James; I'd agree with you. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are (as well as arrogance, need to dominate and seize power);

Reacting badly to criticism. Tick.
Lacking empathy. Tick.
Exaggerating own achievements. Tick.
Fantasising about things that never happened at all. Tick

I knew to evening psych class I took would pay off some day.

James,

I think there is much in what you say about that narcissistic personality disorder.

Larry,
I'm just hoping for your sake that our pal Piers Morgan isn't heading over to Ireland to take up his anti gun crusade. It is all he ever talks about. Remember, when seconds count the police are only minutes away!

Information you might need , sorry but windy it might have seemed but actually it was blowing an absolute Hooley, rain and wind lashing down for most of the service. Drawing pins would have been as useful as an ash tray on a motor bike, the black rubber might have looked unsightly but what would the criticism have been if the flag had blown off and flew down the Castletown River.
Cheers and thanks for letting us all know that the Provo’s are no longer with us, who told you, was it Gerry and the Peacemakers

Michael, what part of they are poking fun a Gerry Adams can't you understand? How can Gerry Adams (as you pointed out and several others long before you) claim to speak for an Army that he wasn't involved in or no longer exists? I can't speak for former (or present) members of the PRM simply because I wasn't a member (neither was Gerry)

You should learn to proof read and think about what you say before hitting 'publish'. Maybe (give you the benefit of doubt), in your head your ideas and arguments make sense but on 'paper' they don't..

How pathetic is correct.

A quick apology for the killing of Garda McCabe then here I am at the funeral of Garda Donoghue. I the bringer of peace to Ireland. The cameras see me; a funereal leader among leaders, I share their disgust, the cameras must record that and show it later.

I also share their hypocrisy but they won't allow me to share it with them. I must stand outside their circles and be pointed at. Ridiculed.

Bastards! I brought peace, the cameras know that.

The cameras also record that I am not attending the funeral of the Republican Dolours Price; a dastardly dissident. My place is now here among the leaders, for I am a leader too.

I lead the peace process, it is my peace process. I lead the way in campaigning for the removal of the border.

I also led a generation of young Republicans to early graves or long years in prison for a 32 County Socialist Republic and not a border poll.
I know most of the graveyards in Ireland, the cameras recorded my presence in them - at the graves.

This is where I am today, in a graveyard; the cameras are here too. And so are the other leaders.

"Unscrupulous politicians and so called 'Peacemakers' "

Was it really I who said that?

2013-02-02T19:55:59.594Z

Any Thespian would have been proud of that "superficial apology". It was presented and delivered at on the best publicity circuit in the free state. ie the Dail. The sole purpose of it was not to express remorse,regret or solidarity with the Garda family. It was purely political, to edge closer to the fainna fail in the terms of so-called respectability in the south. It also illuminates the Narcissistic personality disorder of the man in which it is a personality disorder in which the individual is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity of himself. Again, there will be no bounds to a person with this disorder.

2013-02-02T19:45:57.294Z

Exactly Anthony and the question that I think should be asked of the whistling Brownie,is on whose behalf exactly was he issuing that apology on,did for example the now defunct AC reconvene and if so under what authority and who elected them? or did he offer it as president of Q$£ who to my certain knowledge never killed anyone therefore making his apology irrelevant,do you catch my drift a cara?.

Boyne Rover-

I Know it was windy during the funeral thats why i said drawing pins should have been used- juat to throw a big black rubber band over the flag shows no respect for their dead colleague- its just an opionion of mine-

" it really should have come from a member of the Provisional IRA "

I dont see how-the Provos are at peace with the world-they are no more-they no longer exist-read a paper once in a while and find out whats going on-

2013-02-02T17:56:03.684Z

Boyne Rover,

it was the type of foot in the mouth comment that Michaelhenry is prone to make. Gerry told him it was sunny last Wednesday and he believed it.

On your point that a member of the PIRA should have made that apology I would argue that the most important commander in the history of PIRA made the statement in the Dail last week. How many gardai were killed while he was on the army council? Here are five for starters:

Henry Byrne
Frank Hand
John Morley
Garry Sheehan
Jerry McCabe

That is why his apology does not amount to a hill of beans. It is deceitful, the intent was to conceal rather than reveal. Apologising while abdicating responsibility is a luxury for him and an insult to the families of the dead he is trying to con.

There is no end to what this person has inflicted on people the length and breadth of this country. He really needs to move off screen and allow decency to breathe.

