Kevin myers- an alright sort

Where did I say that?

You made broad brush strokes statements about ā€œTrump supportersā€ above though.

You were correct that Trump supporters are in the main pro Israel. The reason you know this is because polls consistantly show a correlation between GOP support and pro Israel povs.

The anti semitism - you got that from a few tweets, where hilariously you said Palestine wasnā€™t mentioned when it was repeatedly, and a few swastikas.

If I called all Labour Party supporters anti semites for supporting a party which refuses to kick Ken Livingstone out (but they keep him suspended), youā€™d go mental. And that is one of the major figures in the Labour Party.

You have no appreciation or knowledge of data, or actually putting a coherent argument together to marry the data in, you are about narratives and what makes you feel good.

Thatā€™s red pill stuff, mate.

Tens of millions of people voted for Trump. You said I branded ā€œtens of millionsā€ of people as anti-semites. Thatā€™s a pretty clear statement that you believed I was talking about all of them.

I didnā€™t brand ā€œtens of millionsā€ of people as anti-semites. Iā€™m saying there is a significant proportion of anti-semites amongst Trumpā€™s support, which there is, and the behaviour of Trump has encouraged and emboldened them, which it has. There is also a much larger segment of conventional racists or white people to whom race is an issue amongst Trumps support. Polls consistently showed that race was a bigger issue among Trump supporters than it was among supporters of other Republican candidates in the primaries.

Not all Trump supporters are far-right. Pretty much all the far-right in the US are Trump supporters.

Ken Livingstone isnā€™t a major figure in the Labour Party. He isnā€™t even an MP. Heā€™s a former major figure in the Labour party whose career is essentially over and is pretty much irrelevant now.

Was Una a mainstream Journo in 2012? If she was, I certainly wasnā€™t aware of her existence then and that second thread is clearly in jest and not a mention of her in the OP.

The first thread also wasnā€™t about her per se, but rather applying the personification of her ego to people like you ā€“ Does this make ā€˜screaming mullalyā€™ an adjective @Malarkey - I can never grasp these thingsā€¦

If we knew you were so sensitive we would have gone to town on you years ago.

You are denying it now, because you were comprehensively shown up.

You furiously looked for evidence to support your claim after the fact, and what you found was pathetic.

Example of you trying to prove a problem of millions;

Thereā€™s a whole thread of you there doing it. Desperately looking for evidence to back up your claims. When you were finally beaten, you came out with this;

Data isnā€™t relevant for Sidney, as he just feels it.

And to cap it all off, with Ken Livingstone and the Labour Party, you ā€œcanā€™t recallā€ any such statements and wonā€™t go looking. Ken Livingstone is apparently ā€œnot a big figureā€. So why are the Labour Party not expelling him and keep suspending him? Ken Livingstone is one of Corbynā€™s biggest supporters. Itā€™s amazing how you can ignore figures like Jared Kushner being a key Trump advisor and brother in law, as well as the likes of Ken Livingstone, when it suits.

All because this is all a game of football to you. You donā€™t give a shit about anti semitism, you were looking for an angle to slag off Trump.

Sheā€™s been a mainstream journalist for well over a decade. Wrote about music for the Sunday Tribune since at least 2005 until its closure in 2011.

Mullally writes from an unapologetic feminist perspective. Those perspectives are pretty much always correct and have always been so.

Those who object to such perspectives tend to be deeply paranoid and insecure about what they see as a rightful male hegemony being challenged - the Afrikaaner/Unionist comparison is apt - the alt-right and much of the mainstream right has coalesced around an identity politics pushback against such perspectives - itā€™s largely white, male and straight and wants to protect the hegemony of such characteristics.

All that effort to write that for no substantive point whatsoever.

Brush up on your comprehension skills and debating skills because you continue to be found wanting as regards the former and display nothing as regards the latter.

#SAD!

Okay guys, could you take the repetitive Trump stuff back to the US politics thread where @anon7035031 is no doubt waiting for you?

Those perspectives are pretty much always correct and have always been so :rofl:- Is sheā€™s so right, why is she paid much less than men who are so wrong? - If sheā€™s so right, why did she get the US presidential election and Brexit so wrong? Sheā€™s at her best whining about the wall paper in Starbucks or how hard it is to find love online - thatā€™s her level. You can spout as much literary theory as you want, she may be right, but she will never be right, ever.

So thereā€™s a swift roll over by Sidney then.

Yes, I rolled right over your ā€œpointsā€ like a steamroller, mate. :grin:

Yep. You have no counter points. You generally will talk something to exhaustion but canā€™t even do it here. Comprehensive.

Ah, poor Tim. Making excuses like an Irish rugby follower after yet another comprehensive World Cup quarter-final defeat.

Go off and whine about Una Mullally or somebody.

After the last RWC you were coming out to bat for the Irish rugby team.

That you are now restoring to an anti rugby football position is quite telling. You know your goose is cooked and looking for some refuge from the boys on here.

And the Una Mulally thing- nothing to do with what we were talking about there, but off you go pivoting again.

Keep digging :grin:

@Sidney is the lad on the bodhran here - heā€™s banged the same drum so often the life has gone out of himā€¦

Go to townā€¦ Ah yeah, the same sort of scenario as the 2015 Club All Ireland Final. I get it. You are such an impressive figure, such a top poster.

Truth told, you would not go to town on a mikado biscuit left out in a monsoon.

Fluff away with your fellow fluffers. Some people do manage to grow out of a circle jerk dynamic, as Kevin Myers detailed, funnily enough, in A Single Headstrong Heart (2016).
