Do you condemn the IRA?
Lets go through the standard shinner response to that!
1) Let's not get into the politics of condemnation
2) We regret some of the things commutated in our name, but this was a war situation
3) I can't condemn the murder of Jerry McCabe without the authority of the sinn fein leadership (Tereasa Ferris' answer to Pat Kenny on the subject of shooting Gardai in the back while they were sitting in a car)
4) Do YOU condemn loyalist terrorism? (I love that one - shinners get flustered when you answer YES!)
5 The children blown up by the bin-bomb was a tragic accident
6 The WW2 veterans blown up on remembrance day by the IRA was a tragic mistake (even IRA admits the intention was to murder and maim Westerns)
7 When the British PM contemns the occupation of Ireland, then I'll condemn the IRA when they kill civilians
8 The 30 people killed in Omagh was done by the REAL IRA, not the IRA - nothing to do with me.
9) Have you seen "In the name of the Father"?? We are the real victims.
10)Always condemning any mention that Gerry and Martin are in the IRA army council (until Martin admitted that he was chief of staff of the IRA in the 70s at the Bloody Sunday tribunal, which, of course, they condemn)
Of course, the shinners never miss an opportunity to condemn the things they don't like - here's some:
1) free market capitalism
2) the police (Garda and PSNI)
3) George Bush (shinners despise W with a passion)
4) war in Iraq (shinners often seen demonstrating in Shannon)
5) freedom to bear firearms (unbelievably they condemned the right of farmers to have shotguns after a Mayo farmer shot an intruder)
6) they condemn the right to life of the unborn stating at their 'ard aeis' that abortion is a woman's right
7) The Columbian government
8) They condemned the Irish government for not releasing the McCabe murderers
9) They condemned Ronald Regan when he came to Ireland
10) Condemned the RC church for not allowing gays to marry or be priests
11) They condemned the 2000 they murdered during the 'troubles'
