Note from You Tube:

This is an edited version of the exchange - you can hear it all here: http://media.newstalk.ie/extra/1602/popup

From May 2010, an exchange between Michael D Higgins (who was elected President of Ireland last year) and Tea Party-loving radio guy Michael Graham on Irish radio station Newstalk 106-108fm.

Apologies for closing the comments on the video, I tried opening them before but was inundated with racist bile from deranged Tea Party supporters (by the way: it's 'Muslim', not 'muslin', and it's 'Kenya', not 'kenyah') .... and life's too short for that. Sorry, haven't the time to be wading through them all, you can comment on any of the sites where the video is appearing. Thanks.

This truly moved me to tears. The video has been posted before, but we should expect our party to listen to this and speak this powerfully. No more wishy washy.

2. Be proud to be a decent American!

rather than a Te-Wanker whipping up fear!

3. Absolutely fantastic

He's a very well spoken guy, very intelligent too. After the tragic abortion case in Ireland last week, he's been very outspoken about finding a solution, almost overstepping his powers as President in the process.

4. Awesome!

I wish more people in America would use his tactics while dealing w the teabaggers who have radio shows. Of course, Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh would just hang up, or scream even louder.
Score one for some damn common sense!

5. Awesome is a very good choice of words.

I want to hear more like that.

8. Nothing quite like a good old fashioned Irish spanking.
