Here’s another good laugh while we are all in the Friday spirit…..wait for it……….
“Gerry was never a member of any such organisation”!

ISIS targets innocent civilians indiscriminately, based on self-righteous fanaticism, taking no account of democracy, human rights or common decency. PIRA/SF on the other hand… eh…

Gerry is a peaceful man.
The only beheading that he does is when he heads out to his local..

If he wasn’t in the PIRA then why wasn’t he in it, he was persuading others his age to join them and constantly making excuses for their actions. He was no ordinary civilian.

Jaysus Adrian if he was in it you give out and if he wasn’t in it you give out! Which is it/

Ha. That awkward moment when you realise you are now extreme left wing, a vehement water protester, and suddenly a born again liar or active denier of anything bad Gerry Adams….

Diarmuid, using the tag “PIRA/SF” just shows that you seem to be stuck in the same time warp as ISIS. If you ever get back (or even move forward for that matter) to the 21st century let us know.

thats his answer to everything, I am/was not a member.

“he was persuading other his age to join”? Really, that would have been a crime and he would have been arrested for it. He has never been arrested for that or anything else!

That’s right Adrian, he was a political activist, he grew up in what was virtually an apartheid state and struggled against injustice for most of his life, he could have just rolled over and accepted it but he didn’t!

That’s right Adrian, he was a political activist, he grew up in what was virtually an apartheid state and struggled against injustice for most of his life, he could have just rolled over and accepted it but he didn’t!

The fact that Adams is incapable of telling the truth makes him illegible to become leader of this nation.
Was Rabbite right?
Do we, like gullible virgins, want to be lied to by saavy political alpha males? Do we want to believe their lies and let them use us as they will?
Or are we grown ups? Do we respect straight speaking, honesty and integrity.
It would seem by popular polls and the fabricated accounts of Gerry Adams, Kenny and Aherne that we are a nation of gullible juveniles – incapable of making grown up decisions for ourselves.

Only the people can decide that despite dark influences in the guise of the brindependent.

First class, Séamus!

I think most of you have forgotten if you ever knew what it was to live in the north when practically the first question on any job application was “what religion are you” and if you answered Catholic most of the decent well paid jobs were closed to you.
To add insult to injury the B-Specials (if you don’t know who they are, google them) would come round every so often and break every window in the house and terrorise the occupants. If they were really cracking down those going 60 work sometimes weren’t sure when they left the house that they’d get back in one piece. I know because relatives of mine were refugees from Antrim in the 60s.
The one time Captain O’Neil even mentioned power sharing the Unionists went on strike and made all sorts of threats till power sharing was taken off the table. Then there was the Civil Rights March to Burntollet Bridge and the rest, as they say, is history.

On the other hand Diarmuid the IRA were fighting against an apartheid state where one side of the community were brutalized and other side was supported by the British government and eventually by fine gael and the independent newspaper group. Catholics need not apply, Catholics cannot vote and if you protested your house was broken into by the authorities and you were arrested without charge, just like it was in South Africa and the way it is today where the Palestinian people are being abused by the jewish state of israel. History is obviously not required when you make a comment Diarmuid

Adams is not the only one with copyright on inability yo speak the truth in Dáil Éireann. “Not a red cent”, “it is immoral to tax a man (or woman’s) home” etc, etc.

Brian Ward, you’re has hilarious as Gerry. PIRA and SF were two sides of the same coin. Armalite and ballotbox. You take up historical revisionism as a hobby?

@Paul Lane. There was huge inequality, which was generally resolved by the ’80s in NI. It didn’t need two more decades of PIRA/SF murdering innocent men, women and children with zero mandate from the nationalist people.

In between hiding sex offenders in the south!!!

He grew up in a state where he could have done whatever he wanted, go wherever he wanted. Blacks in SA didn’t have those rights so how it can be described as an Apartheid state is beyond me. Adams and people like him made the nationalist communities more deprived than the unionists or the British ever could have.

Mick
You left out the usual advice that if we have any evidence that Gerra was in the IRA we should report it to the Gardai!

Hiding under the bed maybe. Let others do the dirty work.
In similar circumstances, others have been called either liers or cowards.
Wouldn’t apply to the brave Jarry of course

Jopmarsy
Adams grew up in an environment that allowed thugs to obtain weapons and develop functional IEDs and wage war against people of the Protestant faith in a sectarian conflict that resulted in thousands of deaths and many more maimings.
Young Protestant males were murdered along the Border for no other reason other than to see their lands move into Catholic hands.
The economic damage caused by this sectarian conflict was so enormous it makes the current National debt look puny by comparison.
And all for what……..with the Union more firmly established than ever before with Adams supporting it and Sinn Fein with its Military Wing now helping Her Majesty to administer the Privince.
PS I don’t have anything complimentary to say about the Loyalist side either.

