Fucking simpletons
Posted on | March 14, 2008 | 57 Comments
I’ve written before about how old blog posts get some strange comments from people who entirely miss the point. They keep coming though.
The IRA Statement post has received a couple of crackers recently. Witness:
as an Irish american I salute what you lads have done for your country .. fuck the Brits
I suspect this is one of those ‘Irish Americans’ whose connection to Ireland is eating Lucky Charms and listening to those Drop Kick Murphys cunts. The next one is great though:
As another Irishamerican I support and love what yer doing. If ya need another soldier give me a plane ticket and I’m wherever ya want me.
That comes from Boston Irish. Awesome. What commitment he’s showing to the cause. He will be a soldier, no doubt he will fight and give everything in the struggle. He will be a leader of men. An example. He will recite Gaylick poetry to inspire his troops. He will not sleep. He will be ruthless, brutal and unmerciful. Where he goes men will fall silent as they witness his power. They shall speak of him in hushed tones and his legend will grow.
Once someone sends him a fucking plane ticket.
Fuck off you cunt. If you’re that into it just log on to Aer Lingus and get yourself a one way ticket. Less than $350 if you book ahead. Do let us know when you’re coming. We’ll come and meet you at the airport with banners and flags so we can let everyone know you’re a fucking moron.

I am impressed with the committment of those “Freedom Fighters” they must have watched the Devils Own about thirty times…Cunts

I worked for the Scottish Tourist Board and Yanks used to visit to try and claim Scottish Ancestry. Now I figure with a name like Hiram Weinburger III there is little chance of being William Wallace’s nth nephew but how we used to jest when we assured them they were related and sold them all sorts of tat.

Ah come on Twenty. Give the lads some slack. It’s almost Paddy’s day and they suddenly feel Irish again!
By the end of March they are just normal Americans again and forgot all about that 1/8th part Irish descent they claim to have.
March 14th, 2008 @ 9:44 am
The good news is the same brave cunts are too scared of al quaeda to get on a plane.
March 14th, 2008 @ 9:52 am
I met a Black American who was in Vietnam with some of them Plastic Paddies, he told me they were a bunch of bigoted idiots, they were more racist than the Klu Klux Klan, and when it came to battle they were yellow bellied cowards

Sure wasn’t that the whole spirit of 1916? Sure Mr Collins I’ll help ya storm the GPO once ya send me the bus fare?

@Pot: ever wondered why lava-covered island Montserrat has an Irish connection? Google the island’s name, slaves and Irish and you’ll some sense of it.
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:22 am
fuck it let’s get him a ticket and make him our toy. We could send him on whacky adventures and when are tired of him we could just phone the rozzers and get him lifted…….c’mon
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:32 am
I concur with Manuel. but only if we could make Johnny5 and Maggot his mentors, now that would be funny.
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:42 am
You don’t need to go all the way to the US to find “Guinness Heroes”.
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:53 am
Possibly the funniest thing about America right now is the woman who got wedged in a toilet and stayed there for two years.
Only every paper on the planet has this story.
March 14th, 2008 @ 10:59 am
It is true to say that we as a nation got nowhere with violence.
Those poor bastards in the North that we left to their own devices have another story to tell though.
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:12 am
Glad to see you acknowledge that there is more than one nation on our Island Pat.
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:12 am
Given the week that in it you can expect many Oirish Americans to come out of their caves. We even have some here in Lebanon.
My Band arrived sans bags and instruments (lost in Khartoum) where the fuck will I find Uilleann pipes in Lebanon
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:17 am
MacDara, set fire to a cat it will sound nearly as good.
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:18 am
As if the Lebanese don’t have enough to contend with without Uilleann pipes !
Unless you are one of the few that can actually play them well.
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:20 am
lads ..any way to see updates of comments to previous posts without actually going to these posts ?

