Suthep threatens pro-UDD officials

By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 7/01/2009 at 12:18 PM

Deputy Prime Minister overseeing national security Suthep Thuagsuban on Wednesday said government officials will be penalised if they get involved with the pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters who threw rotten eggs at Democrat party chief adviser Chuan Leekpai in the northern province of Lampang last week.

Mr Suthep said government officials who are found responsible for this incident would not be transferred but legal actions would have to be taken because it is deemed illegal.

On ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s strong influence and popularity in the North and Northeast, the deputy premier said it will have to be addressed.

He expressed his confidence that the government will not dissolve the parliament within six months despite the mounting protests by the pro-Thaksin UDD demonstrators.

He said former Bangkok governor Apirak Kosayodhin can work as the prime minister’s adviser as the law does not prohibit him.

After being appointed as the governor of Bangkok for the second consecutive term, Mr Apirak resigned for allegedly being involved in the fire engine purchase scandal.

    To Sloth and wtf.

    You are all both so right in your views on the political issues in Thailand of today. It is nice to see that we have such enlightened people in our growing PAD movement. Now I fully understand that we have spent our money wisely.

    Come to think of it. Now that we have kicked this toxic Usurper (Yes that’s THAKSIN) out of office and reclaimed our birth given right to govern this country, now we really have the opportunity to stop this nonsense permanently and set up hinders for such an obscure situation to ever reoccur again. These ignorant, poor, northern excuses of non human low life must once and for all learn the basic fact that their opinions never again will bear any weight when it comes to governing this country.

    Now that we can rightfully claim we gained power in a democratic fashion, we must learn from history and set up solid barriers that secures our future for the next one thousand years and secure us the position where we belong; in charge of the political power of this amazing nation. To obtain that goal we must make sure we can stay in control of courts, the army and the police as we have established the last couple of years. This is the very important lesson history taught us. Then we of course must make sure that the press continue to write the stories we want them to tell. Obviously we’re in good progress there already.

    But of course the sad fact will still remain, that there will no matter how much we suppress the media, remain a few of these dreadful, poor, ignorant losers up north and in Isaan. Well history have given us a lesson there to; we can put up special camps to relocate an re-educate these people in what is truly in their best interests and sole true conception of life. Simple, but the final solution to the problem this nation now and ever after is going to face.

    And for this BLASTING AND IRRITATING DREY; please remember that it not only Saddam who have weapons of mass destruction. I guess gassing you will be the appropriate answer for you.

    So thank you both, one more time wtf and Sloth for joining our fantastic PAD movement. Really hope you were satisfied with your payslip, don’t worry there’s a lot more coming now that we’re back in the control of government. You know what they say; if you’re not with us you’re against us and if so we must crush you literally like an insect.

    Preecha,

    Thai newspapers are under strict control of the censors; why read them for information?

    I read your discussions. Most of you are blaming PAD. Are all of you Thai people? If you are Thai. Read Thai newspapers you'll understand better what the diffence between PAD & UDD (Thaksin).Most of people supported the new goverment. They diss the red shirts (UDD). They do not want to hear no more stupid arguments. They want their country to move forward.

    To WTF,

    You have a decent perspective of things. I'm liking your posts more and more. Lots of mis-guided facts (such as your strict interpretation about the UDD supporters) but the points your trying to convey are balanced and, usually, fair and I think we are both closer in opinions than we were a week ago.

    Wow, did you see Thaksin's son campaigning for Peu Thai up there in Roi Et? Flanked by UDD and with the lowly Issans kneeling on the ground.

    You don't see this as a sick cult of personality? You don't see how the UDD is simply another set of slave chains for the poor to carry?

    No - the poor people are poor because they DO lack an education and a means to provide for themselves. They must be given the means, not handed the end, then wait until next election again and again for it to be handed to them.

    I'm sick of this back and forth. Anyone sitting there saying support this pack of criminals or that pack - wear this shirt or that - are your enemy. Stand on your own - friends family and community, and let these politicians ALL be damned.

