Your insinuations of gene pool, etc are just childish attempts to deflect attention from your lot. Your support the party of anti vaxers, anti Semites, 5G conspiracy theorists and now racist honophobes. As Francie would say- own it

Holohan is an ejit but not an admirer of fascists and likely not a racist. Doesn't absolve him but keep context and cut the hypocrisy. Or will you be giving out about O'Leary too? SF policy is on making things better for asylum seekers. Varadkar courted former FG'er Verona Murphy who was looking to create re-education camps. FG policies are more in line with the NP. NP policies go back to FG's roots. Hypocrisy again, will you be listing the FG'er anti vaxxers, the fact FG have history with antisemitism even a TD on record spouting it in the Dail, (Oliver J. Flanagan)? Will you f*** :rolleyes: Own it.

Bowie wrote: » Hold on horse cut the baloney. This is a response to FG'ers dodging criticism. If people are going to try change the discussion to being hypocritical about any other party it should be pointed out. I agree about the phoney outrage. It gets used a lot and plays into my point about hypocrisy. "Irish millennials are disgusted they don't live in America"? People are complex and have complex issues to deal with. I think millennials have it very tough. Buying a house is a dream they may never fulfill. Rent is impossible for some. Global financial crisis and global pandemic. Not to mention ever decreasing benefits and having had to deal with zero hour contracts. Kids, am I right? :rolleyes:

Carmelo Helpless Tenant wrote: » The most privileged generation in history have it tough according to you? You are a caricature of yourself. If you want to start digging up dirt and talking about the history of political parties then you have to face up to the history of SF. So in that context, anything you come up with about FF FG pales in comparison to the **** that SF are up to their neck in and still wading through.
Bowie wrote: » If you are going to ignore most of my comment and take the remainder out of context why should I take your hypocritical diversion seriously? O'Leary is a FG councilor now. Where's the outrage from FG? It's obvious all FG have is attacking the electorate and SF. FG should really examine that.

Carmelo Helpless Tenant wrote: » Is this the manufactured outrage over that tweet. Another example of a millennial trying to wrench something out of context to justify their phoney outrage. Anyone who is capable of tying their own shoes knows that he was referring to SF IRA but you and many other millennials chose to get outraged because the fashion is to call everyone a nazi these days.
