Before or after thaksidermy?
Do you have 'the cure'?

With proper thaksinations?

Will the party include thaksi-dancers?
Who give thaktual sensations?

Or maybe some attitude adjustment via stereo-thaksis?

I'll stop to go on would be tacky...

A disinterested person reading the comments calling for Thaksin's demise or comparing him to Kim Il Jung and Hitler, would wonder as to the sanity of such people making these wild and exaggerated statements. Do you people ever stop to consider what your comments reflect? Whatever, Mr. Thaksin's sins and faults they are no more than many of the people currently in power. And yet, I do not see any of you clamouring for the death of various military generals or condemning various ministers past and present.

I would have respect for your views if they were at least consistent. Thaksin is an easy target. However, I dare any of you brave self appointed defenders of democracy to go and confront one of the army generals and tell him what your views are. You won't because you are scared of the ramifications. Instead you piss all over Thaksin because like good bullies you can get away with it. The constant cheap shots at the people of Isaan, the Redshirts and Thaksin speak to your arrogance and ignorance.

People do not follow a leader like Mr. Thaksin unless they feel disenfranchised and without hope. Treat the supporters of Thaksin with dignity and respect and stop exploiting them, and you will see Mr. Thaksin's support disappear. More importantly, I defy any of you to put your identities behind your pleas for Mr. Thaksin's death in a public statement, such as a newspaper ad, instead of hiding in an anonymous forum tossing cheapshots. You won't because you are cowards. Talk is cheap. If you are that unhappy go out in public, stand up and say something.


Sir,
We are entitled to our opinion...under the "belov'd leader" a bully boy or two would have been around to our newspaper with various threats to put up and shut up!

A "piffle" on your offended sensibilities! The man (and I use that word against my better judgment) is and was a liar and a thief, his megalomania and corruption dam_n'd near broke this country of hard working, land deprived, mis-used peasants (and I use the word in the "Chinese" sense, proud country folk) in order to enrich himself, his family, his cronies, his classmates and his extended Clan, then had the cheek to blame everyone else for his troubles.

Sir, you have hitched yourself to the wrong horse for all of the wrong reasons.

Comparing the manner of Thaksin's election to Hitler's is valid.

No one said Thaksin was as bad as Hitler,
only the fact that BOTH men were elected similarly. And it ended badly for them.
Not all properly elected officials were GOOD DECISIONS by the electorate.
Though that fact won't be known by that electorate till later on.

On the other hand the casualties of the War on Drugs and Tak Bai incident
has lead to calls for Thaksin's trial at The Hague.

he's not exiled, just a typical criminal that doesn't feel like serving time or standing in court to face the other charges.

So not quite on the exiled hero type level...more along the lines of the guys who go hide in Spain or Brazil.


He maybe criminal to you... but please take a good look at, how many Thai people do support him.
He must have done so many good things for them, especialy for Issan people :)

BKK Post reporting that the Red Shirts are going ahead with the birthday bash as planned at Sanam Luang.

In case you're not clued in, many people will find this highly antagonistic. I'm starting to believe he's after a repeat performance of Songkran, no matter what the cost.

I hope those trouble makers that gathered there despite the warning will be dealt with!

... and cue the back-peddling by Mr President:

................................

Thaksin says no Sanam Luang party
Published: 8/07/2009 at 01:41 PM

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had phoned and said he did not want the red-shirts to hold a 60th birthday party for him at Sanam Luang, Noppadon Pattama said on Wednesday .

Mr Noppadon said Thaksin thought it would not be suitable to hold the celebration to mark his birthday at the main public ground. However, he thanked red-shirt people for their good intentions.

Red-shirts won’t drop Thaksin party

Members of the United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will not scrap plans to celebrate the 60th birthday of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, UDD leader Natthawut Saikuea said on Friday.

UDD leaders were making preparations. The exact date and venue of the ceremony in Bangkok would be disclosed by another UDD core leader, Shinawat Haboonpad, Mr Natthawut said.

A provincial birthday party for Thaksin would be held in At Samat district of Roi-Et.

It seems you have swallowed the BKK Post/Nation agenda hook, line and sinker. I keep hoping that traditionally Democratic Farang's will be more discerning when faced with that unending barrage of anti-democracy rhetoric from their Thai English media.
