Ó Brádaigh - Hunger Strikers Were Not Sacrificed for Political Gain

[SonnyLaymatina]

Yeah, the recall that took 20 years to manifest itself but funnily enough coincided with his divergence away from the SF.

Pat, that's what happens when you stop drinking the juice...you start thinking for yourself.

Time for you to put down the glass and take the parallax view.

Otherwise, if you keep allowing yourself to be fooled - then maybe you should be.

Some can carry the sarcastic tone and develop it into an art form. Other just try sarcasm as an attempt to disguise their retarded grunts. Unfortunately for yourself you fall into the latter category.

Pat, if someone told those people that Sinn Fein was responsible for the eradication of the dodo bird they would believe if because they simply hate Sinn Fein. They just want to believe any bullsh*t against Sinn Fein.

Pat, you have steadfastly avoided any meaningful debate on this issue; choosing merely to regurgitate party propaganda and spew insult such as this at those who deviate from your dogma. Have you no integrity at all?

The PSF juice he swallows like a Maoist Red Guard substitutes for thinking critically.

And as long as his eternal Dear Leader tells him so - then there's nothing left to know.

Pat, I wasn't being sarcastic.

But typical political party apparatchik on the intellectual defensive - you're being paranoid.

So snap out of it.

I'm not the enemy,

When dealing with the likes of Pat McL on this issue, it is important to stick to the details and avoid the diversions. Pat has only propaganda and avoidance strategies. What we know is that there was an offer made by the British and the PSF position was to deny any such thing for several years until the point could be proven.

The offer was part of a negotiation strategy involving a clique of people around Gerry Adams and it was apparently witheld from SF, the IRA army council and at least some of the hunger strikers.

It's at around this point that the likes of Pat runs into difficulty as the mantra starts to fray.

God that was sooooooo funny. Did it take you long thinking that up? If only we could all be as witty as you.
