Dissident IRA supporter Dolours Price alleges that Gerry Adams sanctioned bombings

WoundedKnee: Lol....Ivor Bell was actually the first name that sprung to mind when I decided to respond on this, however, I opted for Murphy as it is the most ironic.

Good point,Realist, but I suspect bunkerhill--and a lot of other readers--doesn't know who you are talking about. And if I recall my history of the Belfast Brigade, one Ivor Bell took over after Adams was put into Long Kesh. Mmm...Ivor Bell? What do you think of that name, bunkerhill? Some kinda "English name", don't ya think?

bunkerhill: "Lenny Murphy" sounds like a good 'Irish' name....he must be 'ok' in your book. What do you think?

bunkerhill: Some English names are English in origin, and some names that appear to be English are actually very bad translations of Irish, such as the name Harrington. But away from that, your post is moronic.

bunkerhill: Desmond Bell...."Bell is a very Scottish name isn't it? No agenda there?" Dolours Price...."Price is an English name isn't it? How does anyone find her believable?" Lol....is this really the way you think? If so, you are an ignorant, bigotted fool.

bunkerhill – You claim that ‘at the end of WW2 Dresden got money from QE2’ – given that in 1945 she was a 19 year old, and seven years from becoming a queen…and that the Luftwaffe had bombed her own parents at Buck House in 1940…I somehow doubt it…

Wounded knee - We have also heard of McAdams or MacAdams, but never McPrice or MacPrice. At any rate many Irish, including one of us have names that are also common in Angleland. However we feel the old adage "By their deeds you shall know them," plays into this name game. Jerry Adams is truly an "Irish" patriot, while Ms. Price is about to sell herself to the highest bidder.

bunkerhill: "But then Price is an English name isn't it." Mmmm---how about Adams?

I saw the awful interview with this Price woman last night on our completely biased CBS News via Scott Pelley, and I plan to write to them to complain. Neither Price, nor CBS ever mentioned the British Commander and his motely crew who fired into a band of innocent men, women and children and started the whole civil war. Why is Price and CBS not going after them? I think Price is out to make a little cash out of this and our biased media is only too willing to take advantage of it. Pelley again described the war in Northern Ireland as a war between Protestants and Catholic. This gives most Americans the idea that "all" Catholics and Protestants hate each other instead of the real history of confiscated land by the crown. Our media has been at this since the very beginning because our bankers, LIBOR and the royals are all involved in protecting their unfathomable wealth. I am going to ask that CBS and Pelley give the true history of what happened to the native Irish and get over their religious lies. I am also going to ask that whenever they mention Northern Ireland they follow it by mentioning that it is part of that "very peaceful" UK. All we get here from our insipid new media is stories about the comical royals. Most Americans now watch European news. For Dan OLoingsigh, did you know that at the end of WWII the city of Dresdan approached queen elizabeth II for money and I believe they got it. No one has plundered this world more than the royals of England, and people around the world are still paying for their greed, including their own people in England. Price is a disgrace to Ireland. But then Price is an English name isn't it? How does anyone find her believable. She is obviously now looking for publicity, so how do we know that what she told Boston College is true?

How many Orgasms did they promise you to betray your Heritage Dolours Price !

clevelander - The only people who can deliver a united Ireland are the people of the whole island...republicans, real or otherwise, may persuade the others...or are you encouraging a return to the 'bad old days'?

Rebelforce - The bombing of German cities was an agreed strategy of ALL THE ALLIES…Cities such as Dresden were bombed alternatively by the RAF and the USAAF…you fail to mention the role of the USA and FDR in your post, I wonder why?

IRA Volunteer Commandant (Comdt) Éamon De Valera ordered the burning of the Customs House in Dublin during the War of Independence (sic) in 1920, destroying all English land records going back centuries, the straw that broke David Lloyd George's back causing him to sue for peace. It didn't stop De Valera becoming Taoiseach and Úachtarán later in his career, despite it being the single highest casualty engagement of IRA Volunteers by Crown Forces during the original Troubles. What is the agenda of the newspaper that used to be known as The Freeman's Journal? Hardly pro-IRA. Are they as petrified of Citizen Adams becoming Taoiseach, as they were of Citizen McGuinness becoming Úachtarán.

Blessed be the peacemakers. A 32 county United Ireland that the majority in both, the Republic and the North, vote for is what I'd like to see. Where protestant, catholic, men, women, children, cats and dogs can all live together in a civilized island land. A isle full of good Samaritans whom go out of their way to help one another. A land that becomes a guiding light for the rest of the world on how to discard the yoke of intolerant hatred. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Orange with Green that my dream!
