Quantas Is Looking Out For You

[Boon Mee]

Man Kicked Off Flight For Bush-Bashing T-Shirt!

"An airline passenger barred from a flight for wearing a T-shirt labeling President Bush a terrorist has threatened legal action against Australia's flagcarrier Quantas."

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Update: Here's a picture of the Moonbat



BTW, there's no issue of "free speech" involved in this case. As a private company, Quantas has the right to refuse service to anyone they please, especially if the person's behavior and dress could cause problems during a flight

It's QANTAS.

The airline was originally called Q.A.N.T.A.S. - Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service and was based at Longreach, Queensland.

It's QANTAS.

Don't matter how it's spelled, they are all right!

Why would that shirt cause passengers to be nervous?

When I’m getting on a flight that lasts more than 12 hours, the last thing I want is to be cooped up with a barking moonbat shoving his Bush Derangement Syndrome in my face. Just like you can't make jokes about bombs, terrorists and hijackings in airports you can't carry signs about terrorists. Nor can you put labels on your luggage saying "no bombs inside". Any mention of terrorism or bombs in an airport doesn't qualify as free speech.

I heard a guy getting kicked out of a mall in the US for wearing a "Give Peace a Chance" t shirt.

Is he too a "moonbat"?

Guy was with his kids at a mall......

Land of the free, baby!

If I had the choice of sitting next to a moonbat with that t shirt or a guy with a "vote for bush" or maybe one with a picture of bush on an aircraft carrier stating "mission accomplished" for 12 hours well....What do the readers think?

Who would like to sit next to Boon Mee with an "I love Dubya" t shirt on a long haul flight??

"He could face up to a year in prison if convicted."
Well, the guy in Aussie got off light then!

Jesus Christ on a crutch,
What it says on a fucking T shirt,
Is that the worst thing a guys got to worry about??

I used to wear a black T with white letters on the front,
Said,
I might not go down in history,
But I will go down on your sister,

and on the back of my cutoff was my colors and no one ever made bad remarks to me about it.

that's because everyone was too busy laughing at you.

So, would the "moonbat" have walked up and down the plane for 12 hours, "shoving" his T-shirt into people's faces?
Maybe people wearing crosses should be banned from airplanes as well, the last thing I'd want is some religious nutter shoving his faith down my throat on a 12 hour flight.
People wearing football T-shirts should be banned as well, wouldn't want them hooligans starting fights on a flight, eh?

[kingwilly]

This is disgraceful, no two ways about it!

I went to the Qantas site and commended them for taking the action that they did.

I hope you didn't start the letter Dear qUantas....

A normal person would be joking..

What have Qantas got against the truth?

It's UnAustralian.


Maaaaaate!

I deleted a few off-topic jibes against qantas and a poster.
Not in Issues, please.

[attaboy]

^ I see how this works. Only the 24/7 TD addicts get to see the good shit.

Strewth Stroll,it was only taking the piss.So Issues is devoid of humour.You know,it's the sound you make in the back of your throat when you are having a laugh....

And for qantas to boot this bloke ...is laughable.

[man with no head]

I wonder how many rednecks wearing Bush-Cheney 2004 shirts will get booted?

Stupid Qantas.
