A few of my New York cousins whose parents were Irish natives delight in hearing jokes or anything else that protray the Irish in very negative fashion. These ignorant relatives firmly believe that everyone born and raisd in Ireland has a very limited intellectial capicity. God bless Mr. Wolf for doing the right thing.

Only Popeye is stuffing Olive!! a joke is a joke,but at times comedy is used as a propaganda tool and if you wish to demean yourself fair enough.

WoundedKnee, what you say may be true but its largely due to the influence of the anglosphere. Additionally, many of the immigrants to britain are from areas that have been long victimized by british nation mugging.

There are not many diaspora communities in the World more successful than Irish Americans (or Irish in general based upon the fact that they rose to the highest levels of European society in the original diaspora following the nine years war) and the "drinking habits" of the Irish pale in comparison to the british antics abroad (as referenced in Spain). If the british terror state had been the one to perpetrate the atrocities on the Jews instead of their German cousins, you would see plenty of Jewish jokes in print.

To say The Irish are tearing themselves apart is part of the ideology which nurtures Irish jokes and just as damaging.

It's very clear.....that the Irish are the subject of jokes regarding drinking habits and level of intellect is based on encounters with a majority of the the people commenting here. Tisirish is right on...many Irish-Americans are the models for these jokes and jabs. Many of the Irish shops promote the stereotype with the junk they sell, signs and stickers and the like depicting their own kin as degenerates. I applaud the Jews for defending themselves from most of these issues, try and find any of the anti-jewish stuff in print! The Irish for the most part are too busy tearing each other apart and Ireland down to notice that a lot of honest, hardworking Irish guys and gals have done quite well for themselves and helped a lot of others along the way!!!!!!

"I came to laugh, but the funny man made me SAD!...I deserve money!" Seems like this guy is pretty much just a serial complainer - in Canada at the Human Rights Commission kangeroo courts, they've turned it into a veritable industry for extracting money from businesses - this man needs to emigrate to REALLY get the big bucks.
Here in the USA we don't TELL any more offensive racist jokes - instead, we elected one President! Thank you, I'll be here all week! Be sure to try the veal!

On a trip in Spain some years ago the hotel owners were exacerbated by the wanton destruction by English football teams on their end of season binges.

Curtisjohnson: "Luckily their own leaders are breeding them out of existence in their own country with the cheap labor/mass immigration policy." All fine and good, but the Irish rulers are doing exactly the same thing.

It's amazing how the british claim total apathy about the Irish but brit trolls obsessively comb the web for any opportunity to flaunt their racist degeneracy. The rest of their degenerate makeup is on display everywhere they travel - whether murdering sports fans or polluting holiday spots in Spain (not to mention routine nation mugging crusades to spread "democracy"). Irish jokes are explainable by the need to deride their victims as part of their criminal nature. Notice how they whine incessantly about any perceived slight against them, however. Luckily their own leaders are breeding them out of existence in their own country with the cheap labor/mass immigration policy.
