Sinn Fein compare Gregory Campbell to a Nazi

Wed 7 January 2009, 6:47pm

The Newsletter and the BBC are reporting that the youth wing of Sinn Fein (Ógra Shinn Féin) has had a blog with a picture of Gregory Campbell superimposed on a body wearing Nazi regalia. Mr. Campbell seems less than impressed and apparently said he was “quite happy Sinn Féin are unhappy with me but a boundary had been crossed…The irony will not be lost on people that this is the youth wing of an organisation that has had fascist tendencies calling a democrat a fascist.”
According to the Newsletter SF MLA Barry McElduff said he would pass on the comments to his party colleagues. Since the blog has apparently been there since July; it seems surprising that no SF leaders were aware of it previously.

    Interesting to observe the attempts by the usual republican luvvies on slugger as they try to send the thread down blind avenues away from Sinn Fein’s County Down Murderfest.

    ‘It seems the unionist are hoping to stonewall Republicans on the development of our language, the language of some of the earliest inhabitants of this island.’

    What did the other early inhabitants speak?

    Good question. Much research is being/has been done on this. They left little record of their language(s), but study of some Ogham stones hints towards a language similar to Basque. Even if that was true, there were probbly other groups before them, right the way back to the ice age …

    Strangely, not much change then, as the Ruling Party ™ here is very similar, in that its enlightened view of the world is something akin to the ice age…metaphorically speaking.

  7. Say What! says:

    Irish is not only linked as a language with the Basques but also the arabic spoken in Gaza and Cuban Spanish, in fact if anyone can think of any other right-on lefty culture lets link to that too.

    Utter bollocks of course but par for the course in Irish myth-making.

    Yes, it’s typical linguistic evolution. Incidentally, was anyone able to understand what ‘Say What!’ meant? Perhaps his post is a new development of English?

    Say What!,

    No, there are no linguistic links between Irish and Basque. The latter has no known relatives. The early (proto-)Irish of the Celtic invaders (circa 500 BC) entirely replaced the earlier language(s), though this process may have taken some time. More research is no doubt needed.

    You could contact the MP for the area and offer to help. But if he asks you to make any deliveries to a shop – don’t dawdle.
