Name of Simon Wiesenthal has been diminished - President

President of Ireland, Mary McAlease has claimed that the actions of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in relation to the Hunt Meuseum, has diminished the good name of the Nazi hunter the institution is named after.

The president was touring the mid west region today, and took time out to visit the museum, which was established by the late John and Gertrude Hunt.

The Wiesenthal Centre had claimed that artefacts in the Limerick museum were booty from the persecution of Jewish families during the reign of the Third Reich. This claim was late last year proven to be incorrect.

Speaking to a gathering at the museum, she described how, when younger, Simon Weisenthal was a man she had great respect for, however the actions of the Wiesenthal Centre had diminished his name.

    Well done to Mary McAlease. The Wiesenthal Centre was way out of order. Still no sign of an apology from them.

    I believe they've taken umbrage at President McAleese's remarks. Was mentioned on the "Pat Kenny Show" this morning but I didn't hear much of it.
    Doesn't sound like an apology is forthcoming - if at all. Arrogance of a type I'd expect from those who persecuted the people whom the Weisenthal Centre claims to represent.

    I don't think the President would have said something like that lightly. The Wiesenthal Centre are now saying her comments were "uncalled for". They can make unfounded allegations against people but when someone shoots back,my don't we get all precious. They did great work but are still not above criticism.

    Mary McAleese was spot on, and if the Wiesenthal Centre don't like, maybe they should have had it's own house in order and she wouldn't have had to make them in the first place. I see the poll on rte.ie, is overwhelmingly in support of teh presidents comments.
  • HELLO!
    Scannal! Scannal! Scannal!

    Éigeandáil! Éigeandáil! Éigeandáil!

    SCANDALS! SCANDALS! SCANDALS!

    EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!

    MANY OF THE WORST CASES OF RACIAL PREJUDICE IN WORLD HISTORY!

    PLEASE TELL PRESIDENT MARY MCALEESE IMMEDIATELY!

    (There are thousands of copies of the information below on the Internet in Ireland.)

    LONG LIVE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

    Barack Obama is a racial minority and does not like racism.

    WORLDWIDE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO SCANDALS:

    (I) I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed atrocious, racist, hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even until the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    (II) It is opined that Bill Clinton committed terrifying, racist, hate crimes during his presidency, and I am not free to say anything further about it. ‘Be sure your sins will find you out’ (Numbers 32:23).

    (III) What if basically all racial minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.

    (IV) I know it may be hard to believe. However, Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.
