Andrew Bolt: Time fascists were victims instead

TO ALL those who called me with sympathy for being attacked on Tuesday by masked protesters: stop it. Sympathy is for losers. And we must be losers no more, writes Andrew Bolt.

TO ALL those who called me with sympathy for being attacked on Tuesday by masked protesters: stop it.

Sympathy is for losers. And we must be losers no more.

So I want your high-fives instead. I want you to laugh at the CCTV footage of the haymaker I gave one of the three men who jumped me and blinded me with a thick liquid outside a Carlton book launch I was to speak at.

Their sort has ruled the streets for too long, particularly in Melbourne.

We’re seen similar masked idiots physically attack rival protests in Northcote and the city.

Being assaulted for your opinion is wrong, whether you’re Joyce or Bolt

We’ve seen other Leftists attack people trying to get to a speech by visiting Dutch political leader Geert Wilders, to a dinner with Australian Conservatives head Cory Bernardi or to a meeting of the Australian Christian Lobby.

We’ve seen their violent threats force the cancellation last year of a meeting Pauline Hanson planned with conservative Jews.

The Melbourne launch of my book, Worth Fighting For, also had to be cancelled after police warned of a serious security risk, saying they could spare us only two or three officers.

I was there when a mob smashed into the National Gallery to break up an Institute of Public Affairs dinner. At Melbourne University, more Leftists physically jostled former Liberal frontbencher Sophie Mirabella as she tried to give a lecture.

This must stop. It must not be this dangerous for conservatives to speak in Melbourne, while bullies escape punishment and the media Left yawns.

The Leftist fascists who attacked me seemed to count on this cost-free thuggery working yet again.

One even brought his fancy camera to shoot and post every moment of my expected humiliation.

Well, I resolved that if anyone was going to be humiliated, it was them.

I hit the head of one so hard that my knuckles are still tender, and when he was down, legs sprawled apart, I kicked.

Post that footage, moron.

And I plead self defence. I still didn’t know how many other attackers I had to fight.

If I make a fuss about how I clobbered these buggers until they limped off, it is for this purpose: they, not me, must end up humiliated.

They, not me, must be the poor dears fielding anxious inquiries about their injuries.

Time the fascists were the victims instead.
