Ban Ki-moon Supporters Want Opposition To Not Resort to “Mud Slinging”
Yeah, good luck with this especially in South Korea where Internet mud slinging is almost a national past time:
Ahead of its official launch, a special interest group supporting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has asked similar groups linked with other potential presidential candidates to agree not to maliciously attack or slander each other.
The group, named Banditburi, or firefly in Korean (a play on the UN chief’s surname), is scheduled to hold its inaugural meeting on Nov. 10.
Banditburi has reached out to groups that support liberals Moon Jae-in, the former chairman of the main opposition Minjoo Party, and Ahn Cheol-soo, former chairman of the People’s Party, to agree to avoid any mudslinging ahead of next year’s presidential elections.
Kim Sung-hee, chairman of the preparatory committee to launch the group for Ban, told the JoongAng Ilbo over phone on Wednesday, “We asked other groups supporting key potential presidential contenders, including the opposition’s Moon Jae-in and Ahn Cheol-soo, as well as the ruling party’s Kim Moo-sung [former chairman of the Saenuri Party], to forge a gentlemen’s agreement.”
He continued, “The political scene is messy as is, so we proposed that at least groups like ours should not engage in slander or malicious comments online, or muckraking of any kind.” [Joong Ang Ilbo]

Ban wants the opposition to roll over and play dead. He’s as crooked as Hillary.
Yeah, special entitlement because he was UN secretary general.
Are you suggesting that the other candidates are any less crooked as Hillary? The only honest candidates are the ones you never hear about … from those fringe parties that only ever get a tiny fraction of 1% of the vote. Crooked is to politician as sun is to daylight – they go hand-in-hand.
Well, Trump at least hasn’t killed any Ambassadors or GIs. Both Ban and Hillary have done some serious damage to the sheepdogs…
