Subject: RE: Catholic Priest clears his chest
"You are fond of calling the PIRA, the official IRA and sundry catholics, thugs."

The above quote from Den, does not quite balance up with what I actually did say

"...counter to what most seem to think I have and bear no hatred of the Irish, Irish Republicans, Irish Nationalists, Irish Unionists, I even have quite a measure of respect for the Official IRA. My objections are reserved for a self-appointed group of murdering thugs, who, as was clearly seen in the referendum held throughout Ireland in 1998, had absolutely no mandate from the Irish people to act on their behalf. Who opportunistically jumped into an improving situation and succeeded in making it worse in order to further their own interests politically and financially. Who needlessly and indiscriminately killed and wounded thousands and then boast about it. Who terrorised then extorted from the very communities they were supposedly protecting. Believe me I have nothing but complete and utter contempt for ALL the paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland, and that I have often stated."

GUEST, GUEST Foilaris, Divis Sweeney - Still no reference offered - Wonder why?
