called names, but there is a worse thing that can be said about you - that I trusted you, and you let me down.
Get over yourself and start championing the left’s onetime heroes again: the downtrodden, over those doing the downtreading.

Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2007 06 13 at 06:36 AM • permalinkSo Kim feels that its wrong for FGM to be used for political purposes. I’m not sure I understand her argument - is she saying that its wrong for us to show the excesses of our enemies? Wrong to take examples and say ‘this is wrong, we must oppose it’?
We all know what she should have said then, and should say now. She should not hide behind a convenient acronym that reduces its impact. She should say ‘female genital mutilation is always wrong, and I oppose it always’.
Wow. Reading through Kimmy’s latest justifications, it’s clear she’s as tenacious as a pit bull. And nearly as intelligent. She won’t budge one iota from her original position, she merely states that we didn’t read or were unable to comprehend what she’d written. Kimmy, since you’re lurking here I’ve got some news for you sweet cheeks. We did read and comprehend, which is exactly why you find yourself in the center of this shit storm. By claiming that dialogue and training are the solutions to genital hacking and denying this is yet another barbaric result of Islam, you’re only fooling yourself and your followers. And adding that bit that Christians and Jews do it too is a gold mine of stupid. You weren’t serious with that, right? You can continue to hide your insecurities behind your high-minded prose, but the scared little girl is still showing. The problem is not a cultural misunderstanding, the problem is Islam and you know it as well as we do. You are wrong on this one, plain and simple. And the Blair Trogs aren’t about to let you get away with it unscathed. Stop being such a twat and admit it, or prepare your stubborn self for the floggings to continue.
I agree with Kim. Loud denunciations aren’t the way to go. People who force this ugly practice on young women should be arrested and made subject to civil and criminal penalties, including lengthy jail terms. Deportation should be an option.
What? What’s that, you say? I’ve taken Kim out of context? I’m sorry, let me go back and read her entire article. Goes away and comes back. Oh, I see. She doesn’t propose punitive action against mutilators; she just wants to “convince” them that they’re wrong. A friendly chat over a cup of tea, perhaps. Take them aside and point out to them, in the politest, most non-judgmental way, that mutilating women is considered a bit outré in the West, rather like saying grace out loud in a restaurant - you know, not quite the thing; maybe quote the old saw about “When in Rome”, etc. “There’s a good fellow, Suleiman. Now run along and play nice.”
My apologies, Kim. Didn’t mean to take you out of context. Silly twat.
O/T A liberal institutional icon is closing its doors. It’s not too hard to understand when prospective employers see Antioch College as the following:
Antioch isn’t a traditional liberal arts college: It doesn’t grade classes, encourages students to experiment and develop their own study plans, and combines academic learning with real-world experience through a co-op program in which students leave campus to work.
And then there’s this:
The college drew national attention in 1993 with its “Sexual Offense Prevention Policy” that required students to ask permission from one another if they wanted to have sexual contact, including holding hands or kissing. The policy was ridiculed in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch for its strictness.
This is an example of how economics and survival of the fittest should work in the sphere of higher education. Let’s hope this spreads to the state universities as well.

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 06 13 at 09:36 AM • permalink#40, wronwright, Oh frabjous joy! I dealt with many Antioch graduates during my days in the Graduate School. Imagine having a certain standard for admission and transfer of credits which is delineated by grades (high grades good, low grades bad). Imagine having to deal with airy-fairy social progressives who were never given a grade, because that would be, like, so judgmental and harmful to their self-esteem (and also imagine that all these progressives are, by this time, in their twenties and thirties). It was surreal, but improved in time, after we convinced the Antioch registrar (or head seer, or shaman, or whatever) to put a boilerplate narrative on the back of the transcript that said no credit was given for any particular course unless the work was above an acceptable grade level.
Antioch students were always drifty, dreamy types when they weren’t outright obnoxious Marxists. I say, let them go to school in California and good riddance.
Haw, haw. She’s snipping from my comment here and posting it at the larva tusp rodeo…
Kimmy seems to show a very dubious grasp of how blogs work. At least, that’s a charitable interpretation of the reasons why she might have chosen to pull one quote from me out of context from the middle of a debate …

