Dont you remember Adams refusing to condemn each and every atrocity carried out by them? Many people say that Adams himself was in the IRA, possibly even being their leader back in the 70s? either way, why would you want anybody connected to the PIRA to be your President
Why dont you get your facts right,do you think Pira just appeared from nowhere, if it wasn't for the apartheid like state that the loyalist and prosandent people governed we might not have seen the likes of Pira,
Its gas the way a sizeable majority of you p.u.l people up there act the all so innocent.0 -

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING :eek::eek::eek:
How did Gerry Adams ever risk his life for anything? Not his style he was on the army council (alledgedly) so he sat on his ass and sent out dozens of young idealistic men & women to death and/or imprisonment for their acts of terrorism, brave man my ass!
"brave soldiers of the IRA"
I think not
Murdering, lying, bombing SCUMBAGS
I often wonder what the average age of the IRA sympathisers on boards is
Are they old enough to remember the fact that EVERY DAY during the 70's and 80's the RTE news had something in it about another death in the north
Every day someone died "for the cause" be they Catholic or Protestant, members of the IRA/INLA/UVF/UDA/British Army/RUC or Gardai no one deserves to be murdered or maimed
I am old enough to remember Leggykelly ?Sp
And Enniskillen where Gordon Wilson lost his daughter Marie
And that poor kid Tim Parry who was MURDERED in Warrington by the IRA I remember his picture as clear as if it was yesterday blue eyes, blond hair and school uniform
I remember going over the border as a kid on shopping trips to Enniskillen (my mother being from just south of the Fermanagh border) and we had to go through armed checkpoints in Belcoo and Blacklion every time
When shopping in Enniskillen someone had to stay in the car at all times because unattended cars were towed & subjected to controlled explosions
Army barracks in Newry and Enniskillen were surrounded by 20 foot high barbed wire and bars on the windows of the RUC stations
There is nothing "romantic" about the kind of republicanism that brings entire towns and cities to their knees with bomb alerts and the daily threat of violence
There is nothing "brave" in killing innocent women & children which the IRA did with alarming regularity at the height of the troubles
Gerry Adams is and was an important figure in IRA history and he has the blood of innocents on his hands
This is not the type of person the majority of Irish people want as our president and figure head of our state abroad0 -

AT LEAST WE CAUGHT HIM OUT AND SAW WHAT HIS GAME WAS ANGEL.
He picked some user-name though as the real Enda would not be pleased. Its a wonder he didn't use Gerry A Adams but then he wanted it to seem like he was respectable. I should have been a detective Angel.0 -
for starters gerry adams has been shot twice he was interned lived on the run and even to this day his life is under threat so not quite the easy ride you seem to think. i also remember crossing the border some of the memories that particularily stand out are having the udr holding a gun to my head when i was about ten years old. seeing the british army with a group of teens probably aged about 12-15 line up against a wall iving them a beaten in broad daylight. seeing a man with his arms and legs tied together behind his back again surrounded by soliders getting a beaten. now if this is what they where doing in public one can only imaine what was going on behind closed doors. and you call the people who opposed these scum terrorists you make me want to pukeangelfire9 wrote: »You have GOT TO BE KIDDING :eek::eek::eek:

Pray tell what on earth you were doing to have the UDR put a gun to your head?
I funnily enough never witnessed any of the type of thing you are talking about and I spent quite alot of time in the north when I was in my teens at the height of the "troubles"
You refer to the British Army as terrorists but seem to see the IRA terrorism as heroism
Let me repeat what I have stated in my last comment as you seem to not understand my point
There is NOTHING HEROIC in the killing of innocent men, women & children by large scale bomb attacks such as those the IRA carried out in Enniskillen and Warrington (2 name just 2 locations)
I listened to a muppet from Republican Sinn Fein on Clare FM this morning who said that Ronan Kerr's murder was justified because he "worked for Crown forces" :mad:
This type of lunatic republicanism almost ruined our country once
Gerry Adams was interred and lived on the run because he was a CRIMINAL
and a TERRORIST and an orchestrator of violence and murder in both Northern Ireland and the UK mainland as well as in the Republic
He doesn't deny that
Why do you? 0 -
You are right on one count, there was nothing romantic about it, however to say that IRA volunteers where not brave soldiers is wrong. Pretty well known that there was a grudging respect from the BA especially for people like Brendan Hughes and Francis Hughes.angelfire9 wrote: »You have GOT TO BE KIDDING :eek::eek::eek:

I would also ease up on the defamatory statements RE Gerry Adams.0 -
