This is a joke? Right? As an American of Irish decent, I have never seen any quota regulations to protect myself or other Irish Diaspora...This has to be a joke !!
Along with 'Famine'/Holocaust/Genocide denier of the murders of millions of Irish....Along with little knowledge of the Irish slaves sold on the docks along with African slaves in the American south, where is the acknowledgement of the happening from any group in the US. This IS a joke...Right ????

Lets see if we can organize a Polish-Cuban Pac to oppose those "other guys." We can serve Mojitos made with vodka. Or a Russo-Pottowatomi Pac, both have taken American lives-one in Korea and Nam the other at the Ft Dearborn Masecre in 1812. See, we can mash-up all sorts of groups, as long as we can shake them down for money. Yes, that's what's this McBlackPac is all about.

Peggy P What are your American values? Maybe those on Welfare and food stamps were put there when the GOP crashed the American economy in 2008 because of pure unbridled greed enabled by those "family values" Bush clan. Gimme a break.And for your insult about the "stupid Irish" if you're an example of American intelligence; God help us!

There is a tremendous media interest in this movement? What media, the unbiased NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CINN? Elect candidates who uphold American values? Who, Those who endorse Welfare, Food Stamps, Abotions etc.? Hay Pittsburghkid. You hit the nail on the head but the stupid irish voters are getting their due. No wonder Ireland is sinking into the sea if they share these same values.

What about the discrimination against Irish migrating to the USA?
What about the discrimination against Irish Americans for the past 40 years through Affirmation Action?
What about the discrimination against Irish Americans though Diversity Quotas?
Black Americans, think that Affirmative Action pay back against Whites for past discrimination is OK. As a matter of fact, Black American feel White American deserve to be discriminated against.
White voted for Obama to create a Post Racial Era. Obama has extended the Racial Era.

A McWHITEPAC has a nice ring to it. Oh yeah, that would be rascist, sorry.

As a real Mc I'd rather not be associated with the aims of this particular lost cause. Change it to O'Obama. Has a better ring to it, yes?

What I see McBlackpac attempting to assure is the reelection of a narcisstic socialist community thug as president, and the first openly retarded vice president, as vice president again.
As opposed to two Brilliant Americans with business and political experience, who believe in America.

After reading the comments (for the vast majority of) MY FAITH IN MY IRISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAS BEEN RESTORED!!! And I believe it is correct when most seem to believe as I do, in that Irish Central is run by N. O'Dowd which is nothing more than a LEFT WING Kiss Obama's Ass (and that with or without a Birth Cert, school, passport or any other type of doc. records)!! This Obama guy is a three dollar bill; and he like Niall O'D. need to be put on the UNEMPLOYMENT LIST!!! God help America.... (with these Bastids).... AND WHY ARE WE ACCEPTING I.C. IN OUR EMAIL'S??? It only supports O'D. and O'Ballox!!

Obviously Ms O'Leary has never been to Ireland, real Irish people would have nothing to do with this, when you consider that in November 97% of black people in this country will vote for Obama simply because he is black and if that is'nt racist I dont know what is.

Creativity aboundds with this campaign idea. However, I think this pac will be more to the advantage of the Irish Dems than to Black American Dems. But we shall see...
