Controversies

 

Mirek Topolánek has been criticised for his rhetoric, which occasionally invokes memories of the World War II and Nazi atrocities. In August 2003 Topolánek called the programme of the competing Social Democratic Party to be a "osvětimská lež". "Osvětimská lež" is a common expression in Czech, which can be translated as "Holocaust Denial", which is a criminal offence under Czech law. Mr Topolánek's remark therefore implied that ČSSD's program was a set of criminal lies.

 

Further in June 2005, one year before the Parliament elections, he said: "From my side, don't expect anything else than a Night of the Long Knives. This night simply comes." This actually meant that after the elections of 2006, which he would win, he would make major personnel changes in the government.

 

In March 2007 he sent to a journalist an SMS message beginning with: "Es kommt der Tag...", which means "The day will come...".This was used in the 1930s by the Sudetendeutsche Party representing Germans in the former Czechoslovakia and meant, that the day will come, when the Sudeten area will become a part of Germany.

Then again he does sound to be smarter than Obama

 

from wikipedia

He entered politics by becoming a member of a post-communist catch-all civic movement Civic Forum in 1989, and has been a member of the Civic Democratic Party since 1994. Topolánek co-founded engineering company VAE Ltd. in 1991 and was a member of VAE Inc. board of directors from 1996 to 2003.

 

Sounds funny Obama being called out by one of his own.

Good post Cal,

 

Mr Obama has vigorously opposed the view that the Great Depression was caused by too much spending, rather than too little, a view held by a small handful of rightwing economists.

 

Like I said the boy (Obama) isn't to bright. When opposed to his own socialistic ideology he is always refusing to come to grips with the truth.

 

As far as a few right wing economists, how many right wing economists are teaching in liberal colleges or universities.

Plenty. Just not the quacks and charlatans that get quoted on WorldNetDaily.

[calfoxwc]

Has anybody here had a right wing conservative economics professor ?

 

Actually, the ones I had were not conservative or liberal. Which I prefer.

 

But, outside of supply and demand, and types of inflation, and the basic

 

working of our economy, it was boring. very, very, very boring.

 

Probably just me.

Cal, when did you start giving a flying fook what the EU says? When they disrespected Bush and hounded him for the war in Iraq, you said they were losers. Now you're quoting them? What's next, you'll paraphrase the UN??

there is some merit in the idea that criticism from socialists on our socialist policies may mean we're barking up the wrong tree.

OR - - - - because they are Socilaists, they have ZERO money to spend on bailing themselves out they way we're attempting to do, so they point fingers on the sidelines while they do nothing. Zilch.

 

Fook the EU. There waiting with thier hands out to see if what we do will work.

[choco]

so whats that rant have to do with anything.....you think this is about a handout?

 

 

no fooking wonder our countries in the shitter.....

[calfoxwc]

When did I say anything about the EU? Meanwhile, SWEDEN, that fine example of socialist gov....

 

refuses to bail out SAAB. They said the taxpayers' money was not to be risked on

 

that car co. bailout.

 

Now, THAT is common sense. I don't even remember the EU dissing Bush. But it wasn't about

 

throwing out trillions of dollars in spending that won't work.

 

Maybe it was on a different issue. Hence, hardly hypocrisy.

Mirek Topolanek, the eccentric former Czech prime minister, is no stranger to problems with photographers. Last year he punched a Czech cameraman who took a picture of his sleeping baby. But this weekend he has found himself in an almost impossible struggle to protect his dignity, after being shown naked and in a state of arousal next to Silvio Berlusconi's swimming pool.

 

The Italian prime minister had gained an injunction to prevent up to 700 photographs of private parties at his Sardinian villa appearing in the Italian media. But the decision by the Spanish paper El País to publish five images from May 2008 appears to have blown Topolanek's cover, even though the paper pixelated the faces. After denying that any embarrassing photographs could exist of his visit last year to Sardinia, Topolanek admitted that he was the naked man standing beside an unidentified woman on a sun-lounger.

 

The Czech media had recognised his white rubber wristband - a sign of support for the anti-Castro movement in Cuba - given to Topolanek by George W Bush during a visit to the United States last year. "It is me in the photograph," Topolanek said. "But it has been modified. The picture is not authentic. This is absolutely insolent interference in my privacy. Besides, there is nothing wrong or compromising. It was a private holiday in closed premises, not outside on a beach."
