Key Quotes
"It is time for those who have sought conscience from others to show political responsibility to society, not use responsibility as a tool for political attacks and then disappear when the truth doesn't match their accusations."
จึงถึงเวลาที่ผู้ที่เคยเรียกร้องหาจิตสำนึกจากคนอื่นจะต้องแสดงสปิริตความรับผิดชอบทางการเมืองคืนต่อสังคมบ้าง ไม่ใช่ใช้มาตรฐานความรับผิดชอบเป็นเพียงเครื่องมือโจมตีทางการเมืองแล้วเงียบหายไปเมื่อความจริงไม่เป็นไปตามที่ตนเองกล่าวหา
