Comments on: Joseph Muscat: Master of the art of illogical argumentation for a largely illogical audience https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/07/joseph-muscat-master-of-the-art-of-illogical-argumentation-for-a-largely-illogical-audience/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

The comparison is illogical because rescuing banks is about money and pushing back immigrants is about human rights and probably torture and loss of life.

You don’t apply one to justify the other. That is why there are laws that protect inalienable rights from all other majority ‘feelings and behaviour’,

Coming from a Prime Minister such argumentation can only be intended to confuse issues to gain political mileage.

Flaccid, and probably sweaty.

Seriously.

Joey is saying that if we rescued corporations, we have an even greater duty to rescue people. It makes perfect sense to me, for a change.

Also, banks represent the oligarchy and the middle class whose savings they hold, while the immigrants are the poorest of the poor. I see the comparison holding on that level too.

You know, being a market hawker an’all. For the first time in my life, I’m really, really ashamed to be Maltese.

Sorry about the language but that’s how we express ourselves in my trade.

This idiot should know that the EU Commission granted his predecessor 110 million Euros for our “navy”. That’s far more than he’ll ever give the Armed Forces in the national budget.

Linking two totally unrelated issues with each other in order to justify your actions, or to get something out of somebody.

In a similar vein, were the numerous comments on the online Times et al during the Libyan crisis. To the effect of – You see Libya? Look how much we Maltese have helped you. Now send us a ship-load of money and cheap oil – you owe us!
