Liu Xiaobo wins peace prize, dictators shocked!

to the shock of Jay Nordlinger and dictators everywhere, the Nobel prize committee has decided to do its job!

In a statement, the Nobel Committee said Liu, 54, deserved the prize “for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.”

Analysts said the honor was aimed at pressuring China to ease its crackdown on religious and political activists. China’s government denounced the award as “a desecration” and said the honor should have gone to someone focused on promoting international friendship and disarmament.

Apparently without George Bush to bait and with the debacle of the Obama selection the Nobel committee was all at sea, at least that is the opinion of the Communist Chinese government.

“Liu Xiaobo is a sentenced criminal who has violated Chinese law,” a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The spokesman, Ma Zhaoxu, said honoring Liu “runs counter to the principles of the Nobel Peace Prize.” emphasis mine

It’s not the prize so much that hurts China it’s that dictatorships are so used these days to international organization kowtowing that is seems contrary to the principles. I think that’s unfair, after all Liu Xiaobo just as much not George Bush as their last winner was

Update: Jay Nordlinger: Rejoice!

The problem with a party built on special interest and racial issues

…is that you can’t afford to get any particular interest upset or offend any race like so:

Democrats had hoped that when Mr. Crist abandoned the GOP for an independent run, it would split the Republican vote and propel Mr. Meek into the winner’s circle. With four weeks to go, no one believes that now. Mr. Meek, who is African-American, polls strongly only with black voters

Take a close note of that sentence, democrats understand that particularly in an off year election with Barak Obama not on the ballot dumping the Black democratic nominee is going to outrage African Americans not only in Florida but nationwide. Can you imagine the call ins on the Tom Joyner show?

Allahpundit may be nervous but I’m not. I HOPE democrats are stupid enough to do this. It might make the race closer in Florida but it will be the last straw in a series of provocations of democrats taking Black America for granted at election time and discarding them.

Can you imagine the speech Allen West will be able to give in that situation, if he was a race card man?

Allah take my advice, leave the hand wringing to the David Frums of the world go right through them they’re demoralized as hell.
