Anybody else notice how the corrupt liberal media has failed to report
on the massacre going on in China right now? Of course they wont
report it because this would tarnish the image of the system they love
so much.
I checked with a source, in Asia, and found that only two were killed and
several wounded. It seems that the villagers attacked the police and some
resisted arrest while others were prepared to "fire bomb" the police.

Perhaps the killings were justified????

Here is another report from the "news blaze" Radio Free Asia.

Chinese Police Fire on Protesters, Killing At Least Two
By Radio Free Asia

HONG KONG - At least two villagers in China's southern province of Guangdong
have died after police fired on a crowd protesting the construction of a
wind power plant, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reports.

Witnesses told RFA's Mandarin service that by 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, villagers
Jiang Hu and Jiang Guanji had died in the local hospital while a third,
identified as Tang Daxiang, was receiving emergency treatment. Dongzhou
Hospital authorities near the city of Shanwei confirmed two deaths and one
wounded undergoing treatment, but they declined to give names.

"At least four villagers have died," another villager said at approximately
11:30 p.m. "There is a dead body on the street yet to be retrieved. Many are
wounded by gunshots. I don't know what kind of guns. I just know they were
using real bullets on us. No policemen were wounded."

"The hospital has become a virtual funeral hall with family members of the
dead crying," one villager told reporter Ding Xiao.

"They were bleeding. One was hit in the head, one in the foot, and one in
the torso. They have been rushed to Dongzhou Hospital. We have prepared
detonators. We're ready to fight," another said.

Riot police sent

According to several eyewitness accounts, hundreds of riot police moved into
the site of the wind power plant Monday after a long-simmering dispute over
how much villagers should be paid for land slated to become a wind-power
plant. Around midday Tuesday, three representatives from Dongzhou village
went to the site to see what was happening. The three villagers were
immediately detained, witnesses said.

Shortly after 5 p.m., thousands of villagers showed up at the site of the
plant and demanded the release of the three representatives, they said.
Police stationed inside the power plant fired tear gas at the crowd but
caused no serious injuries. Later Tuesday, authorities dispatched several
hundred more riot police to the site of the plant but they were stopped
outside Dongzhou village by villagers.

"We are really scared. We need your help. The riot police are at the
entrance of our village. There are several hundred of them, between 400 and
500," one villager said in an interview that was cut off several times.

No answer, no comment from officials

"They were firing shots. But they were afraid to move in. We had blocked the
roads with water pipes, gasoline and detonators," another villager said.
"And there were about 10,000 villagers there. We tried calling the central
government several times for help. But all we got was answering machines."

Riot police have now crashed through roadblocks set up by villagers and
dismantled their tents near the power plant. Villagers have retreated back
to Dongzhou village, they said.

Li Min, deputy mayor of Shanwei and chief of public security, asked to
comment by phone, said only, "I don't know" and hung up. Guangdong
provincial public security offices and the Guangdong provincial government
went unanswered.

A duty officer at the Dongzhou police station said, "I am not familiar with
the situation." Asked to confirm that two villagers had died, he said,
"There is no such thing," and hung up.

Local sources said construction began on a wind-power plant several months
ago but halted amid a dispute over land compensation.

How the ACLU and other secularist Grinches have almost stolen Christmas -
and how you can fight back now

The War on Christmas

by John Gibson

"Happy holidays!" Every time a supermarket checker or store clerk greets you
with those words instead of "Merry Christmas," you have met another soldier
in the war against Christmas. Secularists are bent on imposing upon us a
neutered, secular winter holiday that throws out every trace of Christianity
from the public observance of Christmas. It's all necessary, they tell us,
to avoid offending non-Christians and, above all, to keep from violating the
all-important separation of church and state. Meanwhile, Christians in
America are increasingly marginalized and shunted aside.

In The War On Christmas: How the Conspiracy to Subvert Our Most Sacred
Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought, popular FOX News anchor John Gibson
reveals that this is not happening because of some cultural consensus. On
the contrary, he explains that a thorough and virulent anti-Christmas
campaign is being waged today by liberal activists, ACLU fanatics, craven
politicians, sinister agenda-driven educators, and witless media mavens. But
for all their efforts, the Grinches have not won: plucky Christians are
already fighting to retake their place in the public square.

