Can't you liberals take a joke?

One of the more loathsome people in our national discourse is the Mayor of Wanganui, Michael Laws. Talk Radio host and former MP he is never short of cheeky bon mot about how the underclass should be sterilised so that they don't clutter up society with their countless spawn. Here but, of course,now, he says he didn't say it.

Rather than suggesting paying people to get sterilised, Laws says he in fact suggested that “it would be far better for this appalling underclass to be offered financial inducements not to have children”.

Oh, the perils of not engaging the brain before letting the rabid extremist express, leave the siding. But then we have the classic New Zild politician dodge, "It's the media. Just because I was advocating eugenics and still do but more politely, they pick on me"
I believe that it is not fair and a Liberal plot as any fule know.
Still Mr. Laws is under some pressure these days as the ombudsman awards certificates to school children who wrote impolite letters to him, QUESTIONING HIS AUTHORITAH!!!
