Sugarfoot Jack.


I like the way you have made your argument, in particular how you have used a hypothetical example of an unacceptable tirade against the Irish to illustrate your point?


What if I decided to selectively quote from your post and then said "sugarfoot jack thinks that the Irish famine was funny and that we'd all be better off if more Irish had died in the famine"?


That would completely misrepresent your position wouldn't it?


It would be misleading to take your hypothetical quote out of context wouldn't it?



Oh and by the way, if you would please read my post before responding to it, I did not say that Tommy Teirnan was satirizing the PC brigade, I said he was satirizing racist attitudes.


Your post illustrates my point about context beautifully.


And by the way, I am Irish, but being intelligent I have not taken umbridge at your comments as I am able to see that you are not advocating hatred of the Irish but using an example of hateful language to illustrate a wider point.


A bit like Tommy Teirnan.
