This hilarious video is doing the rounds on YouTube at the moment. It's a clip from a news interview with an Australian politician by the name of Bill Shorten.
Here's a man who has blind faith in his leader, regardless of what she says! Remind you of any group of people?!

He would have made a great Nazi.
Thanks poppers. The brazen ignorance of it all is disturbing. He isn't at all ashamed that he is essentially a mindless automaton.
I can imagine getting a similar response from a publisher if I asked him or her the question "so, what do you think of the Society's new release?" before they've had chance to read it.

I watched that interview live and was just speechless! What a total moron! I immediately thought he would make a great JW, totally ready to believe anything at anytime without knowing what the current WTS belief actually is.
God people are stupid! 
Could this be another slant on the video presented ?
As reported in the Herald Sun mon.April 30 2012 by journalist Andrew Bolt
and I quote : Whether he meant it or not,Shortens message was clear,he wasn`t saying he agreed with Gillard on Slipper,but the opposite.And he wanted us to know it,because Gillards catostrophic judgement is not just destroying her own reputation but staining his own--and that of every minister forced to defend her incompetence. By supporting Slipper as speaker since the latest allegationsagainst him broke a week ago Gillard has made herself seem an unprincipled schemer.
Not once in any press conference last week did she specifically condemn sexual harassment.She stressed only Slippers claim of innocence,which allowed opposition leader Tony Abbot to claim" she just doesn`t get it" Shorten on thursday was very keen to show he, at at least, did get it.and said at least half a dozen times that sexual harassment was" completely unacceptable"
He hinted that Slipper would be" considering his position"and journalists reporting his remarks concluded he wanted Slipper to stand aside until the case against him was settled.
Gillard did not---but this weekend must have realised splitting with Shorten over Slipper was a fight that would kill her.And so she got Slipper to postpone his return and Thompson to sit apart from labor in parliment. unquote.
just saying

Thanks Smiddy. If this was, indeed, heavily veiled sarcasm - then that would explain the stupidity.

Their was an article in the" Australian" newspaper on the weekend, by another journalist who virtually says the same thing,so in effect he was cautiously distancing himself from the PM over this issue.

It didn't sound like sarcasm or even irony to me - but then I'm not an Aussie!