Twenty I think I get what you are saying. I mean these guys need to show more resourcefulness if they are serious. I am on my game, keeping my mind sharp and ready for action. Where do I sign sir?
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:43 am
Now if you Micks would stop trying to claim every American as Irish it might help. Even Obama can’t escape
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:46 am
Maggot thankfully Im not the one playing but they did sound good last year.
March 14th, 2008 @ 11:50 am
Fatwa on Bodhraneers, especially the American variety – oh and piano accordian players!
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:01 pm
Fair comment indeed Quarefella. We are a shower of needy cunts.
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:11 pm
I lived in Boston for a few years. Most Irish Americans, and
Irish people that moved there from the 50′s to the 80′s, are
a a bunch of racist pricks. “The n*gg*rs should stay in their own bars”
is a line I remember some kerry fucker saying. And he had just moved over
from Ireland. Anyway, I moved away down south from the fuckers.
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:18 pm
A one way ticket? Brilliant.You can keep him over then.Six feet above or below…your choice.
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:43 pm
The Irish practically invented racism ffs. They don’t have to go to the states for those tendencies to become apparent. The Italians rival them though.
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:45 pm
Blah blah fucking blah. So a couple of supposedly Irish-Americans make stupid comments and you get all riled up and then we get even bigger assholes like pot making even more outrageous comments. For all I fucking know the guys who posted those comments could be two of your own posting from a laptop while drinking Guiness at Kielys of Donnybrook. Perhaps it goes against everything too many Irish want to believe, especially this time of year, but most of us don’t give a fuck about the IRA.
March 14th, 2008 @ 12:53 pm
Fuck off. We Irish aren’t racist, we’re just not that keen on people from other countries and knackers.
And knackers aren’t a race
March 14th, 2008 @ 1:10 pm
Those people were one of the motivations for me to leave the U.S.
They’re beyond cringeworthy.
March 14th, 2008 @ 1:32 pm
The Clancy Brothers and the Dubliners have a lot to answer for by encouraging the dregs of America to think they are somehow Irish.
March 14th, 2008 @ 1:43 pm
Hey maggot, I know twenty didn’t take you up on the punching celebrities idea, but my girlfriend wants in, someone called Miriam from RTE has pushed her over the edge.
March 14th, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
Having lived in Boston for nearly 25 years now, I can safely say that the “Boston Irish” are, in general, the most racist, backwards, pig-ignorant morons I’ve ever had the bad luck to meet. (I say “in general” because there are some pretty wonderful exceptions.) Ahhhhh….nothing like a St. Patrick’s Day parade, full of 9th generation fuckwits, screaming about ‘not in ahhhh neighbahooood’ and waving their ‘kiss me I’m Irish’ badges around. Come July 4th, they’re all back to being regular ‘Mericans’ again.
I will defend the Dropkicks though. I like them.
March 14th, 2008 @ 1:54 pm
“the most racist, backwards, pig-ignorant morons I’ve ever had the bad luck to meet.”
I lived in New Cross,London for ten years it pisses on anything you can offer. On the weekend of a beer festival a black geezer came into the pub looking for a carry out. The fat, shaved headed, puffa jacketed millwall landord shouts to his barstaff:
“Quick serve the fahkin n***** and get ‘im out of ‘ere”
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:04 pm
Say what you will though there is a bloody good four day piss up coming up at the local Irish pub this weekend. There will be young “schoolie” Irish dancers to ogle while we drink green fuckin’ beer and listen to some cunt over from Dublin for the weekend singing “The Green Alligator” ad nauseum. We will all be stuffing ourselves on corned beef an cabbage at $15 a pop. Oh, what joy. I must take photies.
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:05 pm
PP – I reckon he was worried that he might be on the list, being a celebrity himself!
The Dropkick Murphys – terrible, worse than the Bay city Rollers. That bad ? Yep.
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:16 pm
That’s pretty bad, PP – stakes are raised. At least most of the racist fuckers around here have the good sense to shut up in mixed company, even if they don’t have enough sense to feel badly about it.
Maggot – we’ll have to agree to disagree. I think they sound fucking great, and they’re hilarious.
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:18 pm
Where the hell did I put my House of Pain Album?
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:36 pm
Isn’t this threat all a bit irrelevant. Everyone is commenting on a thread from 2005? Are we that stuck for something to say.
Corrupt, yes, racist, yes. But you should see the racisim from the God fearing parts of Norn Ireland and Scotland. And don’t get me started on Spain!!!!
We’re more corrupt than racist.
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:49 pm
lol
March 14th, 2008 @ 2:53 pm
I think we are all afraid of our own identity and insecure as hell. Now that we dont hate the English anymore what the fuck are we?
What does it mean to be Irish anyway?
March 14th, 2008 @ 3:06 pm
drink….feck….girls. Err, isn’t this what it means?
March 14th, 2008 @ 3:26 pm
That’s what it means to be a bloke.
March 14th, 2008 @ 3:29 pm
For no reason other than its Friday of a Bank Holiday Weekend:
Man walks into doctor with stomach complaints.
Doctor enquires ” Do you masturbate?”
Man ” Eh, yeah!”
Doctor “Fucking great isnt it!”

