A Paul Henry basher

I've always had an extreme dislike for Richard Boock. He's a stupid person's idea of an intelligent person. An ardent supporter of the slaughter of unborn children (better known as abortion), an advocate of political correctness, a proud supporter of prostitution and yes, a Paul Henry basher. You can search through his articles on (the very left wing news website) stuff.co.nz. There's enough evidence there to support my claims.

You can say what you like about Paul Henry, so long as it's backed up by reason. People loved watching Breakfast because he always found new ways to entertain, often by just speaking his mind. His stories of the Amtrak train suction toilets, asking Tamati to spit in the Web Ellis cup and laughing at Matt Mclean for standing on a box in Wellington made for some entertaining laughs. My best guess for Mr Boocks dislike of Paul Henry is that he is part of a small group of people. This group of people are the politically correct faction. Anything Henry said, any joke he made was offensive. After a while, they got their way; Henry resigned.

Although there are so many different reasons to dislike Mr Boock, none irritate me more than his views on Henry, which can be found here.

Here are some snippets of the babble he produced, with my response in Italics.

"He was constantly unreasonable and wrong-headed"

How? Why? In what way? It is just an empty statement, devoid of any reason. On many occasions, Paul provided good comic relief. Even his laugh was enough to put most people into fits of laughter.

"True, no-one should ever be held responsible for what comes out of Henry's foul gob. But it still wouldn't hurt for Mau to recognise her reluctance to challenge more strongly such obnoxious and belittling points of view"

In the same way, most people should not buy into yet another empty statement by Mr Boock. Most things Paul Henry ever managed to say on air was going to offend people like him (who lack any sense of humor), who walk around with glass hearts, ready to be offended at the slightest drop of a hat. Of course he is entitled to think that if he so pleases. Trying to put it in such a "matter of fact" way seems to suggest there is no changing his mind. 

Contrary to Mr Boocks thoughts on same sex marriage being such a large issue, consider this. In New Zealand 1/10 of 1% are in a same sex civil partnership. The other homosexuals are either waiting in anticipation for same sex marriage bill to be finalised or they have no intention of ever entering a legal relationship. Given that 1% of New Zealand's population is made up of homosexuals, you can decide for yourself how many of them are actually interested in marrying.
