    Clare Daly would have us overrun with terrorists, ISIS expanded because people including military fled as they moved in.

    That Dooley fella is a complete and utter dope. He absolutely knows himself that he is talking utter waffle/shiite.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    So Clare Daly and Mick Wallace could be going to jail for 30 days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    Both Justine McCarthy and Clare Daly have clearly done their research, and are putting the two FG/FF chancers to shame.

    Agreed, both FG/FF politicians appear like simpletons in comparison.

    Let's see Daly tell Francois Hollande he can't bomb those savages, I'm sure he will give her a nice answer.

    Talking through her hoop as usual.

    Savages? You do realise that it will most certainly be ordinary people that they are bombing along with the terrorists who are caught up in the conflict, or don't their lives matter?
    Collateral damage i believe the good old US of A would call them.

    John McGuirk? Is that you?
    So you are telling me, that innocent people aren't caught up in the conflict and bombed/maimed and killed? Or do you just insult people that don't agree with your narrow view of the conflict?

    He is a typical FF waffler! Heard him at the weekend trying to deny that FF had held a crisis
    meeting about Pat Carey. Amazing how they hung him out to dry. No formulaic words re all
    the work he had done for the party and, definitely, no circling of the wagons for him as they did for so many scheisters in the past!

    Pretty serious allegations in his case though.

    Civilian casualties do happen, that's a sad reality of conflict, but ISIS butcher all around them and kill any christian who won't convert and any muslim who opposes them.

    And these are the people Daly wants sitting around a table talking?

    Military action is the only way to get rid of them, an argument can be made that in the past the west made mistakes but we have to look at what is happening now.

    I've seen the pics from inside that building where the concert was and I don't blame France one bit for wanting those responsible dead.

    Yeah, 'mistakes' which ultimately led to the rise of ISIS. Yeah, let's kill hundreds of thousands of civilians again. That definitely won't lead to more extremism. Mistakes happen... civilian casualties happen... It's all perfectly acceptable, as long as they're not white.

    Incidentally, I love the way you say 'we'. Does this mean you're planning on signing up to fight yourself? Or will you just stick to being yet another armchair general, cheering the slaughter on from the sidelines?

    do you think a dovish approach will work ?

    i think they shouldnt be attacking syrian IS bases as it hasnt achieved anything to date

    however , i think the refugee planned programme needs to be changed , the refugees should be diverted to places like turkey but the EU should financially contribute and yes i would be prepared to pay taxes towards such a temporary accomodation measure

    well we cant know that for sure as the charlie hebdoe attacks in january were about printing pics of the prophet so it appears that millitary action in syria isnt the sole cause of these terrorists attacks

    Nope but it certainly doesn't help. America and it's allies (France included) wanted to oust Assad from Syria and supplied money and weapons to various rebels including IS. To quote Malcom X "chickens coming home to roost". Now don't get me wrong Assad is a bastad but better than IS. It looks like Russia's involvement has exacerbated the situation. I don't know the answers but i do know that for every bomb dropped martyrs are created and revenge is on peoples minds. Easy pickings for recruiters and their twisted ideals.

    They have killed more Muslims than Christians.

    They want to take over the world with their ideology like Nazi Germany.

    Whether bombs are dropped or not they will continue.

    Its a lot more complex than wanting to get back at Russia or France.

    That's only a tip of their aims.

    Did American bombs force isis to murder thousands of women and children in Syria and prostitute them?

    interfering in the mid east is not the sole motivation of IS , otherwise they would not talk about slaying infidels who frequent dens of vice etc , same with the charlie hebdoe killings

    anyway , the genie is out of the bottle now , we cant just lie down and allow kids at concerts to be slain just because bush and blair causes mayhem in the mid east , whats done is done

    the refugee planned programme should not go ahead now , it does not have public support , turkey is not at war and is a huge country , a massive fund needs to be put together to house these refugees outside europe for years if need be , this will take a generation to solve but we have enough on our plate with the muslim populations who already live in europe

    self preservation has to count for something

    Why would he or lowry need to go on and be subjected to Brownes loaded questions? They are both a shoo in anyway.

    I know you're a Tipp man but I would be very very surprised if both get in again. Both could well (and should) lose their seats.
    Lowry for being corrupt and Kelly for being naive, arrogant and stupid.

    It could be different this time.The vote will be diluted as the two constituencies are now amalgamated.

    Ask Padraig Nally what he thinks or some of the victims, you want to look around and talk to some of them.

    Ask Padraig Nally what he thinks or some of the victims, you want to look around and talk to some of them.

    The current narrative is of a current rural crime epidemic, the crimes against Nally happened years ago.

    It was interesting hearing Michael Clifford, who's someone I wouldn't put in the urban gang, saying on Claire Byrne Live that the crime rate in urban areas is higher than that in rural areas.

    The Tipp constituencies were always regarded as the national barometer for elections down through the years. You probably won't find an electorate more discerning or not prepared to take crap from politicians anywhere else in the country.

    And yet they still return Michael Lowry.

    Obviously your knowledge of irish politics doesn't extend beyond watching the Vincent Browne show. And if you think that I was gloating then your knowledge of the english language isn't a whole pile better.

    That's what happens in a democratic election popey. Do you have a politician in mind yourself that you would like to impose on the electorate?

    Not all of Tipperary. He was able to get enough votes from his own corner of the county, ie Thurles and Holycross. As one woman said last night it'll be different now that the whole county is one constituency.