My first night in America was in new York. Myself and a couple of Irishers go into a random bar on Broadway where our accents are overheard by an elephant seal disguised as a man and he buys us a round of Guinness, unasked. He has minders, this man, who keep saying to us “Do you know who you’re talking to?” etc. We don’t but we accept the free swallie and soon we get to talking – or listening – to the elephant seal.
Turns out he’s head of Catholic Charities in America which mean t nothing to us at the time but is indeed a big deal. This man told us how not only he personally, but his well-known American organisation had been giving a lot of money to the IRA for years. Myself and the Irishers gave him another point tof view which he didn’t like. Why didn’t we hate the English more? Wasn’t that our birthright, and – get this – our duty? He tried to incite hate in us, another generation for a further half hour, at which point we gave up, said thank you for the beer, and left.
All this man wanted was to be part of some far-flung “game”, support something like you would a football team. He laughed his way through our description of bombings and dead children. He was possibly the most arrogant man I’ve ever met and he truly didn’t give a shit, as long as he got to trot out the words “freedom fighter” and “fucking English” to make himself feel like a warrior.
March 14th, 2008 @ 3:52 pm
Freedom fighter, heh.
I wish somebody would come and free us from the never-ending cycle of violence.
March 14th, 2008 @ 4:21 pm
Well said 20.
March 14th, 2008 @ 5:01 pm
Some people just like idea of fighting, all that in the name of the “cause” is just a front.
What is the rss feed for? What is it?
March 14th, 2008 @ 5:41 pm
If you have to pay for it I ain’t interested!
March 14th, 2008 @ 6:24 pm
Why not bring him over and drop him at the Chipper in Drimnagh, where the two poor polacks got drilled.
Plastic Provo vs Drimnagh Knackers.
I have no clue what my point is….
March 14th, 2008 @ 8:47 pm

“Hey buddy! You Irish?”
“yeah.”
“Hey AWESOME!!! My Grandmom’s Irish.”
“Yeah. So is mine. Go fuck yourself.”

In New York on St Pats day a couple of years ago …
12th generation plastic :”Hey Mick, what County are ya from?”
Me: “Yorkshire”
12th generation plastic: “Is that near Dublin?”
True.
March 15th, 2008 @ 9:08 pm
Hey Mick why do people keep telling these fucking stories about yanks asking them where in Ireland Fucking Yorkshire is? We are two piss-small islands miles from the US. Why would anyone from the US Know or give a shit, Where fucking yorkshire is? Would you immediately be able to tell a Kiwi From an Aussie?? I know I couldnt recently and Some Kiwi Bitch wanted to remove my Balls because of it (not in a nice kinky way either)…
March 16th, 2008 @ 7:04 pm
Used to look forward to St. Patrick’s day. Got out of school and hung out with my Dad and his crew at the Friendly Son’s. I stopped going 16 years ago and the old crew even before that. I’m an American with Irish parents and spent the best part of all my summers in Ireland with family and friends and I can’t be less “Irish” than these wannabe wankers showing up tomorrow. The worst are the politicos over at the Gaelic League, what a load of worn out cunts. Always wanted to know how they’d feel if they’re favorite pub was blown to bits because the protection money was witheld…of course they’re in Detroit so they might not notice.
March 18th, 2008 @ 11:53 am
Hey Twenty, longtime reader, but I don’t comment because then you’d know I’m a complete cunt and start the hating on my arse. Anyway, talk of racism and the Dropkicks, might interest you to know that they’re pally with the guitarist from neo-Nazi group Skrewdriver– even had him onstage at one of their shows.
Buncha racist faux-blarney cunts.
