The thing is, he's not wrong.

True, I also think Paiboon is right in shrugging off Thaksin's charter jibes.

"On Friday during a trip to Finland, Thaksin criticised the charter draft as the "worst draft in terms of democracy''.

What this man knows about Democracy, could easily fit on the back of a Postage stamp!

The Red Shirts won 4 elections in a row. and, please, let's not re-run that Taksin bought elections. That would put you in the company of those in the US who can "prove" Obama was born in Kenya and, to pick another example that the English Admiralty allowed the Germans to sink the Lusitania. They're nutters and surely you wouldn't wish to be associated with them.

You can check on the number of elections Thaksin owned political parties have won, the name of the party at the time, and how those parties all seem to have a history of breaking the law. You can also read the comments about vote manipulations and illegal election practices from various parties.

You might want to read up on the latest writings from historians regarding the Lusitania tragedy. Released papers show some admiralty warnings of U-boat activity in the area were not passed onto merchant / passenger shipping - on the orders of Churchill, although why is speculative. There is still debate as to what caused the second explosion survivors reported, which was also logged by the U-boat commander who only fired one torpedo.

No idea, or interest about Obama. Except he's often referred to as African-American or "black" yet his mother was a white Kansas lady.

Poodle in the microwave. Poodle in the microwave. All hands report to the kitchen.

Well there's a new slant on diversions when you can't cope with the message.

There were no surveys in the northeast.

How can you know that to be true?

"Paiboon said Thaksin was entitled to his opinion."

But only because Thaksin's outside the country. Were he in Thailand, he of course would certainly not be entitled to sharing his opinion in this way, just like the rest of those who would question the junta's actions.

Were he in Thailand he would be where he belongs, in jail and going to court to face the other 15 charges against him.
