GAA need to step up

Nah, it is the (your culture) organised systemic hatred, bigotry and sectarianism getting higher and higher each year that the world sees and is concerned about.

I think the 11th night will now get a Commission to regulate it btw, They won't do it themselves so somebody will have to step in like they did with the parades.

What about Sean South makes you think he was "great"? South was a fascist terrorist and a rabid hater of Jews. In any place that would be very bad but in Limerick, which has a notorious history of driving out Jews, it's worse again.

Seán South was born in Limerick, where he was educated at Sexton Street Christian Brothers School, later working as a clerk in a local wood-importing company called McMahon's.[citation needed] He was a member of a number of organisations, including Clann na Poblachta (who he worked for during the 1948 election), Sinn Féin, the Gaelic League and the Legion of Mary.[2] In Limerick he founded the local branch of Maria Duce,[1][2] a rabidly conservative and anti-Semitic Roman Catholic organisation led by Father Denis Fahey, where South also edited both An Gath and An Giolla. While not a formal member, South is also suggested to have been associated with the fascist Ailtirí na hAiséirghe political party, whose members he met through the Irish language organisations Craobh na hAiséirghe and Glún na Buaidhe, which coexisted and cooperated with Ailtirí na hAiséirghe.[3]

He had received military training as a lieutenant of the Irish army reserve, the Local Defence Force, which would later become An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil, before he became a volunteer in the Irish Republican Army.[1]

Being a member of An Réalt (the Irish-speaking chapter of the Legion of Mary),[4] South was a devout Catholic and a conservative, even by the standards of the day.[5] It was at a meeting of An Réalt that he met his only serious girlfriend, Máire de Paor. She was a schoolteacher from Limerick and was a great lover of the Irish language.[6] He was also a member of the Knights of Columbanus.[7]

In 1949, South wrote a series of letters to his local newspaper, the Limerick Leader. These letters condemned Hollywood films for what South regarded as their immoral messages. South accused these films of promoting a "stream of insidious propaganda which proceeds from Judeo-Masonic controlled sources, and which warps and corrupts the minds of our youth."[8][9] South also claimed that the American film industry was controlled by "Jewish and Masonic executives dictating to Communist rank and file."[8] In his letters, South also denounced Irish trade unions, and praised the activities of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the United States.[9] In other writings in later years, South quoted material from A. K. Chesterton, a member of the British Union of Fascists and the founder of the League of Empire Loyalists, which later merged with British National Party in 1967 to become the National Front.[3]

OK, so I see what you've done there. You've minimised anti-Semitism while playing at whataboutery (for the record I thoroughly agree that NI Loyalism has a serious problem with sectarianism - but that's not the issue here).

I asked you what was great about the fascist terrorist Sean South - you referred to him as "a great man". You haven't answered.

I suppose that would be in keeping with your record of posting thinly veiled pro-Putin propaganda on the Russia thread.

The simple fact is that as long as the GAA continues to glorify fascist terrorists like Sean South, Nazi sympathisers like Dan Breen and propagandists for slavery like John Mitchel, they haven't a leg to stand on when they object to Loyalists doing abhorrent things like mocking Michaela McAreavey, it's the purest hypocrisy.

If you refuse to get your own house in order, it's rich to then complain when others don't.

I agree with your last sentence. Loyalists should get their own house in order before taking to twitter to complain about others.

Who would want to celebrate Sean South given full knowledge of what he was?

Justin Barrett and his ilk?

You could ask that question of so much of what is celebrated across these islands and the world.

A lot of hot air there.

How was South a great man? He was a fascist anti-Semite and a terrorist who went out to murder.

People have all sorts of deluded beliefs. Lenny Murphy thought he was right, that he was fighting for his people. Does that make Lenny Murphy a great man?

It's pretty clear South subscribed to actual genocidal ideology, which you can't say about Connolly.

That you think somebody who subscribed to genocidal ideology was a great man helps to explain a lot about you and your thinly veiled pro-Putin propaganda on the Russia thread. South and Putin would have been bedfellows in terms of Christofascist ideology.

It's from that ideology that we got the Nazis and Russia's genocidal war against Ukraine. And it's where South came from too.

Sean South was the textbook definition of a fascist. You have chosen to deny that he was.

Given that and given your consistent thinly veiled pro-Putin propaganda on the Russia thread, we can see full well what sort of a person you are and what sort of extremist beliefs you have.

You're a Putin fanboi and quite obviously have no intention of doing anything other than spouting extreme right wing US culture war style propaganda.

I have better ways of spending my time than responding to industrial strength nonsense, thanks.

OK Justin Barrett.

the GAA does not glorify terrorists, fascists or other similar types of individuals, therefore they can complain when loyalist extremists mock an innocent victim.

the poster has not minimised anti-semitism in any way, but has simply stated that your claim of driving out jews is not correct in the way you have framed it.
