That's two links on this guy that shows true colors. As for the Irish pride thing...

A bit of a history lesson. There is another symbol that held deep meaning for many people until Nazis tainted it forever. Those people, instead of trying to reclaim it signed a pledge to ban it's use, because they recognized what it meant to the world, and to the millions murdered under it's image. That people are using it now when antisemitism is a big concern is troubling.
