Andrew Bolt Singled Out By PM Kevin Rudd as a Baby Killer

Those of you who read Gramfan’s comments know that she is a big fan of Andrew Bolt.  He is at the forefront of the anti-AGW movement and eviscerates the junk science oozing forth from the AGW crowd every single day in his Herald Sun columns.

Now, comes word that Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (the Totalitarian Marxist bastard that he is) has Mr. Bolt in his crosshairs and has decided to ignore real science and instead play on the emotions of the Aussies in an attempt to distract the public from the facts and denigrate Mr. Bolt.

I say, “well done, Mr. Bolt!  You have him on the ropes!  Just keep pounding away and punishing him with the cold-hard facts!”

The following is Andrew Bolt’s personal comments regarding PM Rudd’s desperate flailing:

At last I’ve been singled out by the PM
By Andrew Bolt – Herald Sun
November 11, 2009

I HAD no idea I was a corrupt, reckless, arrogant, dangerous and gutless conspirator who’d rather put my children in danger than help the Prime Minister stop global warming.

[Just so you know, PM Kevin Rudd is an actual baby killer---he is pro-abortion.]

But so Kevin Rudd has told the nation, naming me as one of just four Australians who’ve joined a global cabal plotting to stop him from saving you.

Never have I heard such a mad speech from a prime minister as the one Rudd gave on Friday at the Lowy Institute, when he exposed an alleged “legion of climate change sceptics” who were “active across the world” and had “tentacles” deep in the Opposition.

These “deniers”, now a “major force”, “simply do not care” that “the clock is ticking for the planet” since “the vested interests at work are simply too great”.

So “well resourced” were we “political cowards” that we were “prepared to destroy our children’s future”.

And four times Rudd singled out the four villains at the heart of this plot, as in: “Malcolm, Barnaby, Andrew and Janet – stop gambling with our future.”

From the left, that’s Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull  (actually a climate change dupe), Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce, me and Australian columnist Janet Albrechtsen.

Has any past prime minister singled out just four people – two mere journalists – as part of a conspiracy to hurt the Australian way of life?

It is grotesque, a misuse of Rudd’s authority. But it also shows how fatally weak is Rudd’s reason – or at least his reason for wanting to hit us with a colossal tax on our emissions that will shut power stations, throw thousands out of work and yet do nothing to lower the world’s temperatures.

Rudd’s speech also confirmed he had no answer to my challenge last week: to tell us how much he’ll pay of the $7 billion a year the United Nations asks from us under the draft Copenhagen treaty he wants to sign next month.

Let me make a few things clear to Rudd. First, no one pays me a cent to be sceptical; in fact, my boss suggests I “give the planet the benefit of the doubt”. Your claim that I argue from just a “vested interest” is a despicable lie.

Second, the real “vested interests” in this debate are behind the alarmists, not the sceptics, which is why your Government has just given a $90 million grant to a trial “green” energy plant whose shareholders include doom-preacher Tim Flannery – even though all three wells of the company’s first geothermal plant have broken down.

Third, what threatens my children’s future is not my scepticism but your mad plans to waste billions of dollars on a threat that seems not to exist.

Fourth, you deceive when you say “4000 scientists” wrote the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on which you base your claim man is heating the world to hell.

In fact, just 60 of those (actually fewer than 3000) scientists specifically endorsed that claim, and even they admitted they were just 90 per cent sure. Moreover, their finding has been rejected by petitions signedby thousands of other scientists.

Lastly, I’m in no conspiracy, and until a year ago fought almost alone here as a sceptic. The real “political cowards” are those of your own ministers who know your global warming plan is a hoax fix to a hoax scare, but dare not speak.

Now this, Prime Minister, is how to argue. By citing evidence. Checking predictions against reality.

Your attempt to instead demonise me as a menace to even my own children proves nothing but that you have no facts to justify your megalomaniacal plan – and that you may be unworthy of your office.

    Thanks for putting that up, Doc.

    The WSJ actually mentioned Rudd’s speech, but not Bolt’s name.(Can’t find the link)

    Bolt has really been all over Rudd, and he had worked as an adviser to Rudd’s party some time ago which must have given hima bit of insight.

    We have very few conservative journos here and Bolt is one of the best, especially with his work on Climate Change and now the dreaded Copenhagen Treaty.

    I think here Rudd is following Obama since he declared war on FoxNews.

    Bolt, Beck and O’Reilly all have the same boss – Murdoch!
    Now if only they would have an Aussie version of Fox here. It could work well.

    I am always amazed at Bolt’s daily output, and his blog must represent the degree of people who want to read this sort of stuff – even though many lefties love to drop in.

    I also recall he was one of the few in the MSM who published the Mo-Toons and he also put up “Fitna”.
    (What is it about people with a Dutch heritage?)

    Today, lots of stuff about Fort Hood – fearlessly written.

    My sincere condolences to all the victims and their families.


    • “I think here Rudd is following Obama since he declared war on FoxNews.”

      Funny you should mention that. In my first draft, I had said:

      “Now, comes word that Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (the Totalitarian Marxist bastard that he is) has taken a page right out of Obama’s Alinsky-esque playbook and is playing on the emotions of the Aussies in an attempt to denigrate and delegitimize Mr. Bolt’s work.”

      But, in an attempt to re-work my run-on sentence, I dropped the Obama/Alinsky tidbit and came up with an even more gargantuan run-on sentence.

      :)

      Cheers

        E.S.P. or great minds?

        I forgot to mention Alinsky :)

        Naturally he was on my mind too.

        Looks like there are a lot of comments on that thread and I doubt I will get through them all.

    Hey, don’t worry, Obama’s gonna declare marshal law next year and force America to destroy itself, if the economy hasn’t imploded on it’s own by then.

    The Dems aren’t “Just Wrong,” they are evil! And stoooopid, to boot.

      I sometimes wish we didn’t know these things :(

      I have been contemplating changing my name to “Cassandra”, and I don’t like it really.

      What is it with the left? All they can do is destroy things?
      What have they actually ever done that was worthwhile, creative and inspiring?

      Whatever it was I must have missed it.

    This is about the best overall explanation I’ve heard

    It’s also consistent with what Dr.Sanity, and others, have said.

    What I would like to know is considering that more Americans believe in ghosts and spacemen than man made climate change is it possible that either ghosts or visitors from outer space are responsible for climate change?

    The browns battle cry appears to be, oh my gosh, it’s a beautiful day, oh noes., were all gonna die.

      Have you ever seen first hand what happens when you get in the way of people and their power supply? I have and I would not want to be these people. You think people get pissed when the cable goes out during the Super Bowl, you have no idea.

      On the bright side Agor will probablly lose weight….runnin and stuff.