Posted by wronwright on 2007 06 13 at 09:52 AM • permalinkOh, and Kimmy, when citing horse-shit statistics, please include sources. Not that I don’t trust you or anything, it’s just… you know. Nice issue dodging BTW. But sorry, it’s still that scary Islam thing. Scary enough to cause a self-proclaimed feminist to defend it out of sheer terror. I suppose you’re right, best play it safe, not too many Christians or Jew loping off heads (or clitorises for that matter) these days. Just continue with that line of reasoning. That’s a good and safe girl.
Twat.Rebecca,
I went to a very liberal college for my ungraduate studies. But it seems like The Citadel in comparison to Antioch. Ultra liberal and not exactly welcoming to male students. Indeed, I found this on Wikepedia:
In its September 2000 issue the periodical Men’s Health named Antioch as one of the 10 most antimale schools in America. The magazine cited Antioch’s sex code, opposition to Fraternities, and a Spring 2000 commencement where speakers included a “cop-killer” & a “transgender warrior.”
Ironically, it’s located just a few miles south of Clark County, the target of The Guardian’s letter writing debacle.
Posted by wronwright on 2007 06 13 at 10:10 AM • permalinkOops, took her at her word too soon. No surprise there. Kimmy, you’ve provided sources for religious demographics, but tacked on your own mutilation guess-timations. Come on!!! 90% of the girls in Burkina Faso have had their genitals butchered??? BULLSHIT!
If you’re just going to make this crap up, at least avoid Lancet math, will ya?Well, I do declare, Kim…bless yo’ li’l heart - you don’t do stupid well. We all saw that with what you wrote about female genital mutilation. You now have to exhibit petulance and bald-face, sniveling cowardice. That’s just TACKY, darlin’.

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that there are large numbers of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Animists, Druids, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, Maoists - name your group - who, on a global basis, practice this despicable act. Do any appreciable numbers of this lot practice female genital mutilation in Australia? Shouldn’t this be, from Kim’s point of view, the main issue, i.e., elimination of the practice in Australia - where Kim and other writers arguably have more influence than in Burkina Fasso or the Seychelles or Albania or some other location in Ultima Thule - regardless of whether it is a cultural aspect or a religious aspect? Should the difficulty of eliminating the practice everywhere stop one from vigorously protesting it at home?
Hey, worry not, Jesse! A lot of us were. Hell, I voted for Bubba (aka Bill Clinton). Twice.

I think a lot of people here used to be. But as the saying goes, it doesn’t matter where you started, it only matters where you end up. I never went through the phase, myself; probably because all the leftists I knew personally in my youth were so thoroughly obnoxious for completely non-political reasons that I didn’t want to have anything to do with them OR their ideas.
I voted for Bubba (aka Bill Clinton). Twice. That’s not something you usually admit to in public is it Jeff?
Paco, I reckon Ash would have gone through it too, if peple in her class hadn’t cheered the idea that a member of Parliament might have had died. I reckon the mere cheer pissed her off beyond belief. Ash might dislike some people, but she prefers people to argue on merit, not on political alliance.
That’s not something you usually admit to in public is it Jeff?
I’ve done so several times. I’m told that it’s like going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, something like:

P.S - My fruit cooking fatwa excludes desserts, pies, jams, preserves and anything which subsequently becomes alcoholic.

Attendance at B&S Balls and being a devotee of the Sheik of Scrubby Creek has saved you from the abyss. Now gently walk backwards from the edge my good man.
Whilst on one of my favourite subjects, darrinhV2 where’s my dinner jacket from Cowra 1987 ? I’m right onto you. Mate. Notwithstanding that it was your firsty and you’ve had it hanging, soiled (a la Monica Lewinski) in your wardrobe for 20 years. I want it back.
ah well, you see, there was this girl and you know, as far as I know, it’s still probably at her place.
ahhhhh, but what a night, I swear by the end there was a least two inches of beer on the floor by the end of the night, lots of people were still dancing, even after the music had stopped and all the women had indescribably attractive.
There was also this bloke dancing with a girl up against the side of the beer truck outside, dunno what was going on there…...
Cooked fruit is truly an abomination- to which I would add gourmet pizza; a pizza should have nitrate-riddled, carcinogenic pig parts, maybe some vegetation of Italian origin, herbs, tomato paste and bunghole.
Tnadoori chicken (or chicken of any kind for that matter), pie and peas and yiros-style lamb with hommus and feta belong in establishments that specialise in such fare, not atop a doughy blob with the consitency of one of Phillip Adams buttocks.
And anyone who uses pineapple for anything other than pina coladas and rectal insertion in obdurate marxists should be set on fire.

::Sob:: Habib, don’t hate me.
I made gourmet pizzas last Sunday - chicken, basil and tomato pesto, asparagus, marinated tomato, capsicum and mushrooms, fine mozarella cheese.
And ::bursting into uncontrolled tears:: a nicely chilled glass of chardonnay.

