Fine Gael senator describes anti war protesters yesterday as 'Fascist'.

While debating the peacefull anti war protests outside the Dáil yesterday Fine Gael Senator Jim Higgins, who was rejected by the people in the last election described the protest as being "a Fascist display".

This is fairly ironic given the history of his own party! It is also ironic as he is a member of an undemocratic body that is modelled on fascist methods of representation.

PD Senator John Dardis, who was not elected but appointed by Ahern into the Seanad said that "the anti war protesters were extrememly threatening and were intent on creating serious disturbances"

What about the cops? who were they given orders by?
