Message to Mr. Kennett: go back to when you came from (1880 seems pretty accurate)

I was too young to remember the "Dark ages" (as my dad puts it) of Jeff Kennett. Between shutting down stations, schools and deregulating everything he could get his hands on...well, he was apparently a d*ckhead in general. But I thought that although he may have been an overall knob, this just takes the cake:

FORMER state premier Jeff Kennett has provoked a gay rights storm by backing a football club that sacked a trainer for being gay.

The Hawthorn president and potential Melbourne lord mayor sparked calls for his sacking after saying Bonnie Doon Football Club was within its rights to sack veteran trainer Ken Campagnolo after it found out he was gay.

"The club felt that once this had been pointed out and you had this gentleman there who was obviously close to young men - massaging young men - it ran an unnecessary risk and that's why it decided it was best that he not perform those duties again. So the club was trying to do the right thing," Mr Kennett said.

"When you are in charge of a group of young boys, as this club was as I understand it, it's got to make sure."

Mr Kennett said it was as if the club had a pedophile trainer.

"It's the same if you have a pedophile there as a masseur, right?"

"And you might say the pedophile would do no damage, but once it was pointed out to you, you have a duty of care to those underage children not to put them in a situation of risk."

He could not guarantee a gay trainer would be welcome at Hawthorn, adding: "I don't know if we've got any.

"I'm just saying at the moment we have a duty of care to our players and staff and you have to make judgments on that. If you don't do it you end up with potential legal liability."

I think I'll take a leaf out of Sergent Wah's book. (Warning: high levels of obscenity and profanity to follow)

Kennett: fuck you. Fuck you and all of your arrogant, mindless, bigoted winged monkeys who still ascribe to the long-since debunked myths that gays molest kids. Let me put it in a term that a drooling cunt-ass like you can understand: GAY PEOPLE AREN'T FUCKING PEDOFILES! For fuck's sake, how many times do you have to raise the middle finger to sociology and say "up yours, I just wanna hate the fags and dykes and I don't wanna hafta listen to you so called 'evidence!' before you cunts get it? Gays have been persecuted for just about all history by you cock-suckers (irony intended) and these beliefs in 2008 just take the cake. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING? YOU ARE USING YOUR POSITION OF POLITICAL AUTHORITY TO GIVE HOMOPHOBES AN OUTING FOR THEIR HATE. YOU ARE IDENTICAL TO KEVIN ANDREWS AND HIS SHIT WITH SUDANESE-AUSTRALIANS. ANY ASSAULTS AGAINST GAYS WILL BE DIRECTLY YOUR FAULT.
Not that you'd have any problem with that, you twisted malicious Phelps-fucker.

To still think this shit in the 21st century shows just how archaic your beliefs are, and the idea of you running for mayor in the most culturally diverse city in probably the world shows just shit-headed you are. And if you do become mayor...watch out. The G-BIT* community will tear through you harder then Jasmyne Cannick at a Republican convention.
