Murder victim’s mother slams Irish presidential candidate

What eiriamach said.Every word

Colkelley: You are right.IC does ( rather naiveley ) appear to offer tacid support for a chosen candidate ... for anything! I am not aware of anti Gay M stuff,though. Publishing his anti-death-penalty is a service to electors who can then make up their own minds how to vote'. Wheeling out victims parents etc., is below the belt and what you can expect from a 'tabloid publication'. But vorers can also 'factor in' this 'angle' in their considerations. ~ ~ ~ I like your version of the "Awkward Question" But when bumping into an old 'crush' and new partner; I have always favoured one that just may be more appropriate on this thread; " Oh,Hello,darling ~ are you still taking it up the Aras!!??

and? So what? Scraping the barrel rather with this one aren't you?

NO, colkelley, it's more like asking him whether he has recognized the equal right of women to liberty and security. It's not a 'loaded question' because this candidate has cherry-picked the objects of his "official" compassion too carefully: those he has begged mercy for have been those who brutally raped and murdered a woman or brutally murdered a man (physician) and his associate, a man who provided health services exclusively for women. This candidate's misogynist ideology shows in the cases he selects. The lives of women are worth less to him than the lives of male murderers. I too oppose the death penalty-- equally for all -- not for those whose killings target only only one group.

Irish Central is letting its prejudice show here. Mitchell has done nothing but what he is supposed to do and, although I agree with the mother and support the death penalty, making this seem like something awful simply shows that Irish Central has an agenda and will do anything to oppose Mitchell. If he asked that these convicted killers be put to death Irish Central would call him a blood-lusting barbarian. The way Irish Central deals with Mitchell is like asking him, "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" No matter which way he turns Irish (Left of) Central will condemn him.