2013-02-02T17:15:56.033Z

Michaelhenry
I always believed you were from some part of this island and you supported Sinn Fein, but after making a such a statement just made makes think you are from some other part of the world or else you live here but never go outside your house, or maybe you seething because Gerry Adams apologised to the people of the Republic of Ireland for the slaughter of members of their police force when it really should have come from a member of the Provisional IRA

Anyone see pictures of the Garda's funeral-a black rubber band was wrapped over the coffin and national flag when a few drawing pins instead would have shown a lot more respect-

Belfast Bookworm
Arthur had the safest Sinn Fein seat in the 26 counties, to appease the Leaders appetite for power at any cost Arthur was pushed aside and Gerry stepped safely in, The Sinn Fein Leader has forgotten that he got elected on the back of a failed Fianna Fail government and not because he was just Gerry Adams
Danny forty hats

2013-01-31T21:32:02.977Z

Boyne Rover; what was the story with Arthur Morgan? Was he sidelined?

To be honest, I can see why Adams didn't attend Dolours funeral. One, he wasn't wanted and is cute enough to know he'd have been told to GTF had he weighed in, but secondly - and regardless of how close he and Dolours once were, she called him out and he most likely despised her for this
As well as the fact she showed him up by remaining true to herself and republicans and even he'd have a brass neck to show up.

Re; the PRO showing up - he got a new hat and wanted to show it off.

2013-01-31T20:45:06.737Z

For years I wondered was there no one else in the West Belfast area that could represent the good people of the Falls and Andersontown , but sadly not and then what happened, Co Louth inherited him, he came into the Wee County all guns blazing (pardon the pun) and continued to give the people his well rehearsed Ballymurphy tripe, he shafted one of the best representatives the Cooley peninsula has ever had in the Dail , Arthur Morgan Sinn Fein.
The great peace maker has vomited out his gibberage to all that would listen about how great he is.
But how a week can change and show the real person that struts his stuff in Cooley.
Dolours Price was found dead, she was formerly a great friend of Gerry’s and the great one declares he wont be attending her funeral ????
Garda Adrian Donahue is slaughtered by thugs who believe its their right to rob the community of their hard earned money.
Both these incidents caused great pain for a lot of people for different reasons , the first hurdle Gerry crossed easily because he had convinced all his lambs that Dolours was a liar end of
But in the second which happened to one of his own constitutes, has caused him a lot of trouble and will for a long time
Because Adrian was not only a Garda , he was a member of the GAA in the area which brings out an even greater feeling of revulsion.
Gerry had to move quickly and the best he could muster was to apologise for the murder of Garda McCabe. When he stood up in the Dail to announce that he was apologising on behalf of republicans for the murder of Gerry McCabe he was only thinking of himself and most certainly not Anne McCabe, why he thought Anne would now want to hear such insincerity at this most inappropriate time when he has spent the past 17 years telling downright lies beggars belief.
PS
Former PRO Sinn Fein attends Dolours Price funeral , why would he attend after the bad things she said about Gerry who Danny once said he completely believed ??????

2013-01-31T19:37:08.976Z

Marty,

this is the point. If his apology was not for reasons of sheer opportunism he would stop lying that he was not on the army council at the time Gerry McCabe was killed. But of course, it was somebody else's army that did it. He was a prince of peace.

He apologised not because he gives one toss about Gerry McCabe or his family but because he considers it politically disadvantageous not to apologise.

Then he will go around bad mouthing Gerry McCabe to the grunts - 'conned the Dail, lads, what do you think of that?'

And Jimmy Savile was accused of having groomed a nation.

2013-01-31T15:43:28.290Z

Adams used yesterday,s funeral to issue an apology for the killing of members of free state forces, the cunning bastard knew that to criticise that would attract the comment that one was a supporter of whoever killed this garda, the west Belfast deserter has made a fortune out of illegality and some of that included murder his comments and timing are as grossly offensive to those who support the state and those who believe the state has usurped them,no apology from the state has ever been forthcoming for Ballyseedy,the heavy gang or lack of justice for the relatives of the Dublin or Monaghan bombings,Adams has become a crawling lackey like De Rossa and co before him, his comments make me puke, I condemn that gardas murder for the complete waste that it is and unlike Adams not for some opportunistic media byte that may ingratiate himself with his new found cronies in the Dail.

'We need some damn gun control in Ireland! What is it with the out of control gun culture in the Emerald Isle?'

Cracker!! our problem was always we never had enough guns and then when we did our 'leaders' gave em away for wee jobs and big houses seemingly.