Or he could have joined the SDLP

That Seamus, is genius, pure and simple.

Mary, it’s funny, every time Adams alleged IRA membership comes up, people try to explain why young men in the north might have felt the need to join up and why it might have been justified. I have no issue with that, in fact I do understand why people joined up at the time.

That’s not the point when it comes to Adams though. The point is that Adams denies he was ever in the IRA. So the question for everyone is, do you believe him?

Comment of the century!!!! I made my OH jump when I saw this :-)

Sean, was this the same Pat Rabbitte who admitted to lying during election campaigns? Are you seriously using him as a role model?

He couldn’t do anything he wanted, couldn’t get proper housing or jobs, gerrymandering was rife, Catholics were second class citizens in their own country, it was a Protestant state for a Protestant people, but not anymore!

Where were you hiding Brendan?

Wouldn’t have been any war if there had been no discrimination, a lot of Catholics were murdered by Protestant thugs, just thought I would mention that as you forgot to, the Catholics will be the majority within the next 3 years and they will decide if Northern Ireland remains in the UK.

@Jopsmarshy. Indeed. The SDLP did a great job achieving equality by democratic means, while SF/PIRA, with no mandate, murdered innocent men, women and children.

@mary. It may surprise you to learn Mary that most of us in ROI do not come from Norniron. In fact the biggest irritant in our lives is having to put up with the consequences of your community’s “pot calling the kettle black bullshit”
Just to be clear, most people really don’t give a s**t about the North.

Speak for yourself there Mr. Palmer. Out of interest I hope you have no plans to celebrate the 1916 centenary because the signatories would turn in their grave if they heard your attitude towards the North.

A lot of Catholics were murdered by Protestant thugs, fair enough. A lot of Catholics were also murdered by Catholic thugs, a lot of protestants were murdered by Catholic thugs too.

Catholics will be the majority in the next 3 years?? If you think this comes down to a simple sectarian headcount then you are naive beyond words. Clutching at straws in typical republican fashion.

@Justin have you proof Gerry was leader of the IRA?why didn’t you go to the RUC or PSNI because they’ve been looking for proof since the 70′s

Yes Glen, I get that, do you not get that he’s making a joke on his other claim not to have been in the IRA. I know the subtleties would be lost on you glen!

Oh Norman, you are letting yourself down now, stick to the water will you cause you’re only going to look daft if you start defending Adams.

Glen you beggar believe!

Justin I’m not defending Gerry I’m just curious to what proof you had of Gerry’s leadership of the IRA.Also why didn’t you inform the northern police?

The PIRA has probably killed more people than ISIS at this point.

Do you have proof he wasnt?

Sarge I think you’ll find the burden of proof is on the accuser.

Yes Norman, the British negotiated with him in the 70′s because of his vast experience as a “barman” now don’t be annoying me with trite nonsense about Adams not been a senior IRA commander.

Justin so no proof then just your own opinion , okay so.

Justin btw i never said he was or wasn’t a member.You really should read a comment before you reply,helps to prevent silly responses.

Justin
I have never voted SF but I’m going to in the next election just to annoy you.

SF logic = Adams is innocent because he was never convicted in a court of law (which we never recognised) in a state (we never recognised).

Norman in your opinion, why do you think the British negotiated with him in the 70′s when he wasn’t even a leading figure in SF at the time? Simple question, what do you think, can you answer without going off on a tangent.

Justin for whatever reason , he had the ear of the IRA and that helped bring about peace.As to his membership he has denied it and despite the best efforts of British and Irish law enforcement it at the moment remains unproven.
Now as I said if you have proof give it to those that require it .

Awe, good for you Glen! great way to decide how to vote, you make this a better world.

“for whatever reason” ’nuff said.

Lance Armstrong was never convicted of doping.

@ Justin: “why do you think the British negotiated with him in the 70′s when he wasn’t even a leading figure in SF at the time? ”

Justin, Adams became vice president of SF ‘in the 70s’, can you link to evidence that the british were negotiating with him prior to this?

‘For whatever reason ‘is all I can say unlike you I don’t make assumptions. I’m not privy to the decision making process of the British authorities or their reasons for dealing with Adams.

