I think I have a new favourite line in popular culture ...
In hilarious actual news news, recently, Lord Monckton, Scottish peer and anti-science fruitloop, declared that highly respected Australian economist Ross Garnaut was a fascist and illustrated him with a swastika at a talk in the US.
Monckton is currently in Australia talking at a series of mining industry events in Western Australia. He has responded to criticisms over the Garnaut swipe by saying that the media is hypocritical:
'[Monckton] said one journalist had written in a column that climate change sceptics should be gassed.
On the east coast, in Sydney, an anti-carbon tax rally was held today. In attendance were several hundred people, including one of the more public members of the Australian Fascism movement, who has public photographs of himself in full Nazi regalia.
You could not make this stuff up.
