Hillary Clinton, on behalf of the Obama Administration, presented the first ever report on Human Rights violations in the United States to the United Nation's Human Rights Council detailing the violations in the US that the Obama Administration believes are worthy of reporting to that body at large for comment and recommendations.
These included Arizona's recently passed Immigration bill which mirrors US Federal Law, high unemployment rates, hate crimes, poverty, poor housing, lack of access to health care, and discriminatory hiring practices affecting Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, South Asians, Native Americans, and homosexuals and included sexual assaults in US prisons and detention of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay.
Apparently America's shortcomings, these so-called "atrocities", have been elevated by Clinton and Obama to the same status of murderous acts of torture and genocide, due to ethnic and religious discrimination and persecution, found elsewhere in the world and routinely reported to the same council.
In this litany of apologetic soul searching, what was conspicuously absent were the citations of incidents of violence against Tea Party participants, voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party and fraud committed by ACORN.
Gee, how could any of those have possibly ever been overlooked ?
