A bit of background: David Oldfield (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Oldfield_(politician)) is the former advisor to rightwingnut racist and former politician Pauline Hanson. He now incredibly (or maybe it is not so surprising considering the station he is on) has a midnight show on Sydney talkback radio. This clip is from the Nov. 10 edition of the fantastic 'Media Watch,' a show which looks at the media in Australia shown on the national broadcaster, ABC.

Warning: these exchanges between the presenter and his callers are pretty offensive and shocking. Makes me ashamed as an Australian that pricks like this still exist (and that the kids who pranked him thought it was funny).

2. Electing Barack Obama for these people is working the puss out of an infected wound

It's going to hurt some people, a lot, but it has to be done, and it will be done, so they'd better shut up and take it. They can get it over with now, or later, it's better to get it over with now. For all of us.

3. What is this continuing fascination with black people eating watermelon? Seriously!

What is this, humor of the 1890s?!

4. Weirdest thing I've seen this month on DU

I'm having a bit of trouble even understanding what the purpose of this video is...

5. Don't be ashamed

Jackasses like these exist in every country, sadly. Hanson's advisor on the radio? Big surprise that is......
