Bolt's Oft Repeated Disgrace

Andrew Bolt is about as regular as clockwork, though I'm sure we're all very aware of that fact. After reading this in The Australian:

'A MAGISTRATE seeking to preserve an Aboriginal toddler's "cultural identity" ignored warnings from child protection workers and put him into the care of his violent uncle, who four weeks later tortured and bashed the boy almost to death.
The 26-year-old uncle was sentenced to six years in prison yesterday after admitting to beating his 20-month-old nephew so severely that the toddler was fighting for his life in intensive care for three days.'

I knew without a doubt that Bolt would use it shamefully as another stick with which to beat his enemies in relation to the Stolen Generations. And viola, he did:

'As I’ve said many times, the stolen generation is a myth killing black children:'

What simple minded, partisan nonsense his argument is. Since his been destroyed by a mountain of historical evidence this has been his most recent, and most ridiculous, tactic. To convince Australia that the Stolen Generations should be denied he precedes to guilt them into disbelieving it, because as he says, regardless of the evidence for it, 'it kills black children'. So we're asked to not bother researching the evidence for ourselves because in doing so we'll simply be complicit in their deaths. This argument is tantamount to telling Armenians to stop mourning their past genocide if they would prefer better relations with Turkey. Just deny it no matter what happened, and all will be well. But let's look at this case as it happened:

'The boy, whose father was in jail for child rape, had been left homeless after the murder of his mother.
The decision of the Children's Court magistrate in October last year came despite the opposition of the Department of Human Services, which had raised concerns about the uncle's long criminal history and inadequate accommodation.
Indigenous leaders Boni Robertson, a professor in indigenous policy at Griffith University, and Warren Mundine, the former national president of the ALP, attacked the magistrate's decision to ignore the uncle's criminal and drug histories.
"It makes a mockery of the whole concept of child protection," Professor Robertson said. "Whoever made the decision to put that child in the care of that person with a history of known violence, they should be held culpable for what has happened to that child."'

No shit!!! What an immensely stupid decision! But if we are to follow Bolt's logic the magistrate can be absolved of his stupidity because the "myth" of the stolen generations is the real underlying culprit. The fact that this point would appear convenient for Bolt after his shrill denials of the Stolen Generations is of course of no consequence. To illustrate the magistrate's exceptional stupidity once more:

'The court heard yesterday that the uncle -- who lived in overcrowded conditions in the outer-southeast Melbourne suburb of Dandenong and was battling addictions to various drugs -- told police he "lost it" and started hitting the child in the head with an open hand because the boy was playing with his food.'
