Why did Michael D Higgins get a free ride in the media?

    Michael D, the politician who complained that Hamas was deemed a terrorist organisation by the EU:
    Deputy Michael D. Higgins: Several questions immediately arise from the Minister of State’s response. …Does he agree that the credibility of the European Union is badly damaged by, in the first instance, the clearing house decision that added Hamas to a proscribed list, with no accountability to this Parliament or any parliament in Europe, and, following that, its failure to recognise the result of the election, which was acknowledged as free and fair by several international bodies, including the Carter Centre? All we had from the EU was a mealy-mouthed statement expressing gratitude that no lives had been lost in the course of the election. It is absolutely absurd to suggest it is dealing with all the parties. What contact has the EU with Hamas?

    His support of Shell to sea.

    His support of communist regimes in central America.

    His anti-American views.

    Why did the media give this man who could be our next president such an easy time?

    to be honest if they brought all that stuff up, five out of the other six of them would have to get off the podium and go home. It would be a two horse race.

    where exactly are the communist regimes in South American tho?
