How low can Jones go?

[Neferti]

Too bad for you Neffie... your new name.

I post opinions all the time. (I also cop flak for writing too much).
I'm not going to do all the thinking for you.

I post information too.

If you miss it, maybe a quick trip to the optometrist

I know you do Rockie! Mate! Optometrists!

Instead of getting the shits, hows about you hang around? You may have found your "niche".. ...........

IQ, have you ever thought about getting into radio talkback?

I would pay to listen to that.

IQ is Alan Jones... now you know

[Rorschach]

WRONG!

Sorry... didn't/don't have the shits.
Wasn't even the slightest bit annoyed.
Just goes to show how wrong one can be.

ps. Neffie, you should read as much of others opinions as you can. Oh and factual information too. hence... the reason I post stuff. The reason I highlight stuff. It helps in putting the big and little picture together and getting a grasp of where Australians stand on a topic. oh and talkback is a big help too.

It's obvious now.

Still waiting for the apology from Gillard, Rudd, Swan, Brown, Wong (even Keating) and the Fairfax press for all the pertsonal insults that they have made towards Howard, Costello, Downer, Abbott. Even when they mocked the death of Downer's grandfather who served as a POW in Changhi prison.

Funny how the leftwing nutters hate it when their very own comments are turned around and used on them.

Is it just me or is Jones a bit more 'umble since his return to air this week?

A kick in the ego might have done him good.

I rarely listen to him unless I hear him organising a rally or doing some good deed - then I'll tune in. I did hear about ten minutes of him after he made his apology and the people who rang in supporting him were even more annoying. Talk about sucking up. His reputation won't be damaged and it will only take a week or so before he's back to his arrogant self. It's a storm in a teacup, but where this has backfired for the Libs is that Julia Gillard has gained points and she will no longer have to make excuses to avoid his questioning. She can treat him publicly with the disdain that she's harboured privately. It's been a win for her.

No, but think Jones has realised that Gillard is exempt from any form criticism as she will always hide behind her gender.
And that the nuff nuff lefties aren't concerned with the economy or politics but just how many more freebies that Gillard will hand out. That way they can spend up big on their plasmas and enjoy watching Oprah and Jerry Jerry with a never ending supply of Tim Tams

Labor linked to anti-Jones campaigners

THE Destroy The Joint Facebook page, used to attack broadcaster Alan Jones, was set up by left-wing union official Sally McManus, who counts Employment Minister Bill Shorten as a friend.

Established after embattled 2GB breakfast host Jones said that "women are destroying the joint", it is co-run by failed former Labor Party candidate Victoria Brookman.

With more than 16,000 "likes", the Facebook campaign has been instrumental in galvanising public support against Jones and the Macquarie Radio Network in the wake of the radio host's comments about the Prime Minister's father. Personally I'd have thought the PM was the target of the comments not her father.

But despite the Labor links of Ms McManus, 40, secretary of the white-collar Australian Services Union's NSW branch, and aspiring MP Ms Brookman, who ran against Brendan Nelson in the federal seat of Bradfield in 2007, those behind the campaign have denied any official connection to the ALP or politics.

"I started the whole thing in my loungeroom," advertising executive Jane Caro said. Ms Caro, a panelist on ABC's The Gruen Transfer, said she sent the first tweet after Jones said on August 31 that "women are destroying the joint", referring to political leaders including Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore and former Victorian police chief Christine Nixon. Funny how ABC continually turns up in so many Labor campaigns

Ms Caro said her only motivation was to "send up" his comments as well as making a point when she tweeted: "Got time on my hands tonight so thought I'd spend it coming up with new ways of 'destroying the joint' being a woman and all. Ideas welcome." Destroy The Joint was then turned into a hashtag by hand surgeon Dr Jill Tomlinson, who described the campaign as an "empowering, positive and light-hearted response to misogynist comments by Alan Jones".

As it raced through the Twittersphere, Ms McManus created the Facebook page.

Ms McManus, who has known Mr Shorton since they met in 1994 through the union movement, handed it over to Ms Brookman and another friend, LW Feminist Prog journalist and academic Jenna Price. The Facebook campaign really took off after Mr Jones' recent remarks on September 22 about Mr Gillard's father. Which is a debateable point BTW.

Meanwhile, in its war of words with Alan Jones, Mercedes-Benz yesterday backed away from criticisms.

The carmaker released a carefully-worded statement in which it said the decision to cancel its substantial sponsorship was commercial - not political.

Mercedes defended its corporate communications manager David McCarthy, who has been described as a "gutless wonder" by Mr Jones.

"Every Mercedes-Benz executive involved has acted in accordance with our corporate values," the company said.

It said that it had two contracts with the Macquarie Radio Network.

"Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific cancelled its corporate sponsorship contract with 2GB on 1st October 2012 giving 28 days' notice," the company said.

"Separately there was an advertising contract with 2GB and our NSW dealers. We now understand that this contract was cancelled on or about 19 September 2012 giving 28 days' notice."
