Irish Times front-page cartoon, 9/01/10: in bad taste?

    In the weekend edition just gone. It's a slag-off about standards and skeletons in the cupboard up north - DUP Peter Robinson (Iris Robinson affair) and Sinn Fein McGuinness/Adams (with IRA badges etc).

    Issue I have with it is that the cartoon had Gerry Adams with a book in his hand entitled "Liam Adams". Is it really on to be slagging him about his [edit] brother? That whole Liam Adams thing has been used as a stick to beat Gerry Adams - seems in bad taste to me!

    Adams has lied consistently about his relationship with his brother. I'd be in favour of more of the same. He's a lying hypocrite.

    See the Tribune today for more of the same from Sinn Fein!
    Minstrel, he's in public life and making money from it...he's done wrong and now he's simply fair game.

    How has he done wrong? His brother is a [mod edit], that's hardly his fault.

    He's lying through his hole about what he knew. He's been caught out and knows it.

    I'm going to edit some of the comments made by people and then I'm locking this thread.

    Regardless of what's in the public domain people should be aware that no court case has been taken again Liam Adams and he has been convicted of anything yet.
