obeid the worst case we have ever had and the silence from the left...was staggering.....in fact if you mention his name now they get all twittery..
You're really blind to the criticism then. Never make comments like that on a forum with a search function.
I started a bloody THREAD criticising Obeid.
Obeid is still collecting parliamentary pensionYou even posted in it. Post #1.

it makes you sick doesnt it....
you know what I think?
they are covering in case they get caught in the future...and thats all they seem to be there for their amazing hand outs...
as if this person deserves anything from tax payers..
And then there's my observations about the lack of criticism of corrupt Liberals by "rightards":

and Labor are happy to turn a blind eye to all their corruption members like Obeid and McDonald..
amazing thomo and williamson ripped millions off the poorest workers...and not a word from the left..
The Labor personages who have ripped off etc have been roundly criticised from all sides. I don't recall anyone holding back on them.
Indeed ... I haven't defended Obeid or Macdonald for their corrupt conduct. Corruption is to be condemned unconditionally.
Yet, strangely, when Liberals are caught out, criticism of their conduct from the rusted-on Liberals in the forum is hard to find.
Examples -
TEN NSW Liberals had to stand aside due to corruption allegations raised in ICAC. Several Federal Liberals attended several weddings on the taxpayers' account.
Yet even this week, we had this kind of rubbish still being posted:

... it would be a crying shame if this Lib govt in NSW was put out of office.
As far as I can see, they have been far & away the best govt of any persuasion in this nation for a long long time.
Ably led now by Baird, and by O'Farrell before him ...
Obviously for bogarde, CORRUPTION is something to be ignored if it's LIBERALS doing it.
I criticise
all such conduct because it's wrong ... it would be nice if everyone else did the same - especially the rightards.
I have been consistent in my criticism of Obeid.

Quote:When the journalist ... asked how much he could make from the development, Mr Stevens then began to wave his hands and arms up and down in the journalist's face.
If this politician is abusing his position for personal gain, that is corruption as bad as what Obeid and Macdonald did in NSW.
No wonder he's not willing to talk about it.
You have been consistent in your wilful blindness.

totally shameful...I am disgusted...
slush funds where have I heard that before????..
so do you lefties agree that anyone found by either ICAC or a ROYAL to be corrupt /breaking their own rules/stealing/lying/cheating..you name it?..
needs to be hung out to dry..
or are you only after Lin scalps...which is a shame.
but not entirely unexpected..as I do not recall any lefties being sickened by the Obeid corruptions in fact they didnt like any righty talking about it..
I think you're suffering from the same disease as Sinodinos and others - selective amnesia. There's been loads of condemnation from across the political spectrum denouncing corrupt behaviour in general without regard for political affiliation. You won't find many left-leaning posters defending Obeid.
It is good that ICAC exists to kick over the political rocks to see what hides beneath. Like most posters, I want political corruption brought forth and punished without regard to political affiliation.
We cannot, however, look at the outcome of the latest ICAC hearings without some sense of irony. This is why Abbott's ill-judged tweet gets reposted a bit.
really perhaps you can post some up.. as you seem to have such a good memory you wont have a bit of trouble finding them will you?
Use the search function and look for "Obeid" and "corrupt"
Quote: and no I didnt see any of that....but would like to read what I missed..
You were posting in those threads. You should be well aware that very few people (if any) were defending Obeid, even among the left-leaning posters.
(post edited for brevity)
And wilful blindness it is ... you are simply not able to change your mind on this. You simply REFUSE to see.
