There are countless YouTube videos showing so-called “liberals” condemning “racist” statements – until they find out that they’re quotes from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Similarly, these know-nothing leftist airheads will agree with perfectly reasonable statements…until they find out that they’re from the Bad Orange Man.
That’s because these ninnies have substituted moronic tribalism and a shockingly misplaced regard for their own moral superiority for hard, critical thinking.
Case in point:
Former foreign minister Alexander Downer has been condemned for “normalising racism and hatred” after accusing refugees who settle in Australia permanently of undermining the system […] Speaking to a largely conservative audience at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest, the former foreign minister said refugees only deserve protection for the duration of the event, usually a conflict, that they’re fleeing.
“When that’s finished they should be peacefully able to return home,” he said.
Which, as it happens, is exactly what the Dalai Lama says, too.
“The Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader […] said that refugees should return to their native countries and assist with developing them […]The Dalai Lama is a refugee himself.”
He accused refugees of seeking more than safety.
“These people are not looking just for protection, these people are looking to migrate and they’re looking to migrate to the country they want to go to.”
“They get protection in all sorts of other countries on the way to your country, but no, no, no, we’re going to let them in and become migrants. This is of course undermining the whole system.”
[…] The speech to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest in March received little attention at the time, but has been widely criticised.
“Widely”, of course, meaning the tiny little clique of tax-hoovering leeches at Australia’s public broadcasters and “human rights” quangos, furiously agreeing with each other as usual. Just to prove there’s no show without Punch, along comes yet another persistent boil on the arse of the Australian taxpayer:
Former Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane said it was “inflammatory far-right rhetoric”.

Well, he would say that. Soupy is just another leftist NPC with the stock list of empty phrases running on an endless loop. Which certainly beats thinking for himself.
