However, Here the OBA claims they did not  create the post, but it created by one of their loyal supporters. But the OBA must take full responsibility as it was their decision to post it on their TWITTER ACCOUNT....big Mistake at best. 

Stop playing the BLAME GAME, as Leah Scott pointed out, and I been saying for a few years now, move on and Apology, and accept your wrong doings.  COme on......

		<description><![CDATA[Brilliance of this young man is outstanding. Its good to see young man standing up for what they believe is a critical issue. BREAST CANCER is so important. Sad the government has turned it into such a Mockery. 

I will not guess or debate over who created the post, as the individual will live with their own guilt., if they have a conscious.  It is clear that it was distasteful and hurtful to many who suffer from Breast Cancer and the push by &quot;Bras for Cause&quot; to stop government from changing the law. 

It is unfortunate that the Government decided to fall for such a silly post and Twitter it on their main account. This speaks to the fact that fault lies with the OBA government for poor judgment and poor PR officers role in this entire mess. 

Why did the OBA Government do such a silly thing. Twitter reaches many, and what&#039;s more sillier is their unwillingness to remove it. Premier Dunkley needs to step up to a higher ground on this matter, and down his Political Sword and Ego. 

Many Campaigns in support of Breast Cancer often feature Men wearing Bras. It is common approach to promote awareness and support. OBA seem to be unaware that this form of support for Breast Cancer is often used by many all over the world. Thus, it goes with out saying, Bermuda would use a similar method of promotion.

It is painful that some folks and OBA supporters do not see beyond the real issue here. The total disrespect for young man who have suffered the pain of losing a love one to breast Cancer. The young man were encouraged to take a picture, in support of all persons who suffered from Brest Cancer. 

We deserved so much more from out Government, we deserve a higher level of governance, and not a knee jerk reaction to everything. I call on the government stand up and forward an Apology, and get on with creation of JOB for all. Please.......]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both the PLP and the OBA need to &quot;come out of the closet&quot; and to the right thing for Human Rights.

The fact that NEITHER PARTY haas yet to support SAME SEX MARRIAGE says they both have their heads in the sand.

That is the true mockery....that is denial of human rights. 
So the gotcha politics of Dunkley and Baron walking on the grass over bras OR the OBA tweet ..... is all a side show and really quite pathetic.

DO THE RIGHT THING OBA/PLP and stop hiding on this most important issue. Have the guts to do the right thing.... No one is saying we want to force the &quot;CHURCH&quot; to perform SAME SEX MARRIAGE ...IF indeed that is what you politicians are worried about....
We are saying make SAME SEX MARRIAGE legal in Bermuda via civil ceremony, beach weddings etc, and give same sex couples ALL the RIGHTS opposite sex couples have.....]]></description>

<p>The fact that NEITHER PARTY haas yet to support SAME SEX MARRIAGE says they both have their heads in the sand.</p>
<p>That is the true mockery&#8230;.that is denial of human rights.<br />
So the gotcha politics of Dunkley and Baron walking on the grass over bras OR the OBA tweet &#8230;.. is all a side show and really quite pathetic.</p>
<p>DO THE RIGHT THING OBA/PLP and stop hiding on this most important issue. Have the guts to do the right thing&#8230;. No one is saying we want to force the &#8220;CHURCH&#8221; to perform SAME SEX MARRIAGE &#8230;IF indeed that is what you politicians are worried about&#8230;.<br />
We are saying make SAME SEX MARRIAGE legal in Bermuda via civil ceremony, beach weddings etc, and give same sex couples ALL the RIGHTS opposite sex couples have&#8230;..</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s the gutter politics that is discouraging would-be politicians and community leaders. Why make the effort to become involved, to make changes, to affect the islands future only to be called a racist, a surrogate, a xenophobe, a homophobe, a criminal, an insulter of cancer patients, have your &quot;Bermudian-ness&quot; questioned and be accused of corruption for your trouble? Mr Hill is out there because he wants to play that game. He is a perpetuation of everything wrong with politics in Bermuda and is called &quot;strong&quot; because of it. If he could put out his positive messages without partaking in the gutter tricks and fights then I&#039;d perhaps believe his intentions were well meaning, but as it is he is in the paper more often in veiled attempts to cause controversy and outrage than any non-partisan helpful messages.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it difficult to wrap my head around the evident outrage that Eron Hill is expressing over what is merely an attempt at humour...the caption on the photo is in poor taste perhaps, but defamation??  The only real damage to your reputation vis-a-vis this issue is self-inflicted in that it reveals your level of self-importance and the degree of pomposity you have attained.  So what if the caption suggests that you, Famous and Dickerson support Catherine [sic] Jenner?  Would that not be a good thing? You need to stop nit-picking and trying to make mountains out of mole-hills when there are more important issues to spend your energies on. A word of caution...you&#039;re quickly entering &quot;patsy&quot; territory.]]></description>

I am no lawyer but if already in the public domain there are no damages and there is no such thing as the CPR in Bermuda.

Also that is not a without prejudice letter - he released it to the public (completely prejudicial) and he has put facts in it.

		<description><![CDATA[You go to love Bermuda.

All this outrage over this tweet, but the same people saw nothing wrong with the following:

-	Jahmal Simmons’ highly disturbing tweets (who in turn was rewarded for his divineness with a PLP candidacy and is now an MP)

-	Makai Dickerson’s blatantly sexist cartoons during the 2012 PLP election campaign

-	Eron Hill’s KKK OBA social media post.  I hope the OBA now sues him for such a disgusting correlation.

-	Christopher Famous’ blatant half-truth articles against the OBA in which he feels free to omit pieces of information when making his lopsided arguments and as such completely misrepresenting the positions of other that he hates so much

Bermuda is another world.  Don’t apologise OBA.  Show the Party of ‘do what I say and not what I do’ that you can play their silly games as well.]]></description>

A whole list of miss-steps and disavowing of it&#039;s own campaign promises which have even dishearten an increasing number of voters who supported them. Just after a poll said they have no connection with the people; they have proven it with their reaction to the recent woman&#039;s protest over breast examinations and even one of their own MP&#039;s have pleaded that they take more concern over the concerns of the people.

A whole list of miss-steps and disavowing of it&#8217;s own campaign promises which have even dishearten an increasing number of voters who supported them. Just after a poll said they have no connection with the people; they have proven it with their reaction to the recent woman&#8217;s protest over breast examinations and even one of their own MP&#8217;s have pleaded that they take more concern over the concerns of the people. But I doubt if this runaway train is going to slow down or even take a different path no matter what their political polls state.</p>

How mature.

So, when Eron posted the pic of the hooded OBA guy, that wasn&#039;t spurious or defamatory?  

Ridiculous.

We have much bigger issues to deal with, this is silly sidetracking nonsense.
