I was working while listening to Dylan Ratigin's Show on MSMBC today when Dylan and two guests were discussing the case of blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng. I missed the names of the guests but I clearly heard one of the guests call for the "house arrest" of Hilary, Bill AND Chelsea Clinton to (I'm paraphasing here) "teach Hillary a lesson" about being under house arrest!
I'm not happy with China's treatment of any of their political dissidents, but calling for the arrest of the Clinton's is really crazy at best. Maybe I missed it, when I was choking on my soda, but I didn't hear Dylan or anyone else call the guy out on it.
And maybe I missed something else, but I also remember the media and the right-wingers, and almost everyone else, flipping out when Hillary Rosen said that Ann Romney "never worked a day in her life." Will they treat this the same?
I'll update as soon as I can get the guy's name and a transcript/video from the show.
I still can't belive what I heard!
UPDATE: Thanks to HappyinMN for the following:
The man's name is Prof. Peter Navarro, UC Irvine. He said:
I've never been more ashamed right now, Dylan, of American foreign policy. And I think it's important to look at this in an historical context. In 1994, Bill Clinton is president---was the first to decouple human rights from all these economic and national security issues. And then Hillary Clinton, as her first act, her very first act as Sec'y of State was to do the very same thing, was to state very clearly to the world that she would not hold China accountable to human rights with respect to other issues. And now we have the spectacle of our gov't giving the bum's rush to a blind man, out of the embassy, so we can host another meaningless summit on economic and national security matters, and I say this now with my tongue sort of in cheek, but what we should do is put Hillary, her spouse, and her daughter under house arrest and let whatever happens to Chen and his family happen to them, and maybe in this country we would finally get it. This is shameful, Dylan, and we, as a country, we've got to figure this out---that the people that we're dealing with on the other side of the Pacific is a totalitarian regime that does not have our best interest at heart.
