The Wisdom of the Irish
I rarely post audio, but this is priceless.
The speaker is Michael Higgins, the current Irish President.
He describes very well the technique used by the Tea Party in the USA and the likes of Jones, Bolt and others in this country, of whipping up fear and hate to destroy their political opponents.
This guy is about 3'11' tall, but he put this opinionista in his place.
He reminds me of the Irish nuns who provided the backbone in Social Justice that transformed Catholic education in this country.
And, best of all, he called Michael Graham a wanker on air.
Listen right through to the end.
