  1. Healy Rae's love child.

    I wonder who told her who James Connolly was. Not long ago she was complaining about being ‘kidnapped’ by the very people he championed. Looking forward to the Labour election wipe-out.

      You know that it’s possible to support a group of people while simultaneously calling out a subsection of them for acting the maggot?

    Gerry appears to have had a better debate, but I couldn’t see how the debate justified SF being on 20%-plus in the opinion polls, and Labour being on sub-10%.

      Really?!

      I can understand disliking Labour, but you prefer the apologists-for-child-murderers, rapist-enablers SF?

        1. Rob_G

          So, if the Sindo published stories on it, it means it wasn’t true?

          Plenty of other newspapers wrote about it extensively, so not sure I understand your point.

          2. Anomanomanom

            So your actually saying or really believe none of what was reported happened. BLINKER vision comes to mind.

            “Plenty of newspapers owned by the same investors who pump “donations” into FG/Labour.”

            What a spectacular strawman.

          7. smoothlikemurphys

            Just because someone I don’t like ends up outing me for killing someone, it doesn’t make the murder any less real.

            You are attaching the Strawman because you’re trying to undermine the source of the reports instead of dealing with the content of them – the typical reaction of someone who is clutching at straws, having already lost the argument.

            I think people are correct to criticise Sinn Féin for covering up paedophilia, only if we also criticise all the other mainstream parties for doing the exact same thing. Gerry Adams is as much a paedophile as Michael Martin, or any of them, in that he played no actual part in the actions himself.

            The IRA in the north killed British soldiers, not just innocent civilians. You join an army, you open yourself up to being killed. Some civilian casualties are indefensible, but no more indefensible than the murders of innocent civilians in Iraq which FF and FG, in particular, fawned over. Is it ok if it happens in other countries, such as Iraq, but not other foreign countries, such as the ever loyal British state of Northern Ireland?

            Should we continue to use Shannon as a murder flight stopover while criticising Sinn Féin for what some of its members did in the past?

            Are we going to ignore the militant beginnings to FG and FF?

            One particularly idiotic poster has actually suggested that Sinn Féin rob banks to fuel “their propaganda… media bullshit.” Has anyone actually read The Irish Times/The Sunday Independent in the last five years? Is anyone actually going to attempt to claim that Stephen Collins, for example, is anything other than a snivelling, establishment apologist?

            Or is anyone actually going to tell me that the wife of a Fianna Fáil seanadóir is going to use the paper he edits to criticse his wife’s party?

            The sheer idiocy of those using the three establishment parties as some kind of exemplar of how to exist in the 21st century is beyond embarrassing. I do wonder how poorly dragged up some of you actually were.

            Criticise Sinn Féin all day if you want. But don’t allow yourself to inadvertently defend the other three numpty parties, you conglomorate of bowsies. #greens4life

    Claire Byrne showed her colours very clearly last night. Sickening to watch this Labour/FG cheerleader wave her pom poms on public TV on what was supposed to be an unbiased debate.

    More RTE puppetry, move along nothing to see here.

      1. Mé Féin

        Yes! She deserves a job on a State board, although working for the government’s television station is a good first start.

    This nonsense has inspired me to poetry:

    I don’t like the Labour Party,
    I tink dere sapz,
    I wouldn’t vote for them, no
    But I dunno who else I’d vote for,
    Tink I’ll stay in bed

    Here is one Twitter response I liked:

    “She did indeed quote James Connolly as he turned in his grave. R.I.P. James Connolly.”

  16. Anonymousred

    I can quote him as well:

    The “labour fakir” full of guile,
    Base doctrine ever preaches,
    And whilst he bleeds the rank and file
    Tame moderation teaches.

    Change the gender and it seems to fit.

    It feels like “Hard Labour” listening to her splutter on and on and on and on. Looks like she’s going down with the ship.
