They too are whores of George Bush
The Leadership of Sinn Fein are for the war there support for the IAWM is shambolic - Follow the money trail - you can bet your bottom doller they won't be there to support us tomorrow.
Ladies and Gentlemen lets consider where SF gets its money from, lets say ‘97 to ’01 please find below a copy of a document I’ve seen: my favorite “donation” has to be the cheque for US$295,740 in ’01 from the boys and gals on Wall Street – that seems a long way from a “tin” in a pub in west Belfast! Perhaps it’s one of those new Laundromats – I know SF like to recycle their money.

Seems to me like SF raise a massive amount of money in the US, one wonders how anti-US they’ll be now that the war in Iraq started!
I’m sure their principals will come first!
Fuck Sinn Fein!

Fuck Labour, SF and the Greens we've realised that they were only in if the the PR, we're comming out today and we're going to take the Dáil are you with us! Its now or never - public oppinion will be with us!
Smash the state!
we are not with you because you were not with us when public opinion was also on our side -
smash your own state
start at the top and work yr way down
that catholic bunch are just plain fucked up, any how we're all up - looking forward to having our voices heard today! vive la revolution! see ya'all bout 10am, today's the day to bring the govt down!
What does Sinn Fein have to do with anti-War? They're not pacifists.
what sort of shite is this Dave ?
just becuase Sinn Fein raises money in US and OZ , how the fuck do you come to the conclusion that they are backing the war .
Thousand of ordinary ex pats have contributed to that money not "Wall St."
Dave ,
why are you attacking Sinn Fein? Should we not attact those who are pro-war, not those who are out marching with us?
I suggest you do similar research into Fianna Fail and Progressive Democrat money sources . Anyway your doing good work for the Government Dave, maybe Joe Walsh will let you wear his Grand Cross. The one he got from the so called Spanish King the week after he dodged Irish Farmers when they drove to Dublin to see him.
On the day war breaks out in Iraq, on the day when the Yanks and the Brits are murdering Iraqi people you can't find anything better to do than attack the Shinners?
Not everyone that is anti war is a pacifist. I am not a pacifist, the problem I have with this war is that is not in the interests of ordinary people it is about Oil and Profits. That is why I oppose it. I would be prepared to support any war that is a genuine one that liberates people. Foir example I would critically support the Vietnamese in the Vietnam war.
As a supporter of the movement, I am unhappy with our lack of action so far, we have enough apeople and could easily shut down Shannon and elsewhere if we really wanted, unlike the hot air merchants in the swp and sp who have no popular support among the Irish people.
A little bit of more research would have shown that FSF is actually Friends of Sinn Fein who raise money in the traditional way in US, through dinner dances, raffles, draws etc. The money raised by FSF is usually through in the blue collar areas of NE USA.
Although you are keen on slagging us off I suppose you don't obejct to SF lending their considerable activist base to assist with postering or stewarding in the anti-war demos. And the SF councillors and TDs arranging for motions and questions in Leinster house and city hall?
Now lets get real and stay united and focused.
Lets hope all shades of the politcal spectrum are at the US embassy tonight.
im not attacking the rank and fine of SF if you'll excuse the pun, its the leadership - it explains why they haven't really being pushing the walk out etc, it all adds up.
The money would dry out if Adams was seen in an anti war protest - I stand over what I said - they've sold us out.
