Todays two minutes hate, which is brought to you by.....Tim Blair, who manages to inspire some remarkably uncivilised anti-Irish comments from his readers, who are possibly the only people in the world outside of Northern Ireland who still seem to enjoy kicking the shit out of the Irish.....Check it out, and look at the comments for some real gems:
"their genuine accomplishments, was created by people who usually had to leave Ireland to do it. This includes every ragged paddy who had the stones to get on a boat during the Famines, and every mick who survived transportation at the Crown’s pleasure...."
"of that 3% which represents genuine Irish accomplishment, 2.5% of it was done by Protestants"
"The Irish were a wild and savage people who...........brought the famine of their own heads as they were too damn lazy to grow anything other than potatoes.... Many Irish like the Arabs love to live on their victim status"
Charming. Sometimes I think the best hope we have against the modern right wing is that it will get too crazy, introverted and self indulgent, until random hate-rants like this become accepted and mainstream. Just like the cultural revolution of the 60's which was shot to pieces by the excesses of the stupidest "hippies", maybe these loonies will become mainstream enough to make their idiotic philosophy out in the open for all to see.

Tom, that's 2 out of 4 posting dedicated to the barrel-scraper, T_i_m B_l_a_i_r. I must admit that the marijuana cricket thing was very funny.
Are you on a RWDB (right-wing death beast) binge at the moment?
I'd love to see that and other RWDB blogs allow objective commentary; but then this objectivity would probably extend the RWDB life and prevent it from eating itself as you eloquently hypothesise.
He's jealous he doesn't have the luck of the Irish. :)
