David Quinn basically b*tching about not being able to go on telly and express his views as a guest without it being part of a debate where both sides are represented.

RTE should sue him for every penny he has.

PopePalpatine · 13-02-2014 03:52PM

Can Marie Fleming's husband sue David Quinn into destitution, please?

I'll go out on a limb and say he's better than that. Unlike Quinn.

That poor women, her students no longer respect her because she is an awful person and now they know that. That's unfair, that's discrimination.

It's practically homophobophobia!

Dafuq is "the chattering class"?! He's wetting his knickers over being labelled and then....

Talk about patronising.

He is vile.

"The liberals need to have a balanced debate...... unless I'm talking!!!"

Anyone else totally not bored of the Panti that keeps on giving?

Me. I love reading about it. It's actually made me a bit more optimistic about this country. We should use it as a blueprint for all progressive issues in future. Cause a controversy that will annoy people out of their apathy.

Its just a right wing slur against well educated, articulate liberals.

Complaining about a lack of balance, Quinn says: Programmes such as the Late late Show featured interviews with women whose unborn babies were found to be fatally handicapped, had gone to England to have then aborted and were campaigning for the right to have those abortions here.

Does he think for a second that having some anti-abortion head on to argue the toss with those women would do his side some good?

How thick is he?

I'm sure he knows it would do no good, and I'm sure in reality he applied no pressure to have people there.

However, THIS article is about playing the victim, to people who already agree with him, so reality doesn't really come into it.

PopePalpatine · 13-02-2014 04:33PM

That's it, I'm going to start calling him the "Mewling Quinn".

I'm sure he had someone lined up to say "My baby had a fatal abnormality and getting to watch her choke to death in my arms was a wonderful special experience that I would never have denied myself and every woman should be made experience the same thing".

iwantmydinner · 13-02-2014 04:39PM

I adore how he thinks that a woman telling her story about her experience of fatal foetal abnormalities in her pregnancy needs some rampant anti-choicer on hand for "balance"

And how a man who watched his partner die a slow, agonising death needs someone like Quinn on hand to tell him what was really right for her

I have heard those people already.

Zillah · 13-02-2014 04:44PM

He says "chattering classes" no less than six times in that one article.

Delirium · 13-02-2014 04:51PM

Does the term "chattering class" not suggest that marriage equality, abortion and secularism are trivial matters? Seeing as those are topics that the "chattering class" are vocal about in his piece. Why is he getting involved in these matters if he views them as trivial??

PopePalpatine · 13-02-2014 05:03PM

Didn't Quinn sue someone (or at least threaten them with legal action) for calling him a "poisonous c*nt" on Twitter?

I'd have sued them too for bringing c*nts into disrepute. :mad:

A vagina - no matter what you call it* - is a beautiful thing.

*Although if you call it a 'foof' or a 'couchy coo' I will laugh in your face.

There was a story last year that he was suing a Trinity student newspaper over comments made about him. Not sure if it ever went to court though.

Ronan Mullen was on the Moncrieff show today. I didn't recognise his voice, thinking "who is this old man?"

He was pleading for sympathy, for people who are viewed as homophobic. The way he twisted it, people don't understand the hurt, felt by people who are labelled homophobic.

Spare a thought for the oppressors please. Really Ronan??

If David think's so poorly about letting terminally-ill adults make up their own minds to end their lives, then I don't need to guess what he'll (possibly) put in print as his opinion on Belgium's decision to enact a law allowing terminally-ill children there to make up their own minds on ending their lives. I can see the heading now: "Stop The Slaughter, Save The Little Children Of Belgium" headlines pinched from 1916 UK newspapers.

Sarky · 13-02-2014 09:43PM

I highly recommend you pop over to Twitter and have a gander at the #IonaSitcoms hashtag. It's one of the top trends in the country right now, and it is really f*cking funny.

These people are used to privileged it is if they have never had anything character building happen to them before.
They are used to being 'liked' and for the wrong reasons.

No one has ever told them they are really really wrong before. They are not used to it.

They are used to a huge degree of deference, privilege and unearned authority.

I honestly do not wish them any psychological pain. But really if you can't stand the heat.

Equality is them hitting planet earth with a bang.

Hearing Buzz O' Neill and David Norris telling people what it felt like to have the **** kicked out of them and saying they were afraid to discuss it because they were worried it would scare young LGBT people into feeling they couldn't come out. And they are right the world never seems more homophobic then when you are young and just about to come to out. ( I know).

David Norris a man who came out because he believed it was the courageous thing to do when the sentence was 10 yrs to life. And he never grovelled. That is character.

I remember David describing a court case in which a young LGBT youth went down for homosexuality. Heartbreaking.

When Buzz O' Neill was attacked last year and I told straight friends their response often was ' what was he doing?' NOTHING HE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE GEORGE .... VERTICAL LIKE... THE ****ING CHEEK! %*$???

Any excuse.

I know a Drag Queen form Northern Ireland who had the guts to walk around in Drag when the British Army were still of the streets just after the troubles. I will never know how he had the courage.

To hold minority views is not the same as to be a minority.

And being a christian does not presuppose being a homophone. Not all of them are biblical literalists.

Probably the people in LGBT who get the most crap are trans people and we still have not been able to hear from them in this debate on the airwaves. It's poor straight christian middleclass people who have hushy lives full of fundraising dosh for being bigots. Moaning about how hard it is to be them.

To be honest whenever you see Ronan Mullen his body language is so dramatic it is hard to miss. It tends to reveal a deep deep discomfort around people he does not like.

My nana never felt self conscious blessing herself. My mother does it.

Maybe Ronan feels self conscious for other reasons.

Any one can test his theory and bless themselves in the street on sat night.

Try kissing someone the same sex as you in the same street on sat night.

See who gets more trouble. I wager not a person says a thing for the former.
You can bless yourself in a gay club anytime you can't kiss your own sex in a catholic church.
And being Christian does not stop you from getting married.

I can't believe I am even being baited into explaing this by his self pity.

lazygal · 13-02-2014 10:44PM

Ronan Mullen will always be the man who told couples who'd shared their heartbreak at having to travel abroad for terminations for fatal foetal abnormalities that they had a wider agenda.

Stay classy, Ronan.
