This week’s much coveted Wankley goes to News.com.au for allowing racist Muslim bashing comments on their “news” website.
Who are these neanderthals who awake from dreams of a “White Australia” at 2:45am to post their vile views? Surely they couldn’t (gasp!) be foreigners?!
News.com.au “welcome your comments” which are moderated and possibly edited before publication. This comment wasn’t published by their oh so sensitive moderator:
News.com.au’s moderator must have learned from News Limited’s master of such racist rabble rousing.

I concur with your views on this subject. But, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. How about you review a couple of the comments to Crikey a few days ago on the subject of the proposed Muslim school on the Gold Coast, they were on a par with this, from memory they were submitted by “Justy” and “Katie”.
