This is unfreakingbelievable..... and the beat goes on!

This is unfreakingbelievable, even for the Obama administration.....the United States and China on their second round of talks about human rights since 2002:  
The Obama administration wants and needs Chinese support on Iranian and North Korean nuclear standoffs, climate change and other difficult issues.... so they decided to do this:  Assistant Secretary of State Michael "You Stupid Moron" Posner said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights, which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.  He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its [sic] own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.  What an idiot!  China murdered millions of its citizens who opposed the government's Communist policies and allows most of its people little or no freedom.  We, on the other hand, enforce our immigration laws.  No, wait--actually we don't.  That's why we in Arizona had to take a shot at it.  Oh, by the way, Michael Posner, you clueless moron--China actually does enforce its immigration laws.

These dopes are actually proud of themselves for being morally and historically ignorant:

Jon Huntsman, U.S. ambassador to China who was in Washington, told reporters earlier Friday that the rights talks are a useful way to get results on tough issues:  "We're talking about issues that are uncomfortable, quite frankly, but it is a sign of maturity that we can talk about specific cases," Huntsman said.

Is it unfair to say that the Obama administration consists of a bunch of anti-American ignoramuses?  If so, why  Posner, (who has an I.Q. of 76), meanwhile, adopted Huntsman's "mature" comment and explicitly put it in the context of his own apologies for the U.S.:

QUESTION from Associated Press: Was there any areas in which China sort of turned the tables and raised its own complaints or concerns about U.S. practices around the globe or at home? Can you give some examples there?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY POSNER: Sure. You know, I think - again, this goes back to Ambassador Huntsman's comment. Part of a mature relationship is that you have an open discussion where you not only raise the other guy's problems, but you raise your own, and you have a discussion about it. We did plenty of that. We had experts from the U.S. side, for example, yesterday, talking about treatment of Muslim Americans in an immigration context. We had a discussion of racial discrimination. We had a back-and-forth about how each of our societies are dealing with those sorts of questions. ...

QUESTION/AP: Did the recently passed Arizona immigration law come up? And, if so, did they bring it up or did you bring it up?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY POSNER: We brought it up early and often. It was mentioned in the first session, and as a troubling trend in our society and an indication that we have to deal with issues of discrimination or potential discrimination, and that these are issues very much being debated in our own society.

Posner's comments about Arizona proved later to be even worse than was reported by the AP.  I would suggest to Ambassador Huntsman that if he wants to disassociate himself from the ignorance and the anti-Americanism of the Obama State Department, he should resign.

 ....and the beat goes on.... The New York Times is reporting that Connecticut Atty. Gen. Richard Blumenthal, the state's leading Democratic candidate for the Senate, has been fibbing about his military service.  The paper says Blumenthal has suggested at campaign stops that he served in Vietnam when his service records show that he did not.  Blumenthal, who is running for the seat held by retiring Sen. Chris Dodd, told the newspaper he may have "unintentionally misspoken" which is a political term for "Lying like a Dog!"  Who better than a corrupt lying piece of crap to replace another corrupt lying piece of crap, Sen. Chris Dodo.  Birds of a feather, stick together....

What do you think, Jarheard?

when he opens his mouth at these  stops, only one thing should be heard from every voice out there in unison.

BULLSHI*

[jarhead]

warph,
I think Mr. Blumenthal is what we call a "wannabe". He didn't mis-speak---he's a liar but what would you expect from a liberal. Even my beloved Corps has a bad apple once in awhile. Does Fight'n John Jack Murtha ring a bell ?

[greatguns]

I love you Jarhead

So to be a  "real" Marine you have to be a conservative?    The man was stupid to think that nobody would notice what he said, especially now when every candidate for anything is under a microscope.

Well Murtha was anything but a real marine.  Backstabbing no account SOB that tried to destroy good men.

As far as blumenthal to try and lie about his "service" to gain votes shows he has no character.   Not a trait of a Marine!

[jarhead]

Diane,
You are always crying that someone twists crap around you that say, then you do it to me. I did not say you had to be conservative to be a "real" Marine---but most probably are. Gen. Jones was at one time the Commandant and he's about as liberal as they come.

[Diane Amberg]

 Now wait ...you said "but what did you expect from a liberal''? I didn't have to twist it ...you said it. Now if I really wanted to stir things up I could have said that you suggested that all liberals are liars and all good Marines are conservatives.  Don't take my poking so seriously!
