Greer slams Croc Hunter mourners as 'idiots'

STEVE Irwin had embarrassed millions of Australians, Germaine Greer said last night.
And those who had mourned him with their tributes at the Irwin family's Australia Zoo in what the British had labelled "a Princess Diana moment" were idiots, she said.
British-based Greer wrote in The Guardian newspaper after Irwin's death that the animal world had taken revenge on "self-deluded animal tormentor Steve Irwin".
Last night, she went even further.
She told Channel 9's A Current Affair she did not understand Australians' feelings of loss for Irwin.
She said he had exploited animals by telling the world how dangerous they were and then treating them disrespectfully.
"I find the whole Steve Irwin phenomenon (embarrassing) -- and I'm not the only person who did," Greer said.
But when pushed, she was unable to name anyone who had publicly agreed with her.
She rejected claims her sentiments were "un-Australian".
"I don't care what I'm being called," Greer said.
"I just hope I'm out of touch with what idiots are thinking."

The mean-faced, clip-haired, dried-out homosexual communist hags are sure coming out full force on this story. Looks like the bull dykes see a man with Irwin's level of testosterone as so much unwanted competition, even in death.

"You have to be somewhat deranged to try to gain publicity from someone's death." No doubt, of course I have heard the same thing said of people who taunt large repriles for kicks.
No matter what it is a sad story from all sides.

Her sentiments are un-American, also!! And down-right rude! My daughter is a sophomore pre-Med student and in her first class on Monday, her profesor began by saying that "today is a sad day for zoologists everywhere."

When she goes, I doubt anyone will notice. The coffin bearers will notice how much she weighs...

The wannabe she-male Germaine Greer is merely displaying her raging penis envy, hatred of successful (especially masculine) men, and total lack of class and decency for all the world to see. She just cannot bear it that this man is so beloved, especially when she knows here funeral procession will be made up of a few other dried up hags who never loved or had anyone love them, ever.

Greer was one of the old-line, celebrity glam-feminists of the 60's/70's who badmouthed men even as she did her best to boink half the western world and look fabulous while doing it. When she was pushing forty she felt her biological clock ticking and tried to have kids. She went off the rails when she found out that years of untreated chlamydia had left her sterile.
Unlike her contemporary, Gloria Steinem she could not find an eccentric millionare to marry her at age sixty. Every now and then she tries to say something outrageous to get attention.
So of course she would despise a man's man like Steve Irwin.

I wonder if her father is dead.
If so, someone should ridicule him for the way he died.
She wouldn't appreciate it, and that is the point with her hate filled diatribes over the past couple of days.
Mr. Irwin is dead. What she says does not hurt him. It hurts his family.
She is a bitch who is doing nothing more than grabbing a moment in the limelight for herself by preying on a tragedy.
May she reap what she sows.

This woman is a callous B17@4. When Reagan died even the Dems had the decency (with a few exceptions) to shut their mouths until after the funeral.

They're nuts. Some people are just nuts, and there's no point in devoting rationality to their arguments, because they're just ugly, messed-up people who are NUTS.
We should pray for them.
