Sheesh, Carp, you sound like a real flag-waving liberal. I guess I can
expect you at the next Lafayette Park anti-China hatefest starring
Richard  Gere. 

Yeah, I'm sick of the liberals who can turn out in droves to protest
China or China's actions in Tibet, but can't get off their damn
alternative ass to support U.S. political prisoners or Mumia Abu-Jamal
or Leonard Peltier.

Those damn anti-China fests always attract more folks than any other
human rights demo. It's because folks still think they are fighting the
Red Menace and "Communist China." Then the youngsters protest China
because REM told them to do it.

Yeah, 30,000 teenagers and college students can turn out at RFK for the
"Tibetan Freedom Concert" but can't be motivated to protest plans to
warehouse D.C.'s black male population in a private plantation, err,
prison in central Pennsylvania.

Singling out China for protests about human rights is the kind of
liberal myopia which caused me to become an anarchist. I don't pick and
choose; I'm concerned about all human rights abuses. Given that the U.S.
is one of the largest human rights absuers, I think we should start by
cleaning up our own backyard.

What's barbaric is a system that professes to be a human rights paragon,
but that has thousands of kids dying from malnutrition.
