Chinese Activist Escapes, Seeks Asylum at US Embassy in Beijing
— rdbrewer

Boy, you know Obama would love to throw this one back. Recall, this is the president who made the Dalai Lama use the White House back door. The one by the trash bins.

Chen Guangcheng's is a self-taught lawyer and has been an advocate for the handicapped and families faced with forced abortion. The State Department and the White House are not commenting. But a former State Department official had something to say:

“Chen Guangcheng is a very strong candidate for asylum,” said Susan L. Shirk, a former State Department official who is now a professor at the University of California, San Diego. “A blind lawyer who is being persecuted for exposing forced abortions? I don’t think there’s any question about it.”

But look at how the White House handled the Wang Lijun case last February. From the Times:

In February, the Obama administration was thrust into an internal Chinese political dispute when Wang Lijun, the former top police official from the region of Chongqing, sought refuge in the American Consulate in Chengdu. Mr. Wang revealed details about the killing of a British businessman, setting off a cascade of events that led to the downfall of Bo Xilai, who was the party chief in Chongqing and a member of ChinaÂ’s Politburo. American diplomats said they had determined that Mr. WangÂ’s case did not involve national security, and he was turned over to Chinese officials, prompting criticism from some in Washington about their handling of the case. Both sides insist Mr. Wang left of his own accord.

(Emphasis added.) Sure, he wanted to go back to the Chinese. That's just the way dissidents roll, isn't it? After all, both sides agreed. But wasn't there a third side to this? I wonder what Wang might have said in an interview.

We'll never know, will we?

According to the Wikipedia entry linked above, the consulate building was encircled by police while Wang was there. "The Department of State refused to comment on speculations Wang sought to defect to the United States." After his departure, "Wang was immediately seized by security agents." He was flown to Beijing, "possibly in the company of Qiu Jin, vice minister of the Ministry of State Security."

In the extant case, according to the Times, rights advocates are saying Chen is not seeking to leave China:

But, as in the exploding scandal surrounding Bo Xilai, the Obama administration has sought to keep itself out of ChinaÂ’s internal politics.

Rights advocates said Mr. Chen was not seeking to leave China, but would try to negotiate his freedom with the Chinese authorities.

“He is reluctant to go overseas and wants only to live like a normal Chinese citizen,” said Mr. Fu.

(Emphasis added.) But if he does seek to go overseas, I'm sure President Gutsy Call will be right there to help.

Having said that.....Romney could use it to point out the Tyranny of forcing families to have only one child, and how that has led to the shortage of young women in China today.

I'm hoping Romney can walk a fine line between "forced abortions" and the libtards "War on Women" (TM).

You hammer home the "forced" side of things, and every douchebag who tries to say "but what about legal abortion."  You hammer again the "forced" side of things.

Santorum would have fallen prey to the "Legal abortion leads to forced abortion" slope (while I think it's a valid point worth discussing it's a loser at the presidental politics level.).  Romney steers clear of that and this is a winning issue.

Plus if you're really smart you tied it back to ObamaCare.  "See what happens when you let government start makign decisions for you."

Yes....but the Leftists already like to say that "Republicans want to force people to have babies".

 

And that thing about 'government making decisions for you'.....is exactly what the libtards say that Republicans do with regard to abortions. .....They don't take into account that you can "choose" not to have sex in the first place.

 

President "Punished With A Baby" got elected after he said that, remember.

74 I'm sure President Gutsy Call will be right there to help. Have to admit, this one always cracks me up. Just what about the call to go in after Bin Laden was so "gutsy"? Ok, so he was hiding in Pakistan and they are a sovereign nation that would likely make a bit of noise over the incident. Big deal. Without our foreign aid they wouldn't even be a country. So yes their government would raise a stink but nothing too serious. But can you imagine if President Gutsy Call had decided to respect Pakistan's sovereignty instead? I think we all know what sort of outrage it would have caused once word leaked out that he knew where Bin Laden was and refused to do anything about it. So this wasn't a "gutsy" call at all - politically speaking this was pretty much the only call that he could have made. Honestly, not all that impressed myself.

Barky knew where Bin Laden was for eight months. ....Eight months. ....Which tells me that he was holding back on doing anything about it. .....Saving it, until he needed something of that magnitude to 'change the subject' of what was going on.

 

He was probably hoping that he could hold off on going after Bin Laden until this year. .....But people were starting to look sideways at that weird-looking birth certificate that he had posted on the WH website....so he had to do something.

Yes, Bark Obama issued a "waiver" to bypass Congress yet again, and instructed Shrillery Clinton to cut the peace-loving Palis a check. SOP for the SCoaMF.

Neither Boner or Bitch McConnell, those two congressional eunuchs who claim to be Republicans, would ever rock the boat by actually, you know, holding the Dog-Eater-in-Chief to the rule of law or anything racist like that.

I hope he doesn't decide to postpone elections for a decade or two. Those two pitiful losers would smile and bend over for him.

Stung by lingering suspicions that it was complicit in sheltering bin Laden, an unnamed senior official with Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) told The Washington Post, "The lead and the information actually came from us." Another official said, "Any hit on [terror group] al Qaeda anywhere in the world has happened with our help." Hum? lets see both pakistan and obama claim credit for killing osama? What a line up

Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot

A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.


Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the departmentÂ’s Criminal Investigations Division.
