ABC The Drum - Free speech reserved for the chosen ones

vivzilla:

“Senator Steve Fielding jumped on board the free speech train when last week he gamely suggested that women of a certain value system (he used the terms ‘drug addicts and welfare cheats’, though I think we all know he meant ‘scum of the earth low-income types who like pushing prams around shopping malls and making nice middle-class men like me feel uncomfortable’) would very likely make it their life’s work to mock the paid parental leave scheme through wilfully getting pregnant and enjoying a cheeky abortion or 12, the scamps. To be honest, I find pretty much every idiotic bon mot that ejaculates from Steve Fielding’s mouth more deeply offensive than anything Catherine Deveny has said ever, though last I checked he hadn’t been fired or hounded by Today Tonight reporters or sworn at by Shane Warne. He has been reprimanded by Barnaby Joyce for ‘going too far’, which is essentially the moral equivalent of being kicked out of an orgy by the Marquis de Sade for spunking on the cat.”
