As in the case of Lee over last two days the answer to the challenge is deafening silence. Sneering and smearing FF is okay but a little gentle retaliation makes the self-righteous not only uncomfortable but dangerously unstable
    Perhaps if your contributions had more substance than defending Fianna Fáil as the one true church, who are above all criticism, and denouncing those who dare to oppose or criticize them as heretics/traitors, you might actually get a bit more respect around here.

    Of course it's a joy for an FF supporter to see Lee walk off the pitch making himself and FG look like fools. But it ceases to be funny or relevant after your 20th post restating the same thing. Please cease posting mindless cheerleading, and try to be somewhat more objective. Otherwise, you're going on my ignore list.

    Putting on my physco-babble hat, I think you may be a bit fustrated and need to get a little action.
    Maybe then you will see everything in a new light.
    Hell you might even leave your pubescent insults and ramblings behind you.

    I just love when ff members/supporters label others as failures, it takes irony to new levels.
    I would say the decision yesterday by the Loyds Group endorsed how much of a failure the handling of Ireland Inc's economy and banking system has been by ff.
    Not winning an election since 1982 and losing the last 6 elections represents success ? Get this in to your head, FG were formed from an amalgamation of 3 parties who saw FF as communists and socialists. These people represented the "haves" who were terrified for their future. The same breed of people support the Blueshirts today and my terror would be that they manage to reach government as a single party. Unlikely, but one has to continue the good fight to prevent disaster

    Jesus, will some FGers on here ever call Mount St and tell them to back off. It is just counterproductive at this point. Leo Varadkar continued with the George bashing on Newstalk with some very harsh words. Newstalk are going to have George on after the news to give him 'a right to reply'. George is going to go bananas on FG's ass after what Leo had to say. Well worth tuining into.

    This is exactly what I've been talking about on this thread. FG are making a complete mess of this, while it might rally their core and give 2 fingers to GL and discredit him, the ordinary joe who the majority are supporting GL, will completely backlash against them.

    Listening to Eoghan Harris on Newstalk, I have to say that I agree with him.

    Anyone remember George Lee on Vincent Browne a few months back, he got into a debate with someone and it got totally silly, George finished up by saying "you did it first". I thought then what an embarrassment.

    A masterful rant by Harris.

    So do I. Its an amazing diatribe, but I have to agree with him. Fantastic radio though. But I do not think FG are not doing themselves any favours with their attacks implying that is was money that made George leave.

    He is great. Pure Fupping Mule. Mad as a brush.

    Adds fuel to Enda's idea to get rid of this institution.
    So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!
