Fonzi has definitely been spinning like Jenny in his commentary on this: setting up straw men here there and everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Whatever the rights and wrongs of the so-called' democracy in Thailand, it seems to me that both Fonzi and Yoon would do a useful job if they looked at corruption in Thai governments without bleating. God knows there has been enough of it, no shortage of material.<BR/><BR/>But sadly Yoon doesnt know anything about investigative journalism, courage, integrity or objectivity (he is, after all, Thai), and Fonzi doesn't cannot see beyond his hero Thaksin. At least that is the reputation he has gained.<BR/><BR/>Pity.<BR/><BR/>RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-28216388248316078382008-10-25T05:50:00.000+07:002008-10-25T05:50:00.000+07:00Veen-I appreciate your comments.I'll take your cri...Veen-<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments.<BR/><BR/>I'll take your criticisms under advisement.Fonzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216772526349523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-65652056614955472562008-10-25T02:22:00.000+07:002008-10-25T02:22:00.000+07:00Fonzi – if your whole point and only point is to s...Fonzi – if your whole point and only point is to say Thaksin is clean, do say so. You need not beat around the bush and use any journalist including Yoon to elevate yourself.<BR/>What you may be good at:<BR/>1.Follow BKK Post and Nation – as you can’t read Thai.<BR/>2.Pick on them and try to “act” that you know better and can do better – and it is easy since you have never done anything anywhere except for copying and pasting here<BR/>3.Attacking everybody but Thaksin just to say that Thaksin is not what he is portrayed by the media. Thaksin is not guilty as the judges believe.<BR/>4.In short, you are worse than any Thai media and you’re no better than Yoon. If you blame Yoon as trying to prove Thaksin wrong, you are in the same boat. All your arguments and blogs are about “Thaksin, he is indeed clean”.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195421495813224391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-71055597774779765292008-10-24T23:21:00.000+07:002008-10-24T23:21:00.000+07:00I appreciate both your remarks.I guess we can agre...I appreciate both your remarks.<BR/><BR/>I guess we can agree to disagree.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I never said Thaksin wasn't guilty of a crime. Or that it was his ethically right that his wife should have been making land deals while he was PM.<BR/><BR/>However, it wasn't the crime of the century, like the media has made it out to be. And it certainly wasn't a crime that justified the illegal coup or justifies the crimes the PAD commits on a daily basis, or justifies The Nation's lies and propaganda.Fonzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216772526349523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-12509333882822332382008-10-24T16:26:00.000+07:002008-10-24T16:26:00.000+07:00The guilty verdicts against Thaksin and Pojaman su...The guilty verdicts against Thaksin and Pojaman surely are getting to many people. For the sake of the blood veins in your brain, Fonzi, let go. You are sounding like a broken record about evidence and proof and investigative reports blah blah blah. You don't really care what Thai media or Suthichai did. You only care about how to get Thaksin off the hook. Formerly, it was "He has never been convicted of any crime". Now it is "He's not been convicted of corruption". If he's convicted of corruption in the future, surely you will say the Thai courts are controlled by the elites.<BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, the Thai media and The Nation included, have been warning about Thaksin's clever cheats for ages, even long before the coup. Now you ask for the media to provide evidence? Wasn't that the job for the police/prosecutors who were paid by taxpayers when the crimes occurred during Thaksin?<BR/><BR/>Instead of criticising weakness of law enforcement/justice system during Thaksin, you have been attacking the media for barking warnings about those crimes. Your sense of what's right or wrong is completely screwed up, Fonzi.patiwathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064526594214976269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-54238691526152078162008-10-24T16:09:00.000+07:002008-10-24T16:09:00.000+07:00Can't say Suthichai Yoon was spinning a lie, b...Can't say Suthichai Yoon was spinning a lie, but, Mr. Fonzi you are certainly attempting to spin a canard that Thaksin Shinawatra was wrongly convicted. The conviction of wife Potjaman Shinawatra for tax cheating validates the common understanding among Thais that the Shinawatras, led by Thaksin & wife, were mainly enriching themselves during Thaksin's rule while pretending to help the Thai poor and uphold democratic tenets.<BR/><BR/>Use your intelligence Mr. Fonzi and you will not be laughed at.Adhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949961911317537102noreply@blogger.com
