Young Lib's Obama 'monkey' gibe
http://www.theage.com.au/technology/young-libs-obama-monkey-gibe-20100416-sid9.html
A member of the Queensland Young Liberal National Party faces expulsion after he called Barack Obama a monkey on a social networking site.

Scores of party members this morning called on the party senior executive to immediately dismiss Nick Sowden, president Rod Schneider told brisbanetimes.com.au.

Mr Sowden last night posted messages on Twitter while the US President was being interviewed by Kerry O'Brien on the ABC's 7.30 Report.

1. As I said in the LBN thread on this topic.
He'll be defended in the name of stopping the evil of "political correctness!"

Political correctness definition (according to the Aus media): unfairly denying somebody's right to make fun of, harass, intimidate, discriminate against and be violent against anybody who isn't a white, middle aged, heterosexual, Christian Australian or his favourite sports players.

2. What we all have to recognise
is that there's no such thing as privacy any more.

If you're going to open your mouth, you need to think about whether you want to see yourself quoted all over the
Internet within hours.
