    I have never hated Gerry Adams, I've never been a member of the "We Hate Gerry Adams Fan Club"

    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

    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.

    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.
