Martyrdom beckons with backlash over (Aussie bigot) Hanson sentence

[KamaAina]

Wouldn't you just know it? Finally, one of these right-wing bigoted wastes of oxygen gets what's coming to her -- and now everyone's rallying behind poor, put-upon Pauline! :puke:

As Pauline Hanson began a 3-year jail term in Brisbane Women's Prison yesterday the xenophobic leader of the far-right One Nation Party finally gained the sympathy of most of Australia.

Talkback radio was flooded by callers professing to oppose her political views but outraged at a no-parole sentence they believed far outweighed the seriousness of the offence and which was harsher than many imposed for violent crimes....

So good to know they have "talkback" radio Down Under </sarcasm> I wonder who the Aussie Rush is?

In case you're wondering just what makes Pauline Hanson so vile, here are a few gems, straight from the horse's ass, uh, mouth:

SEPT 1996: "I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate." Hanson's maiden speech to Parliament.

NOV 13, 1996: "I'm not a redneck, I'm not a racist, and I won't be called one. I'm a realist, a realist in what direction I want to see this country go."...

OCT 13, 1998: "Please explain?" Pauline Hanson responding to a question from (Aussie) 60 Minutes journalist Tracey Curro on whether she was xenophobic.
