I didn't want to be the one to tell you (although I now understand why the college loved and promoted this guy), but the DL is a FRAUD!!!!
If he's about peace and non-violence, why is he joking around and praising war criminals like Bush and McCain?
Take a stand, but don't take too much of a stand, right, guy?
Oh, the painful and heart-breaking disillusion never ends!!!!
"McCain announces visit today with the Dalai Lama
Maybe this will enable John McCain to compete for air time.
His campaign announced yesterday that he will meet with the Dalai Lama today, when Barack Obama will be hobnobbing with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France.
McCain will meet the Tibetan spiritual leader in Aspen, Colo., where the Dalai Lama plans to address a symposium on Tibetan culture. He has been in exile in India since a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959. The plight of the Tibetan people has drawn more attention leading up to the Olympics in Beijing.
"I have been a great admirer of the Dalai Lama," McCain said yesterday in Columbus, Ohio, calling him a "transcendent national role model."
In March, after China cracked down on monks demonstrating in Tibet, McCain urged the Chinese government to open a "genuine dialogue" with the Dalai Lama and urged the release of monks detained for "peacefully expressing their views."
In response, the Dalai Lama sent a letter to McCain, thanking him for "concern you have shown regarding the sad turn of events in Tibet and for your efforts to persuade the Chinese authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with the demonstrations (Boston Globe)."
I didn't highlight anything except that because I'm just tired of the prop push.
You see it, I see it, we know what it is, and we are both tired of it (which is why you and I are here).
