'DA will not be intimidated'

[semiautomatix]

What is your basis for insulting a person like Helen Zille? If your biggest complaint against her is that she used Botox, I don't honestly see that as such a problem, if its a problem at all.

Hehe, I'd rather be forced to stare at election posters of a botoxed Helen Zille than the ugly mug of "bra JZ".

ugly mug of "bra JZ".

R800/week to condition that shiny pate (to add yet another sick-making detail).

That somehow sounds... dirty.

That's a pretty shallow reaction. If a politician is judged primarily by looks then what will happen.

In this specific case we'll get a better government than the current one.

But what is it about politics that attracts ugly people?

There's a joke: Politics is showbiz for ugly people.

If someone can't take care of themselves how will they take care of a country?

This thread has just totally gone out of control. Personally, I don't have beef with Zille...more with the NNP remnants within the DA who still (stupidly) cling to the fear factor to get out their votes...They might as well employ Karl Rove and his goons if they want to scare the BeJeezus out of people. Worst comes to worst, Jacob Zuma would be the lesser of several evils that present themselves in the ANC's tripartite alliance- Blade Nzimande, Zwelinzima Vavi and Gwede Mantashe- who seem so far removed from (economic) reality that they would be prepared to bankrupt the country for social programs that we can't afford.

The problem is ... if JZ gets the presidency, the chances are that those three will have their grubby paws in reach of the purse strings ...

No one was inferring that black people are monkeys. Just merely the ANC YL and Malema in general.

But you have no beef with Kortbroek and NNP in the ANC doing the same thing? Double standards all round.

Mothlanthe would be the best person for the job, but Zuma is so greedy and egotistical that he is no longer doing this for the benefit of the country but merely him and his "cadres" narrow interests.

Wow... I think that just goes to show how quick people are to play the race card at any hint of similarity between a bunch of idiots and monkeys. Ag shame, so they're black and they act like monkeys - should an insult that could just as easily be thrown at a white/asian/coloured/mexican/whatever person - if such a similarity is found - be averted in case they - themselves - feel, on some level, that they ARE monkeys?

I'm sorry - but have you seen monkeys in a zoo before? They bounce around like crazy and toss things at each other as well as at the cages. Reminds me of when people starting throwing chairs in - I think it was - parliament. Do you see a better relation than a pack of crazed monkeys?

Personally, I think the ANC YL and Zuma are more like a bunch of baboons - think they're all big and intimidating but start screeching and bouncing around the moment they're faced with something they don't understand or that they perceive to be threatening. Even then, group them together and count the seconds down until they have their display of testosterone and mass barbaric stupidity.

Again - it doesn't matter what their race is - it is a matter of interpreting actions as you see them and a metaphorical relation to animals.

I think it was said before that people who take such silly comments to such ridiculous extremes have their own problems of insecurity and they make their lack of intelligent understanding everyone else's problem.

It is also my current belief that black people - in our country in general - feel the need to play the race card since they have never learned how to intellectually and rationally deal with insults (even so much as perceived insults) from someone from a different race.

I'm starting to think that you can't even so much as get into an argument with someone of another race without it being seen as a racial conflict.

This does seem to be a world wide ploy to play on "white guilt". Unfortunately this continent will soon learn that other races, especially certain Asian "business" associates, are immune to the card. They are buying this continent off one little piece at a time and you can scream racism till you're blue in the face but you ain't getting your land back.

Back on topic the ANC YL does seem to act like a bunch of uneducated baboons, I do like the bit about screaming at things you don't understand, a very apt mety-four.

The comment by news24 is no better than Parliamen'ts reaction to the FF+ comments comparing Mbeki to Mizaru, Mikazaru, and Mazaru.
