The Usual Worthless Propaganda from the Nobel Committee
Let's remember we're talking about the same people who gave B.O. a nobel peace prize, apparently for nothing but being a talented demagogue. A rational comparison refuting this lunatic-fringe left-wing idealism is easy. If 310,000 Americans are Communists, and want to change the American system of democracy to communism, obviously a number far too high, that would be 0.1 percent of the US population. Yet it is clearly far higher than the percentage of Chinese who want to change the Chinese government to a democratic system. Liu was not arrested and convicted for his exercise of free speech, He was convicted for the crime of publicly advocating the overthrow of the Chinese government, 'by any means necessary'. If a Communist American did that in the USA, he would be committing a very serious felony crime as well. Whether he was arrested, tried, and convicted would be up to the Justice department, but there would be no question or doubt about his guilt.
So what is the problem here? The Chinese government tried and convicted a public figure publicly advocating the overthrow of the central government, exactly as the US government would do under the same circumstances in America. Occupational propagandists who want to claim the Chinese government did anything bad or wrong need to make up more convincing arguments than they have so far invented out of thin air. The convict under discussion is a lunatic-fringe, garden-variety kook, just as members of the Communist Party of America are. But even communists in the US are smart enough to restrain themselves from publicly advocating the overthrow of the government of the USA, and the replacement of it with a communist government. They are nutcases who still have the brains to keep their mouths shut, which Liu obviously isn't.
If the nobel committee want to waste their time on a dumb ding-a-ling, that's their pitiful self-indulgence. After all, that's a step up from B.O. Competent national governments have better, more important things to do. |
