Citing America's Violence, Torture and Racism, China Tells the U.S. To Shut Its Yapper About Human Rights

Apparently, the People's Republic of China has had just about enough of the pot calling the kettle black so they have requested that America stop pointing any fingers at them regarding human rights.

From the story over at Reuters via Breitbart:

The United States is beset by violence, racism and torture and has no authority to condemn other governments' human rights problems, China said on Sunday, countering U.S. criticism of Beijing's crackdown.

The row between Beijing and Washington over human rights has intensified since China's ruling Communist Party extended its clampdown on dissidents and rights activists, a move which has sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is the most prominent of the activists to be detained by police or held in secretive custody in the latest crackdown.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday she was "deeply concerned" about it, and cited "negative trends" including Ai's detention.

You know, you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not notice how the entire world had caught onto the fact that Barack Hussein Obama has set up America to be the whipping post for the entire world right now. I remember a day when many countries would think twice about pissing off America - either they feared a sort of isolation economically or they feared a cut in their foreign aid or they even feared some sort of military action but not now, not with the Great Apologist at the helm of this country. No, now it's the international sport of using America as a punching bag and knowing damn well that they can get away with it.

To think that China would seriously make a claim of racism and violence and torture in the United States as a reason why the atrocities going on in that country should be ignored is almost laughable.

But you know, I guess if the Chinese are watching certain video clips of America...you know, like clips of Obama's pastor saying that G_d damns America....or Obama's friend having bombed the Pentagon in his past.....well, perhaps that is where they get these crazy notions.

We have China calling us "racist", we have the likes of Iran calling us "The Great Satan", we have Venezuela taunting us at every turn and we even have a Mexican president standing on our soil degrading our country and we wonder what in the world happened? Remember the claim that electing Barack Hussein Obama to the White House post would make all of the world like America again? Well, I guess the strategy of Obama to make America out as the bad guy in all of the world's problems has backfired....you see, none of the world's leaders have taken in those apologies and said "boy, America is really humble now, we like them"....ummm...no...they have said "the once great America is now a sniveling, weak-kneed coward so let's take this chance to pummel the shit out of them."

China tells U.S. to quit as human rights judge


(Reuters) - The United States is beset by violence, racism and torture and has no authority to condemn other governments' human rights problems, China said on Sunday, countering U.S. criticism of Beijing's crackdown.

The row between Beijing and Washington over human rights has intensified since China's ruling Communist Party extended its clampdown on dissidents and rights activists, a move which has sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is the most prominent of the activists to be detained by police or held in secretive custody in the latest crackdown.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday she was "deeply concerned" about it, and cited "negative trends" including Ai's detention.

A U.S. State Department report on global human rights released on Friday said Beijing had stepped up restrictions on lawyers, activists, bloggers and journalists, and tightened controls on civil society.

It has also increased its efforts to control the press, Internet and Internet access, the report said.

But China has shown no sign of bowing to foreign pressure.

Its Foreign Ministry on Saturday dismissed the U.S. report as meddling, and its own annual report about U.S. human rights stressed Beijing's dismissive view.

"Stop the domineering behavior of exploiting human rights to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries," it said, according to excerpts published by the official Xinhua news agency.

"The United States ignores its own severe human rights problems, ardently promoting its so-called 'human rights diplomacy', treating human rights as a political tool to vilify other countries and to advance its own strategic interests," said a passage from the Chinese report

Produced by the State Council Information Office, the government's public relations arm, the report dwelled on what it said were severe deprivations and threats facing many Americans, as well as Washington's invasion of Iraq.

It also cited the United States' refusal to ratify a number of international human rights pacts, and listed poverty, hunger and homelessness as stains on the country's rights record.

"The United States is the world's worst country for violent crimes," said the report. "Citizens' lives, property and personal safety do not receive the protection they should."

"Racial discrimination is deeply rooted in the United States, permeating every aspect of social life," it said.

Criticism of China's human rights problems do not come just from foreign governments and groups.

Chinese rights lawyers and advocates have also been dismayed by a recent burst of arrests, detentions and heavy sentences against dissidents and activists.

On Sunday, hundreds of Chinese police moved to prevent a planned outdoor service by a church in Beijing that had been evicted from its former premises.

Founder of Group, Human Rights Watch, Admits The Group Is Anti-Israel

Many of us, for a long time, have pointed out that the group, Human Rights Watch, is an anti-Israel group that manufactures lies galore in order to try and paint Israel as the villain in the Middle East. They have been brazen in their attempts, but the fact is...there were enough accomplices in this world to give this group of anti-semite, pro-palestinian fakes sufficient cover.

But now, the guy who actually founde the group has had enough and has come out to accuse the group of its anti-Israel campaign. Here's the story from Times Online:

Robert Bernstein, founder of Human Rights Watch, accuses it of anti-Israel bias

Robert Bernstein, the founder of Human Rights Watch, one of the world’s leading human rights organisations, accused the New York-based group of anti-Israeli bias yesterday.
Mr Bernstein turned on the organisation he created in 1978 in a New York Times opinion piece questioning the group’s work in the Middle East.
“As the founder of Human Rights Watch, its active chairman for 20 years and now founding chairman emeritus, I must do something that I never anticipated: I must publicly join the group’s critics,” he wrote.
“Human Rights Watch had as its original mission to pry open closed societies, advocate basic freedoms and support dissenters. But recently it has been issuing reports on the Israeli-Arab conflict that are helping those who wish to turn Israel into a pariah state.”

