I have previously noted this comment from Lindsay Mitchell:
But there were a couple of other ‘warm fuzzies’. I was signing a petition and another gruff geyser about my age was also asked. A young Bradford supporter tried to intervene. “You don’t understand what you are signing, ” she told the man. “Yes I do,” he replied.
“But these people collecting signatures are christians,” she protested.
“And you are a weird mole” he said, “Now go back to your sisterhood.”
It’s interesting to see so many who support railroading parents through the courts resorting to lines like this. However, now they’re more like “they didn’t understand what they were signing”.
Which is of course, nonsense. My observation and that of at least 3 other people I know who gathered signatures was that unlike previous campaigns, getting signatures for this particular effort was rather easy.
In fact, “offering water to a thirsty man” was how I would describe it and the others I’ve spoken to agree wholeheartedly.
It’s interesting to think about it though. The Greens are the sort of people who have a tendency to sign any petition that falls under their noses for a “good cause”. The general public is not like that – they are wary of such things. However, Sue Bradford can’t seem to tell the difference and assumes that those who signed this petition are as gullible as her friends.
