    Wow.

    On a serious note though as Dustin, or whoever is behind him, is an employee of RTE does that not exhibit a bias onthe part of a state funded body??

    Well the puppeteer owns dustin and he is a private citizen who is allowed to express his opinion. He can't use public funds to do it however.

    This is typical of the level of debate brought by some disparate groups with little logic behind their views.

    Presumably Sinn Fein and Libertas will make it a pre-condition of their "re-negotiation" proposals that Dustin be re-instated in the Eurovision.

    The glove puppet's song Irelande Douze Pointe received too few points from Europeans in the Belgrade contest.

    No campaigners say that result last month should be avenged by rejection of the EU's Lisbon Treaty.

    This bullsh1t makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. What's wrong with formulating decent arguments against the Treaty that aren't based on misinformation, misinterpretation or scandal.

    I would not be so alarmed if such desperate tactics didn't fall on deaf ears. All we get from the no side are an extremist man heading up a political party that until recently kept its own army, uncompromising power-clingers looking to uphold a status quo that happens to be imbalanced in our favour and at the expense of 496 million others, scaremongers more partial to a Constitution that thinks all women should be housewives and -if that didnt beat all- a terminally unsuccessful Eurovision 'entertainer'.

    No side- how low can you go?

    I concur, there are plenty of proper serious reasons to vote no anyway.

    This came up on Gerry Ryan (or Ray Darcy one of them) a few weeks ago where the actor behind dustin denounced the posters and are in fact totally unrelated to those behind dustin.

    Look for quotes from dustin in that article and you will find there are none.

    Wow on that basis the yes side is supported by a party who once kept it's own army that fought against the Irish free state in a civil war and killed it's own people and it's last 2 major leaders have most likely been extremely corrupt and just looked after themselves yet gotten away with it because their allies are in power. See we can all play the "point out the political parties flaws game" cause they all have them :)
