Well people vote for the McDowell and the PD's. And Noel O'Flynn got elected in Cork on essentially such a platform....

**Macy** · 27/04/2004, 8:27 AM

The Right's No to Nice figurehead, the Left stayed well clear.....

O'Flynn is a racist redneck and the fact that people in my constituency elected him sickens me. I look forward to seeing him at my door.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say that my biggest worry when I voted against Nice was being on the same side of the argument as people with views such as he is alleged to have.

�anna, I don't necessarily disagree with you, but for the record you're opening yourself (and me) up to a lawsuit there.

Or a justified jab at a Government that is stirring up a hornets nest in time for the elections? IMO it's opened the door for anti-immigration candidates...

I dont know about that. The irish times (if you follow the link above) has (with different language admitally) virtually said the same thing. They claim he has links with Nazi sympathisers.

What frightens me is that he might get elected!

**dahamsta** · 27/04/2004, 11:51 AM

I wouldn't worry about Barrett, I was talking more about �anna's statement about O'Flynn. It's a very direct statement.

But to pretend bigotry is the preserve of FF/PD's ignores the facts.

Anyone remember Enda Kenny's famous 'joke'?

Or what about Emmett Stagg's views on the travelling community?

Another cheap anti-FF shot I'm afraid, Macy.

No-one would pretend that FF/PD's are the only ones at all. I think the whole Enda "charisma" Kenny thing was just stupidity rather than racism. Its abig probelm across the spectrum really.

I edited it, but I remember seeing footage on RTE of a parade of some flags/banners of a rather dubious german nationalist persuasion which he was shown to have attended.

As evidenced by the quote from the Irish Times on the website A face linked to:

The video of the rally leaves little room for doubt as to what Germany's extreme right-wing National Democratic Party stands for.

Anti-semitic speeches are peppered with quotes from Adolf Hitler. There are claims that "Germany was the biggest victim of the second World War". Hundreds of skinheads give standing ovations to elderly Nazis.

Mr Justin Barrett, chief spokesman for the No to Nice Campaign and a leading light in Youth Defence, the anti-abortion group, is a guest of honour.

And just for the record, being on the same side of any argument as the likes of Youth Defence and other christo-fascists goes against everything i believe in too

He''ll get my first preference without a doubt. I'm thinking of setting up a new political party and I am inviting him to join along with Alan Hunter the voice of Irish soccer.

Our manifesto is will be as follows.

1. The Laws of Germany.
2. Be Nice to mammy.
3. Don't talk to commies.
4. Eat kosher salamis.

Today Leinster, Tomorrow the World!

Not pro-FF myself despite allegations but isn't Barrett an ex-Blueshirt.

PR is grand, it gives smaller parties a voice. We should have democracy, full stop. Unfortunately we don't have it yet.
Besdies, you can't exclude someone from a democracy because you don't agree with their views. You can exclude them when they violate incitement to hatred laws.
