Zaid and the irony of ironies
Pix pinched from Malaysiakini Before March 8, 2008, Malaysians reading MSM would hardly have been aware that the opposition existed — at least in any positive sense.

Heck, even the photographs selected of the opposition leaders by the … Continue reading
Why did Guan Eng hijack argument by deliberate warping?
In our previous posting ‘Send flotilla to S’pore!‘, regular Hartal reader ‘najib manaukau’ pointed out that “the only one common thing in the Palestinians, the Arabs and the Malays is that they are all Muslims”. However, looking at the chart of the Top 10 least corrupt countries, we see another thing in common, in that … Continue reading
Here’s one way to tackle Utusan
[For story behind the cartoon above, please ref. CIF Watch.] UK’s the Guardian newspaper is anti-Israel, as is its Comment is Free (CIF) online facility for readers. Pro-Israel commentators have been banned from commenting in Guardian’s CIF section for nothing even approaching what the pro-Palestinian commentators are allowed to get away with. We’ve ourselves noticed … Continue reading
Someone, at least, agrees with Mahathir

If homo imam start gay mosque, you support, ah?

By Reina Each time you have a western dish, you get a sprig of cilantro or parsley stuck in the middle of the dish as a piece of decoration. Many of us just push it aside. That is what the National Union of Journalists is. An inconsequential group of people who many have long pushed … Continue reading
Ssshhh! Cannot say the word ‘Muslim’ / Altantuya
A BBC story on Sept 14 reminds one of the Altantuya murder trial where two Unit Tindakan Khas (special forces) officers were found guilty by the court of killing Altantuya. The public prosecutor however failed to reveal the most crucial ingredient — motive. Why in the world would the two accused C4 a Mongolian total … Continue reading
BN Govt Coming Down Hard On Freedom Of Expression
By Crankster It was quite subtle at first. They tried to block Malaysia Today around this time – exactly two years ago. You and I know how that went.

PKR infighting spills over into out-fighting
Posted by hartalmsm on October 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Pix: One Pakatan party is bending over backwards to appease and it ain’t PKR. Hartal has previously called Malaysia’s richest paper The Sniveling Star. We’d like to think that we had adequately deconstructed its articles to convince our blog readers as to in what way Star snivelled.
