		<description>The beef protests have made Lee Myung Bak gun shy of offending the sensibilities of the leftist nationalists, as foreign investment executives are frustrated, reports Financial Times. Lee should step down if he can't follow through with his earlier promises. He's too eager not to upset the people who are standing in the way of bringing the country up to global standards.

600 downer cows in Korea...OMG! Why this new never made it to the average Korean citizens when the issue was heating up back in May? Sucks to know it now..does it? 

Candle light protest (non-violent) is touted as part of the culture 촉불문화?...Is this a joke?

		<description>cm, have you ever been a citizen of the Republic of Korea, ever?

KBS was never impartial.

The only difference today is, it's not listening to the Chungwadae, and it has its own agenda.  A mind of its own !</description>

		<description>The Director of KBS turns out to be a member of the operating committee of the Organization Against Mad Cows - the organization that is one of the leaders of the protests.  Reports the Chosun Ilbo.

Is this a problem? I think so. It's a big problem if the news organization which is supposed to be impartial has a director that is a member of a special interest group that's causing a 60+ days of non stop protests involving millions of angry people.

KBS also thought this could be a problem. When the director held a press conference against mad cow, KBS reported in their 9'oclock news, that she was as a member of a woman's rights organization.</description>

		<description>same left as the US left.

I still don't see how you folk see a difference between this left and that left.

they're both cuckoos.

your hero, Obama, finally let it out in words, that he probably may have to stay in Iraq.  Of course, you hypocrites let it lie low on the radar, because you're desparate after 8 years.

in case he's elected, I'm glad he has at least a bit of common sense.  

but, the nerve of him.  Tearing down his rivals with venomous words, and acts like he's consistent and steady on all points, when I'm already counting him changing positions at least 3 times on 3 issues.

I don't like him, because he's more left than Clinton.  He'll be good for France.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The majority of the left wing party are essentially special interest groups who have latched on to the weak. This is sexist but they’ve latched onto impressionable women as well as young folks who have been systematically denied individual thought, forced with rote memorizations with a malfunctioning self-esteem. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

One sees more women than men because most men hold full-time jobs outside the home and thus have limited time to sit on a patch of grass waving a candle.  Korean women are not more impressionable than men, but they do have more unstructured time.</description>

		<description>Just to clarify the left, the true left are women who want change, young folks who want this age structure economy to end.

The majority of the left wing party are essentially special interest groups who have latched on to the weak. This is sexist but they've latched onto impressionable women as well as young folks who have been systematically denied individual thought, forced with rote memorizations with a malfunctioning self-esteem. The two factors are important because it creates a dependency to authority. With repression comes an even greater acknowledgement of authoritarianism.

This is all under the guise of liberal values, which does not necessarily have anything to do with liberal values but values which are the opposite of the conservative party. Most of these folks will not critically think instead use their intuition since they are incapable of critical thought.</description>

		<description>@18, I can this ongoing forever. The right can't just shut down the left like during the Korean war. 

What both sides need to do with co-ordinate themselves(US government &#38; the right wing) to effectively isolate the left as a fringe &#38; highlight the Chaebol, farmers and the chaebol union workers behind this. Of course if a majority of folks identify personally with them you'll create a huge blacklash but from the looks of it the general population have no loyalty to either party.

You can't really counter propaganda with a press release.</description>
