PDRC spokesman enters monkhood

[city]

Excuse me while I vomit in my mouth

No one has looked as smug as this bloke in the last six months

I would look smug if I knew what the outcome was. Create a killing field and the army steps in. No or little response from the reds and the army coup whatever.

He didn't create any such thing.

You are right but thats what he was attempting to do with Suthep. The final push, the final final push, the ultimate push, the mo fo of all pushes and and on and on it went..now we know why. The aim of the PDRC in conjunction with others was to create such a violent situation that the army had no choice but to step in.

Laksi at election time February. PDRC trying to stop the distribution of ballot boxes, along comes kotee and the red shirts. Plenty of gesticulation and some fire crackers both sides retreat to the different ends of the street many many hundreds of metres apart. What happened next was an orchestrated attempt by PDRC to create bloodshed. PDRC drove a truck full of paid for gunmen down to the red shirt area and a fire fight broke where the now infamous fertilizer bag with rifle was seen shooting at red shirts. The following day Akanat denied any knowledge of who it was but it turned out to be a PDRC guard. Reforms my arse in 8 months not one PDRC spokeperson clearly stated one reform. PDRC + terrorists

Nothing you say there makes any sense at all. Complete and utter nonsense.

[tingtongteesood]

Maybe the mad monk is his PR man.

Now there's a. Monk who loved a camera!

Better a ''mad'' monk than a mad parrot.....

[tingtongteesood]

The red Thaksin fan boys are so full of hate and bs, it is quite entertaining to see the rubbish they come out with. Thank goodness some people here have some sense not to be like that.....

[Morch]

Upto you to dig up the asset declaration from 2011 when young Akanat started as MP.

BTW k. Akanat was "constituency" MP, elected by people in a district in Bangkok.

I think re ran on his Mom's and dad's (ex-democrat party as well) turf. A wonder he won, eh?

You 'think' and therefor you suggest something nasty. Mind you, if that particular district in Bangkok voted in a Democrat party candidate as MP in December 2007, April 2005, 2004, 2001 then it may indeed be no real wonder. In that case even Thaksin's telephone pole wouldn't stand a chance.

'mom and dad's turf' ? k. Akanat was a constituency candidate, so people must actually vote for him rather than for the party he's a candidate for.

Now waiting for the name of the Bangkok district which voted for k. Akanat as their MP. Plus the name of the constituency MP who was voted in December 2007.

For someone who wasn't aware he was an MP until a few posts ago, you're quite confident.

Young Akanat ran in constituency 29, which covers Thawi Wattana, which is where his Mom lives.

Incumbent MP Watchara Pechtong stood down to run on the party list. Very generous of him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MPs_elected_in_the_Thai_general_election,_2011

As you seem to be a bit in the dark regarding Akanat's pedigree - his father is Porntep Techapaibul, his uncle is

Niphon Promphan. That's without factoring in Suthep. Of course, he was elected on his own merits as a fine and

outstanding young man. Same way he landed a job a the deputy prime minister's secretary, fresh out of college

(yes, you guessed it - step dad), and not fully proficient in Thai...

Asked whether he got the job because of his connections, Akanat insists that everyone has the same opportunity, although some are better positioned...

...It's not a difficult job, Akanat says, but he struggles with Thai grammar, his years of overseas study leaving him unfamiliar with writing in Thai.

Isnt it wonderful.

When Yingluck goes to the temple on her birthday to make merit for herself, her supporters on here think its a great thing.

Yet when Sutheps step son enters the monkhood for 2 weeks to make merit for the deaths caused to the protesters by someone else its so terrible, disgusting, pathetic, insincere ETC.

It would seem the red blinkers will never come off.

This will come as a shock for you.

Some people have NO BLINKERS, no red blinkers, no yellow blinkers.

Some people have A LIFE, they do not have the urge to be extremists.

Of course, extremism makes life simple - for the simple minded, but unfortunately extremists bugger it up for the normal people.

Then you would be as well to change your ways before you are completely buggered up, or possibly its to late.

[tingtongteesood]

I presume you live here. If you do, surely you would recognise that making merit on one's birthday is hardly a practice that is constrained to the Shinawatra family. But no merit to be gained in pointing that out to someone like yourself, I feel.

Bad as each other in that both made sure the press knew when and where they would be.

