Illuminating.

"Those" people don't really give a fcuk about victims, only mention them when they can be used as ammunition, against republicans usually (hence the victims of British state violence rarely get a mention save for token reference to bloody Sunday) although I have to say using the victims of loyalist violence to have a go at republicans is rare enough.

Who exactly is that addressed at ?

She was a victim of the type of terrorist atrocity you think we should all just forget about and move on, .

You'll be able to find a quote or two to back that up, I trust.

No, you derided the attack on Mrs Currie with a sneery remark. If anyone is a bit blase about the suffering of others, its you.

I'm sure you'll happily publicly go on the record now and state that you think that the perpetrators of terrorist atrocities from both sides should - under any sort of justice - be forced to spend decades in prison as appropriate to their crimes? I'll happily withdraw my claim in that case.

Wow, you are big on the sneering today, aren't you? I responded with an Adams-esque comment - which you correctly identified as condescending drivel. I'm wondering whether you said the same when it came directly from Adams?

Don't go quoting Gerry Adams, it seems to confuse the bejaysus out of the shinners.

Sinn Fein 'appealing to the lowest common denominator' is just plain bollocks tbh. It's just more of that generalising nonsense. If you don't agree with their policies, fine, but the lowest common denominator is too busy not giving a shit about politics and society's ills.

Was he addressing that to a specific victim, namely a wife of some politician who had some paramilitary groups initials carved into her chest? No, I don't think so.

So she was somehow excluded every time he spouted that piece of - what you call - condescending drivel?

Loyalists. They carved "UVF" on her chest.

to which you sneered in

Ah well, sure nobody had a monopoly on suffering etc. etc.

Its typical of the kind of attitude you've displayed throughout the thread. You can't get a few posts out with throwing in abusive comments, murmurings about "knuckledraggers" and "celtic jerseys". And to cap it all, you top off your attempts to intellectualise some deep emotional disturbance by having a go at the maiming of a politicans wife.

you keep repeating this but its not what he meant.The subtlety of the english language seems to escape you.

Consistently they seem to target their propaganda at the weak and/or uneducated. I remember during the Lisbon treaty they had a billboard in Tallaght stating "remember 1916", which had sweet fck all to do with anything.

Today I saw the following sign and it really annoyed me because it seems that a lot of educated people seem to be swinging in the Sinn Fein direction using the excuse of 'there's nobody better'. But ffs, talk about bullshít campaigning!

I really hope these tools never get into power.

Yeah like we havent had any tools in power before, like ever :rolleyes:

I think you may be projecting here to be honest. Admit it, when Gerry's own words were recycled and applied to an actual victim, the fact that he was spouting 'condescending drivel' was apparent to you and you didn't like it. And rather than question your own beliefs, you prefer to attack the messenger.

Here we go - classic shinner: "If you're not with us you're agin us"

Why is it that only SF supporters have this attitude?

Like so many people here have professed their devotion to FF, FG, Lab etc
:rolleyes:

Don't you get it? They just hate the idea of a party whose members include people who until very recently supported mass murder.

Simple really.
