    They are all pretending.
    Like Mairead McGuiness who voted to restrict our freedom on the internet. You have to be clueless to do that.

    The Copyright Directive debate is one I am not sure how I feel about.

    I own creative content on the net that is constantly ripped off, subtly and blatantly.

    There are arguments for and against it, and we will see how it goes and if it protects somebody like me.

    'Freedom of the internet' never existed. 'Freedom to steal on the internet' has.

    So, it is proven that Casey has form in using Twitter and social media to have a pop at other contestants in elections so you deflect to something else?? :D:D

    How is it proven? As above I think someone else is running his account. I wouldn’t imagine he’s very au fait with social media as he has had no footprint on it before the elections

    I posted the links.
    The buck stops with him as it would with anybody else.

    If it was hacked then it is also his responsibility to do something about it. And he clearly hasn't as he is looking for dirt on others in this election too.

    INo way was a random staff member tasked with twitter management was online at that hour as well as making the very basic mistakes of 1st tweeting to a parody, unverified account and 2nd replying to tweets that were 6 years old. Those basic mistakes scream technologically challenged person of an older age.

    And evidently not twigging it for such from the bit about, ahem, providing a personal service to a guard.:eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭pinkyeye


    He's obviously given up the ghost and taken to the drink today, so far he's insulted the lesbian candidate by saying she's not his type and shamed Luke Ming by posting pictures of the inside of his filthy car.

    If this is the quality of candidate that some folk want representing Ireland in Europe ye need your head examining.

    He's a complete embarrassment.

    No worries I will definitely vote for him.

    Me too.
    Imagine an Irish politician wanting to put Irish taxpayers first. Crazy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,503 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    No worries I will definitely vote for him.

    Was going to vote for him but you would need to be a kind of unfixable stupid to claim to be a racist and then to reaffirm it

    I'd vote for him simply because he has offended so many jumped up little PC Nazis.

    Indeed it is on the increase. What’s the big issue it’s when actual acts of racism come to the fore does it become a problem... given the right environment, and we are going the right way about it.

    Or perhaps people agree with him,as is thier right in a democracy.

    Ha. Funnily enough I don't vote for left leaning politicians because they upset right wingers. I try to vote for the person who would get as much for ireland whilst serving as an MEP. And i never vote for politicians who look to divide and pit people against each other.

    A society with a festering racist undercurrent, boiling over ever more? Now how might that come about.

    That is a snipoet of something he said, do you have the whole speech?
    Like he might have said something like that he is a racist in the eyes of the liberal Nazis just after that cut out.
    How do we know it's even real? It's easy to make up a video of anybody saying anything these days.

    He said something along the lines of he cares about
    the interests of Irish people before or more than people from somewhere else

    If that's racism I'm also a racist

    You see this line here says that you are not happy about it but you don't want to disagree with the party you support which is quite obviously Fine Gael. I haven't even looked to see if you have ever admitted that but it's become quite clear in this thread.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,707 ✭✭✭Bobblehats


    People do realise they’re giving way to a situation where it’s becoming a badge of honour right?

    ..why else would peter declare it whilst out on the campaign trail. Put it together; you’re breeding an environment for it and turning irish people toward the dark side. I was the most avid anti-racist in my youth but then I never realised it’d become our last line of defence

    Now that is hilarious. Best laugh I've had today. Francie has been accused of some **** but never being a FG supporter.

    It will soon get to the stage if you eat a black jack or a packet of maltesers you will be branded a racist.

    Can we stop pretending this clown is some kind of hero just because he said some disparaging comments about Travelers now?

    I think he’s shocking. Though I admit I voted for him in the Presidential out of a protest. Since then he’s actually gotten worse as a media performer, really bad. Hasn’t the first notion how the EU works and couldn’t be bothered finding out. I think he comes across extremely lazy. Even his stance and gait in the tv debates looked ridiculous. Slouching and staring like an idiot.,
    And Ming and Carthy aren’t a whole lot better tbh

    That's not the point, there was no need for him to say what he said, shows he has a serious lack of nous, imagine how redicolous he would come across in the EU Parliament, the man is incoherent and inarticulate to an astounding degree

    How he is a millionaire is a true mystery, I don't think he is a racist by the way, just a walking brain fart

    This is what I wonder about the Casey support. How many of those who protested then would be prepared to give him a vote now?

    Why would anyone say anything disparaging about travellers?

    Grand bunch of lads and law abiding pillars of the community to a man.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭pinkyeye


    What I find hilarious is the lack of supporters now claiming that he's going to romp home with this one.

    I wonder why???

    His twitter account regularly gets about 4 likes. That's FOUR, as compared to thousands that the other candidates get.

    I'm so glad he has been exposed as a charlatan and an idiot and it's really going to show up tomorrow.

    They are all bluffers, when are you going to cop on to that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,053 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Also anybody that likes a little privacy in their lives doesn't have a social media account. Lots of people who have their own views on things are not on social media accounts. Social media as in Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat or whatever it's called is not real life, it's the place where the stupid have a collective strong voice.
    People who live in the real world instead of having their heads stuck in a phone or tablet all day are looking around and seeing a lot of what Casey is talking about.
    I don't think Casey is a great candidate, a younger, smarter more polished person would be great doing what he is. Thing is he is a voice for a lot of things that people are being warned not to say by the liberal Nazis and as such he will get a lot of votes.

    We know there are people who have irrational attitudes to immigrants and we know there are people who hate travellers. How would we know these things if there were 'liberal Nazis' at work?

    Strikes me that 'liberal Nazis' are not very good at what they are doing...like Mr Casey.

    He couldn’t, he’s had a terrible lacklustre campaign where he’s been largely absent and irrelevant. The outburst these last few days about immigration and Brexit were cringe inducing. Perhaps we do need a stricter work permit system and welfare restrictions but his delivery is atrocious- no link made to being an MEP and how he’d actually influence that. I think there’s very little behind him, no substance or deep intellect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,397 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger



    Reading his replies to that just shows how absolutely out of his depth he is, he has no clue about any of the complexities around brexit or simply being a member of the eu and the benefits that brings


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,542 ✭✭✭✭road_high



    No he just doesn’t understand the Eu and isn’t arsed finding out anything. He’s lived years in America and might as well have lived under a rock as far as this election is concerned

    If you call people who dislike cheap labour moving into their locality forcing local workers to take lower pay or lose their jobs irrational then you live in lalaland.
    People are upset by this stuff and also by the amount of eastern Europeans involved in crime in rural Ireland.
    If you don't understand or realise the amount of people who have been affected by traveller crime in the counties of Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Galway, Roscommon and Longford then you need to go and look at what has been going on in those counties.
    Strikes me that 'liberal Nazis' are not very good at what they are doing...like Mr Casey.
    Liberal Nazis are causing a lot of problems. Pent up anger is building up in a lot of people, it's very worrying.

    I live in the heart of rural Ireland and there are many problems that people who 'actually work' in those communities have no problem addressing and talking about.
    The biggest problem in rural Ireland I find are those who sit on various fences, criticise every initiative and resolutely refuse to get involved...but will be the first to whinge if an initiative fails.

    They exist in your head. Traveller crime has been talked about for years in the media.
