Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1This is actually the first time I've heard of them actually turning down an image - interesting -
It is a great poster!
What is offensive here is that the man who is the object of this protest is responsible for turning the world upside down with his deliberate and planned 'war on terror', based on subverted intelligence by his own office and advisors.
So far 1,200,000 murdered, 500,000 widows and 5,000,000 orphans. And a country destroyed, again, having been disarmed twice by the UN and 960,000 of its children starved to death by US/K sanctions from 1991/ 1998. So it is easy to see where the DCC officials stand on the issue when other peoples children being massacred with the help of Irish politicians. They could give a damn........
They are no better than the police in Shannon........
I also find the poster of George W. Bush offensive. And anyone with a concience would, which is why it is imperative to get it up.But it is easy to see where DCC stand on the issue.
I do have a complaint though, a serious one.
Turning GW Bush into comical figure in this poster deflects real anger and the issue which is where mainstream controlled media deliberately channel most dissident anger into humour through puppet comedians under the guise of freedom of expression on Fox, Cnn, Abc,Nbc etc..
There are only a handful of comedians capable of conveying the message without loosing the anger, but you wont see them on TV. .
If anybody has lost track of fundamental values, it is somebody in Dublin City Council who has lost track of constitutional values, e.g. the right to free speech, as expressed in Article 40 of the Constitution of Ireland:
"FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
Personal Rights
Article 40
...
6. 1° The State guarantees liberty for the exercise of the following rights, subject to public order and morality:
i. The right of the citizens to express freely their convictions and opinions.
... "
No official in Dublin City Council has the right to ban a poster on the pretext that somebody might find it offensive.
Some people may well find it offensive to see George Bush portrayed as a dopey gunman, but it is the constitutional right of any citizen to express the opinion that he is just that. Sometimes political opinions will be offensive to people of other political persuasions, and that does not invalidate them.
A key point in the obligation of the state and local authorities such as city councils to uphold the constitutional - nay, universal! - principle of free speech is that they must defend or even encourage the expression of political opinions and convictions that some people may find offensive. Otherwise, there would be nothing to uphold.
Somebody ought to be asked to resign from the city council for this interference in the constitutional rights of the citizens of the Republic.
I support your demonstrations against the City Council's disgraceful attack on this most basic democratic freedom. Ya basta! See you on Saturday.
Coilín.
I would prefer if Saddam had never been in power in the first place.
Which he wouldnt have been if the CIA hadnt put him there
Just like they did with the Taliban.
looks like a reasonable poster to me
