Peter Casey believes Travellers should not be recognised as an ethnic minority

Is this the latest buzzword because you've all finally had to admit that Peter Casey said nothing racist or prejudicial ?

Either way it's just more lefty meaningless nonsense.

You can keep shouting all you like.

The UN definition of racism proves you categorically wrong.

The extreme irony of a Casey supporter complaining about "buzzwords" is noted.

Casey supporters seem to have a congenital inability to do anything else except shout so called "alt-right" (far right) buzzwords.

Enda Kenny was a moronic idiot. He should never have been allowed near the reins of this country let alone make decisions such as this. The man was utterly unsuitable and incompetent. He carried zero gravitas and could only rule with the whip which is a sign of a weak leader.

We really should declare the ethinicity decision a mistake, reverse it and remove it from the books..

Yeah, sure reverse voting rights for women too while you're at it, or something.

Most Casey supporters would probably support that, actually.

Page after page, post after post, you resort to personally insulting people and trying to put them down with these one liners.

It's a sign of a weak argument when you have to resort to that.

On the contrary, I've explained clearly and concisely how Casey and his supporters have engaged in outright racial discrimination, and nit one Casey supporter has been able to rebut the charge, instead resorting to obfuscation, deflection, buzzwords, and the exact sort of abuse you erroneously accuse me of yet are utterly blind to when a Casey supporter engages in it.

Whereas you just called Enda Kenny a "moronic idiot".

Michael D's credibility was significantly damaged in that election and i'm not sure we're done yet. We're still waiting on the expenses. He had his chance to slink off into the sunset but did greed get the better of him ?

Time will tell..

Michael D. Higgins's credibility hasn't been damaged one iota. He's just romped to a second term as President with an increased mandate - receiving 121,000 more votes than in 2011.

It doesn't matter to some people on this thread. Some absolute buffoons on here call you a racist if you say there are problems facing the Travelling community or that you don't consider them as just Irish like yourself.

No they don't.

There isn't a person alive in Ireland who doesn't say the Travelling community have massive issues both within and without.

But well done on confusing that with the actual racism that was spewed out by Casey and his supporters for the last fortnight.

Well done also on confusing nationality with ethnicity. Were you playing ignorant or just helplessly ignorant when you did that?

Presumably you also had trouble distinguishing the ethnicity and nationality of the likes of Paul McGrath, Phil Lynott, Jason Sherlock and Sean Og O'hAilpin?

I bet Wexford hurler Lee Chin would really throw you.

I better not even mention the massive Irish diaspora worldwide. Then things could get very confusing indeed for you.

You get told that if you voted for Peter Casey, you more or less would be advocating taking the vote off women and that you're on par with holocaust deniers or akin the SS.

Who did that?

Again, I have to ask if you're being deliberately ignorant or just helplessly ignorant in saying such?

You do realise that correctly pointing out that Casey and his supporters used the exact same techniques that the Nazis used to vilify the Jews, does not equal calling you a Holocaust denier or akin to the SS?

Have you got anymore hyperbolic nonsense you wish to share with us or perhaps you're all out of imagination for the night?

Oh, and maybe you had your sarcasm detector off with women's voting rights comment? Very touchy, aren't you? Can't you Casey supporters take a joke?

It's all said very much without the tongue in the cheek. Part of me thinks these fcukheads actually believe what they're saying and the other part of me thinks they're ploughing hours worth of posts into nothing but winding people up... I don't know which is worse or sadder.

Perhaps if you kept your tongue sellotaped to the inside of your cheek you'd be more articulate?
