    The butthurt here when somebody interrupts the racist circle jerk is hilarious.

    Stormfront must be wondering where all its posters have gone!

    "Heil Casey!"

    Casey had a chance to bring together the right-wing kneejerk, prone to the jackboot elements of FG FF and those disaffected and angry and I think his bungling incoherence has blown it. Or maybe that is what is required to lead a disparate rabble like that? Boris for example.


    If you want to talk about extremism. It was Michael D who entertained a bank robber and killer in his home.

    It didn't work out so well for millions of people.

    And by the way - there are white, Christians who view women in the way you described (it used to be the norm in Western society until you know, Feminism...) and have a tendency towards violence but they aren't "terrorists" no surry bob... they are "lone wolves with mental health issues".

    I'm fairly sure who ever planted the bombs in Warrington and Omagh were white, Irish, Christians from the settled community.

    :eek:
    This thread has descended into nonsense.

    You stuck up a video from his Twitter (it's literally a Twitter link you posted), which he has stated on national TV he didn't run or use.


    it is his verified twitter account. If he decided to hand it over to somebody else that doesnt absolve him of responsibility for what is posted.

    I pay a lot of tax thank you very much. Casey has no answers. He is just a loudmouth spouting what he thinks will get him votes. Unfortunately there are enough idiots willing to fall for that.

    Good so you pay plenty of tax as do I. Do you not care about value for money and the services you receive which are paid for by your tax?
    Money being wasted is rife in this country all the while people who work pay over half their wages towards this wastage, and your ok with that?

    Casey gave a % tax that he pays. The loudmouth spouting what they think will get them votes was surely the SF candidate on the "average wage".

    Casey isnt racist, he probably came from a poor background himself and he made the most of chances given and made a good life for himself.

    He like most normal people cant understand parents pushing their daughters to marry first cousins as soon as the child benefit payment stops.

    He cant understand either why there are so many people on welfare payments when there are plenty of jobs available. The only way welfare people will seek a job is when they can earn more than all individual welfare payments combined. So we up the minimum wage and we get rid of FIS and back to school allowance and free medical cards and all the other benefits people get than working people dont qualify for.

    This is the point Peter Casey was making, now do we let travellers continue on living on the margins and refusing to obey the rules we all live by or do we as a result of the support Peter Casey has got finally shove the Government into action to deal with this part of our community.

    A circle jerk echo chamber ranting that ALL Travellers are drunken scumbags who do nothing but live off the State on other people's property and interbreed and fight and they want rights Ted - fecking RIGHTS.

    But Peter Casey - he'll put it up 'em Ted. Oh yes. He'll drive 'em into the sea like that golf ball - the one the tree hugging, lefty, PC, Liberal, snowflakes were complaining about.

    There are problems within the traveller community and their interaction with settled community, but these problems will not be sorted by presidential candidates whipping up hatred and division.

    It is a dangerous strategy but thankfully it will get very little traction in Ireland. I hope.

    There is a difference between people expressing personal opinions, believe me I have had plenty of conversations with people where I complained about the issues expressed on this thread.

    That is not PC gone mad, it is how modern civilised societies function. This idea of the hard man politician that is going to sort things out is a load of nonsense and doesn't work anywhere in the long run.

    Europe became prosperous after WW2 because co-operation and mutual respect were promoted. It was nice while it lasted.

    I was appalled that a presidential candidate started this type of talk, at a national level. That is not helpful in the long run, and will only be counterproductive.



    Traveller ethnicity is not a problem, there are of course other issue which are.

    Amazing that there has been no new poll published and the election is less than 48 hours away.

    Really inane post.

    The poster has never met a traveller and doesnt have a halting site in her area.

    If she is okay with her taxes going to fix wanton vandalism caused by travellers, eg thousand of euros worth of damage to electricity equipment so traveller can steal a bit of copper then I suggest he or she contact revenue and offer to pay more tax.

    The people who are bitter about paying tax to support able bodied people who are officially on the dole but doing cash jobs in hand can have a refund ifthe SJWS are willing to pay more.

    The SJWs who are happy with uncontrolled immigration of people who dont belong in western civilised society and who never will belong can put up their hands and house these people in their own homes. I . mean put your money where your mouth is. The rest of us are looking at whats happening in Spain and Greece and Italy and we think there is a huge problem with admitting boat loads of males with no education and no skills. We have enough people living off the state already and we dont have the resources to house and maintain hordes from Noth Africa. This isnt racist and its nothing to do with skin colour, we simply cant absorb the huge numbers that want to come to Europe.

    Just a genuine query.

    Those Twitter ads, the dogs one and the one with MDH disappearing.

    Are they really Casey campaign ads or was he hacked?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭tretorn


    Can you post a link to the twitter ads.

    I’ve a feeling there won’t be one either which is quite telling in itself.

    it would take some amount of Andrex to clean up that pile of crap!

    Not to mention the alleged daughter rapist Ortega he invited into his home. I say, alleged, because he invoked his immunity as a member of congress to stop it from going to trial, so we'll never know.

    It has not been hacked as it reiterats his views. He might not run it himself, but somebody on his team is. It would be the most pointless hacking ever ha.

    That is a load of rubbish. When people are losing arguments, they resort to calling others names and posting like this.

    That's what racists have done throughout history.

    Good luck with that.

    Explain exactly what was racist about my post.
