‘Hypocrite of the century’: Irish MP blasts US president’s G8 visit

Recommended Posts

Quote

Barack Obama is a “war criminal” and a “hypocrite,” an Irish politician has said in a damning attack on the US president. The MP slammed the Irish treatment of Obama during his G8 visit as akin to ‘prostituting’ Ireland for a “pat on the head.”

Irish MP Clare Daly took no prisoners in her heated attack on the visit of the Obama family to Ireland during this year’s G8 summit, which was held in the five-star resort of Lough Erne, Northern Ireland.

(1) Congratulations on posting something based in reality.
(2) You know the difference between MP and PM, right? Most world leaders don't give a shit if some US congressman or senator lambasts them for their actions or speeches, even if they have a point. POTUS is no different.

And most world leaders gat away with that because the people do not hold them responsible for their actions... most of the time.

Lets see what unfolds.

Lies only last so long.

Why should anyone care a whit what Clare Daly says when she's obviously drunk and/or suffering from PMS?



You seemed very concerned with what "The World" thought of us during the 2008 election.

I would also point out that's about the most sexist statement I've seen on here in quite some time. Especially coming from someone who bashes others for their "War on Women".

I'm trying to see where he issued a sobriety test and an estrogen test.

Nothing like a little peer reviewing.

Clare Daly isn't "The World". She isn't even the leader of her nation. The Irish PM, Enda Kenny, said of her "I think your comments are disgraceful, I think they do down the pride of Irish people all over the world who are more than happy to see this island being host to the G8."

Daly is a member of the Irish Socialist Party too. Since when did you agree with anything a Socialist said?

Feeling particularly sexist and racist/jingoistic/bigoted today, professor? Come on, if you want to run her down, she's given you plenty of ammunition without resorting to slurs. You can do better.

PM Kenny got it right, her comments are a disgrace. I just provided an excuse - if she was sober then it's even worse.

Oh, so when you became so concerned about what the world thought of us, you meant everyone except some drunken bitch in Ireland.
Let the weaseling begin.

Do you agree that breathing on your own is one necessary part of leading a healthy prosperous life?

Oh well, i guess we agree on something.

Now I agree with a socialist.

Not often, however, I have never called a female socialist a drunken Irish bitch who is PMSing.

How's that "War on Women" going these days?

You called her "bitch", not me.:P

Hey, you're the known sexist, not me. :D



In your dreams.

And my comments referred to one individual, not "women" as a group.

If she wasn't drunk then what is your explanation for her bizzare rant, which even the Irish Prime Minister called "disgraceful"?

She's definitely your kind of a person though: left of Socialist, former union officer, strongly pro abortion, anti American (not just Obama), and a proponent of public ownership of resources.

What proof do you have other than anecdotal evidence, that she was drunk and/or PMSing? Did you administer a sobriety test? Do you have any credentials as a OBGYN?

She is a former union official, strongly supports strikers, supports a wealth tax, is pro abortion, anti American in general (not just BHO), the Socialists weren't left enough for her so she's formed a new party ( United Left Alliance) even further to the left. Clearly she's your heroine.

Where did I agree with her? She may very well have been drunk or premenstrual while making those comments, but you sullied yourself with those slurs. I do however agree with Kenny that Daly is a disgrace, though not for all the same reasons. Don't act like sexist or derogatory comments are helping her out. That's like some racist saying "don't blame niggers for their condition, they too lazy and stupid to know or do any better." Is he providing a generous excuse as you claim you are, or just showing his prejudice?

A suggestion: don't try to defend it, you only look worse.
