Geneva, Switzerland, Dec 12, (UP) - The United Nations Commission on Human Rights today rejected a Soviet proposal to make racial and religious discrimination and propaganda inciting "national hatred" crimes punishable by law.

The proposal was defeated, 10 to 4, with China, Egypt and the Phillipines abstaining. Voting for it with Russia were Yugoslavia, Byelo-Russia and the Ukraine. The United States, United Kingdom and France were among the countries voting against the proposal.

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, United States delegate, objected that the Soviet proposal implied a legal obligation which would bring "even a slight infringement by an individual under criminal law."

In presenting the idea, Soviet Delegate A.E. Bogomolov said that only by declaring racial discrimination a crime "will we be able to end such acts as lynching of Negroes."

Lord Dukeston of the United Kingdom said "in plain language" the Soviet proposal meant that a one-party government could discriminate against those with differing political convictions because there were no provisions for the protection of political opinions...

Class, do we all recall that the 'holocaust' is essentially old Stalinist propaganda?

Some members of 4um are too embarrassed to recall that the Soviet Union passed a law making anti-semitism a criminal offense, punishable by hanging.

There was no corresponding law for anti-goyism, that brought us the Holodomor which theses same peopel care not to discuss.

I was debating a long post related to this on the gun-grabbing thread:

The Veterans Disarmament Act -HR 2640, section 102 HAS "PASSED" IN THE HOUSE

I was having second thoughts on posting it when I read the blurbs about the UN and US being against the "hate crimes proposal" in Russia. Then I noticed it was written in 1947.

I posted it, and pinged you.

Well... embarrassed is better than proud, right? (*shrug*)

When people wake up and realize that is exactly what we are dealing with here, though it is too late, hopefully partisan gamesmanship will be acknowledged as the suicide it is.

It's just too ingrained to change.

This nation already accepts human sacrifice on a daily basis, and hardly raises an eyebrow.

There is plenty of shame to go around, even for those who love to wear party hats.

The handbasket has landed.
