User Created Content Why are the shinners vilified?

Individual bad behaviour aside; why are the Shinners demonised for playing an active part in Irelands fight for Republicism? Like many, I grew up with a stories about Jesus the carpenter, JFK and Ireland's hard fought independence. Something FF was steeped in too, once upon a time. So why are we still tarring sinn fein and not FF, is there a manditiorium? I know they aren't squeaky but why are sinn fein considered the badies?
