Hooton was right

Matthew Hooton on Eye to Eye referred to NZ First voters as:

mad elderly Pakeha racists

Now Matthew has been known to hit the hyperbole occassionally, but in this case he is backed up by no less a source than the Sunday Star-Times. They report that NZ First voters are far far more likely to beleive in conspiracy theories:

• The US government knew about or planned the 9/11 attacks (52 percent)
• A secret elite cabal controls world affairs (38 percent)
• Princess Diana was assassinated (38 percent)
• World governments are hiding evidence of alien visits (35 percent)

Speaks for itself!
