INP RIP, David Barrett’s Irish National Party failure
Thursday, March 11th, 2010Its been over a week since the Irish National Party Leader David Barrett was confronted on Newstalk 106fm about his anti Semitic comments. In spite of the fact that David Barrett had admitted on the show that an apology for the comments on his website would be appropriate no apology has been forthcoming.
Barrett also complained that his comments were being taken out of context and were made in jest. He has had over a week to present a context where his comments would be acceptable and hasn’t came up with a word in his own defense. In my opinion thats understandable given the nature of the sort of anti Semitic comments this guy makes. Here they are again for posterity… Just the two that were mentioned on the radio.
“the dirty Jew that lives next door to the parents was in her garden today with a hose washing the patio, there’s a f*cking water shortage! And people wonder what Herr Hitler had an issue with.” and… “Wier mussen die juden austrautten!” (Translation — We must exterminate the Jews)
Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for the badly named bunch of fascists a photo of one of their supporters and close friend of the leader Barrett was published in the Sunday World and what do you know, the guy is either doing a heil Hitler salute or trying to stop a bus indoors.
According to fm104′s Adrian Kennedy an Irish national party representative could not be found for his program last night, so I suspect that Barrett and his cohorts will not be putting up any defense and we have probably heard the last of them. At least in the guise of the INP.
It had always been obvious for for anyone with even a passing interest in the various skinheads, thugs, bully victims and unemployable mental cases that make up the racist right, that the Irish national party was intended to be a front for the hard core Nazis with a thin veneer of respectability pasted over it in order to gain legitimacy and party status. I had expected them to mess it up in some way but I had never expected them to crash and burn in such a glorious fireball of incompetence. (EDIT: As of 12 march the Irish national party site is currently down)

I am just a little interested in the “mark” on Barretts right forearm (enhanced in the fourth and fifth pictures). If anyone has a better picture of it feel free to put a link to it in the box on the contact page. Its for a game I like to play called spot the swastika.
