26 County General Election 2020

Whatabout.....
Ballyseedy was done by your favourites - "freestaters"

When you raise Tom Oliver out of the blue, can you really accuse anyone of indulging in "whataboutery"?

[Rossfan]

Angelo had posted a link which concerned the Tom Oliver abduction, torture and murder😉.
Seems it was another Steaknife treacherous evil deed.

Once again your double standards are exposed.

The pro and anti treaty were both factions of the old IRA and the bloody mindedness of the civil war is also the legacy of the old IRA.

As much as the free staters like to pick and choose their moments, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

[Main Street]

Which one of  pro / anti  was it who betrayed Robert Emmet?

[Rossfan]

I don't recall saying I agreed with those 2 events you whatabouted.
The old IRA to Spring 1922 were fighting for what the people voted for.
The FS Army were doing the same from the Election in April/May 1922.
I condemn both events.
Do you condemn what was done to Mr Oliver?

Once again please note the Irish Free State was abolished 31/12/1937.
Stop the incorrect labelling of the people who live in the 26 Counties.
It's the lines of you will cause any Unity referendum to be lost in the 26.

I can't absolve you of your free state shame.

No I haven't. You have implied/said that there couldn't be a cover up of the McAnespie Case/Enniskillen bomb/Omagh etc in the south because you can't think that there is any good reason why the southern establishment would want to be involved in a cover up.

I did neither and you know that, otherwise you wouldn't have used "implied/said" as an each way bet.

So why do you think they covered up the Dublin/Monaghan bombings?

Because their hands were dirty in the latter?

Anyway the Byrne story is on the Irish Times home page today. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/thomas-byrne-denies-being-source-of-barry-cowen-drink-driving-story-1.4303184

And ditto on the Independent. https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/minister-denies-being-source-of-revelations-about-barry-cowens-drink-driving-39363078.html

Another conspiracy theory gone to dust. Who wudda thunk it? 

Yes, by coincidence it has broken today - 5 days after the allegations were made. Now why would it have taken 5 days?

Because Thomas Byrne chose yesterday to deny it.

So it was only a story when he denied it but not when he was accused of it?

I presume so.

I'll take it as a no then and that Angelo approves of the abduction, torture and murder of Mr Oliver.

Just like Thomas Byrne squealed on his colleage Barry Cowen to the Indo like a petulant child, a story that no southern media outlets seems to have picked up at all - how strange!

Not strange at all, just a reflection of our defamation laws.

Its not defamation to report what one of Thomas Byrnes activists put up on twitter hence putting it into the public domain. But sure you know that well.

It is if its false, and he is denying it.

The Cowen clan seem to have a drink problem.

You dont think it is a story in itself that a FF TD basically tried to sabotage a fellow FF TD our of jealousy by leaking incriminating info to the media. Youd have to have a deep hatred of SF to not accept the reality of the two faces of the Irish media here.

Some of the lads here would pick a fight with their own shadow. Is there anyone who doesn't think the Irish media are sh1t?
