Insane in the Mainframe : Politics.ie under FF attack or not?

category national | arts and media | other press author Monday March 31, 2008 16:51author by skinningthecat Report this post to the editors

This is a very interesting 'theory' about the events concerning Politics.ie and Fianna Fail.
http://skinflicks.blogspot.com/2008/03/politicsie-consp....html

More Info on the situation here:
http://www.stalltheball.com/index.php/2008/03/30/irelan...h_hah

Have looked around and I would say this is having a significant chilling effect on public discussion of the tribunal on the web. Can't talk about it on politics.ie or boards.ie anymore

Significantly the cache is still available on google of the original thread which staryed this off. Search: 'Grainne Carruth politics.ie'

Gene Kerrigan article available here which puts the whole thing in a stark light: http://www.politics.ie/viewtopic.php?t=33229

Democracy or soft dictatorship? You decide.

Excerpt from the 'theory': "It has further been suggested, even in the comments on my post below, that a 'false flag' poster could possibly have gone onto Politics.ie with the express intention of creating a libel, which was then coincidentally spotted almost immediately by a prominent Fianna Fail-supporting poster on the site.
Then the General Secretary of Fianna Fail somehow becomes aware of this alleged libel of a legal firm, who happen to represent the leader of Fianna Fail, and brings it to their attention. They immediately initiate action against Mr Cochrane and Politics.ie.
In addition to the poster alleged to have committed the libel, the firm also demands the identities of others who posted on the topic, but NOT the Fianna Fail supporter who identified the post as potentially libellous.
Instead, they seek the identities of individuals who did not refer to the firm at all in any form, but who are in general noted critics of Fianna Fail. "
