The tolerant loving Greens

Toad (who holds senior office in the Greens) blogs on Ruth Richardson gaining an honorary degree from Canterbury University:

She is the most evil New Zealander of the last century. She should be vilified, not honoured by the University of Canterbury with a doctorate she didn’t even study for.

Remember how the Greens claim they don’t do personal attacks – they are all about the issue.

And one of their most senior office holders says a democratically elected politician, whose crime is to implement policies he disagrees with, is the most evil New Zealander of the last century.

More so presumably than Clayton Weatherston. More so than the sadists who stuck a baby in a drying machine and also pegged them on a clothes line. More so than Graeme Burton etc etc.

The politics of hate is very ugly – no matter where it comes from.

UPDATE: Blunt provides this picture of the Toadian perspective.
