Frontline

The incident on Frontline 9/11/2009 between Alan O Brien and Pat Kenny

Pat Kenny and the Heckler God bless him

Hi

I'm sure most people have seen or heard about the incident on RTE's programme Frontline,the show hosted by Pat Kenny. I've watched it a few times on Youtube and other online video sites. The conclusion I've come to is that guy Alan O Brien who ranted at Pat Kenny was just showing his frustration at these so called "liberal nice guys".

You know the type : Pat ( Just give me an Old Age Pensioner and a field, and I'll show you how tough I can be ) Kenny, Joe ( I'll share your hurt but not my money or my 16 weeks holidays a year) Duffy, Bono ( Feed the world.. with your money not mine), Bob ( Thanks for the Ethopian famine. I was fucked otherwise) Geldoff, Michael D ( A charde, dont worry about my 3 pensions and my dail salary and expenses I'm a man of the people even if they are ignorant smelly peasants) Higgins, and of course not forgetting Christy ( Diddly diddly do, I dont support the IRA anymore I need something more up to date to kick start my fading career) Moore.

For years they have been spouting about one fashionable cause or another. They all support each other because they are all on the same band wagon . Has Ethopia improved much since Geldoff made a very lucrative career out of it ? I dont think so. Has Africa sorted out its problems . Sorry Bono the only thing that has is the A list in your little red book and the money you have hid in your tax haven in Holland. Now Mr Duffy Joe "me auld segousha". Ireland is still a corrupt and unfair nation regardless of the 75 minute steam release valve which is your radio programme Liveline on RTE. Your cute enough to pull back and change the subject when it gets too hot for your cronies or too close to the bone about your lavish salary and RTE contract. " Local lad does well me arse " Joe we all know your allegiances. Christy ( Diddly didddly do) Moore has been quiet of late. No Carnsore Point, Nicuagrian Socialist rebels, Poor misfortunate pregnant teenagers To bleed. But mostly no ballads about misguided young men who sacrified there lives on hunger strikes, that helped to make Christy enough money to live the life of the " concerned ballader" Shame on you Christy

This is just a small list of leeches that have been thriving in our so called Celtic Tiger Economy. I'm not sure how long more we will put up with their ungenuine concerns before the nation as a whole realises what a load of mingers and scroungers these people are.. So I say good man Alan more power to your elbow. I think you have possibly woken up a lot of people in Ireland and abroad to what's been going on in this beautiful country of ours.. Lets keep it up. We have them on the run
