Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to ,
I don’t understand what this, form the Herald, actually means. Is it the heralds writing or my reading? It looks as if Dot Com is complaining that Hager and the National party are in car hoots.
It could be read that way, although Dotcom's words appear to have been twisted a little. I suspect it's more a case of clumsy journalism than foul play.

Sorry if I offended you Kracklite. My "odious slug" comment was not intended to be a psychiatric term - just my opinion of Slater.

It is because he is clinically depressed
I really question that diagnosis.Perhaps "odious slug" would be more accurate?

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to SteveH,
Here's a profile of him from a few years back: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sunday-star-times/features/2583835/Internet-warrior.</q>
There's a good quote from Russell in that story.
"Says left-leaning journalist and blogger Russell Brown: "He strikes me as an arrested adolescent. I think he's got a real problem with women. Given the apparent degree of his role within the National Party, I wonder if at some point they should be called on that. I don't respect him at all, frankly."
Bingo! I think they've been well and truly called.

John Armstrong has written a surprisingly well-balanced piece in today's Herald.

Can you tell me what the cover illustration is of?
I don't have a hard copy yet but it appears to be a generic background image.

I see Slater is going into his grab bag of diversions he deploys when he is feeling the heat and claiming he has had death threats.
And as a bonus diversionary tactic, why not pin the "torrent of death threats" on Nicky Hager.
He believed Hager would not take responsibility for those threats

Scott Yorke nails it nicely.
Cameron Slater is the real victim -

Not just China, but also Israel, America, Russia, Britain...
The Israeli one is interesting... the Jewish Internet Defense Force. Is it possible that our Cam has popped over there for some training?

Unbelievable! I see the Herald has added this line to several posts.
"FORUM EDITOR'S NOTE: This piece is satire. He is not defending the National Party."
Given the apparent IQ of some of their audience, maybe the Herald need to put the word "Satire" at the top of the post - in flashing red, 60 point comic sans.
