Well, the Sydney Forum is done for another year, and we’re sorry to say that we failed. Sure, the only two respectable people on the bill cancelled - but they were replaced with a complete fruitcake and a glowing tribute to two absolute dregs of society - hardly a victory for our side, is it?

Drew Fraser, if he had any credibility left at all, blew the remains of it by appearing. Having spoken alongside Saleam on more than one occasion, having addressed members of the KKK at white supremacist meetings in the US, having used writings by ANM members (sourced from the website of the neo-Nazi terrorist group National Vanguard) as references in his written “works,” well… Drew Fraser has officially crossed the line into neo-Nazidom.

The rest of the speakers, all stalwarts of the racist right, well… yeah. Who cares?

Probably the most disturbing aspect of this year’s forum was the presence of a Palestinian speaking against Zionism. When you consider that a number of Australia First members have made comments to the effect that they would like all Arabs deported - and Saleam’s associates in the WPCA have made more extreme comments to the effect that they would like all Arabs exterminated - one can only assume Saleam and co. used deceit to ensure their presence.

As hard as it is to believe that a mythomaniac like Saleam would ever lie about anything, that’s how it looks from here. Jimbo defends this hypocrisy by pointing to the example of David Duke, the American Klansman and plastic surgeon’s dream.

David Duke will hang out with Arabs when it suits him, Jim says.

So? That makes David Duke a hypocrite too - as if any more proof of that was needed.

The more interesting event of the weekend was the affiliated bonehead par-tay in Chippendale on friday night, but maybe we should give that particular leak a couple of hours to get out of the state before we get into that.