Were jamming, no interest in arguing with a dyed in the wool shinner like your self. Blinded by the light of Gerry.

Sorry Justin, this isn’t RTE or the indo. If you’re going to pull statements out of your h0le that you can’t back up, you’ll be called on it.

So it’s Friday, which is always great, best part of the weekend, in a great mood, and then I see the the bitter crywank sad acts frothing over a joke, and I’m like, this is gonna be a great weekend! Diarmuid, Justin and Sarge, I owe yee one.

#diarmuid
and you know this or just more spouting b/s?

He’s being labelled a terrorist for being a terrorist. It’s quite simple.

How did you type that with your cock in your hand?

Sarge, you don’t prove a negative, back to school lad!!

@Mick. Yeah I know Lance Armstrong was never convicted of doping. And I know Gerry Adams was never convicted of being a PIRA leader.

Green thumb for you Glen. First for me!

But he Lance Armstrong has admitted to doping.

Yep, after he denied the accusations of his friends and people he worked with for years. Sound familiar?

In Northern Ireland there are countless examples of innocent people being shot indiscriminately by the British Army – but they are not terrorists – they’re the “army” …

And Jarry never tells a fib. Squeaky clean boy that he is….

@Norman. When you are in bed with GSOC Whitehall makes certain that you have the best quality teflon….

ISIS have killed 5,500 civilians in Iraq alone in the last year; the IRA killed 621 civilians in almost twenty five years. Hardly comparable.

Do you also find grammatical accuracy as a “nonsense”?

ISIS don’t do blinding just beheading.
Comparing Water protesters with a blood thirsty religious group was appalling. The TD in question ,if he had any morals would realise the honourable thing to do would be to resign.But I referred to a TD so no honour,no resignation.

Rónán Duffy, would you please explain exactly what you mean by your comment….

“That clears that up, anything else we should know Gerry?”

Because to me it seems like a very poor attempt at humor, or just plain simple sh.it stirring by someone that is intellectually unable to come up with a viable a story..

Yes! But shhhh! Don’t tell the infidels!

Niall have you seen what they do to women that they capture? The sell them as slaves. They encourage sexual violence as a weapon of war. You on the other hand seem to think that it is a viable weapon of politics.

BTW….What are ye Fine Gaelers doing for the 1916 terrorist commemorations in Dublin – are ye all going to it – to stand an salute an all?

Oh wait – sorry- that was in black n white an therefore ‘good’ terrorism!

@padraic probably stay in (or under) the bed just like “he who was never a member of the IRA” obviously did when his community was being attacked . Because if he wasn’t a member, what was he doing? Perhaps GCHQ knows….

Adams does be as cool as a cucumber! I’d say yer man Kenny has many a sleepless night over Gerry.Not long now Kenny,the people are awake.

What a silly comment Brendan. I think you forgetting the fact that Adams and his party were instrumental in bringing peace to the North.

What a childish comment – recycling the auld Fine Gael nonsense.

Wuhooooo Scooter, we are so lucky to have Jarry bringing us peace. What would we have done without him and his ilk? Give me a bucket….

To answer your question, we’d have done what we did for decades before: abandoned nationalists in a two tiered, gerrymandered, sectarian society.

In the same way Fine Gael turned a blind eye to rape in industrial schools for 50 years.

No Niall, they actively encourage sectarian acts of brutal rape and violence against women. You’re an idiot.

Seriously? What have you been taking this morning?

Gerry will share power with them and call it a victory?

We don’t like ISIS, we don’t like the IRA and we don’t like SINN FEIN.
And we don’t trust Gerry Adams or any of them for that matter.
Get in the bin all four of you. You belong together.

Who this we pale face ?.. Speak for yourself…. Love ya big G

Kevin – When you say we don’t like Sinn Féin. Who’s we?

We?

Kevins a Fianna Fail man. So, although the ‘we’ in his comment don’t like or trust the IRA, his former party leader was happy enough to try supply them with weapons back in the 70s.

Kevin who is the ” we” in your post, have you a big white rabbit called Harvey sat beside you???

@Martin Byrne. The 90.1 percent of the people who didn’t vote for SF in 2011 don’t like you. You are not the biggest party in Ireland, you got 9.9% of the vote where it matters and no amount of RTE supported spin can change that fact

Brendan – Let’s see in the next election :)

@Martin Looking forward to it…..

Kevin, I see that you are having some problems with pronouns. For future reference, the first-person, personal pronoun is ‘I’.
