Libertas didn't break rules with €700,000 book handout

I'd rather than mod or comment on Lisbon/Libertas stuff, but I will intervene if necessary

Yes. That really would be a first.

Yes. That really would be a first.

Is that your entire purpose here, to make bit*hy little snipes at people all the time? It's about all you ever do.

As for the rest of you, it's gas. You guys report everything that goes slightly ary with out campaign as some sort of massive crisis that will destroy the party, you try to paint everything we do as being sinister and wrong and now when SIPO have come out and said that what we did wasn't in contravention of any laws and we didn't anything wrong you lot are still trying to paint it as though we did. I would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic.

That's a lie. I branded the concerted group of idiots who turned every Libertas thread into an attack on Declan Ganley at any cost using the most disgraceful smears and lies, as lowlife scum. And I stand by it.

Care to name names.. to avoid offending all posters with doubts/questions about Libertas unnecessarily?

In the meantime some tips to help you enjoy your time at Libertas HQ (and avoid those evil Schuman based eurocrats)

An excellent book that vindicates the goal of transparency that the yes-camp hates so much when it comes to Lisbon. It says a lot about their commitment to transparency when they want to hide the implications of the treaty from the public by a change in the law.

This, from someone who complained vociferously about the DFA's explanatory site on Lisbon as outrageous propaganda and a violation of McKenna etc etc.

Let's be clear - Libertas have got away with this on a technicality. It's true that the loophole is there because our politicians wanted it there, but we are not our politicians. Once again, Libertas' supporters are in the position of claiming that two wrongs make Libertas right.

Will you give similar condemnation to Declan Ganley for his astonishing smear on Naoise Nunn yesterday?

[toxic avenger]

Yes. That really would be a first.

Why do you keep trying to smear this site by innuendo and/or falsehood? I have to say it is beginning to really p1ss me off. You, PK, and Kevin Barrington are constantly repeating the same lie, despite it time after time being demonstarated to be false. What does that say about you? If you want to attack Libertas, you'll notice that you have a platform here, in this very site you lie about, to do so. What's with all the lies about the moderation of this site? If you don't like it, go elsewhere.

In actual fact, I praised the report as more balanced that I expected, with my only disagreement in the text being with respect to its position that our neutrality was not affected. It seems this story is a matter of shooting the messenger.
