19 cowardly China-appeasing nations to boycott Nobel Peace Prize

NYTIMES:

Nineteen governments have said their ambassadors will not attend a ceremony this week awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, the Norwegian prize committee said Tuesday, more than tripling the number of rejections and reflecting the strong pressure exerted by Beijing to boycott the event.

In a statement on its Web site, the peace prize committee said that as of Monday, 44 embassies in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, had signaled their intention to send a representative to the ceremony on Friday. But the number who “for various reasons declined our invitations” rose to 19, from six three weeks ago, the statement said.

Those countries are China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Venezuela, the Philippines, Egypt, Sudan, Ukraine, Cuba and Morocco.

THE OBAMA PRIZE WAS A JOKE.

THIS BOYCOTT IS SICKENING.

ADD'EM UP: THE WHOLE DANG NOBEL THING IS A SHAM - ABOUT AS MEANINGFUL AS BLACKWELL'S WORST DRESSED LIST WAS.

WE SHOULD ALL BOYCOTT THESE 19 NATIONS - AND CHINA.
