Special Olympics is fuelled by wholesome, not mercenary, motives

IT was the words of a Protestant clergyman that really upset me this week.

I found them frightening and shocking, and I have been hoping ever since that they were uttered without thought.

No, I'm not talking about the words of Ian Paisley. What Paisley had to say about Brian Cowen was disgusting, racist and premeditated. They were of a piece with the kind of thing he has been doing and saying for 30 years or more. He doesn't care who he insults or offends.
