Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Hmmm, now would this be the same Anthony Coughlan who is warning us that a yes vote for Nice will lead to our being over-run by Mongol hordes from the East?
If there is to be any sort of a principled campaign against Nice then Xenophobic narrow nationalists like Coughlan should be denounced as the rotten rabble rousers they really are.

the campaign to re-defeat the RepeatReferendum on Nice is much too important an issue to allow it to be sabotaged by sect-rivalry!!
If racism is not part of your platform, then bravo, don't make it one, but Defeat Nice!!
If racism is part of your platform, or somebody raises this accusation, then think carefully about how your message is coming across, but Defeat Nice!!
No support for this campaign should be refused, if it includes a genuine and effective opposition to the evils of Nice/NATO. This does not mean that every group has to support ALL politics or positions of ALL others, just the specific one at hand!
I'm sure this renegade and traitorous Government would be only too delighted to attempt subversion of the powerful No-campaign by clandestinely supporting groups dubbed or actually racist, whilst simultaneously agitating their political enemies, natural supporters of the No-campaign, in the hope of producing mass revulsion and thus a major confusion and split in the ranks of the opposition to their confounded plans.
This is quite a common occurence in mainland Europe, whose central governments would be more than willing to offer helpful tips to Bertie's minions in order to save their dreamboat Nice.
One of the best examples of how this can work very powerfully is the case of the German 'AntiFA', whose positions on Israel/Palestine most closely correspond to that of the hateful hard-right-wing of Likud, basically due to the fact that those dubbed 'Nazi' have adopted a political stance opposed to the crimes of the State of Israel, and the 'AntiFA' must therefore reflexively adopt a contrary position - in order to oppose 'Fascism'.
The childishness of this approach should be obvious to all but the most blinded by Ideology and Dogma, and the facility it offers for Govt. subversion equally so.
In the stated case the degree of infiltration and control is absolutely exquisite to behold - the AntiFA 'Left' is basically campaigning for the 'transfer' (=murder) of Palestinians; war of aggression against Iraq; War-on-Terror, you name it - just what ever the Govt. wants but is too shy to say yet.
This should be a stark warning to us all !!
If anyone would like further details, mail me.
