David Norris Attack Website

markphillips

So a friend of mine sent me this link today, and I have to admit I was pretty disgusted:

http://www.davidnorris4president.com/index.html

An organisation called The Campaign for Conscience is behind it (some hybrid of Coir?).

I think this illustrates pretty aptly the sort of rubbish we will all have to put up with if Norris runs for President. I really think it will bring out the worst in some people and groups.

I saw somebody did a whois on it, same crowd who've been behind a few of these campaigns, though amusingly the server/domain is a close relation to several Dutch porn sites. Likely not affiliated to the campaign.

Norris is a sickener. He's always looking for sympathy. The young fellow who posted that site is just playing into his hands.

That is a disgraceful website.

We need a 4chan DoS attack!Yeah its pretty retarded in this day and age.I'd like to think he would get the presidency on merit as opposed to his sexuality.

If that fella on the facebook page is behind this, he looks like he ought to try having sex before giving out about the rest of us at it.

If he was 20 years older he'd have been at the forefront of trying to keep condoms out of pharmacies and women would still be obliged to have sex with their husbands, as the courts here once ruled (before being slapped down by the European Courts. Imagine how backwards we'd still be if we hadn't joined the EC?)

Should be on the humour board. These fools are hilarious.

From a Times article.

The placard holders are members of one big family. When challenged by a pinstriped cyclist, 21-year-old Enoch Burke takes him on. “Well, where does Aids begin?” asks Enoch, following up with HIV figures from St James’s Hospital, to “prove” that homosexuals started it. “God help you,” says the cyclist mournfully. Enoch, who declined a place in medicine at University College Galway, is one of 10 children – all with biblical names – of Sean and Martina Burke from Castlebar, Co Mayo. His brother Isaac is in third-year science in Galway. Esther is working for her HDip. Ammi hopes to study languages. The family belong to no particular sect. “We’re just a Christian church,” says Martina.

How do she and Sean find the time to support their large family and stand all day outside Leinster House? Sean, she says, was a qualified electrician, “and does a lot of different things now”. Martina, a qualified secondary teacher, “still does private tuition” for exam students. “Of course there are a thousand other things we could be doing. I could cry coming up,” she says, “but there’s a lot of unrest in the country, and the politicians are not representing the people.”

The Bible sustains them on the three- to four-hour drive from Castlebar two or three days a week, before they stand tall with their placards for up to nine hours a day.

Makes me want to vote for him even more. Anyone these muppets give out about must be good.

I believe in free speech so best of luck to him with his site.

I also think his site is a load of rubbish and im sure people can make up their own mind about norris without looking at this drivel.

Einhard

How appropriate, a guy called Enoch fronting such a disgusting, hate filled, narrow minded, and bigoted campaign. If this kind of thing becomes a feature of the campaign, I for one will vote for Norris just to spite the fundamentalist troglodytes.

As a gay guy, I gotta say he ain't bad. Why is it the hot ones are always right-wing hate-filled Christian loons? :D

Given the amount of right wing republicans and pastors who have turned up with rent boys and interns of the same sex, I wouldn't discount your chances yet.

OMG!

I'll pray to my Gods, Madonna the Mother, Kylie the daughter and Gaga the Holy Spirit for that young boys eyes to be opened that he may see the light!

Norris was a howl at Gay Prom!

No, we don't, thank you*.
While the site is something I'm very sad to have seen originating in Ireland and is more associated with the Bible-bashing belt of America, boards.ie should never become a source for 4chan-/b/-style DDOS attacks on other sites/people.

*I know you probably weren't being that serious but just in case anyone thinks you were.

What's the line from "Good Morning Vietnam"? "In More Dire Need of a Blowjob Than Any White Man in History"

Good grief they're decrying homosexuality on the grounds of ''no genetic evidence''' whilst remaining biblically fundamental

Enoch, his parents must have known something.

Wonder what they think of Darwin's theory of evolution

I presume they mean that there's no evidence for the basis of sexual preference being genetic (arguable, but with strong evidence against their claim) - if not, then what they're saying is amusingly daft.

No wasnt serious,was said in jest

It seems Norris' rebuke to then archbishop desmod of dublin during the campaign to legalise homosexuality is appropriate

"I believe he knows a lot about angles. But he knows nothing about fairies'

Lenny Lovett

I don't believe Norris should be President but not for reasons of his sexuality or anything connected with his private life. I just feel he's had a free ride off us for long enough in that great debating club known as the Seanad and IMO anyone connected with the current Government and Opposition should be debarred for the hames they've made of the country.

Oh, and according to yer man Enoch's website Norris was born in Leopoldville in the Belgian Congo. Now that should preclude him too. Imagine being born in Leopoldville!:pac:

HOMOPHOBE :eek:

Just kidding. Another thing I really hope does not happen if he runs is that people with genuine reasons against voting him don't have their opinions discounted because they are arguing against a gay guy. That'd just be bad for everyone.

This website is not endorsed or produced by David Norris. Furthermore Campaign for Conscience does not endorse David Norris for President.

Heh

This Enoch Powell Burke guy must be bored now that Coir/Libertas/Youth Defence are doing nothing. I bet he does his Westboro website for free, forsaking even €1.84 an hour.

Hope someone meatspins his inbox.

no genetic evidence for homosexuality? but there's plenty of genetic evidence for heterosexuality,right?

OhNoYouDidn't

This sort of bile plays right into Norris's hands. How many fundamentalist, funded by someone somewhere, loonballs who have the time and resources to picket the Dail about HIV are actually out there? 100? An irrelevance at every level.

All Norris's core constituency (urban middle classes) will see are a group of rabid boggers with bloody knuckles and vote for him to not be seen on the side of the most regressive and bigoted culchie waste.

Plenty of this to come and his campaign will privately be delighted.

Thank heavens he didn't go into medecine.
I thought there was meant to be an exam now to weed out those thought totally unsuitable for medical profession no matter how bright they were ?
Once again Castlebar delivers a family that brings ridicule to the town.
They make the flynns look normal.

Send him an email telling him you think he is hot, he will have nightmares and spend every night up praying for your soul.
