Socialist Alliance campaigning for Howard
The Socialist Alliance are planning protest meetings and marches to try and get rid of Howard. I’m all for it, the protests I mean, as I reckon they will have the reverse effect.
I can just see them now – dressed like left-over hippies – braids, beads, unkempt and unwashed appearance, spiked hair, mucuous dripping from nose rings, needle marks on every arm, spitting at police, throwing marbles under the hooves of police horses and screaming obscenities.
Take note of the times and places and stay away – we don’t need a typhus epidemic amongst people that matter.
End the lies Rallies
Socialist Alliance is helping build pre-election “End the Lies” rallies across Australia to protest against the Howard government’s contempt for the Australian people, and to add to the pressure on a possible incoming ALP government not to do the same.

Be warned – stay at home – watch on tv and count the votes going Howards way. Swinging voters will say – If these freaks hate Howard then he’s got my vote.
throwing marbles under the hooves of police horses
They must be pretty serious about animal rights, I guess, what with the marbles and all.
I reckon they will have the reverse effect.
I agree entirely. In fact I have just commented on the American version of this same thought. at: Streams
