Looks all's fair in love and war, as they say, so I don't see a problem with these people organising against the Greens, Labors, or anybody else's policies. Let the best arguments win, which is great cause their arguments rely on lies, fiction, and crimes against humanity. The Greens need to be able to handle themselves against attacks like this.
The real question i have with Advance, and Aust Institute for that matter is, who funds them. I have to accept them, i suppose, but if they're going to have influence over this country's politics, the average voter must be able to know who funds them.
The Truthers schtick is so tiresome. Its like a gold star they put on all their homework to make themselves feel special.
I suppose this is the real guts of the article, the importance of highlighting a truly sad partnership of the Reactionary Rightwing International. These Jewish groups and their links to Advance is a sad union for them to seek.
The victim complex is unbearably boorish.
They have the the largest private media organisation/conglomerate in their corner. They have not one but four plus parties shouting their propaganda. Libs, Nats, ON, Palmer, SFF?, Sustainable Aus?.
They are dominant in all but reality. It is the realisation that no matter how much shouting at the wind is done, it doesn't turn it back, it can create a hurricanes though... so that'll be useful for exactly no one.
Unfortunately, it's very hard for citizens to distinguish lies from truth. E.g. the "Children Overboard" scandal - a well timed lie can win an election. At the very least we need honesty in our election materials. Libellous electioneering is dangerous.
Yeah, na, good point.
I suppose i's thinking of the longer term argument, where hopefully enough people learn the spurious claim that are made.
