Aussie Politician Threatens To Contact Employers of Satirical Article "Likers" 195
Chuq writes "Tasmanian Liberal candidate for Bass, Andrew Nikolic, was the subject of a satirical article by NewExaminer on Facebook. Nikolic didn't like it, which is understandable. However he then went to considerable lengths to identify the people who liked the article, find out their employers (via their Facebook profiles) and 'name and shame' them on a follow-up post on his own page. Andrew Nikolic has a history of poorly handling conflicting views on his Facebook page, resulting in creation of another page, 'Andrew Nikolic blocked me.'"

My best suggestion is to tell him on his Facebook page [facebook.com]. He probably doesn't read slashdot!

Well .. given he's from Tasmania .. that's a job that probably best left to one of his relatives.
/. Tasmania is the "West Virginia" of Australia. For foreigners of other denominations I'm not sure what the equivalent is. However in the spirit of an open discourse I would love to hear suggestions of similar designations from other countries!)

In Canada, it'd be Quebec. Literally. There are towns in rural Quebec with one surname. Something like 2/3 of Quebec's population is related as 2nd cousin or closer.

Oh, it isn't like I'm saying Obama will lose his shit on TV or whatever...no, he's a refined politician....on camera or in front of the media where you can see him...he stays cool.
It is once he gets out of the public eye, that he and his administration will really go after, even vilify someone that disagrees with him, or ruffles his feathers.
God help you if you are a reporter, even with a major news entity, and really come out and lambast "O"....you'll likely find your credentials pulled if you don't basically just adhere to reprinting the White House press briefings word for word.
For real world examples of Obama losing his cool...and having a thin skin...look at his visits and what he had to say to Gov. Bobby Jindal when he came to LA recently, or when he got off the plane and lit into that Gov. from AZ.
No, Obama does have a very thin skin...and he pretty much seems to get a free ride compared to his predecessor. I'm not a fan of Bush by any stretch of the imagination...but geez, the things that were said and published about him....if you tried going even a fraction that far with Obama...you'd better watch out.
