By FITSNews || For those of you unfamiliar with America’s favorite liberal bumper stickers, “Free Tibet” is one of the all-time classics, maintaining its hold (adhesively-speaking) amidst the recent onrush of “Save Darfur” and “Obama ’08″ stickers.
Of course the man who is actually fighting to “Free Tibet,” the Dalai Lama, was subjected to one of the most shameful humiliations in U.S. diplomatic history last weekend when the administration of Barack Obama (his new neighbor on liberal car bumpers) had him escorted out of the White House servant’s entrance.
“Taken out with the trash,” in case you missed the point.
The Dalai Lama has been meeting with U.S. Presidents since 1991, and while most administrations have downplayed his visit in an effort not to offend China, this is the first time we can recall him having to endure such a carefully staged humiliation – which was no doubt engineered right down to the placement (and plumpness) of those trash bags.
Seriously, Obama didn’t just do the “he’s not being received as a political leader” two-step, his team set out to embarrass a man whose only crime has been to wage a non-violent struggle for freedom and human rights for the better part of six decades.
Look … we get that China owns America. Literally.
And we get that Obama cannot afford to piss off his banker.
But this is embarrassing. And disgraceful. And beneath the dignity of our country.
Unlike Obama, the Dalai Lama actually earned his Nobel Peace Prize, people. He didn’t deserve this calculated display of diplomatic disrespect.
"Don't slip, Dalai."
Also, WTF is with all that trash, Yo-bama? Recycle much?

Surely a man as humble as the ole DL didn’t even
notice the trash or perceive an insult.

Don’t think for a minute that this photo-op wasn’t staged to placate the Chi-coms…

How shameful! While a small thing, how you treat a guest is important.

Aside from the overwhelming stench of Obvious Photoshopping, this “story” also contains an unnecessary aroma of Flat-Out BS.

This photo, and story, have been around since late last week. It was even covered on NBC, which is not really known for trying to make Barry look bad. I am not aware of anyone claiming the photo was doctored, but perhaps MC can show us all what is so obvious to him, but not to anyone else?

The Dalai Lama is a gay fag that deserves to be thrown out like trash.

I don’t understand all this excitement. Actually this was a very clever move.
China is upset, because Obama invited the Dalai Lama. But you have to know that especially the Chinese know a lot about subliminal messages. This gesture is to the Chinese an even more clearer “take out the trash”-action than to us. So he invited the Dalai Lama to the White House while calming the Chinese. You couldn’t do anything better in such a situation. It’s just perfect!

Makes you wonder who was at the front door.
Besides “non-violent struggle” my ass. Check the Dalai Lama’s brother for starters.

“non-violent struggle for freedom and human rights ”
That’s all Americans know about Dalai Lama and Tibet? sad, sad, sad.
India has an 10,000 strong army made up of Tibetans. Dalai Lama approved the the Tibetan troops to be used by India to crush East Pakistan and Sikh rebels. Dalai Lama himself was funded by CIA to wage guerilla attack on China up to 1974.
Google: Tibetan People Uprising Movement, and you will see that they orchestrated the 2008 Lhasa riots.
99 per cent Tibetans before 1949 suffered from venereal diseases. No medicine. No hospital (except for Dalai Lama and his officials).

All we can say is if the Dalai Lama endorsed some violence every once in awhile, our estimation of him has materially improved.

“Free Tibet”? With the Dalai Lama they would just exchange one dictatorship for another which will make them even less free.

Dalai lama is a self-righteous FAGGOT and you would judge similarly based on the facts.
