The O.C. Register is reporting that the anti-commie protests in Little Saigon, at the offices of Viet Weekly magazine, are finally over! It’s about time.
“The protests began in July when community members objected to some of the Weekly’s pro-communist opinion pieces and demanded that publisher Le Vu change his coverage and writing style,” according to the O.C. Register.
Apparently the protesters felt that Viet Weekly was pro-communist. Really? Did someone forget to tell them that we have a free press in this country? That their actions were anti-freedom – and that protesting the freedom of the press is something real Commies would be proud of?
The protesters will continue to protest at Nguoi Viet Daily News. “Protesters say they were offended by a photo of a foot spa painted in the color of the South Vietnamese flag, which was published in their Lunar New Year edition,” according to the O.C. Register.
So the protesters are also into censuring artists. Nice. At least they are consistent. Consistently anti-freedom that is.
Maybe these protesters need to find out what Commies have done historically – you know kill reporters, kill artists, kill intellectuals… The Little Saigon protesters ARE the Commies!
BTW, If you are wondering why I put up a picture of the Vietnam flag on this post, it’s because I CAN. This is a free country. It would appear that the Little Saigon protesters haven’t figured that out yet.
I thought that freedom of speach goes both ways.
#1,
They have a right to protest, but their protest is un-American. They are enjoying the freedom this country offers but don’t undrtstand it.
And don’t forget that these protests have included threats and violence. Exactly what you would expect from Commies.
i agree with what you say art and that flag is a nice touch. but why doesnt your little friend janet speak out against these communists? instead she goes out there and supports them. does janet have communist leanings? sure sounds like it to me. she has no backbone her apology to the sheriffs dept. showed that. what a waste.
The act of protest is VERY American. It is at the heart of what it means to be an American. However, I agree that violence has no place in legitimate protest.
Your statement that “they … don’t understand it” smacks of racism.
the other day i went to the block and bought an article of clothing from Hollister made in Vietnam. am i supporting communists?
Yes you did. Give us address so we come and protest yourhouse for next 11 month. Only us people have right to free speech!
junior,
Racism? No. I just think that these protesters don’t have a clue as to the founding principles of this country. They are acting just like the commie tyrants that defeated them in Vietnam.
I wish that all the local elected Vietnamese officials would tell these commie protesters to cut it out.
