Candidate Gaffe: Halal, Haram & Islam the Country

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-polit...ter-gaffe-in-tv-interview-20130808-2rive.html

This lady is a candidate for One Nation, which is like a far right, ultra-racist/nationalist party.

In this interview the candidate describes Islam as a country, talks about her dislike of Haram and that 2.5% of Australians follow it, and says some other amusingly stupid and bigoted things. The video is worth watching just for a laugh.

Besides Pauline Hanson and some success in the late 90s/early 2000's in Queensland, one nation has not done particularly well as a political party.

Pauline Hanson recently said that she was selling her house and moving to England. She then went on to say that hse would not sell her house to a muslim, a jew, an asian or a black person.

Oh........my.......

That's not a gaff. That's an outright clusterF*** on wheels.

yeah it was pretty bad

I read this yesterday. The article described her as "Australia's Sarah Palin". I would actually describe her as a bit closer to Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell.

She has no where near the political influence or dare I say it "intelligence" of the two you mentioned

As I was writing that, I was actually thinking that Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell are more politically savvy and intelligent, respectively. But every nation has people that get involved in politics that should probably pass a civics exam first.