Confession time:
*stands
“In my first year of university, I was cajoled into going to National Party headquarters and grabbing a Young National Party member enrolment form. I made it out after promising I wasn’t a Young Labor stooge, although I did burst out laughing outside the door upon leaving at the cliched people who ran that office - picture a CWA scone and tea get together with 1950’s hairdos and dress, in Brisbane, in the 90’s. All labor party members are communists and will never get my vote.”
Now where’s my medication?

“Gourmet” pies are another sin- a flytrap should contain minced up unpleasant bits of cows and sheep, and black sauce. Blue peas that have had every nutrient boiled out of them should be the only accoutrement. A Thai chicken pie is pastrycide, and the maker should be fed to wild dogs.
Barbeque sauce on a pizza should result in the maker being stuffed into the pizza oven.
See, it’s this sort of intransigence that is dividing the peaceful Sunni and Shia. I love BBQ sauce on pizza. Particularly when accompanied by swine, fowl, jumbuck and bullock. Preferably all at once.
Speaking of abominations - take a gander at this gastrotravisty. Fusion food is for poonces.

Posted by Blue State Sil on 2007 06 14 at 01:51 AM • permalinkYou’re fucking shitting us Habib. If you’ve really done all those things you should turn yourself into the authorities immediately.
I’ve got that Billy Bragg record where he sings the Internationale and the Red Flag. Ironically, or is that predictably, it was released in Australia by Liberation Records, a division of Michael Gudinski’s Mushroom Records, which is a bit like Standard Oil publishing Vladimir Lenin.
I’ve never been a member of an organised political party or the New South Wales Liberals.
#149- I don’t see the point of them, as I can usually pick a cooked one up with a voucher for a fiver, or have some walking carbuncle deliver it to my door for a tenner when I’m too bladdered to drive. Costs about the same for a frozen one, and I’ve got to be arsed cooking it. I do make my own from time to time, even make the dough (I used to work in a pizza bar when I was at school). Cold donuts coated with irridescent congealed sugar are definately haram, and anyone responsible for their production should be used for altitude sickness experiments.
#146 - The pineapple is totally haram. Beetroot, however, is as halal as a well tethered goat.
Remember, you can beat an egg, but you can’t beat a root.

BTW- another shameful episode from my past- while at university I used to work some nightshifts at the Arnotts factory at Milton- Friday night was ginger nut night, when all the leftover dough from all the wekks other runs was gathered up out of the chiller, any obvious mould and fungus removed then chucked into a bloody great mixer with a load of ginger powder and food colouring. I’ve never eaten one of the bastards since. Iced VoVos are also extremely haram.
#158 - I’m starting to understand what is stalling the Middle East peace process. The Ginger Nut is the best biscuit by a country mile. Name one other biscuit that can take a dunking and come back not just for more, but begging you to test its resolve.
I understand the Tim Tam is held in some regard around these parts, but I have always considered it slightly effeminate or for special occasions only.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 06 14 at 02:25 AM • permalink#158,
Habib,proccessed cheddar is made the same way.
We cut the mould off the leftover cheese, it’s chucked into huge pots, melted down and extra salt and yellow colouring, plus god knows what other chemicals stirred in. When it’s cool enough, it’s poured onto steel plates, sent through a sheeter to get the correct thickness, then sliced and packed etc.
Disgusting stuff.
ps Redheads do have Ginger Nuts.
AAAhhh memories!!!
I once watched The Whitlams (The band not the former PM and his husband) perform at the uni tavern. I didn’t enjoy it and instead got totally wankered. It’s as close to a leftist moment I’ve ever had. Although I once sent away for a WWF application pack to sponsor a bear being used for its bile. Turns out you didn’t get the bile, they wanted to free the bears. My boo boo.

Well, it’s been a while since anyone posted, so I guess it is safe for me to stand and deliver:
My name is saltydog. I am an individualist saltydog now and have always been a individualist saltydog—which got me in all kinds of trouble with teachers and other authority figures. I have always hated statists and collectivists of all shapes, sizes, and colors. My biggest sins involve brandy and cigars, which I indulge in frequently, but not on any kind of Churchillian level. All of this must make me a terrible bore, but I enjoy my company. And brandy and cigars. Did I mention the brandy and cigars?
Oh, and Kimmie-girl is a twat.

*clears throat*
I was an anthropology student. Then I graduated. And got married. And began to realize…well, a lot of things. Like maybe my parents were right. Very right. Especially my Dad. But I tend to think that all Liberals who came home to Conservativism have had that conservativism lurking in their somewhere…there were just so many other things out there to distract.
But truth be told, Im not sure I was even really a liberal. Just…uninformed and so new information felt like revelation to me, until I began to examine it. And now my mother accuses me of being more conservative RWDB than my father!
Anyway, Ash_ : welcome home.

