Higgins Outraged When Sinn Fein Leader Stopped By Terrorist Watch List

Mar 18, 2006 - A St. Patricks day crowd in South Buffalo didn’t get to hear the star attraction…he was detained in Washington after turning up on a terrorist watch list.

Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein was detained at Reagan National Airport. Sinn Fein is the political arm of the Irish Republican Army.

Congressman Brian Higgins broke the news to hundreds of people celebrating the holiday at the Irish Center in South Buffalo. “We got a call tonight that Gerry Adams is being detained in Washington for in inordinate period of time because his name turned up on a terror watch list.” The crowd booed the announcement.

Adams is a key figure in the Irish peace process and many credit him for moving that process forward. But he and his party remain controversial. Even though Adams has been in the country for days, and even met with President Bush at the White House, he was denied boarding his flight to Buffalo when his name turned up on the terrorist watch list.

Adams reacted from Washington: “I'm surprised and bewildered as to the rationale and the purpose, I just don't understand it."

Higgins was also puzzled : “I think this administration needs to be more understanding of the issues surrounding the Northern Ireland peace process."

HEHE, poetic justice!!

You are a terrorist, that's why!!!

"“We got a call tonight that Gerry Adams is being detained in Washington for in inordinate period of time because his name turned up on a terror watch list.”"

Note to terrorists planning to travel to the United States: Allow enough room in your itinerary for a little extra scrutiny.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE, they must plan their trips well!!

"Higgins Outraged When Sinn Fein Leader Stopped By Terrorist Watch List "

It would have been an outrage if he wasn't stopped.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Bingo!!

It's amazing how Sinn Fein/IRA and their supporters think they are different from other terrorist groups. I guess that's because political leaders treat them as such - nope, a terrorist is a terrorist.

"A St. Patricks day crowd in South Buffalo didn’t get to hear the star attraction"

What the heck! star attraction? What kind of rhetoric could he possibly be spouting? and sheople are actually willing to pay to hear it?

Are peoples' memories really that short....never mind, no need to answer.

Well this probably put a damper on that night's rendition of the Unicorn Song.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

It's amazing how a terrorist can be treated like celebrity, it was the same with Arafat.

People do seem to have short memories, selective amnesia is powerful!!

[ccmay]

Good. Too bad we can't take the Fenian scum against a wall and pay him back for all he's done.

-ccm

[Irish_Thatcherite]

LOL!!

[FreePaul]

...didn’t get to hear the star attraction...

Surely they could have gone to a local mosque and found a suitable substitute to preach terrorism.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, it's a pity... I hope he was at least strip searched, and the rubber glove was used..... give a whole new meaning to 'Brownie' (Adam's psuedomyn) LOL!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, they couldn't get the Hiberno-fascist, so an Islamofascist will do!!

[RJS1950]

The "Killer Whale" wasn't there to try to get him in under wraps.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I suppose not.

[fanfan]

LOL!

A "Do you know WHO I AM?" moment!

Yes, we do, actually.

[ncountylee]

Hey Higgins....UP THE ORANGE!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE, first time 'Brownie' was treated like a terrorist in years - hope it continues!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes, of course one doesn't need to be a Orangeman to hate the IRA!!

I encounter idiots here that think I'm an Orangeman!! Thankfully, they haven't shown up... yet.

[ncountylee]

Thankfully, they haven't shown up... yet.

The flamers will be coming.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I am ready for them!!

[GregB]

Most of us Irishman want freedom for Ireland,some go about in the wrong way. Look what England exported from Ireland while the Irish starved during the potato famine. England is a terrorist state for what they did to the Irish!!!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Here we go.... the IRA are a terrorist group plain and simple, what the Hell has the modern IRA got to do with a famine 150 years ago?

[OKIEDOC]

Hey, this is Buffalo, not like it's part of normalsville.

[Servant of the 9]

He never should have been let into the country, much less the Whitehouse.

So9

[docbnj]

You mean, look what the Irih exported while their country folk were starving.

Anyway, jumping forward about 150 years, we have a terrorist spokesman surprised that he should be called a terrorist.

Those who speak for the terrorists are their helpers, whether or not they are actually shooting people at the moment.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Which is good to know!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

True, and the British and Irish governments should never have negotiated with them and their Loyalist counterparts.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Hear hear!!

Those who speak for the terrorists are their helpers, whether or not they are actually shooting people at the moment.

Adams is more than that - he is a member of the IRA's 'Army Council' - he's one of the ringleaders!!

[PAR35]

I encounter idiots here that think I'm an Orangeman!! Thankfully, they haven't shown up... yet.

Probably still sleeping it off.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE, probably, although there was one wishy-washy post here already!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I think they usually wait for Easter to sing that.

[JackDanielsOldNo7]

This Higgins?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I do not know... I didn't give it much thought...

[Oztrich Boy]

EVA PERON: Did you hear that? They called me a whore!
They actually called me a whore!

ITALIAN ADMIRAL: But Signora Peron-- It's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral Yet I gave up the sea long ago

[sono]

Chickens coming home to roost. One can only wonder how many more lives would have been spared had the IRA not been on the receiving end of the generosity of Irish Americans.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

LOL!!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

That is true - I wish Bush would put a stop to NORAID!!

[Tulsa Brian]

I hope they gave him a body cavity search...

[Irish_Thatcherite]

HEHE, why do you think his psuedonym was 'Brownie'?

[elc]

Sweet Jesus, a little justice in the world.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Glad Adams got a reminder of what he is!!

[B Knotts]

You are a terrorist, that's why!!!

But the obvious question must then be asked. If he is a terrorist, why was President Bush meeting with him in the White House?

It does seem a bit silly to, on the one hand, invite him to the White House, and on the other hand, detain him from boarding an airplane.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Some of us were discussing it on another thread - the War on Terror is really only a War on Islamofscism - the Bush administration only seems interested in fighting Islamism.

But, I guess the IRA are still recognized as a terror group, thus Adams got detained - and rightly so!
