Nice.
And your little tin god De Valera, the man who had Michael Collins murdered, was a massive Hitler-fancier who, according to the US ambassador in Dublin at the time, fully expected and hoped that Hitler would win the war and was shocked and downcast to realise, after Alamein, that that was not going to happen. The so-called president of Ireland, Hyde, was just as big a Nazi as De Valera and both of them paid condolence calls on the Nazi ambassador in May of 1945 to express their deep grief at Hitler's death. While De Valera's visit was on public record, Hyde's was kept a state secret until the 21st century. It had nothing to do with public diplomacy. It had everything to do with private sympathy.
In short, there's only one Nazi sympathiser round here, and it's you, Marty. It's you.
