To make matters worse, the Irish government has not actually defined in the bill what “hatred” is, saying that to do so could “risk prosecutions collapsing”.Is that Orwellian, or what? They can’t say what the law means, lest prosecutions collapse. Nevertheless, I think we all get the drift.
Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, continues to insist citizens will be able to speak freely, but a senator for the Green Party, one of three parties in the governing coalition, let the cat out of the bag: “We are restricting freedom,” Pauline O’Reilly said, “but we are doing it for the common good.”

MSNBC sponsored the Global Citizen Festival in 2014 - not sure about other years
The 2014 Global Citizen Festival was the one where the whole audience worshiped Obama when his image appeared on the screen in front of them (pre-recorded video)
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama may not be the Antichrist but he does an excellent impersonation of him

Who else by fellow fascists wouldn’t oppose Hitler in WWII?

It’s always the left projecting this stuff onto the right. They always portray “right wing fascism” or “Christian theocracy” as the danger to liberty.
But as usual, it seems to be only a subconscious outburst representing what THEY would do if they had absolute power.
It’s the same in the movie “V for Vendetta”.
It’s always done in the name of “the good of the collective”. Which always means “stripping people of individual rights”. Now come the ‘hate speech on steroids’ laws. If you anger a Muslim they might be triggered into beheading an infidel, so arrest the ‘offender’ for ‘offensive speech’. It’s just easier than dealing with the Islamic mob that has sworn to take over.
What could go wrong?

The irony is that this is the exact opposite of what is happening in Ireland right now. The left always accuses the right of exactly what it has done/is doing/will do.
