    What does it matter what local knowledge says about Quinn?. Are you suggesting that SF can associate with murderers as long as the victim is a criminal?


    Francie is happy enough with murder so long as it is "authorised" . In fact once Gerry or Slab authorises it it is not really murder at all.

    If local knowledge is correct it validates what Bertie was told, what the IMC says and what Connor Murphy said.
    Peculiar that you want to accept one bit of local knowledge and not another bit.
    Similar to those who accept the allegation that Adams was responsible for Jean McConville's death but not the allegation that she was an informer from the SAME source.

    The murder is still a vicious and terrible act, it was IMO a criminal act. If those who are alleged to have done it are embedded deeply in SF and are directing the party...then there is a problem.

    I don't think they are.

    Papers said 14 people in Derry were in the RA and deserved to be shot once as well jh79...be careful about the papers.

    I suspect he did it, local knowledge said he did, but then local knowledge has things to say about Quinn too.
    Have you got your pencil case and markers ready for school next week?
    You will do well in the remedial class group

    All of you need to work out how YOU comply with the GFA.

    You cannot exclude anymore...neither Unionist, Republican, nor anyone else.
    We agreed as two sovereign countries and as most political parties (except the DUP) to bring people into the democratic fold if they stick to the principles of the GFA,
    I am happy with the official reports that the party I voted for had honoured their commitments when I voted for them.

    I have never said PQ wasn't involved in criminality. If you can find a post that says otherwise quote it. I've always said it was irrelevant.

    Problem is Francie, that as long as the murders are not followed by a letter to An Pobalcht by P O Neil you're ok with that no matter how strong the links to SF party member.

    Is An Phoblacht still a thing? It used be sold every weekend for year.s around the pubs..I can assure you that in almost 60yrs of my life I have never paid for a copy. Although I will admit to having read it a few times out of interest.

    What you point is I don't know.

    My point is how do you know what is an approved murder?

    What is this bullcrap? You supported Sinn Fein IRA all the way GFA or no GFA. If they decided in the morning that one more bomb was required to extort some new advantage you would happily be posting here about it being " regrettable but....." Like you servile support for Warrington sure it might "bring someone to the table" And sure the odd extra murder can always be dodged or denied as "not authorised" or whatever.

    Lies.

    I didn't vote for SF until I was happy that they were living up to their commitments.
    I never supported the IRA, ever.

    I invite all to go into your posting history and decide for themselves who you support and what you are prepared to excuse and justify

    So again, you cannot back up a claim you have made.

    I have consistently said in that 'posting history' that all the violence was wrong and unjustified from the start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭markodaly

    So you condem all their murders, killings, bombings, punishment beatings and their kangaroo courts?

    You really struggle with this. I make no exception. All of the violence was wrong from the start.

    But I'm happy to support promote and justify the party that was responsible for most of it.

    I don't think they are.

    No more peculiar than You referring to IMC reports when they support your position and dismissing them when they are at odds with it.

    Because I am not a hypocrite. I accepted the premise of the GFA and it's goal of bringing people into the democratic fold.

    You would only be creating the same suprematist society by continuing to exclude.
    I am more than happy to vote for them over 20 yeats since tge GFA

    One post ago you stated “I am not a hypocrite”.

    However referencing IMC reports to support your position and dismissing those referenced by other posters is nothing if not hypocritical.

    A society not run and controlled by murderers is not supremacist. Plus no-one has ever been "excluded" - save those murdered by Gerry & Co who are excluded in a most permanent way. And finally its not hypocritical to vote for any of the various other political parties not run by thugs. Many of the other parties also have a good moron representation if that is your thing.

    I only referenced the IMC report because it tallies with what I was told by locals whom I know personally. I said this a long time ago.

    The people who have an issue with it are you & blanch etc. Youse like to cherry pick from sources...for instance, the most bizarre one, believing the former IRA man claiming Gerry was in the 'RA but not the inconvenient bit that J. McConville was an informer.

    The hypocrisy is, inviting people into the democratic fold and then inventing a ceiling they cannot pass. That is exclusion.

    Please quote where I said I didn’t believe J. Mc Conville was an informer.

    When it comes to cherry picking Francie, you are on the top rung of the ladder.
