    Should Fianna Failers be publically insulted or shunned?

    If not now, then when?

    Starting with Bertie and his comic book, who should have cooper coins thrown at his feet whereever he goes (he needs the cash), Cowen should be ignored by all but the die hards, Coughlan cackled, Lenihan laughed at etc

    But even ordinary members, whould feel the wrath of public anger, and asked;-
    1) why they are still in the Party or still support it?
    2) how do they characterise transferring €54,000,000,000 from taxpayers to bond holders, if it is not theft?
    3) How did Ministers expect that limos is the normal way to travel?
    4) Why was FAS allowed spend €1bn on itself when we had full employment?
    5) Can they stand over the fact that nobody gets punished for incompetence or corruption?

    Question them, mock them, sneer, isolate any Fianna Failer you come accross:
    - here
    - pub
    - mass
    - facebook
    whatever.

    If it was fgood enough for the Landlord class of the 19th century, it is good enough treatment for the self-serving class on the start of the 21st.

    It could be a love hate thing, shun us for the economy, hug us for the Peace Process!

    Should hysterical posters who post completely stupid threads be laughed at or jeered, or pitied for having such simple opinions yet failing to be smart enough to keep them to themselves?

    Mocked and jeered is best.

    I thought Bertie, by himself, was 100% responsible for the peace process. The party cannot claim credit too if this is the case.

    We need to lift Irish societies ban on talking about politics in this country.

    Denounce every FF supporter you know as either 'inside the tent' beneficiaries of corruption, 'wannabies' who approve of their reckless behaviour, or stupid diehard loyalists who'd be better off supporting a football team instead of a political party. Remember, simply ask 'Are you corrupt or thick?', and leave it at that. If pressed on the corrupt aspect, ask why two former leaders have been in reciept of huge sums of money, and do they approve?

    I've been criticizing them for years, and very few people will defend them to me now, they're either too ashamed or scared. If everyone anti-FF'er did this, we'd consign them to the dustbin of history in a few years.

    Great idea. Attacking people for their political beliefs is the mature, progressive way to go. Then we can start on the religions we don't like.

    Not attacking for political beliefs.

    Attacking for their acceptance, complicity or agreement with theft and corruption.

    It says much about the people who whinge and moan the loudest that it is all down to money money money money. I vote FF because, despite the applling economic difficulties and the grotesque incompetence of some people within FF, I look around me and I like this country, and I like the part FF has played in making it what it is.

    There was a line by Yeats about greasy tills. We have reached that stage alright. If it helps to make you more tolerant of people with opinions that differ to yours, I'll send you and the OP a tenner each to respect other people.