Mr Bernstein’s defection comes amid a worldwide row over a UN report by South African judge Richard Goldstone, a former Human Rights Watch board member, accusing Israel of war crimes in the Gaza War.
Moves are under way at the United Nations in New York for the 192-nation General Assembly to ask the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to investigate the alleged abuses, even though only the 15-nation Security Council has the power to refer cases for prosecution.
Human Rights Watch has battled charges of anti-Israeli bias for many years. The Israeli Government said last month that the group had sunk to a “new low” when it emerged that the its senior military analyst was an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia. Human Rights Watch suspended Marc Garlasco, an American, who said his hobby was inspired by a German grandfather who had been conscripted into Hitler’s Army.
The pro-Israeli blog Mere Rhetoric cited internet postings by Mr Garlasco under the pseudonym “Flak88” including one that read: “That is so cool! The leather SS jacket makes my blood go cold it is so COOL!” Mr Garlasco, a former Pentagon official and self-described “military geek,” helped investigate and write a report on Israel’s use of white phosphorus in the Gaza War.
Mr Bernstein, the former president and chief executive of publisher Random House, said the group risked losing credibility. “Human Rights Watch has lost critical perspective on a conflict in which Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Hamas and Hezbollah, organisations that go after Israeli citizens and use their own people as human shields,” he wrote. “These groups are supported by the Government of Iran, which has openly declared its intention not just to destroy Israel but to murder Jews everywhere. This incitement to genocide is a violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
“Leaders of Human Rights Watch know that Hamas and Hezbollah chose to wage war from densely populated areas, deliberately transforming neighbourhoods into battlefields. They know that more and better arms are flowing into both Gaza and Lebanon and are poised to strike again. And they know that this militancy continues to deprive Palestinians of any chance for the peaceful and productive life they deserve. Yet Israel, the repeated victim of aggression, faces the brunt of Human Rights Watch’s criticism.”
Human Rights Watch last night rejected Mr Bernstein’s criticism, insisting that its scrutiny on Israel represents only “a tiny fraction” of its work. The group said Mr Bernstein had brought his concerns to an April meeting of its board, which unanimously rejected his view that the organisation should only report on closed societies.
“Human Rights Watch stands fully behind the work we have done on Israel and around the world,” the group said.

Human Rights Watch Pukes Swoop In To Condemn Pakistani Military Offensive

You know, the pock-faced punks at Human Rights Watch, yes...the same group that spent months in Gaza trying to pin war crimes on the Israelis, have turned up in Pakistan's Swat Valley now in an effort to save the terrrorist Taliban from further harm. Nothing gets my blood boiling more than these momma's boys who hover over every military conflict in the world and spout off about "those poor civilians." Where was Human Rights Watch the past 18 months when civilians were being killed, beheaded and maimed by the Taliban? Where was Human Rights Watch when Pakistani girls were being bombed in their schools or had acid thrown in their face by the Taliban? Nowhere is where they were. They were sitting in their New York City apartments watching "Ellen" - but as soon as the Pakistani military makes a move to try and rout the Taliban, here come the scum of Human Rights Watch to sound the humanitarian alarm. If there's any justice in the world, half a dozen of these asswipes will be kidnapped by the Taliban and left crying for help from the Pakistani army.

By the way, it's worth noting that this story comes from the biggest defender of terrorists in the world, Reuters.

Here's most of the story from Reuters:

Pakistanis in Swat "face catastrophe" as clashes spread

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of Pakistani civilians trapped by an offensive against the Taliban in Swat face catastrophe, a rights group said on Tuesday, as fighting flared in another militant-plagued region.
The offensive in the Taliban bastion of Swat, about 120 km (80 miles) northwest of Islamabad, is the military's most concerted effort to roll back a spreading Taliban insurgency that has thrown the nuclear-armed country's future into question.
The offensive has sparked an exodus of 2.3 million people, according to provincial government figures, but about 200,000 people are believed to be still in the valley.
Severe shortages of food, water and medicine were creating a major humanitarian crisis for the trapped civilians, the U.S.-based group Human Rights Watch said.
"People trapped in the Swat conflict zone face a humanitarian catastrophe unless the Pakistani military immediately lifts a curfew that has been in place continuously for the last week," Brad Adams, the group's Asia director, said in a statement.
The army launched the offensive this month after the militants, emboldened by a controversial peace deal in Swat, pushed out of the former tourist valley into neighboring districts, including one just 100 km (60 miles) from Islamabad.
The United States, which needs Pakistani action against militants in its northwest to defeat al Qaeda and disrupt support for the Taliban in Afghanistan, had criticized the pact as tantamount to "abdicating" to the militants.
The United States, which is pouring thousands of extra troops into Afghanistan to try to reverse Taliban gains, has welcomed the army's bid to clear Swat.
But the flight of so many civilians poses not only a major burden for an economy being kept afloat by a $7.6 billion International Monetary Fund loan, but could also undercut public backing for the military action.
Human Rights Watch said it was getting persistent reports of civilian casualties from army shelling and air attacks, as well as reports of summary executions of civilians by Taliban.
The government should take all possible measures including air drops of food, water, and medicine to alleviate the suffering and both sides should allow a humanitarian corridor through which civilians could escape and aid groups could help, it said.
Military spokesmen were not available for comment.
