How can we expect harmony in a society if the Premier
feels no shame on making a society polarization remark?
~ Echo ~
A lawsuit will go to the court on Aug. 10th in which some Taiwanese sue Premier Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) for calling Taiwan Independence supporters "idiots."
The incident happened on December, 8th, 2009, when Wu talked about cross-strait relationship in either a speech or an interview. See the section starting from 1:13 in this video.
What came out of his mouth is:
「你統人家，沒能力；被統，不願意。你搞獨立，也沒那個本事啦，搞了內部也分裂，外部可能有危機。只有不負責任的，或者白痴，他才會覺得說應該搞一個獨立國。」
You don't have the ability to unite(conquer) them (China); You don't want to be united(conquered); And to seek the independent, c'mon, you are not capable. If you do it, you will split the country from inside, and potentially create troubles from outside. Only those who are irresponsible, or idiots, will think that we need to build an independent country.
Wu's effort of linking "independence" to "idiots" angered many, including an "egg protest" when he attended a computer expo (吳敦義蒞臨資訊展場 民眾丟雞蛋抗議 ). Not long after that (either the same day or next day), he attempted to dismiss the public rage with a clarification, but basically repeated what he had said in its entirety, including the word "idiots".
Immediately, he was questioned by a journalist on his reappeared "idiots" remarks. Obviously enraged, he raised his voice and talked back with his arm waving and pointing to the journalist:
"Irresponsible OR idiots ! Irresponsible OR idiots !! When I said you are either male OR female, I don't mean to say you are female."
Quite a delicate way to smuggle a society polarizing remark in his talk.
In an earlier article that I talked about the responsibility of Taiwanese intellectuals, I argued:
『任何以「某種人格模式」為標準，將某個特定族群「一竿子打翻一群人」地鎖定在這個單一的人格模式裡加以批判的宣傳方式，對台灣社會都是一種嚴重的傷害。』
Any behavior that applies a specific pattern of some individuals as a criteria to criticize the entire group by locking the entire group into that pattern is a serious offense to the society harmony.
Wu showed us how that is done.
For the court preceding, some Taiwanese send out a notice of press invitation:
“控告吳敦義”重要新聞採訪通知(1)
各位新聞媒體女士、先生們大家好，有一則重要新聞請你們大家來採訪報導，台北地方法院將在2010年8月10日上午10時25分，於3F21法庭開庭審理，前建國黨秘書長：高金郎，前決策委員蔡金龍對行政院院長吳敦義及總統馬英九侵權行為損害賠償求償案件，
台北地方法院當日是第一次言詞辯論庭。本案共同原告高金郎、蔡金龍，會對吳敦義等提出損害賠償請求之訴，仍是因為吳敦義曾在2009年12月7、8間公然指摘及傳述說，除非不負責任或白癡，才會覺得要搞一個獨立的國家。因此本案共同原告高金郎、蔡金龍先徵得台獨老前輩史明、鄭自財、黃華、楊東傑…等人的同意後，在2009年12月29日向台北地方法院提出損害賠償請求之訴。原告請求法院判決策吳敦義必須登四大報道歉，當法院決定在本年8月10日上午10時25分開庭審理本案，的消息傳出後各界聲援熱列，除台獨人士連中間派人士也都願意具名聲援，最可貴的是如刺蔣案要角；鄭自財。前國策顧問黃華。美國3F人士楊東傑醫師。世界柯、蔡宗親總會前秘書長蔡忠雄。本土社團集合體台灣國民會議召集人：劉重義。公投護台聯盟總召集人；蔡丁貴教授。台灣聯合國協進會理事長；羅榮光牧師。政治受難者總會前會長劉金獅。國際知名教授台大教授；陳永昌等。共有本土社團及幹部，本土政治團體，各界人士，前建國黨同志總共有72人同意具名聲援本案共同原告高金郎、蔡金龍對吳敦義損害賠償請求之訴。由此可知吳敦義侮罵台獨人士白癡，是絕對的觸犯眾怒，因此才會有那麼多人願意聲援。
