Told that Pim Fortuyn loved animals, for example, O'Toole quipped: "Fascists tend to love animals." "Hitler loved them too," agreed his Irish Times colleague Lara Marlowe. "He did indeed," chuckled O'Toole.

My local zookeeper loves animals too -- what a fascist... giggle, silly freeping giggle.

Personally speaking....Fintan O'Toole (seen by many as the bastion of Irish journalism)..is a grade A a-hole. But it's not his comments that the journalist in question makes issue with.

I think it's a very valid commentary. And when I as an Irish girl, comes on this site and ses European bashing all the time. (Hey, I'm Irish, but I'm also European). I like to show that we are not all non-washing sheeple followers. :-)

It's a good article. In my opinion anyway.
