The Pat Kenny Show

Tell me how

Michael Healy-Rae on speaking about the adjustment to drink driving penalties this morning.

He actually spoke a lot about the alternatives to alcoholic drinks and suggested that the companies needed to continue to develop the range available.

Trump, Trump is bad m'kay? And if you vote for Trump you're bad because Trump is bad m'kay?

That's right. Because of an immigration crisis in 2014 that saw far greater numbers trying to enter the US illegally than is the case now. Trump's hyperbole has convinced the easily swayed and those looking for things to confirm their bias that what's happening now is unprecedented. It's not.

But I can blame Trump for the standardising of the separation of children from their parents. Because when I say...

It's the 'children torn from their mothers' part that I'm suggesting is an issue rather than the 'camps'.

I know, but at least it would be somewhat applicable.

Either way, think the statements are being made to provoke an argument.

People are only short of blaming Trump for the Iraq war, and faking the moon landing at this stage.

On Trump being anti-jewish. It seemed without the pressue of his family his comments would have been much weaker in condeming what happened.

New York Times

It took the importuning of Mr. Trump’s Jewish daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, to craft a powerful statement of outrage at anti-Semitism after Saturday’s mass shooting in Pittsburgh

On Hilary, is it not the case, that she made the comment glibly in response to the interviewer mixing up two individuals to indicate that that is a common narrative which exists in some quarters as opposed to stating that this was her view? Context is key.

I think also given that one is the president of America and was being discussed in relation to a topic where 11 people were killed is self-explanatory in why it was being discussed by Pat this morning.

If Trump has said that about black people - cities across America would be burning right now..

Again, context.

If trump had said it, I bet he'd have done so in a different context.


(probably because he was hoping that cities would see violence in fact)

Faugheen

People's quickness to defend Trump using the same out-of-context, whataboutery rhetoric that Trump himself uses is quite alarming around here.

Oh, and the constant references to Hillary.

Trump won over 2 years ago lads, stop talking about Hillary.

Doubt it. I think he was spot on when he said "I could shoot someone and I wouldn't lose any voters". And that during his campaign in '16.

Still the "wah-wah Hillary" wagon trundles on. I'm no fan of hers but what she said needs to be taken in the tone and manner she said it: And it was the opposite of racist. But an unfortunate quotable line all the same and something Trump supporters will twist and jump all over.
But even a halfhead knows that it's a disingenuous reaction.

But Trump could say that and worse and there'd be no burning cities. He's pushed the norms for presidential decorum so far out that there's an acceptance of his behaviour but everyone else still has to stay within the parameters of accepted and expected norms.

I think that's all PK does really. He goes back in time to all of 2 years ago and holds the present President's actions and behaviour up to the actions and behaviours of past Presidents.

If an ex first lady and political has-been is going to have every flippant throw away line jumped all over surely an actual ****ing president should.

Pat gave a masterclass in interviewing just now with Lynda La Plante, disarmed her and we heard the real person warts and all give a frank and funny account of her trials and tribulations throughout her career.

Another Peter Casey character assassination squad rolled out on national airwaves.

Pat having to jump in to challenge the lies being told by the political panel about Peter Casey .

And lies about Trump

DeadHand

The discussion pretty much encapsulates everything wrong with the Irish media.

Plain lies and inaccuracies, like that woman trying to blame Trump for the Pittsburgh shooting, she had to be told by Pat (who is making some attempt at balance, in fairness) that the shooter openly dispised Trump.

And then Casey. Predictably enough, the panel is fully stacked with firmly anti-Casey “progressivists”, I and the other 300 odd thousand members of the public who voted for Casey on the strength of his comments and principled stand thereon are, once again, not represented.

The immensely smug man on the panel managed, of course, to inject the word “racist” into the Casey “discussion” thereby proving his breathtaking ignorance of Casey’s comments, the English language or, more likely, his own rank dishonesty. He insulted all the people who suffer and have suffered historically from racism in doing so.

Said self-regarding dick proceeds to bemoan his lack of a right to reply to his ideological opponents and their attempts to rip away his platform... On national radio... On the flagship radio programmers of one of the nation’s largest broadcasters... Totally unchallenged...

At this point I switch off, I doubt I’ll be switching on again for some time.

In fairness to Pat he has put across the Casey voters point of view a number of times this week without qualifying every other word. He's the only broadcaster I've heard do this.

There's no balance on these panels in general but today was really taking the biscuit. That thicko from the inner city masquerading as a politician gets way too much airtime. Chap has never had an original thought in his life.

They're in for a shock come the next GE.
