    I think for his age he's a bit of a lash. Also I love his Twitter.

    For sure it's the accent. For years he was silent on TV, then they gave him his voice and everyone was disappointed hearing his real voice.

    If you have to ask a question like that, you must leave a sheltered life

    HINT: Google Gerry Adams


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    I don't remember such levels of hatred for him back in the 1990s, when the IRA were actually killing people. I suppose Sinn Féin didn't pose any electoral threat to the establishment back then.

    I don't hate Gerry Adams.

    I despise everything he and his party stands for, and I will oppose the treacherous cowardly murdering bastards until my dying day.

    But I don't hate him.

    No, he was still hated back then.

    All the lying and the sneering and the hairy face and arms and Mrs McConvilles 10 children watching her being led away like a lamb to her death and the way he rolls his sleeves up in the Dail to give the impression he's working hard

    I assume you'retalking about the IRA? The only thing the IRA had to offer its members was life imprisonment or death. They said so themselves. I doubt the people who took up on that offer were cowards.

    He has done more and risked more than any other person in the Dáil to achieve the peace we enjoy today.

    +1. Especially by the tens of thousands of people who were injured or had friends or family killed by the "armed struggle" his movement advocated during the 70's, 80's and 90's.

    You couldn't describe getting drunk and/or high and driving a car loaded with explosives into a packed shopping area before scurrying away like a rat courageous though, could you, in all honesty.
    Or maybe YOU could?

    No your incorrect
    The Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan commissioned a report into that slur and found it to be completely with no basis whatsoever.

    The IRA were strongly against drugs an uneducated person like you wouldn't know.
    Into a packed shopping area? What are you on about? Fool who doesn't know what he's on about.

    You are mentally ill.

    Good old Jarry is terrorist garbage that we have to pretend to take seriously because everyone that matters pretty much got tired of the Northern Irish problem, decided it wasn't worth any more peoples lives and let him and his ilk (on both sides) play at being politicians with no real chance of them ever making any decisions that matter to normal people because they are morons.

    He's a punchline.

    If we were a more hardline country, the man and all his associates would be in the ground instead of the Dail.

    Think of Bloody Friday, Belfast. Lots of innocent shoppers murdered by IRA bombs. Just one example/ Not that anyone was a member or leader of PIRA in Belfast at the time.

    At least he advocates peace now, I'll say that for him. He is not hated as much as he used to be. Good reason for that.

    I doubt you even know there's more than one IRA. Here's a bit of education for you. The Provisional IRA was the main IRA in the troubles, the rest were splinter groups/scumbags. The real ira carried out that attack after the peace agreement in NI.

    She was a prod, the IRA killed lots of prods. Black prods they called them.

    You just used the "splitters!" argument from The Life of Brian.

    As i said, a punchline.

    Didn't she tend to an injured British soldier too, which helped sign her death warrant?

    If we were more a hardline country martin mcguinness would be president. Another clueless tree hugger.

    I've just been looking at your posting history and I don't need an education on Irish history from someone who addresses other posters as "mate".

    It's all his internet fanboys that I hate.

    Can we talk about why we hate them?

    1. They think Gerry Adams is a good person, deep, deep, deep down.
    2. They make excuses for his part in the murder of innocent people.
    3. They give him their votes, disrespecting the lawful institutions of government on both sides of the border and what they stand for.
    4. They troll political fora, hoping to have him cast as a misrepresented moderate so they can keep making excuses on his behalf.
    5. They attribute the 'peace' to him, instead of to the peoples of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

    Gerry Adams is a scumbag. Always was, always will be.
