Opinion of Ian Paisley

[Robespierre's Jaw]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Paisley

He is a horrible, horrible person.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

In a word LOUD


You can't call him, Gerry Adams, or any of them FF's or HP's (well maybe Gerry has a good shot at HP...) but we're all going to throw in our bias based on our own religion or "Irish Americans" not knowing what in the hell they're talking about.

I recall this coming up before (pre-Paisley as First Minister, IIRC) and feeling that the HP/FF distinction didn't really work (as in most instances). I think this still applies.

He has done and said some really horrible things in the past; but there are some positives also - chief among them bringing the DUP into power-sharing with Sinn Féin.

I prefer to look to the future and in this regard, at the moment, things look very positive for the vast majority in the North (for the first time in a very long time) and without Paisley it wouldn't have the gloss that it does.

Horrible HP

A rare example of a man who gets less senile as he gets older.

Horrible Person easily.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Horrible Person easily.

Care to explain?

Uh, read wikipedia's list of quotes from him. That kind of says it all.

That's also my reasonings for hating this prick, known as Northern Ireland's first Minister. I remember he said something along the lines of All Catholics should die in Hell or something very, very similar.
