The Space Wizard fails to get his speaker

It has come as no surprise that Drew Fraser has been adopted by the racist right as their new poster boy. The lads on the world’s biggest white supremacist web forum, Stormfront are already talking up ways in which the professor can be utilised for their cause.

The jockeying for the professor’s patronage amongst the Australian lunar right has begun in earnest.

He said/she said

The words “deal or no deal” come to mind in regard to the current dispute between controversial academic Drew Fraser and the Macquarie University admin.

No, I’m not picturing Di Yerbury as a game show host with Fraser as her contestant. Nor am I envisaging that there will be any winners to emerge from this scenario.

White Pride Coalition spokesman Terry Davis said his members had plastered Toowoomba and the nearby town of Crows Nest with posters and distributed brochures describing white women as the “world’s most endangered species”.

Anti-Diversity Rally Foiled By ZOG Conspiracy!

Neo-nazis gathering in Auckland today to stage an anti-diversity rally were foiled, after world leaders meeting in an underground bunker deep beneath the dead sea conspired to fill up all available parking places.

Although there were still a few spaces free, one National Fronter explained their dilemma to Fight dem back: “You see, we just can’t parallel park.”

Fight dem back respects the right of all people to hold peaceful protests, and would happily have helped the National Front if asked politely, either by physically parking the cars for them, or standing to the side and saying, “A little more… a little more… okay, now pull the steering wheel down to the right… a bit more… you’ve still got THIS MUCH space.”

Appropriate hand gestures would have accompanied these verbal directions.

One of the best anti-racist editorials you will ever read. The Toowoomba Chronicle absolutely cuts loose with this one.
