Question about Ian Paisley

[Baile an tuaigh]

Someone at one time put up a great article a bout Ian Paisley. It was very informative, going back to his child hood and going over major events in his life, covering his time in North America and how he obtained his doctorate etc.. his political life and so fourth.

I've tried searching this board and the old one so it might actually have been the three GAA boards ago. But it seems you can't access it. If the poster could put up the article again I would appreciate it. Though it was quite a while back so this is just more in hope than anything. The reason being is there are some people who I wanted to share it with.

                                                                                                                                              Regards

Wasn't he awarded his Doctorate by some evangelical college in the States?

Aye he was. Bob Jones University bestowed the title of doctor on the kn**ker. It is one of the most hypocritical, ultra conservative cess pits in America and that takes some doing, they discrimate equally against Jews, Catholics, Democrats and Muslims and if you are not white and at least upper middle class forget about it.

I have a mate whose sons goes to it, he is a Muslim guy and his wife is an English Baptist, she hates it when I refer to the scholl as BJU for some reason.

he\someone took Paul Daniels\BBC to court over a quiz shoe, I cant remember what you call it, they give the question something along the lines of " which of the following have proper doctorates?" then gave a list of answers, Big Ian's name was one of the ones that didn't have a proper doctorate.

Ructions followed and the BBC have to give a public apology some time later
