Ceremony planned to celebrate nation's 60 years of communism riles critics

NEW YORK - Critics of China's communist government are protesting plans to light the top of New York's Empire State Building red and yellow to honor that nation's 60th anniversary.

Several supporters of Tibet protested Wednesday outside the iconic building, where a lighting ceremony is planned. The building often changes its lighting colors to mark holidays and big events.

Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York says the lights should not be used to pay tribute to what he called "a nation with a shameful history on human rights."

  Amen. Didn't we do something similar for a Muslim holiday not too long ago?

  Red and green lights for Christmas, and red, white and blue lights for the rest of the year. Done.

I assume they'll also be honoring Adolf Hitler on 4/20?

My thoughts exactly. Why do we feel it necessary to celebrate the birth of a nation that has the blood of 10's of millions of people on its hands? I'm sure there will be a flag raising at the White House as well.

I mean, WTF?
