Gerry Adams on RTE PrimeTime--29-05-13

LordSutch

The IRA in all its various guises = the curse of this island for far too long. With Adams as the Führer of the Provisional brand of terrorism, not that he could ever admit that he was at the helm, as he would be up for soo many murders/atrocities that he would be locked up for good (and the current Republican family would split), possibly resulting in all kinds of turmoil among the various factions, past & present.

O the laugh I'm going to have during the 100th anniversary of 1916, watching the steam come off your posts.....

Surely, if guilty, at most he'd serve two years.
And the IRA is a symptom, the disease is British interference in Irish affairs.

The best tactic the British government has used against the Irish is propaganda, this thread shows that, what a powerful tactic

It's funny the British never figured on that one when they couldn't defeat the IRA any other way, legal or illegally. Arrest the person everyone 'knows' is the leader.
You wouldn't have to a winner of Mastermind to work out that the smart thing to do when running on a dual mandate would be to keep different people at the head of the separate strands.

The worst tactic terrorist apologists have used is suggesting everyone who disagrees with them is an idiot.

Indeed. It lumps everyone together and gives them a feasible excuse whether they deserve it or not.

I've never seen the need to apologise for 'terrorism' as I don't believe they where terrorists. The British said they ould NEVER negotiate with terrorists, in fact they said it 3 times, 'Never, Never, Never'. S the IRA could not have been 'terroists.
I think it is you with the labelling problem.

Loving the logic there happy. As a corollary did you know pirates prevent global warming? source.

What can I say? I just find this desire to to give names to things dependent on pre determined definitions. It's weird.

Though no where near as weird as saying this friendly bunch weren't terrorists while on the same breath claiming [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_IRA]this[/URL] even more bunch are.

Problem is Iwasfrozen, is that you are brainashed one, if the British called them 'neon Elephants', so too would you. But ultimately, you and those who allowed themselves to be led by British propaganda, are the patsies, as the British did the deal with them, leaving you now struggling to accept your manufactured boogiemen and women as the people with the power. Maybe one day you might see that and won't get fooled again.

Funny you should say that because I see you the same way. Brainwashed from a young age during history lessons you took an interest in the subject and began your own research as you got older. Problem is you fit all this new found knowledge into the pre conceived notions installed in you since child birth. The them and us mentality. No doubt your family was republican too. Children are a sponge for this kind of thing.

And why do you mention terrorists in power? I'm from the south there are no terrorists over me.

I'm not the one all over this forum defending a point of view that is straight out of British Government Foreign Affairs circa 1985. Even they have changed their views of what happened and now embrace everything that the IRA fought for, an end to the suprematist Unionist state and a United Ireland when the IRISH themselves decide.

And why do you mention terrorists in power? I'm from the south there are no terrorists over me.

I didn't mention 'terrorists in power'.
