Say something bad about universally revered person?

Barack Obama

Was not the peaceful president he betrayed to be. Set the records for wars a US president was involved in and the amount of drone attacks in sovereign foreign nations, over 3,000 in his term

machiavellianme

Isn't it against the charter to say bad things about anyone?

Pope John Paul II

turned a blind eye to the child abuse scandal within the RC church, completely dismissed the promotion of women in the church, meddled in the politics of his homeland of Poland but condemn others clergy for doing same esp in South America...and he also believed in the physical existence of angels, he was in need of professional help methinks

Richard Hillman

David Attenborough.

I think he has tarnished his reputation a bit over the last few years. Some of the scenes in the recent Netflix shows were misleading to link them to climate change. The Walrus scene in particular.

Bulls,hit ,it all fake news and lies I tell you. He was the best President America ever had.

Tom Hanks is the most overrated actor ever and so is leonardo di Caprio. The amount of films them two have ruined is criminal. They should both be in jail for sins against acting.

SmartinMartin

Mary Robinson.

Horrible person, completely different from the public persona.

Gregor Samsa

Kermit The Frog. Total muppet.

Surreptitious

Is that why they won Oscars?

I'm not convinced that, in the end, Walter White really cared all that much about his family.

Hellokitty1212

Greta Thunberg needs a slap and then putting on the bold step.

Thomas Cruise,

Unreal career. Loved his films over the years, but Scientology ehhh no.

I think when you correctly frame his presidency by the fact that he was the best president of a war mongering state, it makes more sense.

Meryl Streep
A very good actress that gets nominated alot more than is weird

Underseveringly Won an Oscar for impersonating Margaret Thatcher

_Brian

Bertie Ahern.

I know nobody wants to hear a bad word about him, but I think he knew the money was a bit dodgy.

Fuascailteoir

John Cleese, well past his sell by date and his Irish jokes belong in the 1950s, as he does with his brexiteer views

Your Face

Michael Parkinson.
A thick Yorkshire gimp.
A terrible interviewer with a very limited range.

the14thwarrior

well I'm told I can be a bit arrogant at times

Princess Diana

Narcissist, self-absorbed & simpering idiot. Pukey, vomit breath. No wonder Charles kept Camilla on the go.

Ahh Billy was great...

I have a CD of him doing a show live at the Hammersmith Odeon from 1991 and its brilliant... just incredibly clever, witty, warm and energetic and hilarious... a real rapport between him and his audience...sounds like a guy loving what he’s doing and getting a real kick out of making people laugh, being on the edge of good taste, slightly offensive at times at least by today’s ‘standards’ but hilarious....

Mjolnir

Don't know about revered but I can't stand Lee Evans, find him incredibly unfunny and annoying.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

God.

Vain, narcissistic, infantile and ultimate absentee father.

The drone thing is oft-quoted, but overlooks the rather blatant reason for this is that armed drones didn't exist yet when his predecessor took power, and the drone capable of carrying heavy payloads didn't come into service until 2007 which was one year before Obama was elected, so of course there were more strikes under Obama than previous presidents, who had relied on older more conventional weapons. The US actually launched more drone strikes during Trump's first two years than Obama's whole 8 years in power, though it got reported far less because there were a hundred other dumpster fires going on at the same time with Trump.

Obama actually took steps to reform the drone program and brought in more transparency including a requirement that any civilian casualties must be made public, something which Trump rescinded in early 2019 so we just don't know how many more casualties there have been in the second two years of his presidency.

None of this is to excuse America's lethal approach to foreign policy under any of its presidents, but it's not really accurate to say that Obama escalated it. His administration did make efforts to broker peace, most notably with the Iran deal, and there were 90% fewer American soldiers in foreign wars at the end of his presidency than there were at that start of it.

Michael D Higgins, He's just a snobby old guy that comes out with a few poems.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

I’ve heard plenty of criticism of Barack Obama over the years, OP.

muhammad rapes and stones women. but its fine cos (some reason)

olestoepoke

Mother Theresa was a con artist.

John Lennon was a woman-beater. Very few people who knew him well really liked him.

ToddDameron

Countess Markievicz. A nasty piece of work.

Gruffalux

William Butler Yeats was a real sap when it came to his love life. Cringey, really.

Quantum Erasure

Gay Byrne was horrid tight with money

Gruffalux

CG Jung was an absolute prick to his wife, married her for her money and then proceeded to ride loads of his patients, like some sort of narcissistic guru . His drawings are only okay, also.

Gruffalux

Gandhi was also a bit odd. Had young wans sleep in the bed with him to test his mastery of celibacy. Weirdo.

Also if he's a true socialist, why isn't he renting a little flat somewhere?

a personal family story that seems surreal now, my parents were parked in the main carpark of a huge (80000) event and as they were about to leave the gate and drive into the great unwashed, a gay byrne who was seperated from his driver simply hopped in the back of my da's car and said "go go go "

and they dropped him to howth before making their way home to south leinster

And even the Guardian thinks his so-called poetry is "strikingly poor."

You spelt Cúnt wrong!

Horrible treatment of people in the care of her hospices when she was alive.
All based on her belief that pain was a blessing from Jesus.
Baptising the dying regardless of their wishes and secretly.

That's before you even take into account her rather worrying relationships with criminals and dictators.

Padre Pio

remember him? used to be on every second windscreen in Ireland back in the day

Claims he had the crucifixion wounds of christ on his hands yet never allowed any medical professionals to examine them, always had them covered up.

I reckon he did have wounds on his hands but they were self inflicted,

in short..a chancer

I'd take Scientology anyday over Islam. He doesn't rub it in peoples faces like Mahershala Ali who refused to do sexy scenes with women

Snickers Man

Seinfeld wasn't funny.

Neither is Vic Reeves. I just don't get that guy.
