Re Ms O'Sullivan (again): a plague on both houses

It all started with an unnecessarily extreme comment by one "Redlogix" on "The Standard", essentially accusing Ms O'Sullivan of treason for supporting the Crafar farm deal and, presumably, using hyperbole for effect. Some of the subsequent comments appended to that post were plain silly.

The Right have now got on their very high horse (having been provided with a fairly large and easy target) and are pontificating about extremism on the Left. The right has a real nerve to do so, given the outpourings of bile appended in commentaries to Right blog postings. On the whole, Left blogs are less sustainedly vicious, in my view, though, no doubt, I will be taken to task for such a view.

Thus is a vital issue for NZ - how we understand and manage our sovereignty - lost in an unproductive and sometimes downright gormless rant. It is a shame, really.
