In The Age's letters page today:

The Green Peril

ALL Victorians should be aware of the extreme danger posed to our state with the grim possibility of the Greens holding the balance of power. This party fraudulently claims to be about the environment, yet wants to import heroin, decriminalise other dangerous drugs, and encourage young teenagers into a homosexual lifestyle.

The Greens are the radical descendants of the Communist Party cloaked in the falsehood that they are harmless lovers of the environment while their real agenda is strongly anti-Christian and anti-family.

Pastor Peter Curtis, Werribee South

You can't expect me to let this one past, can you? Especially given the large ad taken out by the Exclusinve Brethren today on that very subject:

To: Letters @ The Age

To Pastor Peter Curtis,

While you're letting us in on the facts of the Green Menace, previously known only to you and Andrew Bolt, might I add that the Greens also

• eat babies
  
• worship Satan
  
• murder their political enemies in Death Camps in Siberia by the hundreds of thousands

Thank you for your timely warning. Now I know better, and will vote for whoever the Exclusive Brethren wants me to vote for. The CEC, right?

You might want to nuke the // at the start of the mailto: link. (ie: href="mailto:letters" rather than "mailto://letters".)

Sigh. I wish humans weren't so susceptible to out and out lying ...

Fixed, thanks.

The Greens are Communists now? Oh Noes!

You should have mentioned that they'll probably let in Asians too.

Weren't you listening to John Anderson during the last federal election? They're watermelons, dammit - they only look green to fool you.

So ... the Greens are both communists and Nazis? I'm impressed. Any group that can maintain two diametrically opposed ideologies must be something incredibly special!

Just goes to show that it doesn't pay to underestimate how cunning some people can be in the depths of their evil.

Or, alternatively, Anderson was simply another Nationals leader who went bonkers ... but, really, what are the odds of that?
