No, I was refering to MattinNYC. Matt was the one invoking the family, and how if his Irish-American extended family was all nice and decent, even the GOP voting abortion-opponent ones, then all must be good and righteous. Same thread, same subthread.

His logic appears unobjectionable to you, mine less so.

Why is that?

Ok, cut it both of you.

You are obviously as far removed from the topic of this diary as it gets.

Somehow "who said what" is not very relevant to the possibilities of an outbreak of endemic nationalism in Europe. Or so it looks to me.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Well, in part at least because Matt wasn't casting aspersions on tens of millions of people, so his argument is of less concern to me.  (Remember, you said "right-wing," not conservative, which is much stronger language.)

Your logic has been flawed since your first comment, and you've offended a number of people.

But if if it makes you feel less like a victim of some massive Irish-American plot to destroy you, I'll say this:  Nobody in this thread has cited adequate evidence to prove that the "average" Irish-American is either conservative or liberal.  

Now honestly, I don't have time to chase around shadows any more tonight.  If you have some problem with hyphenated-Americans in general, which is what I see you're now claiming, then write a diary about it and let's stop cluttering up this one with irrelevant arguments about who's the worst racist.
