Let the thugs act out again here again in Pattaya. Each time they do, more and more of the great Thai silent majority gets even more disgusted with them.

Note their goal: To EXPEL their PM. Peaceful protest is one thing, ruining the ability of their government to function is another. In the recent past they have even tried to murder their PM. The amazing thing is the restraint Abhisit shows towards these violent insurgents. The reds have actually greatly strengthened their foe with their incredibly offensive tactics. Keep it up!

[Ferwert]

Doesn't Abhisit have his militia and whatever military support he needs with him? Surely they know this is a necessity every time he ventures out of BKK. Illegitemacy begets illegitimacy! But unlike the airport thing, the pro-democracy Red Shirts will be challenged, which should not be difficult. The pro-democracy Red Shirts are not a militarized movement as was the PAD, nor do they have the PAD friends in high places. They are not New Politics....they are merely old-fashioned boring old Democracy advocates. Poor deluded souls that they are! Hmmmmm, this disturbs silent majority?..."they is the silent majority" jingthing!

This lot will not be very impressed

Exciting news - Go Red Go! Let Freedom Ring!

Are you for real?

Are you for real?

Yes he is....and so was the airport thing and PAD Government house sacking and thievery, all military enabled. Yesterday a leader of a farmers group who closed a road in Chiang Rai sentenced to one year in jail, and fined 20,000 baht.....but the leaders of the PAD at the airport....NOTHING!, NOTHING!....The pro-democracy leadership speaks often and forcefully about double standards...there is not enough room on this board to itemize all the double standards.

the pro-democracy Red Shirts

Pro Thaksin or Thaksin PUPPETS you mean. Repeated BS a million times doesn't make it not BS.

Poor deluded souls that they are! Hmmmmm, this disturbs silent majority?..."they is the silent majority" jingthing!

No, the vast majority are NOT ALIGNED with red or yellow.

[sukeroku]

The vast majority of Thais are not aligned with yellow or red. However, more support Thaksin than anyone else, that much is certain! And thus the certainty that there will be no election allowed in the near future.

Will check back with ya after the next election Jingthing, about the "majority thing", if they dare have one.

Wrong again! The vast majority does NOT support Thaksin these days. Each new red thug show brings him down a notch more. The failed shameless violent Thaksin led Black Songkran was the beginning of the end of the Thaksin era. BTW, can someone point to a specific Thaksin quote where he condemns the red assassination attempts on the PM? While it is true there are no innocents in Thai politics, the moral authority of the Thaksin true believers is at a massive low even by corrupt Thai standards. As far as the reds equal democracy propaganda, it is empty and it is not believable.

[Ferwert]

Thx. for the "heads up" on the Pro-democracy Red Shirt/Patttaya thing Churchill. I beat my political junkie wife who constantly surfs her Red Shirt websites, to this news. She is still muttering about it. Way ta go Churchill!

Read more carefully. I think your comprehension is suffering with afternoon fatigue. Perhaps a cool iced tea will help!

OK, got me there, but the latest polls have been neck and neck. The trend for Thaksin is clearly down the toilet. He is a has been and never will be again.

Unfortunately, the junta will install an Abhisit look-alike or re-install the Puppet Abhisit long before they will allow the results of a free election to spoil their fun!

The battle of the birthdays continues. The pro-democracy Red Shirts will wear black on Monday, August 3rd, Abhisit's birthday, just because his spokesman says not to!

If Mark can hold off an election for another year or two, he will then win easily fair and square and then maybe the reds will shut up (one can hope). His popularity is clearly on the rise, against thanks to squarehead and his lawless violent thugs.

And by the same logic, if the junta in Myanmar can hold off an election for another year or two, they will then win easily and that pesky Aung San Suu Kyi will shut up! I don't think so...

There you have it. Comparing Thaksin and his red thugs to Aung San Suu Kyi. Who do you think you are fooling!!??!!

I'm going to shut up (do I hear a deafening cheer!). You are handling Jingthing much better than me Sukeroku.

Couldn't really say what the great Thai silent majority would be thinking, yes?

[Jingthing]

The CIVILIZED world rallies behind TAung San Suu Kyi.

The CIVILIZED world bans entry to their borders of CORRUPT CRIMINAL FUGITIVE Thaksin.

Thaksin's propaganda machine is worthless except for his pitiful TRUE BELIEVERS, some of whom are posting here.

Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were wildly popular and inspired similar cults of personality. The Redskirts have been similarly brainwashed.

[Jingthing]

Couldn't really say what the great Thai silent majority would be thinking, yes?

Yes, you can. It is called polling.

It is also known as far as mobilizing people into mobs, either side is under one percent of the population who will actually get off their <deleted> to go an event, 500 baht or no 500 baht,.

[sukeroku]

Look at the Field Guide to South-East Asian Military Juntas and you'll note the similar press manipulation, lack of democracy, and demonization of the opposition characteristic to both of the juntas in question.

Are you suggesting the pro-democracy Red Shirts are not motivated by the Democracy issue, and are you suggesting they are paid to go to events Jingthing....that is out and out lying and misrepesentation Jingthing. You are Lying. Am I making myself clear! It is so easy to spew off unsubstantiated untruths, and you count on this board being filled with farangs who normally dont go to political events. To suggest the pro-democracy Red Shirts are paid to speak their heart is wrong Jingthing....wrong and spurious! You dont have a shred of evidence, and you know it!

[Jingthing]

500 baht or no 500 baht,

Frankly, both are quite militant - despite their respective political identities and connections. I might add as well, that both promote such imaginary ideals of Democracy in their rhetoric and slogans, but either one understands what this is nor realizes the truer nature of the Thai political sysytems. What has always amused me is that one will find {throughout all the Thailand based ex-pat forums} good reasoned Resident Westerners who are quite adamant as to taking their respective intellect and logic and becoming sided with their favourite politico fashion of the day. The dogma and debate can become quite heated as Farang undertone a corner of support. Very very few seem to understand the nature of contemporary Thai history and how it continues to reflectively play out today - nothing will change {for the good} until certain elements of society change as well. Otherwise, all sides are just spinning their wheels.