Imperial KeeperPosted by Elizabeth Imperial Keeper on 2007 06 14 at 09:45 AM • permalinkI was born a RWDB, probably because my older brother was a dipstick hippy and I grew up hating them. My folks (being Depression kids) we’re Dem right up to Mr Peanut. My Dad was even invited to his inauguration, framed it and proudly displayed it in the living room. We all voted for Ronnie the 2nd time around (my very first vote!). When my Dad received an invitation to Reagan’s inauguration, he covered Mr. Peanut’s with it. I inherited both of them.
I have always been led to believe that voting Democrat in Texas was a hanging offence.
Pogria, there was a time in the not so distant past, that the former Confederate States of the American South were all uniformly Democrat, and Republicans were roundly hated for the treacherous carpetbagging Yankee scum they were. Times change, and parties flip-flop.
#235 Pogria, RebeccaH is right on the money. Dixie was nearly unanimous in its support of the Dems right up the Carter Administration. After that, things went south (so to speak) for them. My grandfather used to get so pissed off, because my grandmother (a staunch FDR gal) refused to consider changing parties and would merely cancel out his vote. She refused to even consider the fact that the Dems embraced everything she stood against. That was the kind of loyalty her generation had. She voted Dem until the day she died, if for nothing else but out of gratitude to FDR.
Oh, you have made no mistake Pogria. Texas IS special. Why, in Texas schools the children are taught the true geography of North America, which is predominately Texas and her territories. Texas is so superior to any other state, that those blessed enough to share a border are 43% better off than the others. If Texas ever decided to end its charitable mood of supporting the other 49, all you’d have left is Texas and its surrounding wasteland. We’ve got so many people, that if every Texas faced east and farted, California would be another Hawaiian Island. The ugliest Texas woman makes Adriana Lima green with envy. I could go on (and on), but my enormous Texas modesty prevents me from boasting (of which I have every right to do so)(and probably should).
#212 As in Richmond/Rosenberg - Fort Bend County?...all those rice fields plowed under now…Ive heard all about that kraut beer - courtesy of a Hill Country German I dated in college.
ROFL!!! Pogria!! I cant believe…
...well actually it *does* look like I was flirting…MRS TEXAS BOB I DIDNT MEAN IT THAT WAY, I PROMISE!! I’m a One Man Woman myself…and (no offense, Tx Bob) he isn’t your husband!!
See…it was because I hadn’t updated my user profile in a while and I was a little tired of seeing ‘S Ferguson.’
No, that doesnt work, does it?
*embarrassed*
But Pogria, its a good thing that I decided to step away from the computer and kiss my hubby as he left for work this morning and then succumb to sleep at last, ‘cause then you’d have TWO Texans taking up the next page or so expounding on the virtues of BEING Texan and why everyone hasnt become one yet. Then Tim and all the others on the board would be rolling their eyes and poking you with their forks under the table and hissing under their breaths: “WHY did you have to give them an opening…mate?!” [did I use that correctly?] and having to endure at least one Texan (me) wittering away about history and such of my home. Not sure if you’ve heard it yet but theres a saying here : don’t ask a Texan where he’s from, he’ll tell you. And OH BOY will he/she tell you. It don’t take much encouragement for me to say something about Texas.
Yep its good I wasnt here. Youdda never got me to STFU.
But I will now…(and that probably makes me a flirt AND a tease…)
TexasBob - I am not flirting when I say this - just mean it sincere and true: THANK YOU, to you, your wife and everyone you serve with. THANK YOU for standing up for our country!
Posted by Sharon_Ferguson on 2007 06 14 at 12:24 PM • permalinkPS Texas Bob - please dont let Mrs. Texas Bob perform a Twatwa on me.
Posted by Sharon_Ferguson on 2007 06 14 at 12:27 PM • permalinkAllow me to second what Texas Bob said. I grew up in Texas under nothing but Democratic Govenrors, Senates and Houses until Bill Clements finally managed to break their stranglehold. The only Republican office holder of any consequence was US Senator John Tower.
However, IMO a large proportion of Democratic voters were pretty conservative; once the Jimmycrats went off the deep end, Reagan gave them a pretty damned good reason to switch affiliations, which lasts to this day.
I must also agree with TB’s assessment of a most glorious State. As school children in Texas, we were taught the State Song, “Texas, Our Texas”. People I talk to from most other states look at me quizically when I ask them if they know their state’s song.
So, yeah, Texas rocks. Not to mention that the SPURS will be bringing home their 4th title tonight! WOO-HOO!!
