The Korean ruling political party has been able to turn the Druking online opinion rigging scandal with clear links to the Moon administration, back on conservatives by claiming they rigged comments during the 2007 Presidential election:
Kim Dong-won, aka “Druking”
Seoul police are looking into suspicions that the main opposition party engaged in massive online opinion rigging during elections, including the 2007 presidential vote.
A newspaper reported Wednesday that the Liberty Korea Party (LKP) used a computer program to spread favorable news and jack up “likes” on comments on Internet sites from 2006 to 2014. At those times, the party’s name was first the Grand National Party and then the Saenuri Party.
The report cited the party campaign office’s chat records that it secured from an insider.
“We are checking the authenticity of the report,” the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said.
The agency has probed a similar online manipulation scheme led by an arrested blogger linked to the ruling Democratic Party (DP).
The blogger known as Druking used the same software. In a recent letter sent to a news outlet, he said that he acquired the program from a campaign official of the Grand National Party. It was used during the 2007 presidential election, he added. [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but does anyone find it quite convenient that after all these weeks Druking mentioned nothing to the media about getting the program from the GNP, but now all the sudden he does? The timing is even more convenient considering that local elections and parliamentary by-elections are slated for June 13.
The “newspaper” that reported this is the Hankyoreh newspaper – South Korea’s extreme leftwing paper which is one of Moon’s stellar ally.
Of course, even if their accusation is true, how does it excuse what the ruling left-wing party has done to get themselves elected? All this means then is that the ruling party is no better than the party that’s been kicked out of power due to their corruption.
The former Conservative party leaders including Park Geun Hye and Lee Myung Bak are all jailed. So if we go by the standards that the South Korean left have established, then why isn’t Moon also impeached and in jail for manipulating the votes?

Frankly, the only people fooled by any of this are Moon supporters.
