I think Nazi is a fair enough description of the ultra far right, itâs been used for generations, we all know what it means

The ould nazis are hardly pro-life, are they? They murdered millions.

Itâs flung around like confetti nowadays. I think itâs lost any use as a descriptive term. When the likes of JK Rowling is called a nazi itâs time to come up with a new term.

The nazi whoâs the topic of discussion here is pro life! Itâs all very confusing.
Thats it in a nutshell.
Thatâs fair enough, fair point, but itâs not a JK Rowling debate weâre having here

Shur wasnât that Hitler lad a vegetarian who loved animals?
Iâm as confused as yourself.
Should we all be racists now too, Father?
Repent.
In fairness, You canât like everyone.
No but the whole thing kicked off over a no mark ex teacher (admittedly married to a poisonous dwarf who may dream of being a nazi) tweeting a low level racist comment to a politician. Iâm sure Hazel is fine. Yer wan will be fine too both parties probably got exactly what they wanted out of the interaction. Bit of attention and a profile boost. Itâs hardly the end of the world.
But shur the nazis said they were socialists

There was a big palaver about whether or not it was appropriate to refer to her and her husband as Nazis and definitions of the term.
I feel itâs a fair enough descriptor in this case,
Should Hazel just dust herself off and go again , of course sheâll be OK but she shouldnât have to put up with it

Of course she shouldnât have to but thatâs the price of being in the public eye. It will benefit her anyway as itâs free publicity and paints her in asympathic light with the twiterrati.
Being subject to racism is the price of being in the public eye?

It is in America
The price of being in the public eye is people taking pot shots and trolling you for a variety of reasons. Itâs part and parcel of the job especially for politicians. Leo gets dogs abuse do you get you knickers in a twist when people make snide comments about him? Mary Lou too. Some of the stuff said about Trump is beyond the pale. Same for the Healy Raes, Corbyn and on and on.
THE funny thing is Hazel is well able for it and uses it to her advantage. The thousands of people who saw her retweet and read about it are potential voters in the next election. It wonât do her any harm. Its free publicity. Meanwhile youâre melting down about the partner of someone who heads a party with a tiny membership who absolutely no power or influence. And you sound terrified of them. Itâs laughable.
There wasnât. Read it again slowly.
Are you saying that the husband might be a nazi but that doesnât mean that the party that he founded and has led for almost 5 years should be referred to as a nazi party? You seem to be in fierce argumentative humour today.
No, if you read it slowly and carefully, I said repeatedly, in short, easy to understand words, that there is no such thing as âthe Irish Nazi partyâ. Glas made it up.
If glas or you are so sure of yourselves, write a letter to the Irish times stating that this Barrett lad founded and has led the âIrish Nazi partyâ for five years, and his wife is a member.
See how you go.
