No, what it means is when someone says to end PC, they mean an end to schools that won't do Easter or Christmas for fear of offending a handful of students who are Muslim, for example. Or those who insist on asking people to say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" for the same reason.

Exactly. His claim that he would halt all Muslim immigration may be popular with the lunatic fringe and a handful of other groups but it's not something he'd politically ever be able to implement. The consequences for the US would make such a move intolerable.

Sadly, the truth is that those who believe others are crazy are far more likely to be crazy themselves.

He's politically incorrect

His period as opposition leader and PM were the most politically correct of his life - his minders made sure of that.

Political correctness in my opinion had nothing to do with his popularity, people would have been happy to accept that had he been in charge of a competent government.

Leftists are politically indoctrinated to hate.  The politics of envy, mob intimidation, cultural marxism, social media, political correctness. bullying etc are their weapons of choice.



Leftists, and their comrades in the union movement, target individuals whom they fear may succeed in eroding their power.  Abbott was targeted from day 1 with their hate propaganda and their leftist comrades lap it up.  Soon all are just "following the crowd at chow time" echoing the hate.     

This political hate is pretty palpable here too 

Godwin's law aside, its also the very tactic that was used by the National Socialists to great effect, which is something Leftists will emphatically deny (watch this space...... )

I really don't get where this "Abbott the victim" complex comes from, Abbott was one of the most incompetent leaders in Australian history up there with Joh and Newman and the media largely never really held him to account, it really became a "Oh we are reporting on this because we have too, but we don't really care" thing and Abbott would honestly have a politically career killing moment for anyone else on almost on a weekly basis.

Meanwhile Gillard was constantly hounded by the media over the smallest thing, sections of the media and Parliament were outright calling for Gillards assassination, what did Gillard do? Didn't even lie about a Carbon Tax that never actually existed and was quoted out of context. Abbott broke almost every promise he made before even his first budget.

Abbott got off light for what a piece of trash he was, I mean, look at Shorten, he has a lower approval rating than Abbott and he hasn't even done anything except exist and get media hearsay thrown at him.