Gibson reveals just how bad things have become: in Illinois, state
government workers were forbidden to say "Merry Christmas" while at work. In
Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a
public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall. A New Jersey school banned
even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols. And Arizona
school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any
reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project. But
according to Gibson, despite what the ACLU says, all of this is completely
unnecessary from a genuine Constitutional perspective: the last thing on the
Founding Fathers' mind when they wrote that "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" was the banning of all public
celebration of Christmas.

What's more, the Left's campaign to infringe upon Christians' free exercise
of their religion has not achieved total victory. Gibson shows how millions
of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and
liberal local officials. He shows you how you can help save Christmas from
being twisted beyond recognition. The War on Christmas is a perfect gift for
all those who want to restore Christianity to its rightful place in American
public life -- give it to them with a hearty "Merry Christmas!"

The War on Christmas reveals:

- Proof: Christmas is under attack in such a sustained and strategized
manner that there is without any doubt a war on Christmas

- How the Constitutional concept of non-establishment of a religion has
been twisted into a hostility to Christianity that is itself quite obviously
unconstitutional

- Common sight in American public schools every December: Hanukkah and
Kwanza decorations proliferating everywhere, but nary a mention of Christmas

- How the war on Christmas is not just being fought in loony-left blue
state strongholds, but in the American heartland

- The ACLU, ADL, and Americans for the Separation of Church and State:
how they provide the legal muscle and contorted logic to anti-Christmas
warriors while looking approvingly on public expressions of Islam, Hinduism,
and Judaism

- The ridiculous lengths to which the ACLU has gone in its war against
Christmas and its quest to remove all vestiges of Christianity from public
life -- including its argument that a rural Georgia school calendar that
contained the word "Christmas" represented state endorsement of Christianity
and was thus unconstitutional

- Amateur constitutionalists who occupy positions of power in America,
and are making up the law as they go along (often after being intimidated by
the ACLU)

- The ACLU lawyer who, on his lunch break, inspected a Christmas tree
that had been set up in the Pennsylvania state capitol and found, among its
thousand ornaments, three that were cross-shaped -- and promptly filed suit

- How liberals stir up fears of aggressive Christians' turning public
schools into religious organizations and America into a theocracy to gain
support for their war on Christmas

- How officials forbade a Texas schoolgirl to give other students goodie
bags inscribed "Jesus is the reason for the season"

- Roger Ailes: how he put identification breaks that wished viewers
"Merry Christmas" on the air on Fox News stations -- to the shock and horror
of the politically correct establishment

- The throngs of lawyers who are now willing to take on the ACLU and
defend Christmas

- How Christmas has become the new litmus test of our nation's
willingness to abide by its own Constitution, to make certain that people
are free to express their religion without being told that they must keep
their beliefs private and tucked out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. ;-)

Harry, I purposely quoted the news clip from "Radio Free Asia" because it is
very right wing. This is the station that is broadcasting reports for the
CIA. It is also funded by the CIA. This was to counter the thread
started that was saying reports are not taken seriously by the "liberal"

It's too early to say with any certainty the situation in China, but I
have always been surprised at the violence in some Asian protests. IIRC,
several demonstrations in S. Korea and Japan, the use of fire bombs were
common. There was a protest over an airport, several years back, that had
fire bombs used against the police almost daily.

I'm performing a public service.

The reality is, Christmas itself is a canard, a holiday
that only by convention is celebrated on the 25th of December. The date
itself has nothing to do with the man now called Jesus. What you are
celebrating is a holiday created from whole cloth by Constantine the Great
in the fourth century. He picked the same date as an existing pagan
festival.

Jesus, a pious Jewish man, probably would have disdained the holiday named
for him via a name that was not his.

Probably not Harry.

Interesting topic for the rec.boats forum...

It's broad sweeping generalizations like "Liberal Media Bias" that make
it difficult for constructive discourse between groups with differing
views. You can't believe everything that Rush tells you. Stop fueling
the fire and make a real point.

http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2447

This line seems to say a lot:

A full 92% of responding journalists said the quality of economic policy coverage on broadcast TV
networks was only "fair" or "poor," with just 6% saying it was "good" and not a single respondent
saying it was "excellent."

And that's with journalists rating journalists! Thirty-five percent thought the major daily
newspapers were 'fair' or 'poor'. And that's journalists rating journalists!

Of the minority who do not identify with the center, most have left leanings concerning social
issues and right leanings concerning economic ones. (But go look at the numbers.)
