Discussion: Hong Kong Politician: Our Protestors Are Like 'American Slaves'

Discussion for article #229570

This is the kind of evil pretzel-logic that allows the Chinese and others to justify massively polluting our environment because western nations were just as guilty of it beginning with the Industrial Revolution, blah, blah blah. It only proves my grandfather’s old aphorism that “you can make a case for just about anything.” But at the end of the day, the argument is still odious.

The ruling class in China rules the politicians, business owners and entertainers in Hong Kong whose holdings and livelihoods would tank in a heartbeat if they spoke on behalf of the protesters.

This is a much better approach to GOTV in the midterms than scary “we’re watching you” letters. Hong Kong protesters want to vote and can’t, American protesters can vote but don’t bother.

Once again, this proves that there is very little of what passes for our media that we can trust to give us the REAL news. If I want some jackasses opinion, I will read the opinion page.

Can’t wait for the Tea Partiers to nominate Cha for Congress. She sounds like the perfect candidate for them.