    To LAUGHINGSTOCK (Levenfeld),

    YOU DID A VERY CORRUPT WROTTEN DISGUSTING ILLEGAL THING YESTERDAY. YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME "DREY" TO TYPE WHATEVER MESSAGE(S) YOU WANTED ALL OVER THIS BOARD.

    IF I DO NOT RECIEVE AN APOLOGY FROM YOU POSTED ON WHERE YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME ILLEGALLY I WILL CONTACT THE BANGKOK POST, GET YOUR REAL CONTACT INFORMATION AND TAKE YOUR DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR TO COURT.

    SO, YOU HAVE OPENED YOUR TRUE COLORS FOR ALL TO SEE. ARE YOU NOW ANY DIFFERENT THAN THAKSIN? THE MAN YOU VILLIFY AS BEING SO CORRUPT, WROTTEN, ILLEGAL AND DISGUSTING? ARE YOU THE BEST EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS TO OFFER? I REST MY CASE.

    AS FOR THE GARBAGE YOU SPEW CLAIMING EVERYONE IS ME THAT DOESN'T SEE EYE TO EYE WITH YOU AND WALK YOUR WALK OR TALK YOUR TALK. NOBODY CARES. ONLY YOU!

    A word of advice Levenfeld as I see that you're posting your childish posts on different threds, if you absolutely must try to write in German; please improve your effort more up then using clichés from the cartoon world. Vocabulary and spelling at 1st grade level (at lest in what I interpret as your main answer in another thread). Then again sorry, I forgot your ignorant brain isn’t up for advice or to listen to other people’s opinions.

    If you had more then a pea for a brain, taken the time to check our style of writing, grammatical etc., you would long gone now have noticed that Drey and me are different persons.

    We “all appear very late at night and at about the same time” to quote you? As far as I can see no later then you add stupid comments and as far as I have seen earlier; You post your hateful, distorted, distrustful and inconsequent comments at whatever time of the day, but since my guess is that you’re just another unemployed loser, I guess you have plenty of time to spend in internet cafes near Nana. Ever heard of something called logic? Some of us learnt it in school, but I guess little bit above your level.

    The reason why I compared you with Nazis must be quite obvious: They were ignorant, prejudiced, violent, murderous, never listened sense from other people, bullied other people and last, but not the least; they were intolerant and abusive towards dissidents of their political correctness. Characteristics that quite obvious fits you like a glove to the hand.

    And now let’s test you. I am not Drey, have never pretended to be Drey and will never do so. And notice this also; I’m only speaking on behalf of this nick, my own nick and none other. But getting through to your stone pea of an ignorant brain is falling as a stone to the ground I guess.

    To Levenfeld or whatever other alias you are using today.

    I see in #thread 18# that you in your little conspiracy driven uneducated mind of yours, have big problems with the fact that most people in this world disagree with all your Nazi opinions on politics and of course every other useless opinion you create in your uneducated little brain. And that there are many of us who use our natural given right to express that disagreement on the internet, just as you unfortunately use your freedom of speech to express your gutter Nazi opinions, is obviously incomprehensible for you to understand.

    Just for the record then. I don’t speak for the other nick’s you mentioned, I am not to be confused with Drey but I am absolutely True Democrat and I speak only on behalf of myself no matter what your shitty, Nazi brain think about that.

    Investigator - with all due respect and out of curiosity I would like to ask by your implication that the comments here are "not fair and balanced."

    Does it mean that if the article was about how the Spanish never enslaved people in Africa or about Stalin never killed 20 million of his fellow citizens in his blind pursuit for power we should have "fair and balanced" commentary on that too?

    You want 5 people that would say yeah, Stalin was right to do that, or the African were better off as slaves than in the praries while another 5 condemn those historical facts? Or would you prefer blind denial that either one of those two things happened? Stalin was a heroe of the people and the the Spanish were just on misionary campaigns all over the world during the conquistadores?

    Will that suit your assessment of fair and balanced or did we just learn this slogan from Fox News?
