Irish political parties are trying to use online media. Unfortunately they’re more “trying” than anything else.
Remember the Green Party spamming bloggers?
How about Fine Gael ripping off the BBC website?
Well it looks like the Green Party are definitely outdoing their competitors when it comes to online idiocy. Their official Twitter account posted this charming message earlier this evening:
“If a permatanned, snake-oil selling charlatan like Bill Cullen thinks we’re doing the wrong thing, we must be doing the right thing, right?”
Here’s a screenshot in case they remove it:
I’m not a legal expert, but isn’t that libellous?
If it’s not actually libel, is it the sort of message a political party’s official twitter account should be sending out?
Wouldn’t their time be better spent doing something useful?