My wife also makes merit on her birthday. I don't understand why expats trash and condemn those who do this. Many of you expat Christians who hate thais making merit may go to church or ask for forgiveness on your dying bed. Don't be hypocrites and condemn others for thier religion

I'm not trashing making merit.

I completely respect anyones right to practice their religion.

What I have a problem with is turning it into a stage managed PR opportunity.

Religious devotion is a personal matter and when not used for publicity purposes is a laudable thing to do.

So would you and the red sheeple who liked your post also agree that Yingluck turning her birthday temple visit into a 'stage managed PR opportunity' is also equally loathsome and opportunistic ? Maybe even more so......

Woopteedoo ! Who cares ? If Suthep had a relative who murdered someone in cold blood and he used his influence to make it go away - then you might have something.

If he removed someone important from office to replace them with his relative to help consolidate his corrupt power base and tighten his strangle hold around the country's neck - then you might have something.

Those are the actions of Shin family members and cronies though, need I go on ?

Nepotism is rife here and yes it happens in every country. But this is microscopic compared to the PTP antics....

Nepotism is indeed what we were discussing, before you barged in with the "but...but...PTP" routine. Well done.

If you bothered to read the whole of the post you comment on you would see I did. If you think I have any sympathy or support for PT you are sadly mistaken and seriously misinformed.

This topic is about Akanat, not about the PTP.

Deflection as usual from red sheeple. Always the same with you Thaksin fan boys isn't it. The point is you are trying to make a big deal out of nothing because it suits your agenda and I was merely demonstrating that. When you have something against him of the grade that your heroes committed, then I will join your condemnation.

Dig in my posts and find one that says something positive about Thaksin, then come back with your nonsense.

Saying something unflattering about a Democrat Party politician does not mean one supports the PTP.

Wasn't making a big deal out of nothing, just answering a post by rubl, who for some reason thinks Akanat was

different than other Thai politicians. The topic is still about Akanat, and not about the PTP, nor Thaksin.

Yes, very generous indeed - you can run down the list and check who vacated which seat in favor of whom, it's pretty

consistent, not just for the Democrat Party, and not limited for this election. If you wish to believe that the voters of his

constituency voted him in due to his remarkable rapport with the locality, his great work in advancing the area, or for

his great political acumen, go right ahead.

Nice that you're trying to catch up, maybe better to read first and post later, though. Might save you from posting such

pearls as - "You 'think' and therefor you suggest something nasty". Nothing nasty about calling spade a spade.

You are right but thats what he was attempting to do with Suthep. The final push, the final final push, the ultimate push, the mo fo of all pushes and and on and on it went..now we know why. The aim of the PDRC in conjunction with others was to create such a violent situation that the army had no choice but to step in.

Laksi at election time February. PDRC trying to stop the distribution of ballot boxes, along comes kotee and the red shirts. Plenty of gesticulation and some fire crackers both sides retreat to the different ends of the street many many hundreds of metres apart. What happened next was an orchestrated attempt by PDRC to create bloodshed. PDRC drove a truck full of paid for gunmen down to the red shirt area and a fire fight broke where the now infamous fertilizer bag with rifle was seen shooting at red shirts. The following day Akanat denied any knowledge of who it was but it turned out to be a PDRC guard. Reforms my arse in 8 months not one PDRC spokeperson clearly stated one reform. PDRC + terrorists

Nothing you say there makes any sense at all. Complete and utter nonsense.

Are you really that silly. I stated the aims of the PDRC, which was to cause bloodshed which would allow the army to takeover with a reason. When the fighting broke(no guns at this point) up outside the electoral office (are you still with me) the reds went to one end of the street the yellows to the other, hundreds of meters apart.

The next thing that happens was that a truck full of yellow shirts drove into the area where the reds had retreated to and opend fire (therefor supporting my theory about the sole aim of the PDRC).

It was at this clash that we saw the infamous 'rifle in a fertilizer bag' being fired from the PDRC side. (are you following). The next day a reporter asked Akanat about the infamous 'rifle in a bag' to which he had no knowledge and waffled. It had already been confirmed that the man holding the rifle 'in the bag' was in fact a PDRC guard. Again reinforcing my belief that the sole aim of the PDRC was to create mayhem.

Now there is a 26 minute video, from a foreign source, which more than supports all of this. Unfortunately there are things contained in the video which are against Thai law so I cannot post a link.

I know its pointless asking you to do some research because sadly you like many others spend your day just poo pooing any comments that dont fit your mandate and you get all your info from this site
