[Q.]

[Gozu]

RACIST comments published on US book retailer website Amazon about an Aboriginal author have reignited debate surrounding News Ltd columnist Andrew Bolt's writings on indigenous people and drawn fire from Aboriginal groups.

Bolt, who was found guilty last year of offences under the Racial Discrimination Act, wrote a blog this week titled ''Are we censored enough for you?'' in response to Anita Heiss' book, Am I Black Enough for You?

Heiss was one of nine Aboriginal people who took Bolt and his publisher to court over articles that implied light-skinned indigenous people chose to be black for personal gain.

In a post on the Herald Sun website on Tuesday, Bolt included a link to US-based Amazon.com on which almost 80 ''reviews'' of Heiss' book had been published by last night, some openly racist. Some attacked Heiss personally and referred to a perceived lack of freedom of speech in Australia that prevented the writers from expressing their views here.

What slime Andrew Bolt is.

My wife is good friends with Anita and went to the court case when it was on to support her. Apparently Anita was "black enough" for Blot's lawyer as he didn't put her on the stand.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Bolt considering he suffers from ARDS ... Acute Relevancy Deficiency Syndrome.

LOL, Tony Abbott now in a speech at the Institute of Public Affairs defending Andrew Bolt's right to free speech.

I agree Tony, as long as he abides with the Laws of the Land in doing so ...

TRYING.. ?
Looked like a pretty clear statement of rejection to me.
However, I don't read his stuff so I don't know whether he has published anything that suggested he supported this group in the past that would justify calling it "distancing" now.

It seems the only people who read him are the people who despise him... he would be laugh all the way to the bank

Psyber, supposedly Bolt's name has been used in support of the 'Galileo Movement' before.

Scoob, I haven't read anything from Bolt at all this year (until this blog post) and only because someone else posted it on another forum. I only bothered to have a look because I've heard some of their conspiracy theories before which are unintentionally hilarious.

Nah just the one.

You made the mistake of assuming I read Bolt's blog or newspaper articles just because I used to put up posts from Pure Poison.

Over 100 posts bagging the bloke and you don't even read him, imagine if you actually read what he wrote!!!

[Gozu]

Can you actually read?

[scoob]

Can you actually read?

Yes.

I find it amusing you don't read his articles, and purely base your opinion on him from someone elses opinion posted on another website... but thats cool
