the goon show

Something called Doctor Mark Dooley writing for the 100 million dollar cumulative loss making Irish edition of the Daily Mail, has joined the general liberal pseudo establishment frenzy attempting to derail the Presidential campaign of former terrorist Martin McGuinness.
Mark Dooley is a goonish would be academic who claims to be a Catholic but has no problem writing for the anti Catholic Daily Mail media company, famous for having once despatched photographers to film a thirteen year old girl topless kissing her boyfriend.
The Daily Mail Trust's vendetta against the thirteen year old girl stemmed from the thirteen year old girl's mother's attempts to warn British people that the House Of Lords was about to empower doctors to put little girls on contraceptive and abortificient pills without their parents knowledge or consent.
Because the little girl had committed the foul crime of being her mother's daughter, she became a legitimate target for the Daily Mail.
Anyone associating with Victoria Gillick is a legitimate target, eh Daily Mail?
I ask you.
We'd be up in arms if the IRA did it.
Nevermind a supposedly humane and civilised newspaper group.
But I digress.
The Irish edition of the Daily Mail (which is expected to be in profit some time around the middle of the next century IF you believe their accountancy department) the Irish edition I say, has been to the fore in advancing the liberal leftist atheistic pogrom against the Catholic Church, championing the idea that any Bishop who attempted to handle a sex abuse case discreetly was in fact concealing sex abuse.
Ah yes Daily Mail.
The broad mass of the populace will far more readily believe a big lie than a little one.
As Hitler used to say.
And let us not forget that in the 1930's the English edition of the Daily Mail (net debts a billion) wrote staunchly in favour of Hitler.
Es lebe Deutschlund, eh chaps!
But we were younger men then.
The Daily Mail's gross contrivance of guilt against elderly Bishops who have served the Irish people and the ancient Church faithfully for half a century, has caused no qualms to the great and principled Mark Dooley.
Take the money and run, eh Mark!
Now the Daily Mail and this same faux Catholic contributor Mark Dooley, are endeavouring to ruin the political career of Martin McGuinness.
Mark Dooley's thesis in his article today was profoundly risible.
First he alleged that Martin McGuinness' participation in the IRA in the 1970's was the same as Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge communists' laying waste of Cambodia in the 1970's.
The dates are the same alright.
But there the similarity ends.
Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge killed a quarter of the population in Cambodia.
They had the opportunity to do so because the Western media, including Irish newspapers and many of Mark Dooley's friends in the corridors of  what passes for Academe in Ireland, had forced the Americans to withdraw from South Asia.
The total number of deaths attributed to Pol Pot is normally set at two million.
Pol Pot killed two million people in about five years of communist psychopathy.
In Northern Ireland, during the course of a thirty years war a total of nearly three thousand people died. The Northern Ireland deaths occurred on all sides of the community and of the political divide.
Many senior editors, contributors and journalists in various Irish media groups such as Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times and RTE, actively and tacitly supported both the Khmer Rouge and the IRA during the 1970's.
The Khmer Rouge and the IRA bear no other salient similarity except that Mark Dooley's colleagues and friends in Media and Academe once supported both of them.
There is no other similarity between the genocide in Cambodia and the civil war in Northern Ireland.
None.
To pretend there is, is to perpetrate a grotesque calumny.
There is no similarity of scale, no similarity of situation, no similarity of depravity.
To pretend there is any parallel between Pol Pot and Martin McGuinness is to propogate a grotesque falsehood.
Mark Dooley might reasonably review his own reasoning in all of this.
His article dwells at length on the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge.
And then quick as a wink, just as he's wrapping things up, he slips in the mcguffin that Martin McGuinness' role in the conflict in Northern Ireland amounts to the same thing.
It doesn't pass the logic test.
It doesn't pass the fairness test.
It doesn't even pass the semi literate maunderings test.
It's pure bunk.
Mark Dooley might reasonably apologise to Martin McGuinness for this pathetic attempt to smear him.
He might reasonably apologise to the Pope for attempting to associate himself with our beautiful and true religion.
And he might reasonably apologise to me for seriously p---ing me off.
