    She wants to ban certain ideologies and education, also wants to promote free speech.

    She wants to ban the HPV vaccine, but also wants to promote pro-life polices, which interestingly enough doesn’t include all life.

    These “pillars” don’t appear very stable. A bit like Gemma and her followers.

    If any Boardsie is there tonight, will you let her know that the farmer down in Kilkenny who cut down the hedges has new ones planted already.
    I'm not sure if these have been funded by Soros or are 5g resistant.

    So Gemma is getting people thrown out of the meeting by security guards that don't appear to be wearing the mandatory ID required by the Private Security Authority;

    So much for Gemma saying she supports free speech

    http://tortoiseshack.ie/anti-corruption-ireland-martin-mcmahon/

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Martin has reported it to the Gardaí since it looks like laws were broken... She was previously on their podcast but they since realised she was a bit of a loon, to give credit to them.

    I have been a guest on their podcast too and they do try to cover all the bases, which is why it is so popular and also one of the best podcasts around. Maybe by having her on it, they were letting more people know what a loon she is.

    They were pretty big fans of hers at the time but her extreme views weren't as apparent at the time. They're pretty open and honest on the topic.

    It's funny seeing Gemma diss Sinn Fein especially since she asked them to nominate her for president.

    I listened to them for the first time when they had Karl Deeter on and while I don't agree with everything they say they do a good podcast and seem to know what they're talking about.

    Oh she did the same with PBP and Soc Dems and she tried to convince Panti Bliss she was a big lgbt supporter. Since then she has viciously attacked PBP and Soc Dems and gone extreme homophobe transphobe. Shes a liar and a hypocrite and a racist bully. See the way she targeted a young child in Ashbourne the other day because she is black.

    She has gone very quiet in twitter/FB after many people pointed out to her the lies contained in the liberals article about Tyrellstown.

    Well they called it 'anti corruption' bit like calling it sunshine and rainbows.

    They did say

    Even when she used to express left-leaning views, before she started cosying up to the far-right, I thought she was a bit... off... to put it mildly. The Mary Boyle stuff, for example. Conspiracies everywhere.

    It's worth noting that the liberal took that photo from a music video.

    There is a post about Isis fighters returning and one lady said "Varadker didn't have a drop of Irish blood in his body". I said well his mother is from Dungarvan in Waterford so he kinda does have some Irish blood. To which she replied "But where was he born". I replied The Rotunda in Dublin. And with that my posts were removed from the thread. And i was being civil. Bit of an echo chamber going on.

    They had her on a year ago and it was a very soft-soap stuff. Didn't challenge her at all on the fact she was retweeting InfoWars etc, by that stage. They've since realised the error of their ways but were happy to champion her for long enough.

    So in other words, Gemma is in the wrong here for reporting on African gang violence, and not the African gangs causing violence. Makes sense :rolleyes:

    "Reporting" lol :rolleyes:

    The liberal made up a story that the people of Tyrellstown are being terrorised by gangs, they are not! There was some trouble a few years ago but there isnt anymore.

    The Liberal posted a picture from 3 years ago that was used for a music video (it was staged for that purpose) and acted as if this was the gang of teens on the rampage.

    Gemma the "reporter" retweeted it, her and that gobsh/te Sherlock are both racist lowlifes and the sooner they have their FB/Twitter accounts shut down the better.

    Now before anyone screams "he wants free speech shut down" i don't! I do want racist lowlifes who advocate violence against people based solely on race/colour/religion to be shut down because there is no place for them in civilised society.

    "I don't agree with Gemma O'Doherty, therefore she's crazy".

    If you read what she writes and listen to what she says and end up thinking to yourself "These are some interesting opinions from someone who is perfectly sane", you might want to get that checked out.

    I get where you're coming from, though. Here you have someone who's for loads of the same things that you are for. She expresses a lot of the same sentiment that you do and you like what she says. She has a high profile and it makes it easier to validate your views.

    There's a small problem though. She has shown herself to be either crazy, deluded or just plain dishonest. It could be all three, I'm not sure.

    At the same time, this luminary is probably the best representative of your views that you can get. If you had to discount her, you'd be left with some freeman of the land type guy in Mullingar who makes youtube videos about how you don't need insurance for your car or some other guy, also on youtube, probably from West Cork, going on about the dangers of fluoridation while he links to his gofundme for a trip to Antarctica to prove the flatness of the earth.

    You've got a small pool of like-minded people there and you can't afford to write off the crazies or else you're left with crazier crazies.

    Meanwhile, the world moves on and everyone else has figured out that she's crazy. Not you, however. If you decided to write her off as crazy, you might need to do some introspection and revisit some of your beliefs and you know that you're not going to do that. You can't afford to write her off as crazy.

    But pretty much everyone else can.

    If she is mentally ill as you say then I'd advise you to check your flagrant abuse of a person with a mental Illness..someone might report you.

    Is it within the rules of this site to laugh, belittle, slander and denigrate those with mental illnesses?

    Accusing political opponents of being 'mental' is of course a tried and tested tactic of the left

    'Political Opponents' being the key term here.

    So which is it - are people bullying someone who has a mental health issue, or are people making up her mental health issues to discredit her?

    You can't have it both ways.

    I don't want it both ways, in fact it is others here who wish to have it both ways.

    I don't believe Gemma is 'mental' as some here put it.

    It should be noted that this term is entirely derogatory.

    If posters here believe Gemma O Doherty is suffering from a psychological disorder then it is advised that they desist from blatantly abusing her due to her (supposed) illness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,995 ✭✭✭Ipso

    Also mental illness does not give anyone license to be go off on racist rants. Or make nonsensical claims that morons lap up. All of this is free to highlight as bull**** and to highlight as bigoted nonsense. Same for her anti-semitic claims.

    She doesn't speak or present like a person with an actual mental illness. But it's disconcerting for rational people to listen to her "crazy" outpourings.
    She's a hateful individual, who is doing genuine harm to people she has targeted with her outlandish conspiracies. She is presenting as homophobic, racist, xenophobic etc. before we even get to her anti Vax views, the anti semite Soros /globalist theory.......
    She's the delusional idiot who put herself forward to be President of this nation, and has ramped up her extreme rightwing bile, so forgive us if we call her crazy.

    Free speech until she censors you or sets her lawyers on you.

    As I said she is a bullying lying hypocrite.

    She links to a load of racist, xenophobic, homophobic guff and rants about nonsensical anti vax rubbish.
    The term is actually LGTBQIQ but then again I think you knew that.
    She may have at one stage had decent and honest journalistic intention but these are long gone.

    I think she flings as much crap as she possibly can at everything in the hope something sticks, I dont think she believes half the stuff she even posts.

    Anti Vaxx is a complete red herring there is no one who actually won't get their kids vaccinated because of Gemma O F cking Doherty
    As for the purported homophobia - it is intemperate but her perception rightly or wrongly is that a shadowy cabal of the international super rich are for reasons of their own trying to trick people into being gay; as such she would be very remiss if she did not call attention to this cabal!

    She is not against homosexuals and lesbians per se but rather she is against those who trick straight people into being gay.
