    Definitely a smell of Smollet off her tale but loyal 'fans' are not the most critical at the best of times.
    Celebrity, innit.

    Apparently Justin has said:

    and Rebecca

    Both sources have since been deleted.

    The latter tweet from Rebecca was particularly vile. Deleted afterwards, says it all really.

    There's another from Jun2020 where she says, simply, Hazel Chu is not Irish.

    I take her at her word. That isn't my issue with her. My issue is her banging the far right wingers are everywhere drum constantly. Outside of a tiny facebook fringe and a national party that isn't and has no elected representation we do not have anything like a right wing, never mind a far right wing support base in this country. It's boogeyman attention politics on her part.

    The first one I remember alright. Colour me shocked at the source.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Oh, it's unwise to take her word at face value (AOC)

    That's not that particularly vile.

    The tweet she got regarding some immigrant mastrubating on her daughter, now that's proper vile.

    That was in reference to an actual event in Dublin. Still not good taste to bring up.

    Literally no one on here defended it. Not one poster.

    What people did point out was that it was a topical comment in relation to a case that had gone through the courts that week and was not just someone thinking it up by themselves.

    Well god forbid facts should get in the way of fevered imaginings. There's an awful lot of that being bandied about on all sides of late.

    I'd prefer if she put up subjects such as this and fought for animal cruelty.

    In some peoples mind Barrett and his goons represent the Irish peoples attitude to those of different ethnic backgrounds. He's handy to pull out and say if you don't agree with us you must agree with Barrett :rolleyes:

    Ironic enough these new non-binary days when spectrums and nuance are suppose to be paramount. On some topics anyway.

    Just so I don't misrepresent you, are you saying that people here defended immigrants masturbating on a child?

    Or are you just purposely misrepresenting the people who pointed out that the fact that the tweet was not a threat of sexual violence against a minor and certainly not racist?

    Either way, the first half of your statement was demonstrably false. You proved the second half yourself though.

    It's very similar to how the dems in the USA conducted themselves where BLM and antifa could do no wrong but everything was trump's fault.

    I'm no fan by the way but I do believe he was a safer bet then what's been let in....


    What I can see is the watering down of society and the freedom of speech and free country all getting chipped away at.

    I see that Leo is again warning that all this uncivil discourse is putting politicians in danger!

    Clearly they must be defined as a protected class and legislation must be enacted to ensure that anybody who is mean to them on twitter gets arrested...
    ....or this idiot could just learn to use the block button. Twitter has one, 'an a-hole on the internet is constantly spamming me with their stupidity?' BLOCKED! Problem solved, unless you're really into mining dumb responses to your dumb posts for pitty points and clout I suppose.

    Can you expand on this for me?

    What extra protections should politicians have? What has the Jo Cox incident have to do with the discussion?

    It's deflection, and by using the Jo Cox incident, they try to shut down any discussion on the topic by equating what happened to Jo Cox to any negative criticism of the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

    It was in response to negative comments about comments made by Leo Varadkar.
    Do keep up.

    Because anyone who doesn't subscribe to the lefts globalist ideology must want to murder politicians by default.

    Ah you know yourself. Some people really dislike that Dublin has a female Mayor who doesnt have an Irish bloodline running back about 20 generations so they have to nitpick over every single thing she says constantly to find fault.

    I don't like her for two reasons.

    - She's an aggressive left wing race baiter

    - She is a local councillor who due to a biased Green Wave media has a larger media profile than most members of our cabinet, it is not uncommon for her to have three interviews per week in the IT and the Indo. She is a household name and our media have effectively given her the coverage that makes either a Dail seat or a spot in the Seanad almost a certainty within the next four years.

    I hadn't a clue who she was until about a month ago. She might get a spot in the Seanad as the Government can give away a certain number of them but I can't see her getting elected to the Dail.

    The Seanad does seem to be the place for our most unlikeable and useless politicians to fall back on.

    I don't know what an aggressive left wing race baiter is.

    She is a councillor but also Lord Mayor of Dublin, our capitol city. It's a story in itself, a woman of Chinese heritage becoming first citizen of Dublin. Hence the media profile.

    Whether she gets elected to the Dail will be up to the voters. The Senate is a different story but that's for another day.

    .

    There was an Indian TD in the Dail in the 80's.

    The Taoiseach was gay and of mixed race.

    The holding of a largely ceremonial role on a local council would not normally be noteworthy enough for the holder to do 3 interviews per week with the national media. Also it is because of the party she is in- the media wouldn't give Chu the time of day if she was FF or FG.

    How come Rotimi Adebari didn’t have such a high profile?? Considering he was the first ever non-Caucasian mayor in Ireland??
