#2 Oh, please, Republicans excoriated the naivete of Jimmy Carter for pressing other states on human rights. This post is pure partisan hackery which is why I can't stand partisans--period. The putrified intellectual inconsistency on both sides disgusts every decent person I know.

Your kind are a pox on American politics as his Hillary, George Bush, Barrack and every other partisan with a blog. You don't care about victims of rights abuses, you just hate your political opponents as much as they despise you. Liberal phonies rail against abuses in Iraq but look the other way when it comes to Fidel Castro. Bonehead conservatives rail against rights abuses in China when there is a Democratic president, but they rationalize abuses when Americans commit abuses in Iraq and at Guantanmo--because none of you keyboard cowboys actually feel a damned thing for the suffering of this world unless it serves your tribal interests to care. It is all about you, your side, your blog and your self-righteous sense of importance.

I've devoted my life to working with the victims of political oppression and you clowns are never the people out there in the trenches dealing with the reality of the suffering.

Snicker. Yes, Please ignore the 60 million muslims that Republicans freed in the last 8 years because panties on the head is such an abuse!

#4 Hillary is shrewd enough to know that we need China to buy our debt.

If you take a mirror you probably can see a beam in your own eye*wink*. Many here including my soldier son and I sent countless thousands of goods to relieve the suffering of the vary people you talk about.

#8 Never mind that the panties on the head was the result of a few idiots and not standard procedure. Never mind that the abuses were already being fully investigated even before the media saw it as a means of beating a dead horse.

Never mind that there are no abuses in Gitmo - outside of the vivid imagination of human ABUSE advocates like Human Rights Watch and AmNasy International.

Never mind the _real_ abuse of the rape squads,rape rooms, industrial shredders of Saddam's Iraq.

Or the hanging of homosexuals in Iran.

Or the execution (that would be killing as in dead) of political prisoners in China.

Or the 'real' torture chamber of Al-Q recently found in Iraq - which the media would never even mention because it would contrast with their 18-month long 24x7 beading of the Abu Grabe.

Or the schoolgirls who are murdered and schools bombed by the Taliban.

Or the Israeli children who are deliberatly targetted and murdered by the government of Gaza (that would be Hamass and its cronies).

and you clowns are never the people out there in the trenches dealing with the reality of the suffering.

No - those 'clowns' are the ones in the trenches risking their very lives to end the suffering and the abuse and the murder by stopping the abuse at the source. In Afghanistan and Iraq. These are the 'clown' Israeli solders and medical personal who extend medical care even to those who would like nothing better than to see them, and their children killed dead.

Helping those in need and who are abused is a good thing (and I'll commend you for that!) - stopping the abuse and killing the abuser so that the abused won't need continual help is better. Of course the UN and most of the left simply wouldn't want that - it would remove a means of 'feeling good' about helping the abused.

#9 A holier-than-thou attitude is not a sign of a true Christian.

"Never" is a very long time my friend. Many here have spent a day or two "in the trenches" and the De Opresso Libre mode Mr. Christian. You might wish to consider getting to know your audience prior to launching into the Attorney General Eric Holder, "you're all a bunch of cowards" mode.

#11 I've devoted my life to working with the victims of political oppression ...

Okay, I'm always willing to learn more. I certainly respect those who genuinely have worked to relieve oppression.

So, Mr/Ms 'A Christian', tell us what you've been doing. I'd like to hear it.

#12 off the immediate subject a little bit, i lived in Taiwan when China was missile testing in the Taiwan Strait. It was not the most comfy feeling in the world. China's "our way or the highway" mentality towards Taiwan and Tibet is digusting. And unfortunately, weve gotten snared in China's strongarm policies as now they hold some of our debt.
Clinton did us no favors by kowtowing, shes lost respect and lost us our intestinal fortitude. Amnesty is doing the right thing, and Clinton is doing the wrong thing on our behalf. Boo, Clinton, you lost me. BTW, I say we stop buying products from China and let them eat it big. If the whole economy falls apart, so be it, at least then we'd be at a clean ground zero and can rebuild stronger next time around. As long as we are ensnared economically with China, were weaker not stronger.
