Obama's bailout for the despots

It's President Obama's worst bailout so far. He's going to rescue the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Now admittedly, the council wasn't on the verge of going out of business. Heck, if there were a nuclear war, the pinstriped thugs of the United Nations' "human rights" bureaucracy would probably be all that's left to keep the cockroaches company.

But although the effete goons of the UNHRC aren't going bankrupt, Obama has bailed them out in another way. He's given the repugnant cabal that dominates the council a fresh injection of political capital.

President Bush refused to cooperate with the agency, and even held back the share of U.S. dues to the United Nations that went toward it. Obama, on the other hand, feels it is vital to work with the organization from the inside.

The old U.N. Commission on Human Rights was a travesty, recognized -- even by the U.N. leadership -- as a petri dish of moral decay and political corruption. It was the foremost, though far from the sole, U.N. agency dedicated to the defamation, demonization and destruction of Israel. It was closed down in 2005, only to be replaced the following year with the Human Rights Council. Not surprisingly, the transformation was as superficial as it sounds. Once the ink was dry on the new stationery, the world's worst human rights abusers flocked back to run the council.

There is no limit to the damage this marxist quisling is doing to the country.
